Unless you are living under a rock, you surely have heard of bitcoin as it surpassed the $10,000 mark yesterday and briefly topped $11,000. You may have no idea what it is or how it works but the stories of kids turning into multimillionaires in short order are undoubtedly tickling your greedy side. We are all human and can't resist the thought of turning a few dollars into millions and then enjoying ourselves sipping a drink with a tiny umbrella on some exotic beach. But please heed my warning. The bitcoin mania will end in tears for most investors (especially those considering buying late in the game) and unless you are in it for a quick buck and trade, then please don't give into temptation.
