The difference with Mr. Mcafee is that he knows he's inherently ridiculous and shameless and plays it up. He's the absolute opposite of Craigy in that respect. Perhaps it's all performance art. We'll find out at some point.

When he finally gets his comeuppance? I'm fascinated with people as self deluded as that. I've come across a few and genuinely don't understand how they can talk themselves into the positions they wind up in. Where does the self awareness go?

At some point all of the bluster will come to a head and it'll be wonderful to witness. Then he'll be yet another forgotten footnote.

Well, she did buy one thing. She bought a holiday caravan which is big static temporary home clustered around other ones on someone else's land.

In the UK you're forced to buy the caravan from the park it's placed on. You have to buy electricity and water through them. You're forced to replace the caravan every ten years no matter how good the condition is, and of course you can only buy a new caravan from the park.

If you attempt to sell it they can refuse to accept the sale and pay you 10% of what you paid for it. You also have to pay £3-4000 a year for the honour of being on their land.

I think poverty awaits her. Some people are born for financial doom.

I won't get out of bed for anything less.

Everyone understands their bills going up. What I find very strange is that you hardly ever hear people questioning why or how.

A mate of a relative inherited £250,000 a few years ago. She felt too unsure about investing it so it has literally been sitting in her current account ever since. Just a 1/10th of it in a decent fund would've easily saved it from inflation and made some profit too. I'm pretty certain it's going to sit there until it buys no more than a long weekend in Morocco.

I'm aiming to get Craig Wright under there. He'll probably need a job soon and there's a lot of fungus I can smell but can't reach or see.

I wonder whether there'll ever be a time where the idea of keeping your money in dollars is as whacky the idea of doing it in BTC is now. It might be a bit of a messy world if it ever happens.

It's weird the amount of people who only save in fiat. Right now there's a universe of options to attempt to protect your buying power. Very few seem to pursue it.

I can pull that off with my flap apron belly. I can hold a sketch pad under there too.

If I value 1 BTC at one hand job, but you value it at ten, how do we settle it?

You can hate dollars all you want. You need some way of measuring buying power, which is the point of any cash, and the dollar is the most convenient way of doing that.

Many traders will be playing it against dollars to gain more BTC. And ultimately I don't care what anyone else does with it. That's their business.

It's quite possible that was him shopping for old wallets on here and on Reddit a few weeks back.

I hope the court knows enough to want private keys as well. It would be a bit galling if he handed over some whale's address and they said 'fantastic'.

Occasionally it pops up in their Github - https://github.com/mycelium-com/wallet-android/issues

I've probably used it for about 4-5 years now. I've only ever had a server issue once. I don't have one at present either.

My GBP Coinbase card supposedly arrives this week. The app is still useless. it took 15 or so attempts to order the card. Now it wants my phone number but does nothing but flicker at me and eats what I type in. They better buck up.

Keep going.

We need to give every google translate fuckhead here a nosebleed and maybe they'll sign up for language classes.

Says there they do unverified. The limits will be very, very low and I'm sure they'll try to spring KYC on you. If I remember rightly the EU have a 250 Euro lifetime limit on anon prepaid cards now.

I've never attempted to use the website only. The app's pretty bad for sending you to the website through it and then getting confused and giving up.

An open pastry case with a sweet filling.

Or a slaaaag depending on the company you keep. You can of course give a tart to a tart.

It won't happen, if ever, for a long, long, long time.

Some people think they're being nasty by not approving one. Why would they approve anything with the slightest risk of not being able to do the job they're tasked with? The power they have to create them only exists alongside the ability to police them. If they can't do that, they won't rubber stamp it.

Exchanges in general are getting less cowboyish, but they're in more and more countries.

I expect by the time an ETF ever is approved it will have been long superseded by a bunch of other products that will have routed around the restrictions they throw up.

I would be very interested to know how many people came from MMM, which at one point was dominating Bitcoin buying volumes in certain countries, and stuck around if they had a penny left after it. I also wonder how many people bought BTC intending to throw it into MMM and then clued up before parting with it and became real Bitcoiners. There must be quite a few.

It may well be fine, but the same problems come up time and again and it's always bank transfers. It's worth a test at least and of course you never hear from the people who don't have problems so it might be totally overblown. All the same support does not sound great but virtually nowhere else is any better.

Anyway, unless you get the boot Coinbase is all anyone needs in the UK. I'd prefer Gemini if they had UK banking and it sounds like they might be working on it.

I would say overall he's talking more about how its users are choosing to treat it today rather than the baseline technology. He's a value investor and someone taking an unemotional look at it will see speculation and little else.

When you look at it from that angle I'd say overall he's correct about it in its present position in the minds of many.

No doubt it's going to change the world. While it's figuring that out a lot of people are going to get raped.

It's totally possible. No idea how likely it is.

I think it's largely going to depend on whether the on ramps up their game. If there is a better and bigger selection of avenues, the real biggie being a significant legacy trading platform, then that type of price level is not pie in the sky.

If we're stuck with the same old creaking exchanges and futures continue to grow then it's a different matter.
