    Mad_Cyril has anyone mentioned FIAT recently?

        LT42 it’s devaluing at alarming rates against real money

            Fixed it for BP.

            Mad_Cyril BP Chief Exec - “Shit got real at the last shareholder’s meeting. So fuck it. Bollocks to pretending we ever wanted to pursue anything but unrestrained profiteering, at any cost to appease our shareholders is all that matters. Twelve holidays a year, sprawling mansions, and private schools don’t pay for themselves, you know.”

              Hursty Honest question … how does crypto replace fiat as functional currency when exchanges can’t be trusted to not lose/steal your savings?

                  303abuser trust is a great question and you are correct about exchanges being shady entities much like some banks some might say.

                  There first regulated digital asset bank approved by the state of Nebraska is due to be incorporated this year which will bring in the much needed controls to handle these type of assets.

                      Hursty So that reads to me like a government regulated crypto institution that’s issuing a digital currency (stable coin). How is that any different from the existing banking industry?

                      It’s a made up currency, not backed by gold, regulated by the same government, and relies on the trust in the institution of government to provide value. What am I missing?

                                Reform are going to clean up aren’t they?

                                So fucking depressing

                                  Think I’d genuinely rather vote for Smalls than reform.

                                  Their man on Newsnight last night was pure parody, might have been their deputy leader as well!

                                    I’m hoping Liz Truss will join their crew, instantly tanking their prospects

                                      Problem for the Tories is that they have a lack of BIG BEASTS.

                                        Desperately missing the likes of BIG BEASTS like The Rt Hon Sir Malcolm Rifkind, KCMG, KC
