I've been reading up on Bitcoins non stop for 3 months now. The value keeps skyrocketing.... except I am extremely skeptical about buying in to it.

What are your opinions/views/advice towards bitcoins/litecoins etc

Bitcoins could go either way. Tomorrow the us government could make trading in Bitcoins illegal, and if that happens, their value will take a massive hit. Or perhaps it will become the standard currency on the internet, in which case there is no foreseeable ceiling.

Like any other currency, the value is going to fluctuate. If you're really interested, get one of the usb miners from amazon. Prices have come WAY down, you can get these things for $10-15. You might not ever make your money back with it, but it's still fun and educational.
