Cryptocurrency
What is it? How does it work? Why would I invest? What's the guarantee of return?

You buy some it costs you some money just to have it then it goes up and down until the bubble bursts or hackers get your coins.

Unless you are mining it in a rented apartment, where your landlord pays the electric bill...theres no guaranteed return.
It's really REALLY risky. Your 'safest' bet is probably to buy a little of the 4 big ones (BERL). Bitcoin, ethereum, ripple, litecoin. Weight toward bitcoin and ether. Buy a little every month and store it off line, on paper...in your safe deposit box. Plan on holding it for years and it possibly going to zero. Don't invest more than you can afford to lose. I believe in altcoin...the biggest problem with it is that the altcoin that 'wins' might not even exist right now. Of all of them I like ether and litecoin, personally....from the little I understand them. I would avoid buying in too much to bitcoin at today's prices....but who knows...it could go higher

IIRC (and I probably don't, I know somewhere between little and ****ing nothing) the whole mining aspect of bitcoin is pretty much done. You either buy and hold or don't bother at this point...

I agree regarding bitcoin, but you can mine other coins effectively still...especially if you get free electric lol

Other coins are speculation. I think we should make that obvious here...

Bitcoins are not tangible.. All coins are speculative There's several other coins with market caps in the billions Like ethereum , ripple and litecoin Another altcoin could very easily usurp bitcoin as the main coin...in fact many think bitcoin is over valued at 100 billion mc. Some really smart people think its true value could be 10x less currently and have published papers regarding this. Remember Alta vista search engine? Google came much later...etc Pretending bitcoin is safe is unwise...as is pretending it's not speculative. In fact it is MUCH more safe to invest in multiple coins than 1 single coin (like the top 3-4 coins...ie BERL)
