Haha! Just worked it out! You're that Kaiser Sosay or Satoshi Nakamoto right?

 

Now if you don't know Satishi Nakamoto or who he is - maybe have a wee Google (if this interests you) and look into things a little deeper than what the Daily Mail does

 

I take deep offence at been called a mail reader.

 

Now if you don't mind I'm sat hear stroking my pussy waiting for Bond.

Gambling on horses, or crypto currency is nothing but a sign of moral bankruptcy..  by engaging in both, you're promoting idleness and sloth as an alternative to hard work and industry...  

 

It doesn't have to be right or wrong - it is just a fact that the financial markets attract people looking to make money from asset re-pricing.

The same as a buy to let. I can't say I'm not jealous of those people who are intelligent enough to become high rollers. If people want to take monumental risks its up to them, personally I don't want to lose my home.

there are already solutions to the power issue. For example DMD coin uses proof of work (mining) but without the need for a mega farm. Your coins do the mining, can run it an a raspberry pi.

 

DMD is also the only coin that pays interest, 25% per annum.

Are we going to break the 13k barrier I think so they can’t mine it quick enough.

Had to chuckle yesterday when read the creator of a parody coin called dogecoin that he made to mock the bitcoin hype is now worth hundreds of millions can't work out why anyones buying his coin. It's not even been updated in 2 years  goes to show how ridiculous some people are with their 'investments'

Fair Play... and the people behind it keep it going for free.

The Sarcasm in naming the creator just like the people behind Bitcoin did is good as well.

Yep you're right who in their right mind would invest in such a thing... you would have to be beyond stupid... right?

(only history and perspective judges stupidity from brilliance....).

 

Luckily I only have $3k in that one so phew! (and no I'm not joking either!).

 

Why would I do that? Because so often it is these type of ventures that start as a joke or start as a mistake end up being some of the biggest ideas. They have a great friendly community behind Dogecoin, they have a forum and it is cheap and easy to use. I would expect this to increase in value x100 in 2018 (no am not joking about that neither!).

 

I got my missus some for Christmas - she hid her delight and surprise surprisingly well
