Yes, the cryptocurrencies could be interesting - I've missed this initial burst up but they seem pretty volatile still, so hopefully I can buy on a dip. I've no idea which I'd buy though.

I remember seeing bitcoin discussed on a tech site when it was just starting.  I though it an odd idea and moved on.  I probally could have mined some without a hardware outlay.  Later on you basically had to build custom mining rigs and despite getting solar panels I just could not see myself paying for the outlay just for that.  Once it got past the early days it I'm not sure that bitcoin have been worth more than the cost of mining them, the gains have been from the volatility.  Pity, I could have been one of those guys who had mined dozens of them when they were worthless.
