Youri McAnespie Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 That's chicken feed compared to Lily Allen turning down an offer of several hundreds of thousands of bitcoin to play a 'virtual' gig in the online game 'Second Life'... Her fee for a couple of hours work would've seen her as one of, if not the actual, richest women/woman in the world... At first she feels bad for a whhiiile and then she just criiies, she kicks herself and criiii-iiiees, she goes ahead and criii-iies...

Moderators Carlos Posted January 15, 2021 Moderators Share Posted January 15, 2021 4Chan is a mad as fuck meme website, it's where stuff like QAnon starts up. I guess someone has spent the last year on there and not communicated with anyone "normal" for a while *ba dumm tss* Anyway, back in the day, I had all our work machines doing something like BitCoin but not actually BitCoin. Had I done that, kept hold of them and not sold at any point (I would have done) then we'd be in the Champions League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone figures out a way to beat the house (ie this Gamestop short-squeeze or the 'Ripple Winter' daytrade amateur hour) the house changes the rules. Robinhood have sided with the big lad who's been handed his arse and they've took their ball home. Plus500 did similar during that mad democratic period of Wild West trading in cryptos. As soon as the little guy makes gains, manipulates the market they do not like that. They close ranks - cunts. No different to sports bookies restricting winning accounts. Their arses are always covered by small print folk either don't read or read and ignore. This class action will come to nowt - but hopefully Robinhood have been shown to be oxymoron-ically named, and with any luck their name is now mud.

The pound was at 1.43 against the dollar. Dropped to around 1.18 (maybe lower) and is now back up around 1.37. All currencies fluctuate.
