    Interesting bit here:



    They make it sound like crypto is dodgy or summink

    I need a new brief...you ain't seen me right?
    Does this mean they won't accept the proceeds from spread betting?

            Worst case, you lose 1% of your net worth.
            Best case, who knows.

            The case for a small allocation to Bitcoin — Kana and Katana

            'If you decide to buy Bitcoin simply decide what is the amount of money you can afford to lose (ideally less than 1% of your net worth), deploy it at market and at once and forget about it for 7 to 10 years. I have been giving this advice for 6 years and, by watching what people do with this advice, I can tell you that “Forget about it for 7 to 10 years” is the most difficult part of the simple recipe I am proposing. This lack of discipline destroys a lot more value than you would anticipate. The price volatility rattles people and makes them trade.'

                This is my approach, stuck £10K into Crypto, might stick in another 5K very soon. I have a 99% confidence it will be worth feck all, but 1% confidence it might make me a millionaire in 5-10 years time.

                  Wait until we have a pull back from the recent run before adding more. 30-40% at best of a pullback.

                      I'm excited about this one as a I was when I first learnt about XRP. What Ripple is trying to do to SWIFT in Banking, Dent is doing to mobile data amongst telephone companies but on a global scale.

                      Ticks the first boxes. Does the idea need blockchain? Yes. Is it a global solution to a global problem? Yes.

                      After a little research I decided to put a five figured sum on this one. What a call! 115% in 15 days!!
