I was skeptical about Bitcoin for a while, but you can't argue that it has made a lot of people rich. I think some big losses can be made as well, but that's just the nature of the game. Don't invest more than you can lose applies here. This also doesn't mean that gold/silver don't have a place. Both coexist and in my opinion, should coexist, in some form in someone's investments.
