Interesting Discussion

I had an interesting discussion with a friend of mine recently. I told him that I had invested some money in Bitcoin and asked him what his thoughts on Bitcoin were. He answered that he thinks Bitcoin is not a good financial tool because it is connected to the traditional financial system and wouldn’t be able to exist without real money.

I don’t have enough experience or facts to prove him wrong, so I just nodded and listened to what he had to say.

Now, my question to all of you is: Do you think Bitcoin is worth the hype, or is it just a short-lived trend that will eventually disappear from the financial world?
