    At current prices, a $100k BTC at the end of the year is a 14.45x increase in value. Assuming you get £450k for your pad in Scotland, that works out at £6.5M if you put it all in bitcoin. There's maintaining multiple income streams and maintaining multiple income streams.

    It's almost like you aren't 100% sure it's going to hit $100k......

    Sounds like newspeak to me.
    «Project Fear” for Brexiters is like “Fake News” for Trump -hard truth they don’t like

    This is shown by your equating an outcome that can be predicted in large part from causal effects with a completely random event.

    I am as sure that Brexit will make Britain poorer as I am sure that I can't predict the lottery.

    There we have it, the choice is economic meltdown or become a vassal state.

    As you are talking about the EU you mean vassal states.

The result was declared through the democratic process. The country made it decision and for better or worse ( and nobody knows what the answer is - better or worse) we now have to deal with it.

    However, our democratic process has worked against us during the negotiations. The EU came to the table with a single unified plan, we on the other hand were (and are) still disputing the referendum result and therefore were too busy fighting across political parties and within all political parties instead of presenting the same unified front back to the EU. We were and always have been on the back foot during these negotiations. We should have played the stuff it and walk out card much earlier when there was still time to come back to the table and talk.

    Without immigration the UK will fail pretty quickly, which is why if you stop EU immigration, non-EU immigration will simply shoot up.

    Brexit has only one effect, it will just make everyone poorer.

    Given the evidence so far do you think Brexit (I mean a real one, what some people call a "hard" one) will lead to a rise or fall in Sterling?
