Investment in Bitcoin (Virtual Currency)

Question
What is the ruling on investing in Bitcoin 'virtual currency'? Is it similar to stock market shares?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: this currency is not recognized, and it is not permissible to invest in it; due to the lack of global acceptance, and because it is not safe, and it is different from stocks, and God knows best.
