I assume we're talking about Bitcoins? Saw a headline today decrying them as a Ponzi scheme. Didn't have time to read the article and really know nothing about them, but I have heard of them.

I heard about Bitcoin and others and wondered what would happen if there was no electricity or WiFi or other Net connections, or some servers somewhere went down hard. All the worth is locked away unless the electrons flow. It can happen to brick and mortar banks also, but banks have to have some kind of manual backup or they do not pass muster.

Once again, that's what stop orders are for. I've known a few folks who have wished they hadn't entered one, but I've known MANY more who wished they had.;)
