    How do you propose that might easily happen? ?

    Accept whatever EFL throws at us. We've clearly tried to be clever and it has been a never-ending cycle of the EFL trying to have our pants down. Football is played in the back rooms now, not on the pitch. Appeals galore in the Championship, all because of the allure of the Premier League. I'd much rather go to my local semi-pro team and support them than Derby at the moment.

    But anyway - the point is that as BTC gets nearer the 21m limit it takes more and more power to mine the coins and we end up with yet another system that favours the "already rich" who can afford the largest computing power, and craps on the little people who kinda mighta needed that electricity to heat their homes and cook their tea

    You've also got to take in to account that around 20% of all BTC have been lost of the years as well so the theoretical cap for BTC really would be around 16m that would circulate making the currency even more rarer.

    If you invest in cryptocurrencies how else would you define it? It's a sophisticated form of betting that should require more information than your more typical gambling (many people who 'bet' this way are typical 'gamblers' in the sense they don't see it as a gamble because they assume they won't lose) but it involves all the same elements. 

    I would go as far as to agree with your statement that it is a "sophisticated form of betting". You could probably say that about anything where money is speculated in a way to accumulate though. No one knows what will happen in the lottery, sports betting, stocks or Crypto.

    Your a star I’ll look into it 

    For that reason … getting harder to mine Eth Iv been doing the two I mentioned as vertcoin is specially aimed at gpu mining … and u can change what they pay u in… but your still mining vertcoin that’s gpu friendly 

    unmineable mines ethereum classic which apparently is easier to mine too… can even do it on your cpu although you’d be there a long long time 

    Where does your Vertcoin get paid in to? I've only got a Binance account at the moment but still need to set up Kucoin as a lot of altcoins that are tipped in a Telegram group I'm in is on there.

    Now dodgcoin is something I wouldn’t touch with a 10ft barge pole 

    total ponzi with no fundamental use case 

    Not sure how true it is, it's something I read on Reddit, but if everyone in the world had access to Dogecoin, in it's current state, a person would have to wait 6 years in order to process a single transaction due to how slow the underpinning technology and network is for Dogecoin. It was conceived as a memecoin and for some reason, people are bowing to the self proclaimed Crypto memelord Elon Musk in thinking it is the future. Idiots.

  6. I'm sure a lot of people have seen/heard horror stories of Crypto but one of my former colleagues was big in to BTC before it was relatively mainstream. He told me he sold his BTC to pay for a holiday and a brand new Ford Fiesta all in cash. Before the market equalised, the BTC he sold would have been worth £900k. That's one expensive Ford Fiesta...

    Yeah, for me it is all about disposable income - I can chuck the odd £50 here or there but aren't really in a position to potentially throw anything more at it. 

    That's pretty much what I have been doing. £50 each month if I know I am going to be able to afford and if it is looking bearish.

    I've got friends who will chuck a grand at Dogecoin when it was at a crazy low price and cashed out when it got to 60c per coin. Obviously I'm slightly envious of their ability to do that but I'm safe in knowing I am being responsible with my limits and know that I am getting more in my Crypto wallet than I would if it was in my savings account getting 0.01% gross interest per annum.

    We need to talk re the mining 

    desperately trying to get into this 

    Messed about with a program called unmineable and another called vertcoin miner 

    with some effect ish … although still waiting to hit the payment threshold 

    I’m guessing it’s cos I’m running On just a rx 570 4gb 

    unmineabke seems to keep dropping out for some reason

    Have seen things like meta mask etc etc 

    but any help or pointers for a fellow ram would be insanely appreciated 

    Desperate for some free (less electricity) crypto 

    You can use whattomine.com which will give you approximate MH/s for your graphics card. I have a 5700xt and the website was very accurate in calculating that I would get ~50MH/s which is what I ended up getting. From what I've seen, there are different mining programs that are graphics card dependent. Due to me having a 5700xt, I use a program called teamredminer which was surprisingly easy to set up. With Ethereum, your returns are dependent on how high gas fees are. For a couple of days I went from getting $5-6 per day to $15. Now that it is summer, I've calmed down on my mining seeing as my GPU was hitting +90c.

    From what I can tell, when ETH2.0 comes out, mining on a GPU will be pointless, and the same would be for Bitcoin too as the algorithms are getting harder to crack. There is transition now to mining on dedicated ASICs and tbh, if you had a spare $5-10k lying around, you can get an ASIC miner which is capable of between 84 and 110 TH/s.

    Love to hear of people's experiences here.  It's something I've thought of but know very little about.  Friend of mine recently tapped me up to suggest I dabble (low money investment).  He's invested in a couple, for example VETHOR - think he stuck £15 in and last time I checked with him he'd had a 3000% uplift.  He also stuck £1500 in another, I forget which and as of last month it was worth £16,500.

    Those figures alone make me tempted but those same figures could be worth zilch tomorrow so for me it'd be a case of set myself a profit threshold, hit it then cash out. 

    I've never had any kind of disposable income in my life until this year. I've probably put in around £400 so far and I'm about 50% up so far. This will probably be 200% by the end of the year and who knows at the end of the year after that. It's all about DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) and buying during the bear markets; as long as you are buying in dips, you're never going to lose out if you decide to sell later.

  10. Got into Crypto at the start of this year by buying some Ripple just before the dump. I've since grown my portfolio to Cardano, Ethereum, Binance coin, Bitcoin, Zilliqa and Ripple. It is pretty much my savings account this moment in time and was going amazingly during the bull run. Now we are in a bit of a bear market so things aren't going the way they were. I've also mined about $250 worth of Ethereum in a month which was a nice little pump for my holdings as well.

    Edit: missing a word.

    If Derby had a token like BAR would you not not have to buy Etherium first to purchase a Derby token? Also it would have to be stored in a secure wallet with a password which if ever lost the token would be lost for ever so could not be sold or transferred to a family member.?

    There's usually a fiat pairing you can use to buy tokens. I watched the AC Milan token go up 2000% on it's launch, absolutely gutted I missed out investing in it.
