I disagree, as I've argued many times in the past (check my hashtags for #bitcoin and #crptocurrency), the digital currencies you are referring to are incredibly volatile, completely unregulated, uninsured, are a haven for criminals and are an increasingly tantalizing target for hackers.

A proven and trustworthy company like #PayPal is the perfect middle grown for investors who want to follow the future of payments, but want safety and stability as well. Very bullish on $PYPL.

Agreed.

I'd agree with this point 100%. My main reasoning for rejecting #cryptos is the lack of regulation and no protection from hackers, such as FDIC protection.

I'm just waiting for the #bitcoin bubble too burst.

Looks like hackers stole $530 million worth of digital currency yesterday. That's even more than the famous $400 million hack of Mt. Gox back in 2014. This is one of the greatest risks of #cryptocurrency and why I enjoy the peace of mind of my FDIC insured #cash.

Here are some articles which have helped to shape my view on #bitcoin and the #crypcurrency craze:

Bitcoin Can't Win Against Fiat Currency

Also some very good articles by @[Mish Shedlock](user:5141) and @[The Heisenberg Report](user:37642).

It is unbelievable to me how #Bitcoin keeps going up and up. Don't people realize all the risks involved? This is not a real currency, could easily be hacked, and governments could deem it illegal at any moment. $BITCOMP

This #CryptoCurrency craze is getting ridiculous!

I have a lot of doubts about #bitcoin and other #cryptocurrencies, but perhaps my biggest is the fact that any government could limit, or even make illegal, cryptocurrecies, just as China has.

Makes sense. Though I think all governments are worried about a currency which they can't regulate or track. Especially when it comes to criminals and terrorists.
