So here's a couple of questions...it's bitcoin in the media as much as it is in NZ? Seems there's at least one new article each day.
Next question is, where's the best place to start. I kind of feel now that yes I missed the train, but that there'd be no harm in giving it a punt with maybe $100-200 and just seeing what happens, if such low amounts are possible.
I understand the basics that mining involved etc, but I figure my hardware won't do much, I also get that there's trading, but obviously don't know where to go in terms of sites you guys trust...
What do you mean by "it's bitcoin in the media as much as it is in NZ?", did you mean "is bitcoin in the media as much as it is in NZ?", yes it is, everywhere.....
You didn't miss the boat, people said the same when it went to $250, then it crashed back to $60. They also said the same when it was $1200 before it crashed back to $200, look at it now.
Yes, it will crash again, I'm sure it will, you could even say the crash has already started.... At least I hope this is the start of the crash and not just a pullback. When it has bottomed out would be a good time to make a longer term investment. Might take some time to bottom out though, and maybe I'm wrong....
Assuming you are in NZ, then ideally you need to find an exchange you can transfer money onto so you can buy. Where are you?
