<prompt> Human: I dont know if this is the right place to ask but I just wanted everyones opinion on investing in cryptocurrencies. With the rise of Bitcoin and now Litecoin climbing the ranks as well, would it be a smart move to purchase cryptocurrency. I know theyre very volatile but would it be advisable put some money aside to buy them?Im not looking for some get rich quick scheme so Ill definitely be in it for the long haul.  <response>: Take a look at the price chart for the SP 500 for the last 30 years. Now take a look at the price chart for bitcoin for the past year. Now tell me with a straight face that bitcoin looks like a long-term investment.
