Having spent some time in Argentina I can confirm their economy is an absolute blessing for those rolling with GREAT British sterling in their sky rockets.
Makes the steak, the vino tinto and the kitchen sinking as cheap as chips.
Crypto Currency - Believers Only
Is the right answer!
ECB nailed it with their impressive foresight, last gasp indeed
Hursty ECB nailed it with their impressive foresight, last gasp indeed
Oh come on, hursty. I’ve just clicked on the original post tab and if we go ALL THE WAY BACK to Mar 21, we can all read you’ve just bought an NFT to get involved. I won’t ask how your impressive foresight worked out!
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, especially where investing and the markets are concerned.
Is crypto any further on as legal tender in any country, being regulated to the extent it’s accepted as payment across the globe and being stable enough for the average joe to consider investing in it? Shirley that’s a no on all counts?
-si- NFTs were great as mentioned, it was a flash market with lots to be made, luckily I was in at the start of it relatively speaking
As for the ECB, my point there as with many mainstream outlets is that they constantly try and throw mud at Bitcoin yet it keeps going and gaining momentum. It’s not too much of a stretch to acknowledge it as an investment purely based on a store of value when that is what it has delivered in spades since its inception.
The ETFs coming in 2024 will open up new liquidity for speculators to gain exposure so we will see how that affects the price as well

I just filled up my car with Polkadot there on my coinbase card basically a free fill. The whole is it a real currency isn’t important at the moment, fact is you cant print crypto like u can the dollar, crypto actually burns its circulating supply along with staking so not just does it tackle inflation it actually gains value due to the less supply.
Unless you have had 50% pay rise since 2008 you’re wage won’t have met current inflation. Fiat is fkd and banks no it that’s why those clowns said back in January it going to zero, many here said the same.
Everyone basically needs a side hustle these days to tackle inflation esp civil servants, we are 46% poorer than 2008 which was our last proper pay rise.
Funky The £ has lost ⅓ of its value since 2020 mainly due to the printer but it never gets reported. The only reports you get are blaming other geo-political factors such as Ukraine or CPI.
The bottom line is that every single paper currency since the Ancient Greeks has failed, but remember, this time its different, (said every government who has ever introduced one throughout history).
I love it when the dynamic duo start riffing 
Funky is a civil servant? I had him down as someone who uses his hands
Doesn’t Funky help build roads?
Fairly sure he does something along those lines.
Not being disrespectful, just what I remember.

RichM well unfortunately the markets decide what has value, not individuals, so after many years of trading the market says Bitcoin has value traded against any other currency in existence.
The current market cap of Bitcoin is greater than Tesla, Meta and Berkshire Hathaway….lets see where it is in 2025
