to be fair to OP, there has been a lot of topics lately spreading FUD about bitcoins.
If bitcoins are going to be discussed, having a user base that is educated would be nice so that we don't have to explain the same exact things over and over.
This thread can be linked to when someone says something retarded about bitcoin.

Since you brought it up:
$20 would buy 6000BTC which is worth about $120k
But you know, "monopoly money", right?

You can keep trying to deny that sites like MtGox/Tradehill/Bitmarket.eu/etc. exist, but they are still there. You can check for youself, and people will buy bitcoins at around ~$20

The price dropped because of the mt gox hack (a good time to buy).
But according to https://www.tradehill.com/MarketData/ the last trade was 13.6USD.
So a $20 investment would pay out $40k if you sold now, but it was at $30 at one point.
Regardless, the price will go on up again, because the economy is continuing to grow.

I had a few, sold them when the price went up. It went up again, I bought some more, and resold when they went up again. I have about 21 coins in my wallet, and some money in my credit union.
