I manage a few investment portfolios for clients and read up on business models and financial statements all the time. Personally, I'm a value investor and suggest the same for clients if they have enough money to "play" with. I am fully aware of people getting very rich off of cryptocurrencies and it's constantly being touted as a great way to make money. I've done extensive research on it, especially Bitcoin, and still find myself very weary and distrustful of it. Warren Buffet says to stay the hell away from it and Jordan Belfort, a scammer himself, has called it a scam. I know that both of these sources have been wrong before and their beliefs are not the gospel truth, but what do you guys think of cryptocurrencies, in particular Bitcoin? I'm curious. Thanks.

It depends on if your an investor or a trader. Which are you?
