Judgmenl 11/26/17 10:50:07 AM #2:	No, but like all speculation markets you can't predict the coins success. I could have gone in on Bitcoin back in 2010 but I choose not to.

SKARDAVNELNATE 11/26/17 11:54:02 AM #4:	Pretty much it only has value because people assign value to it. The same could be said for cash. However, unlike cash, retailers are not required to accept cryptocurrencies as a form of payment. Therefore cryptocurrencies are more of a barter commodity than a true currency. --- No locked doors, no windows barred.

Unbridled9 11/26/17 1:53:52 PM #8:	No. It's not a scam. But you should be aware that China has a massive hand on its value and can control it somewhat through their media.
