Do yourself a favor: Hold yourself from buying bitcoin. Yes, I have read a lot of chats too. I have seen how the graph has gone up from $800 per coin in January 2017 to a little over $16,000 this January. However significantly, do yourself a favor and prevent buying. This is the most superficial bubble ever.
Despite the fact that the origins remain masked in mystery, the overall harmony is that bitcoins had been designed to practice and collect information on the nature of transactions, both as a research tool or diverting diversion. The very manner of making new bitcoins (mining) depends on recording their transactions, growing a remarks loop one may describe as self-regulating. There are no rules and regulations till now being adopted by any government or financial institution for its generation, creation and regulations.
So try to invest on real products or opportunities which are being floated on strong grounds instead to be on road all at once.
