This thread is a hoot - doubters and then some. Today the free money was almost £20 if you sold it yesterday.

Might do another one...

Never checked if you sent me any after to that address...

This "tulip" is more useful in the developing world were people rely on mobile phones to do banking transactions, their currency has hyperinflation and not everyone has access to a bank account.

Valuable lessons to be learnt for Brexit Britain.

Should save me a few quid in the next divorce.

You weren't supposed to answer me.

Now your post will be quoted in family court.

Mobile banking allows women to save money without their husbands knowledge and vice versa.

Must get that tart Fergie signed up then. Top tip SE

Nah, they have gold, dollars and camels.

On that subject, I remember an HSBC person telling me in Y2K that they had fully functioning mobile branches on big canoes to reach the inaccessible Amazonian tribal areas. Similar thing with Bank of Scotland too IIRC.

Because they have a massive building on Threadneedle street, and 400 years history of conjoring money out of thin air and honouring their promises to pay the bearer. What they say is important, and gets top billing on the news. You're pissing in the wind if you think this tulip is going to take over. Now you might well make a boat load of money (proper fiat currency) out of betting on the right horse, that's a different matter. Good luck with it.

That because you don't understand blockchain technology. Trust is not a prerequisite. You trust the BOE when it conjures money out of thin air, why?

Bollocks. 99% of people aren't going to trust some tulip that's been conjured out of thin air by some faceless chunt in the ether. You might as well invest in Pip in a Poke. It's post count just keeps going up till one day Cojak pulls the plug and that's the end of that.

Besides blockchain tech is much more than just about money. Keeping ledgers public and distributed is massive. Golem being a fascinating example of distributed computing power. It'll put computing power centres out of business in a few years, mark my words.

Thought this was an IT forum?!

Fair point. I'm still calling 'Nerd' though.

What's happening 'out there' is the internet Mk II.

Blink and you'll miss it.

Hopefully correct.

All this reminds me of my time with oil explorers on AIM back in 2010.

What the fook happened here? Bunch of nerds.
