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

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.

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.

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.
