Investors in virtual currencies ... have to take into consideration whether risks are in line with their personal preferences and investment goals.

LJUBLJANA: Slovenia's financial watchdog issued a warning on Monday that virtual currencies – such as bitcoin – are not regulated and are not guaranteed by the central bank or any other state body. 

The Financial Stability Board, which is affiliated with the central bank, said interest in virtual currencies from the public had lately increased "very much" and particularly as an investment opportunity. It gave no further details.
