Whites man Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 It's a symptom of the search for yield, with low bond rates and equities thought to be overvalued folk are investing elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e2e4 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 haha.. found it (is it a run dmc logo?) i remember trying to use it once, i think it said "will take 298 days to syncronize (the bitcoin ledger)" at the bottom, i think i ended up buying what i were after with me debit card..i wouldve run out of hard drive space as well. it were ages ago, so i'll bet it's miles bigger/worse now. can't even figure out how a Futures market for it would even work.. *ahem* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamiwhite Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Been doing well with a Goldbloc linked one recently. Bitcoin is too volatile now and ready to burst. The Goldbloc (TRAC) is a different type of crypto currency, MasterCard have just signed up as vaulting partner for one company, totally De risking everything and making the project very secure and safe from financial crashes due to the gold aspect. That company LION will do very well next week. Thankfully, I got in early doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freds dad Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 My lad has dabbled in Bitcoin and has made a few quid over the past few months. He's now talking about buying into IOTA and asked if I fancy it. I can afford to lose a couple of hundred quid so although I trust his judgement does anyone else have a view. https://iota.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maaarsh Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 The purpose of a currency is to have a relatively stable value so it can be used to ease trade in things people actually want. As such Bitcoin is utterly useless. It's just a zero yield investment asset with no intrinsic value. At least when people used to invest in daft bubbles they got a tulip out of it if nothing else.

Spot on. Whereas Goldbloc sees an actual asset, hence why MasterCard have become a partner. Bitcoin will disappear soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkonion Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 some folk are going too lose a lot of fucking money, if thats the case. I'm always puzzled when a large amount of people lose money in any type of financial crash as to where the lost money actually goes? Take the money 'lost' in the crash of 2007/8 for example, I'm sure it didn't get blasted into space or burnt on a big bonfire. Is it because most money doesn't actually exist in any tangible form in the first place anyway, but if so where does the imaginary money disappear to?

Like my diesel car at the moment is probably worth about £7000 - but if the government legislates against it because its a pollutant then it will drop in value and therefore I'll 'lose' money. That's how I thought it worked anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I thought it worked anyway. Yes, it's always been perceived value to me. Like Eddie Davies' £170m he "lost" in the Wanderers. If Eddie had the nous to make the original loans in Bitcoin, we'd now be the richest club in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
