    You guys really need to speculate smarter than this.

    Not a bad investment, put in under £2k you can now sell it for just under £200k.... so yeah...

    Would be nice to find out what the TaxMan would say. Don't you need to declare the profit? Yes you don't have the cash in hand but the profit should still be disclosed? I know in the US they are looking at this.

    If someone spend money that's already taxed... sorry you're confusing me more than normally. You're were saying something about brain cells the other day?

    I don't use exchanges, never will. I do all my trading with other individuals.

    My cloud service, https://tresorit.com are offering $50,000 to the first person who manages to hack user accounts. Why not give it a go?

    Keep all my wallets on a hard drive, yes it's true. They are only a few KB's in size. The wallets are backed up to the cloud whenever they change. Not rocket science.

    Can't be arsed investing 100£ and hoping for 1000. And wouldn't put 100k into it

    Oh they'll accept transfers as well.


    Transfer existing ISA balances over to us too...

    Those of you that have been building up your tax-free savings allowance over the years will be able to transfer all or part of those balances over to an Innovative Finance ISA with Zopa.

    You can split your historic ISA balances across different types of ISA (i.e. across cash, stocks and shares and innovative finance), and you can have multiple ISAs of each type for historic balances.

    The important thing to remember about transferring old ISA balances is that this must be done as a transfer directly between your old and new ISA provider – you cannot simply close your old ISA and move your money into another ISA, otherwise your money will no longer be eligible for tax-free interest.
