Great post bobreedo – I'm going on 30 years old next year and started questioning this very question about my investments. This past week I took the plunge and bought into some cryptocurrencies, particularly BTC, LTC and ETH but only small amounts at the moment, with the goal to dollar cost average my way.
I too hope the world Governments and Banks will embrace cryptocurrencies.
First...thanks for the kind words...
Secondly...I admire your choice to take a chance...you will possibly be part of a major revolution...I also like your mature approach to it...as you say it has no guarantees...but as I've learned...nothing does...
