    Really good article that @Jaron78. You've reminded me that I've got some bitcoin myself that when I load it up comes up with corrupted wallet. I might have a go at fixing it later.

    You never know, I've got a great many crypto, many worthless but they're all a bit like having a lottery ticket aren't they. You just need patience.

    "Hanyecz bought two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoin, a quantity of the cryptocurrency that is now worth more than $21 million. Bitcoin aficionados use that milestone every year to track the growth of the cryptocurrency. The #Bitcoin pizza is worth$20,509,958 today." Quote taken from Mashable.com 23 May 2017

    Any you recommend?
    I have a couple and who knows, the little startup that I have signed up for, could be the next BitCoin :)

    Oh very nice very nice. I dare not recommend any as I wouldn't want it on my conscience. A mate of mine has been looking at ripple lately but I've not looked too much into it. Best of luck with the venture mate, nothing ventured nothing gained

    I've put a little bit into some cryptos last week. Trying to get my bank account verified so I can put more in. Hopefully there's still quite a bit growth to go with the main players over the next couple of years.

    Seen quite a few people recommending NoLimitCoin as well. Probably have a punt on that and a few others.

    I'm absolutely not a gambling man either, so hopefully this rare impulsivity pays off. How are yours hanging Jaron?

    Thanks mate. Do you literally just get sent free coins every week?

    Also, have you had any problems with coinbase? I've been waiting a while to get them to verify my bank account. I'm not paying 4% every time I make a deposit, so I'm waiting till that account's verified to invest more. Seems to be a lot of people on trustpilot with similar problems.

    No problems as yet mate. But only been using them a short while.
    I usually hit the site 10 or 11 times a day and cash in. You only get your coins once it reaches 100+.

    Should have my first coins by next Monday so will let you know.

    You just literally don't know do you. Some of these penny coins if you will could skyrocket one day. Admittedly it will probably be in years to come but it's interesting and exciting I think. Make sure you don't lose and do secure those wallets!

    Though a friend of mine a year ago or so took out a 5k loan and bought BitCoin. Wants to retire at 50 and reckons he may be able to the way its going.
