Type in Google: 'Bitcoin is used ' and the results show why it isn't trusted. Some years ago I set it up on a system with 160 processors and 10TB memory for a laugh (I was testing out Blockchain) until I was told that the test systems weren't actually to be used for that...

What exactly is the point of this thread Scooter?
Was it for a larf? If so you underestimate people's gullibility - I can believe the information I've received that people have lost money following the cryptocurrency thread, but you cannot overestimate people's stupidity and greed in these matters.
So what to do with this thread? A question that I am pondering at the moment..."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

You do with the thread as you please - you've already made up your mind. It is startling how censoring the most benign of topics is deemed not worthy of the internet. Roll on decentralised internet...Last edited by scooterscot; 4 May 2020, 09:36."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

I know folks that have lost money following the AMD thread.. point is people are losing money all the time because of financial illiteracy & emotion, you can't blame others for your mistakes.
The cryptocurrency thread is intended to be about the wonderful technology that is blockchain, not about price speculation, even if that pops up time and again by myself or others, which is fun. Blockchain tech will transform the internet and IT services throughout the next 10 years, we're about to enter an entrepreneur boom over the next ten years."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

It is a highly volatile asset class and you don't expose yourself with more than you can afford to lose. Remarkable folks have lost money since the lows of 2017, all you need to do is hold. 98% of investors will fail at this first hurdle.

Come on, you basically said "I've put my whole pension into Crypto speculation, you cannot lose, it's going to the moon!"Comment

Bitcoin has fluctuated for years and has been the subject of conspiracy theories about whose interests it serves and all sorts. Cryptocurrency is a nice idea in principle but with the likes of the Mt Gox fiasco and it being associated with the dark web and criminal activity, people are reluctant to embrace it too much.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
