I'm sure that HMRC will appreciate the Capital Gains Tax obligation from all of this profiteering.

I’m curious to know how they would tax it as transactions are anonymous.

As someone who’s in the world of blockchain and ICO’s, I’d give this a miss for a variety of reasons. The white paper is very flimsy in terms of actual content.

I’ll admit to not knowing much about Bitcoin, but it just strikes me as being a bit unlikely that the current situation will continue.

There are also a lot of retail investors in this, that I don’t believe really know what they’re buying either.

It’s the payment method of choice for criminals, the treasury are missing out on tax, and there aren’t effective ways to short the currency. On that last point, I know hedge funds are looking at the currency (not necessarily to go long I might add), but few have actually gone in because their compliance departments are having a hard time with it. We could see a decent futures market at some point, and those short ETFs, which could cause a fair bit of downward pressure. If there’s a sustained drop, all those retail investors will be heading for the exit too, which could accelerate the drop. It’s not like a traditional currency where there is a central bank standing behind it with billions in reserves to sell to prop up the currency.

I could be completely wrong, of course. It just feels like a bubble.

Well done to you guys that have done well - good move getting in. The key now is deciding when to get out.

The thing that puts me off Bitcoin is that, due to it's virtual nature, it can, and probably will, be replaced at some point. There's a big danger that it could essentially be made redundant within a short time frame, which Faisal correctly alludes to.

If I had any sort of balance sitting there, I would be getting very itchy feet right now.

Yes all fair points! But if you invested in to 1 coin 2 weeks ago. You would have doubled.
It’s this growth that makes price go higher and higher. In turn more people buying in.. when will the bubble burst? Who knows? Maybe never maybe tomorrow...
