<prompt> Human: Im currently studying in Australia and since I live at home the twelve or so grand I have is up for investment. Dad has suggested buying shares in some blue chipribbon? stocks and collecting the dividends they give. However, I had the idea, though I havent told him, of investing in Bitcoin. If this is thea currency of the future surely I can net a tidy profit by getting in early?Im a complete novice when it comes to investing, finance and money in general so any tips or advice would be great!!EDIT: So I guess its not worth my notice... Thanks guys!! Ill probably keep chatting with dad and figure out how Ill break it up and invest. Cheers!  <response>: You might as well get your 12k in cash, put it in a pile, and light it on fire.
