"A few hundred in Bitcoin" ? You'll need over NZ$14,000 to buy just
one Bitcoin.
And if you had bought one a month or so ago, you would have paid
nearly $30K and by now halved your money.
I'd think twice ....

You can buy less than a single bitcoin you know. I was hoping for informed replies.

I've already thought 100 times. I had a grand I was going to put into them five or six years ago but was advised against it...

I read a few articles and saw Coinbase recommended so set up a 'wallet' with them only to find that they don't trade in NZ (yet - according to them).

it as an investment rather than a currency. As long as people buy it
as an investment it is not not going to be used as a currency and
then everyone thinks of it as an investment, not currency, which it
is.
The real revolution will come when people understand that bitcoin is a currency and use it as such.

Thanks for the reply Gordon. I have some money right now that I'd rather not have sitting around and am due a change of luck so hoped to invest. I think there will be a correction after the recent drop. In the few days I've spent trying to find out how to buy some bitcoin the price has gone up 15%.

A (very) recent BBC programme went through warehouses in Iceland filled with thousands upon thousands of rack mounted computers all 'mining' bitcoin. Millions of dollars worth which use tens of thousands of dollars worth of electricity every month and nobody's switching them off because of a slight drop in price.

The posters here are typically techs. Investing in bitcoin (or
anything of a similar ilk) is primarily an *investment* decision.
From what I have been able to ascertain bitcoin is a tradable entity -
you buy and sell it - and although it is underpinned by technology,
its core is a commodity that is bought, exchanged or sold.
Uber is similar - a taxi or ride-share service underpinned by
technology (a proprietary phone app) but its still a taxi or
ride-share service.

Thanks Greybeard. I've signed up with NZBCX and oened an account.
However I'm not 'verified' yet so am still unable to buy bitcoin. I'm
looking into verification today but am a bit miffied it's taking so
long. I had a hunch ans since I started this thread bitcoin has gone
up ~20% in value - I missed that much already.
(Go here and click "1W' scale;
https://www.coinbase.com/charts?locale=en )
I don't believe it's going to rocket up but was quite sure there
would be a correction upwards this week and, as my long term plans
include getting some anyway wanted to get in before this. That said
I'm sure it's still going up for a wee while yet...

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=How+much+Bitcoin+is+the+%27minimum+purchase%27+%3F
Let's say $10. There's really no point investing less and , depending on the trader you go with there are likely flat fees of maybe US$5 per purchase. You'll also maybe be paying an 'overseas currency' fee whereever you're paying from.
Practically I'd say $100 - I don't see the point in buying less. I'll let
you know more when I know, I'm still working on getting a computer with a reasonable camera up and running so I can pose holding my drivers licence to verify my account (and the price has been trending down the last few days so there's no real hurry - I'd like to get it done by months end though).

Make a canny enough investment and maybe you'll be able to afford a

that's putting the cart before the horse I guess, so you are a bit

Thanks for that. I gave up reading Stuff quite a while back. Interesting,
the headline is he lost 10 million but he's still up on his original investment.
I didn't invest / buy any in the end. Too much trouble getting 'validated'
to buy any. It's not easy in NZ. Also a couple of weeks ago I found out that I'll likely have to move from the house I've been living in for 15 years
(and thought I would be able to live in indefinately) next year.
I'm going to need every cent I can get for that, I've been hoarding 'projects' for ages (I have an irrational fear of having nothing to keep me occupied) and am facing getting rid of loads of stuff as well as moving a house-load of furnishings and whiteware etc. (if I can find somewhere to live) when I struggle to lift 10kg and have no family to help or enough
money to pay movers.

Moving house flat does bring out the irrational fear of I can not
throw out any stiuff, or not enough stuff. You find things you never
knew you had and after it is all over you realise that there was far
too much stuff and you still have more than enough.
As a flatmate said many years ago as we loaded up the nth trailer
load of rubbish. Moving is a great chance for a dung out. In those
days it was not so much of getting rid of stuff but rather, How did
we collect so much is a couple of years?
