The Crypto coin thread

[Rich Rule]

Hey Rob.

 

a Dog e coin is for life not just for Christmas, you know?

What I can't work out seeing the reactions on here is that folks seem to be placing themselves in a lose loses situation in their opinions and thoughts.

 

If Bitcoin and the like explodes upwards, keeps going and makes fortunes - it'll be unfair because that'll be taking food out of you and your families mouths.

 

If Bitcoin and the like crashes and burns never to be heard of again - the best you can do is say 'told you so'.

Many years ago, dodgy traders set up auctions in local village halls, basically they had some good gear and lots of shyte cheap crap. They had skilled sales guys building up a bit of fervour initially knocking out a small quantity of colour TVs at £20, music centres at £15 and a few other absolute bargains at silly prices and at that stage, people were desperate to buy ANYTHING, they knocked out the shyte and made a packet - my old man bought a Christmas tree that looked like a bog brush!

 

I think a lot of this Crypto currency is a bit like that. I think if you took your kids left over Christmas chocolate coins down the pub, declared they were Bitcoin, some ijut would buy them for silly money. 

 

I have no doubt that you can make money at this game but now it is mainstream, the smart money has been made and now anything can happen. Got to say, I am watching prices now with interest but personally I am not in on this one!

Everyone is different and have different views on investing money. From what I have seen, up to now it has been equity, bricks and mortar or cash being the mainstream investments.

This Bitcoin thing is good until the market becomes saturated and prices top off or investors get the willies and pull out (so to speak). I have no idea when that will happen and am sure there is money to be made but guess it doesn't suit everybody.

Well said Rich...

 

Although could be amended to a Dog e coin is for life or until it reaches $1.00 then you sell the lot and emigrate to Barbados

Yep fair enough Spud - like virtually everything in life it is not for everyone. I reckon just keep an open mind to it all... that's all. No need to have strong opinions on this that and everything else.

 

Me personally deep down I think we have not even started yet... this is the start. This sphere is beyond what has ever happened before. It will usher in new technology that could not even have been dreamed about.

 

It's not all about the money - but money always comes in handy! What are my reasons for bleating on about it? Same as they were in the original post...

Yep we are all entitled to our own opinion simple is that... I still struggle a bit (ok I lie I struggle a lot!) with why everyone just keeps looking at the money involved with crypto currency... the money is the smallest part of it!! The money is a minor side effect of it... it is the tip of the tip of the iceberg.

 

Imagine crypto currency as a rocket. This rocket is going to the moon. Bitcoin was that first big booster/fuel cell that comes off the rocket and falls back to earth as the rocket comes out of the atmosphere. It was and still is a fundamental necessary thing but in the end it will fall back to earth as it is no longer needed.

 

Hence no need to stay too focused on Bitcoin. It is needed for now but I suspect in the future (but this is still a year or so away) it will be available to see as a small glass exhibit at a museum!

OK Rich how about some Dogecoin for this year? Free to a good home - x200 of the little beauties!

 

Download this wallet (make sure is this one as the others can be harder to set up) - find the receive bit, take a pic and post up here.

 

Same for anyone else on here x200 Dogecoin which I reckon will be worth $200 end of this year, it could be more! And if it burns out it cost you nowt! - stick the scan picture thing up on here and I'll send you some. Just as a wee experiment.

Limited time offer, terms and conditions apply, myself as the sender will not be held responsible for the loss, damage or otherwise degradation of this Dogecoin or other implied monetary .. blah blah blah

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

Apologies on this one   only the first sentence on my post was for you - the rest for everyone else. Now I read it back it makes me look like a right patronising so and so which I know I am - but I just didn't mean to be on this occasion
