I'm thinking about finding a way to invest the extra $1000-2000 I have every month. Bitcoin looks like a very attractive opportunity, and while it's obviously not the safest one I'm sure I can afford losing my savings as I'm planning to have this job for the next few years.

As far as I can understand current situation is very favorable, bitcoin has just gone down and will almost surely go up again. Though I suspect I'd better wait until it goes below $700.

So what do you think about bitcoin being the primary investment means, how good is this idea?
