I'm not telling anyone to do anything. I do enjoy following technology developments and investing in them, taking opportunities where they may occur. However those are by no means instructions. Always do your own research.

I didn't say 'tell' or 'instruct' ... I said 'convince'. Every other post from you is about Bitcoin and how wonderful it is .... this is you trying to convince us (or justify to yourself) how good bitcoin is. You are so blinkered that you only see the good in bitcoin, and don't see the negatives/risks or why others are just not interested.

You have a bitcoin thread. You constantly bring it up on the stock market thread. This is a thread on Hong Kong and you bring up bitcoin. I'm sure I could look at every thread you post to and see that you're constantly talking about bitcoin ... and only bitcoin.

I'm actually a little surprised the mods don't see this as spamming

So you're trying desperately to convince us all to jump into bitcoin, whilst at the same time gambling on it dropping?

All markets take 2 steps forward, 1 back. And we're in the latter at this moment in time. You don't have a problem with skimping now do yah?

I would argue quite the opposite, EU is the most open so far, fighting for free movement, free healthcare. Not so prosperous, but depends how you look at it.
What has been proven though is that US capitalist system, and partially UK ideology has cracks that won't survive the new post pandemic world.
They'll print money and continue to keep the status quo but it is inevitable that things will change radically. Unless we have a major event, like a war that would shift what people think.
It's quite obvious to be honest.
Will see what the elites decide... I guess. I'd be on guard.



Does it matter what they actually get? If they feel they might get a fresh start and something exciting ...
Are people coming on tier 1 visa treated any different? But still flocking for 40k/y with extortionate feels and plenty of hoops.
It's a very good chance that they are part of "the plan" and not just a diversion. That's what I am saying.

Are you for real?

[scooterscot]

So why are you shorting it then?

This is when Bitcoin goes to the moon.

In Nazi Germany Jews had their assets plundered from them as they left the country before the conflict, gold taken, anything of value.

You're like a broken record mate. Give it up. We all know you're desperate for bitcoin to go mainstream - you've literally bet your life savings on it - but you're not going to convince many people on here to join your ponzi scheme.

This is why it was easy for BoJo/Cummings to suggest this policy. We will let them in ... come along people ... problem is China won't let them leave the island (and if they do manage to escape they will have all their assets stripped).

Some well connected people will make the move, maybe a few thousand, but the majority will not have the opportunity.

“ China may block Hongkongers from moving to UK, admits Dominic Raab

Foreign secretary says Britain can do little to ‘coercively force’ China to let citizens leave”

What plan?

Oh... there is definitely a plan. We are too far into civilisation for things to just happen randomly.
It might be that it's so elaborate and so against the "common judgement" that people struggle to figure it out.
And that is what makes it so good. But there is definitely a plan there.

You want them to flee one oppressive regime for another? That's not very nice...

Who is going to be desperate? China is playing long game - activists will be put in jail or let run away, majority won't be touched and ultimately will be boiled slowly over next 20 years until they accept that they got sold out.

Also note - they are not getting British passports, only a "path" - they'll have to spend 5 years in the UK, pay all sort of crazy fees, then 1 more year to qualify for citizenship, which I guarantee you only handful will get even if 3 mln will decide to move in tomorrow.

But do not under-estimate desperate people.

HK residents who’ll decide to flee would be much better off claiming asylum in EU, especially if they are sick.

And what if (or when) China actually prods all 3 mln to take up on offer - a nice leverage against any UK Prime Minister, thanks to Boris.
