Glad he is being my guinea pig. lol. I’ll be moving it out into Barclays over a number of days as I have an intermediary account at Kraken with a max daily withdrawal of $100,000. I’ve already initiated the first £76,921 transfer. Still no sign of it in my bank. Edited February 19, 2021 by MonsieurCopperCrutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also posted in the last 24hr mocking gas guzzlers, so yes I complain At least @longgone isn't busting into every thread demanding we all buy EarthDeathCoins and insinuating anyone who doesn't want to (Does Free Will Still Exist: Bitcoiners Hope Not) is a pathetic idiot. Do you get how insulting that is? You've asked me to be honest so here I am being honest. Having Bitcoin, a useless product that inspires an insane level of obsession in every one of its converts, rammed down my throat on every second thread here is gnawing my bagpipes. I'm very happy you're all going to be millionaires, mazel tov, good luck! But it's a product that is inherently bad for the entire world on a grand scale and I'm yet to see a single one of the prophets of BTC simply admit you do not give a * about any of that as long as it make you rich. Your turn to be honest. Well, similar to how you don't like bitcoin ramping on other threads (which I don't think I am guilty of), there are the same arguments against bitcoin in this thread on almost every one of its 800 pages, so apologies for the 'salty nocoiner' but it comes from frustration over that. You think bitcoin is superfluous - many here don't. You could say the £ is superfluous and we could use dollars, or fiat is superfluous and we could use gold, or go back to a barter system. Global finance and the economy requires a digital money, and bitcoin is far superior to existing government controlled inflationary ones. The energy use of bitcoin serves a critical purpose, to secure the network and avoid the blockchain history being rewritten. The amount of energy used is also not prescribed - it doesn't have to keep rising and rising. It's down to individuals choosing to become miners. The network would work perfectly well with one single miner on a home computer (but wouldn't be at all secure). The individuals that choose to mine are paying for their energy - its a market. The energy needs to be priced according to where its sourced and how bad it is for the planet. Energy use itself isn't inherently bad - we need to move more and more to energy sources aren't bad for the planet. Anyway, if we start from a position where you believe bitcoin is superfluous and valueless, and I start from a position where its a long overdue superior form of money, we're never going to agree on whether its energy consumption is a waste or is useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btd1981 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Received a message from bank today telling me that the interest rate on my cash ISA is reducing to ***0.09%*** What an utter extraction of urine. Temptation to just dump it all in crypto is pretty high but this recent rocket launch feels a bit unsustainable.

I assumed there was a good chance of Bitcoin going to zero (there still is!) so I only invested what I could afford to lose on a gamble. Hasn't done me badly at all!

jiltedjen Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) £15 a coin seemed expensive to me at the time. Wish I backed the truck up at that price now! I'm guessing maybe $85,000 top this time, but could take a few more months yet. anyone else feel constantly stressed about their massive BTC bag? I have to admit my massive balls of steel are starting to feel a bit heavy! everyone has a price, but it would pain me for bitcoin to just be translated into paying the mortgage off, that would still put me behind the average boomer of my age when they were my age. sort of feel it should suck value away from houses also and we are not there yet Edited February 19, 2021 by jiltedjen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
