So tulipcoin is now going to drive up hard drive prices? Starting to think there's some kind of collusion between component manufacturers and "inventors" of new "currencies"

This would have never happened under Labour!

Crypto won, get over it.

Iran is going to be bringing “miners” to Iranian flavour of justice - chances are “miners” won’t be hanging for long there now

Just think, if AtW had used all his servers to do something useful like crypto-mining he'd be far richer than his actual business ever achieved.

What's the point of doing that only to find out that sasguru is still richer than me?

If you'd bought into BTC back then, you'd be richer than all of us put together.

All of yours - but not sasguru

“Star investor Cathie Wood has a message of reassurance for Bitcoin investors amid the din of ever harsher regulatory rhetoric: officials won’t be able to make the largest cryptocurrency go away.

Tough talk against digital tokens from China and calls for greater scrutiny in Europe and the U.S. have contributed to a slump in Bitcoin, but Wood said the virtual currency is “already on its way and it’ll be impossible to shut it down.”

Yeah, but officials can lock you up, Cathie, and instead of propping this fraud you’d be doing whatever work is allowed in prisons.

With great respect to you guys, but by the sounds of it you do not understand how blockchain/crypto works.... You guys seem to miss the point, massively! Blockchain and crypto is revolutionary! Speculation is one, but use is another!

A bubble won't last longer than 12 months... BTC was introduced in 2008 and it's still here, wake up!

I saw that story and did have a chuckle - I was brought up (some would say dragged up) in Great Bridge (I went to Great Bridge junior and infant school) - know the area well - like the cops, I'm surprised it wasn't a cannabis factory

And before anyone call bultulip, this is me in the school footy team, aged 10 (I'm front row, far left as you look)
