What Stuart said. Blockchain is an interesting technical approach to a fault tolerant distributed data register, but it's horribly slow and inefficient to process transactions compared to existing methods.
Bitcoin as a cryptocurrency still has to stand the trust test.
Like anything, if you're investing in something with an expectation of making large returns for little effort, then the 'missing' element is risk. Only invest money in Bitcoin that you are prepared to lose, because that's what will probably happen.
