treer 298 Report post Posted 1 September 2019 Could be this is bitcoin year, a of things lining up in favour for a hike. Prospects of a recession, halving of mining reward, bitcoin etf settled in bitcoin instead of dollars, and big banking getting involved. Could be the last chance to buy in at low price Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LCFC FOX 1,212 Report post Posted 1 September 2019 How do you actually buy them? I have a mate who’s into crypto currency and he says there’s lots of money to be made in it if you invest now. I just find it way too confusing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kopic 657 Report post Posted 1 September 2019 There is money to be made if you are willing to take the risk, problem with bitcoin and all the publicity it has generated has lead to people buying worthless coins and losing a lot of money. Having said that I bought a shitload of Ripple (xrp) when it was less than a penny and sold half when it hit $3 so I've done alright. The half I kept isn't going great though.

treer 298 Report post Posted 2 September 2019 (edited) In the early days. there were what were called bitcoin faucets. They were loaded with bitcoin by early devotees of bitcoin, and anyone could just visit a faucet page, and receive up to 5 bitcoins completely free. Stories of people amassing large amounts of bitcoin this way. Of course in those days their worth was small, and there is one story of a person feeling a bit peckish, and buying a pizza from Papa Johns for 10,000 bitcoin!!!!

SystonFox 2,315 Report post Posted 2 September 2019 I was driving through belgrave last week and I’m fairly sure I saw a small corner shop that either said “bitcoin exchanged here” or “bitcoin accepted here”. Now I don’t know if it was sarcasm or no but the last time I went in the shop I popped in during a 20 mile run desperate to hydrate and purchased a 59p bottle of fake Powerade. I fail to see them accepting bitcoin as payment Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
