Has your attitude to BTC been influenced by your local currency?

[gentlemand]

As a British person  it's fairly clear that GBP will continue spiralling down the limescaley toilet of doom for many years to come.

For reasons unknown my dear old dad keeps most of his money in GBP despite becoming a citizen of EU country. I no longer give a shit because most of my value is in crypto and is staying that way. I was unmoved by the exchange rate collapse after the Brexit vote and will continue to be fully insulated as we all slowly starve to death.

How many people here have paid attention and gotten into Bitcoin primarily because of the weakness of their local currency? Or the cumbersome restrictions placed on moving it?

I assume we have more than few South Americans here. Who else and what is your story?

Brexit's vote actually offered bitcoin quite a boost in its price. When global markets seem to be going down, it's only then that bitcoin's price seems to be having a correlation with real world events, but that seems to be an inverse correlation. In my case, the Euro has been almost too stable lately amid major FIAT currencies, I wouldn't take it into account too much in regards to my thoughts on bitcoin.
