I used to get emails from some chancers telling me that they had hacked my computer and had video of me watching porn, which they would distribute to everyone in my contacts unless I paid them in BITCOIN.haydenm said:
i have a small amount of bitcoin exposure at the moment but it's scary and I'm fickle. A mate of mine is £100k in profit which makes me jealous and reckless. Will definately be buying more after this cycle ends...thistle_ said:
Bitcoin's currently at a high thanks to Elon, wait a bit for it to crash then buy buy buy.haydenm said:Currently trying to round up old pensions to gamble away...

F-in scammers. Clicked on this faceache messenger missive sent from old university pal, embedded video, click on, asked for my login, put in password then went .... hold on... Yep, scam hack. Get on the proper PC, shut it all down, all devices logged off, password reset, enable 2 factor authentication, and then think xxxx where else may I have used that password?
Hopefully shut it down before any spread but who knows. F-in waynekers.0 -
Preferably an expensive one who will do me a gantt chart, stick to it, clean up, finish the snagging and guarantee their work. If you can find me a cheap one that does that, send him my way.tlw1 said:

A day of meetings. Tokyo, Mozambique, Sweden and Germany. Quite interesting, business wise and tax wise.
Thinking of the old smack and crack, but settled for a can of Perła and a frankly obscenely large gin.
Pinno's smashing parathas have made me order a shoulder of mutton to make the curry to end all curries next week. It'll be a dhansak. I'll be heading up tooting tomorrow with a facemask to do the ingredient hunt.
Tomorrow arrives a bouquet for Mrs H³, and also an Italian box from cafe Murano. Plus a slightly amusing card.

I bought £300 worth about a year ago when it dropped in value. At the last boom I sold about half of them for £300 and have just kept the rest so I haven't lost out.haydenm said:

I was watching the prices/trades on the app the other day and I'm pretty sure a lot of it is being done by bots selling for 2.00, buying back at 1.99, then selling again for 2.01 - making tiny margins 24 hrs a day.1 -
Looking back, the earliest btc purchase I can find is this one.
I had been buying off a different platform before at an even lower price.
If only I'd had 20:20 hindsight.

I think first I bought was at around GBP 50.
Google tells me if I held on to those 2.5 btc, then that 200 quid in 2013 would today be > 80k.0 -

Yep, massive power consumption in the mining, solving and the encryption process and i'm sorry H3, I hope it goes belly up and quickly.
I can foresee people in the future saying that there was nothing wrong with investing in Bitcoins, it's jut that [insert server/power failure/sabotage] caused it to go wrong.
When the reality is that is one big digital selling pyramid.
Rhetorically: H3 Can you call your stockbroker tomorrow and sell your bitcoin for real money and have that real money in an account within a reasonable time frame?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Pinno. I don't have those bitcoins anymore...I sold them when they had quadrupled in price, several years ago, thinking I'd made a killing! But yes, there is a very liquid market, you can sell effectively peer to peer, or on to an exchange for fiat currency very easily for a small fee.pinno said:Yep, massive power consumption in the mining, solving and the encryption process and i'm sorry H3, I hope it goes belly up and quickly.

One of my old school friends told me to buy some back in 2013. He said they'd reach $100k within 10 years. I think he spends all his time trading various crypto currencies now.
I'm pretty sure a severe power outage or server failure would screw up the ability to obtain or spend most fiat currencies now. I think I have maybe GBP 200, EUR 500 and USD 500 in actual physical cash. Everything else is on a server somewhere.
I'm not a tech geek, or a risk seeking investor, but I understand that the blockchain technology that underpins BTC has many uses. The company I work for is setting up a JV with an oil company to track our inventory as it goes down their wells, we get paid immediately each length of pipe or valve is used, so we don't take credit risk, they don't have to take inventory risk. Lots of uses in other industries too.
