Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted September 11, 2018 Paid Members Posted September 11, 2018 Yeah, I'm one of those who will always pay in cash given the choice. I don't want Lloyds knowing just how much I spend per week on chippy teas and beer. Cash is king. Quote
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted September 11, 2018 Paid Members Posted September 11, 2018 I've even switched almost entirely to using my phone or my watch to pay for stuff on card or travel on the bus or tube. I still keep my card on me just in case, but Contactless is King in my book. Quote
David Posted May 21, 2019 Author Posted May 21, 2019 So, the US copyright office has officially granted registration rights to the Bitcoin whitepaper and code to Australian computer scientist Craig Wright, meaning he can somewhat credibly refer to himself as Satoshi Nakamoto. Absolutely bonkers to be honest, and to cap it all off the guy is somewhat of a grade A twat. Quote

Satoshi Nakamoto is the pseudonym used by the person, or persons, who developed Bitcoin in 2008/2009. In truly weird fashion he (or they) created and deployed bitcoin's original reference implementation then seemingly vanished into thin air. At one point, during Bitcoins heady days, he or they were considered to be the 44th richest person on the planet, worth $19.4 billion through the almost 1 million bitcoins they still have parked in an encrypted account. There was much discussion in the tech community about who they could be, and an Australian computer scientist called Craig Wright has claimed to be part of the group known as Satoshi Nakamoto, along with cryptographic pioneer Hal Finney, and computer forensics analyst David Kleiman. Both Finney and Kleiman have since passed on, so no one really knows if they were involved or not. Wright has been labelled a fraud and a cheat by many over the years, and he's now at the head of Bitcoin SV (Satoshi's Vision), which is an offshoot of Bitcoin claiming to adhere to the original protocols that were put in place by Satoshi Nakamoto and the infamous Bitcoin whitepaper. Well, today the US copyright office granted Wright official registration rights to the Bitcoin whitepaper and code, meaning that, in their eyes at least, he is Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin.

David Posted October 22, 2021 Author Posted October 22, 2021 Anyone still holding their crypto and riding the current wave? I don't really do enough to classify myself a trader or anything, but I'm currently sitting with a portfolio consisting of BTC, SOL, CELO, ETH and a few smaller coins/tokens. Currently up 74.27% in total this year, which is pretty good. Beats sticking my cash in the old TSB account! Quote

Joe Blog Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 I have nearly 3 million SAFEMOON coins that cost me 7 quid. I have low hopes. Quote
Keith Houchen Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 I found another quid in the back of the sofa so I’m taking that win. Quote

Just waiting till they go TO THE MOON Is that ever likely to happen though? My mate has started getting me into crypto. I've currently got small amounts of ETH and ADA (and some smaller tokens I gained through doing quizzes on Coinbase). My mate reckons the easiest way to make some money through it will be waiting for the price of BTC to drop right down and buy up ads much as I can. Anyone here agree? Quote
