yea well of course... the early adopters want to convince the whole world to buy bitcoin, they just have to make that dare seem convincing. Hope for his sake he takes his money out before the bitcoin apocalypse hits
yea man there is certainly money to be made in it i'm not denying that (though i DO believe the value may crash soon... the recent upswing is a simple bidding war because of new markets & publicity).
personally i won't buy any because i think it's immoral but if you don't have qualms like that sure go for it just PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't spend significant time/energy on it & pretend to everyone that you are some sort of economist because you read the lit on "bitcoinhypesite.com". learn guitar instead, and don't play acoustic at parties. play electric, in your basement & unleash it when you're a demon at it
