Anyone invest in Bitcoin?
Does any work related to cryptocurrency?
At the stage of setting up mining machines?

Post it up here.
I have seen my portfolio went up/down a lot within the past 3 months.

Not yet. Only 1% of the people in the world know what this is about. If you don't trust me go and ask.
6 months ago my buddy bought some shitty crypto, that damn thing made him $15k in 2 months. wtf is what I was thinking???
Anyway, I went right in after that. I did not have a lot of money to lose so I put what I am comfortably lose. Turn out I am on +++ side.
Who knows what is going to happen next year.

Some think that it's a bubble. E.g. http://time.com/money/4927041/bitcoin-bubble-robert-shiller/

Does not necessarily mean you won't make money - depends on the timing.

Exactly the reason why a lot of people stay away from it. I did too in the beginning and I wish I wouldn't.
We will see how it plays out next year or later down the road.

Interesting thread... I'm a crypto guy, although I don't know much about bitcoin. But I share an office with a person who is pretty knowledgeable on the technical aspects. He's in Japan this week, but when he gets back I'll see what he thinks...

There are a bunch of explanations online/youtube. If you are a technical person, pick the one that explain the technicality of it.
I can find you a couple articles if you could not find it.

A trader today told me about coinbase to get started.  "It", computer code ledger type currency, will eventually be the truest currency.  Something has to change because the $ is another strange useless piece of paper that is not sustainable. It is strange that my client just gave me a heads up, saw an article in the sfgate about litecoin and now this on this site.  Might have to start my digital wallet.

I have a friend who bought a bunch about two years ago.  He is pretty in-tune with BitCoin tech, news, and market.  He thinks that it's going up in price, the more the miners, the slower the generation is.  Something like that.  Everytime  I talked to him about BitCoin, I always asked why he hasn't retired yet ... lol ...

I set up the electrical for a Bitcoin mine a few years back.  They were using every bit of 400 amps, and couldn't even keep the computers cool with 15 tons of air conditioning.  Needless to say they lost hella money and folded in a year.  I think for the mining to be productive it has to be scaled up to a crazy level, because the computers use so much power and you have to keep buying newer smarter computers as the difficulty changes.

The cooling was the biggest obstacle, and they had mentioned people having mineral oil cooling systems for their chit.

There is a huge bitcoin mining operation outside of Missoula at the Bonner Millsite, the "Project Spokane" bitcoin mine.  The humming from the building can be heard throughout the neighborhood.  The superintendent of the Bonner School District compared it to the sound that a jet airplane makes when it's winding up to take off, except it just stays there and never takes off.  The power demand is huge.  Project Spokane has been obtaining power from the large substation which used to serve the lumber mill, and they are in the process of adding additional lines from another substation across the Blackfoot River.
