Wow. So they're worth over 4 thousand dollars now. I wish I had some.

I notice the reference to tulips. I have the same fear for the bitcoin.
It is pretty much a fantasy currency that could disappear with the
crash of computer. A few people may make a fortune but I think there
will be an equal loss to support it.

I would not trust Bitcoin. Most often used to buy on the "dark web"
for illegal items. Need some stuff :-)
