    Time in the market beats trying to time the market, every time. So many studies on this, I don't understand these "having a punt on this one share" mentality. If you are going to punt £10K, buy some crypto, because although you might lose £10K, you might make £1M in under a year. Buying some tulipty single stock is likely to end badly.
    80% of my shares are long-term holds. Punts are pocket money. Crypto is for backwoods conspiracy theorists and low-density zoomers. There is zero underlying value; it is merely a consensual hallucination. HTH.

        *instantly convert it to £,$,EU etc

        it's all b@lloks
        You can exchange almost any listed crypto on an exchange to BTC or ETH

        You then sell the BTC or ETH on any exchange such as Coinbase to ££££ or $$$$ or €€€€€€€

        Quite simple and take about 30 mins end to end.

          The odds don't stack up. Crypto is a cert.

              Even if you accrue a million cryptotwaddles and convert them back to "fiat", you can't spend the gains on anything serious because they're rightly viewed as a scam and no intermediary that needs to care about money laundering will go anywhere near you.

                I will let you know how I get on later this year and early next year when I cash it in. Keep up the FUD, it keeps the prices low for now so I can load up at on sale prices.

                      Over the course of the last few months, some crypto-mining gangs have switched their modus operandi from attacking and hijacking unpatched servers to abusing the free tiers of cloud computing platforms. Gangs have been operating by registering accounts on selected platforms, signing up for a free tier, and running a cryptocurrency mining app on the provider's free tier infrastructure. After trial periods or free credits reach their limits, the groups register a new account and start from the first step, keeping the provider's servers at their upper usage limit and slowing down their normal operations...

                      The list of services that have been abused this way includes the likes of GitHub, GitLab, Microsoft Azure, TravisCI, LayerCI, CircleCI, Render, CloudBees CodeShip, Sourcehut, and Okteto”
