Because of the crackdown of the price as it ha fallen and about the banning of bitcoin exchanges in other countries, so I'm afraid I might take a loss on my #bitcoin.
I am not comparing #bitcoin to post-its per-se. I'm just pointing that things have value if people are willing to pay for it. What was originally dismissed as worthless, went on to be worth a fortune. Many thought bitcoins would be worthless, but those who bought early and kept them this long could also make a fortune.
On the otherhand, should there be a major hack, or a government crackdown, or proof of an intentional scam as you fear, bitcoin could instantly become worthless.
@[Gary Anderson](user:4798), I agree with you on #bitcoin, but I would disagree slightly. Something has value if people deem it to have value. Sometimes an irrational craze surrounds some item. Just like people once spent a fortune on Ty beanie babies or garbage pail kids, or countless other worthless items, that same craze now surrounds bitcoin.
If people became crazed about fools gold, that would become valuable too.
Actually, if the person has the funds, investing that much in #bitcoin is a sure thing. Whomever it was likely knew that the very act of buying that much caused bitcoin to double in value. He could get in and get out and double his money virtually overnight
