Ask HN: What do you think of Bitcoin?

[chamza]

I am curious to see what fellow hackers, entrepreneurs, and generally bright people here at HN think of Bitcoin and it's future. Questions worth considering: Is it a worthy investment? Can it really be compared to the internet in its early days (as many people say)?

Hard to say. I watched them go from $18ish per coin down to basically nothing and now it's at $100+ per coin all in a few year time frame.

I think it's a given that some type of global digital currency will happen at some point in time but I don't think it will be bit coins or happen really soon.
