No once it bursts all the alt coins will burst even worse

Fear you might be right. Nevertheless a number of things have changed since Dec 2013, the time of the last major burst. Bitcoin was the only in/out with fiat currency. I can imagine Ripple will benefit well from a bitcoin collapse.

Or history will repeat itself from 2013 simply?

A text file worth more than gold

I'm watching it with interest but will not enter. Not my cup of tea, don't understand it well enough

Is it really any different when the BoE presses the QE button on the computer? Or indeed the FED pumping out billions of dollars a month?

Also consider Japan's movement on Bitcoin. They're really going for it in a big way now..

Wasnt there a thing a few years ago where someone chucked his HD away accidentally and then spent yonks down the dump looking for it because his bitcoin wallet was on there?

Yes it's different. You don't get paid in bitcoin and you don't pay in shop with bitcoin, you also don't pay taxes in bitcoin. Therefore the circulation is limited to exchange and few shops that accept it as alternative. Thats the difference.

there are services out there that you can utilise to use your BTC in the "real world"

for instance I'm currently buying new bathrooms from Amazon using btc

Again , the time to buy it was maybe at 300$,not now. I have a friend who invested £200k then. He's probably sitting on cash if wasnt robbed (lost contact with him as he went to Australia). he understood it, had data for it, was looking at some numbers and said "thats the thing". Well I don't see what he saw then. I'm staying away from what I don't understand.
