I can’t be that, I’m seriously lacking in BERF credentials. So much so that most women I’ve fancied have observed that it’d be a great idea to give me a wide BERF

Which just reinforces his point that it's purely a speculative asset class, and of no practical use (aside for buying drugs online).Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 12:11 pmYou know you can sell into GBP and withdraw within about 5 mins?Long slender neck wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 9:30 am Of course its just for speculators.

It's currently a (very good) store of value. (And yes, I know that wasn't the intended purpose - but maybe that will still come).Dunners wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 12:13 pmWhich just reinforces his point that it's purely a speculative asset class, and of no practical use (aside for buying drugs online).Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 12:11 pmYou know you can sell into GBP and withdraw within about 5 mins?Long slender neck wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 9:30 am Of course its just for speculators.

People should sink your money into less volatile tangible assets like property

Re: The latest price of a Bit-coin.
Is the value of btc increasing, or is the value of global fiat currencies collapsing?

Fair point. It's certainly outperforming my Marcus account.Hoover Attack wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 12:19 pmIt's currently a (very good) store of value.

Is there any data on whether increased market activity is being driven by existing speculators or more new participants entering the market?

I had you down as a Coutts man, or have they kicked you out as well?

Re: The latest price of a Bit-coin.
I do not have any data but from a quick look at r/Bitofacon, there are definitely a whole new swathe of investors getting involved.

Re: The latest price of a Bit-coin.
Gold prices have also been increasing, which suggests investors have been looking to ditch fiat for other stores of value.

Re: The latest price of a Bit-coin.
I think I've solved the mystery behind the recent BTC spike.
Both Egypt and Nigeria have just devalued their currencies in 2024, with other African countries expected to follow. It's capital flight.

Re: The latest price of a Bit-coin.
I have asked this question to many people who claim to own Crypo Currencies but they have never been able to answer, maybe someone here can?
Say you own £2000 of crypto currencies and you want to buy something worth £500.00 from John Lewis with some of it. How long will it take to get the money out?

Re: The latest price of a Bit-coin.
It depends on your crypto wallet. But, if you were to use a relatively simple retail app like Revolut, you can do an exchange pretty much instantly (just watch for the exchange fees).Yanzi Gravy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 10:13 amI have asked this question to many people who claim to own Crypo Currencies but they have never been able to answer, maybe someone here can?

Re: The latest price of a Bit-coin.
Can the mods install a live price ticker on this site so everyone can watch this unfold in real time?
