MY OBSERVATIONS
As per my observation I don’t recommend people to put a huge amount of money in it but I will suggest them to just get familiar with this new system .The another thing concerns me is the santoshi anonymity .So I don’t completely trust the system as well .In bitcoins , you are of your own . So , I suggest people to do considerable amount of study and expect advice’s and then only invest any amount on it.
