Opinions on whether bitcoin makes a solid investment vary widely.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon famously called bitcoin a “fraud” last year, comments he said he regrets.

As early as 2014, Warren Buffett called the cryptocurrency a “mirage.”

Dallas Mavericks owner and serial entrepreneur Mark Cuban said, “If you have money you can gamble with, then it’s worth taking a shot.”

Billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson is a huge fan of blockchain and bitcoin, though he allows that another cryptocurrency might overtake it one day.

What do I think? I tend to side with Mark Cuban: If one has money they can afford to speculate with, the money you can afford to lose; it could be considered as a hedge against the uncertainty of the world’s established currencies, much like gold is used in the investment world.
