Tyler Durden Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I had an encounter with cryptosporidium a few months ago, was pooing through the eye of a needle for a week. GboroRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Had a dabble about four years ago. Put about £500 in Bitcoin, Etherium and Litecoin. Think i got about £140 back. Was an absolute farce getting money back out from coinbase. Banks weren’t accepting transfers etc. Was a learning experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cstand Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Never done it myself thought about it but it’s unregulated and if you lose your wallet or forget your password for oldies like me it’s game over. Also cannot be placed in an ISA so you have to pay capital gains tax. Currently invested in shocks and scares currently own Argoblockchain, KR1 that’s enough for me for now.

I’m not doing it for short term wins IMO I think digital currencies will happen in one form or another … we’re already halfway there with people have their regular bank cards digitally stored on their mobile phones I’m cautious with all the alt coins as they tend to come and go but I firmly believe because of the protocol, Finite amount and traceability of Bitcoin it’s a sound investment for the long term look at its long term progress yes it’s gone up and down, down and up but over time as less and less is able to be mined and we get closer to that finite total it’s price IMO will continue to grow That all said I’m only investing what I can afford to lose Bob The Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally wouldn't touch bitcoin with a 10ft pole simply because of the energy consumption it requires to create which makes it the opposite of sustainable or long term from what I can see.

Maestro Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited June 9, 2021 by Maestro Bob The Badger and NottsRam77 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksRam Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 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.

NottsRam77 Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 Two words why I believe in Bitcoin not all crypto but Bitcoin I do quantitive easing It’s a store of value that intrinsically tied to the way the world is right now and like other physical assets is a solid store of value on a world where we will see more money be printed and the values of sad money decreased quicker than seen for a long time … due to COVID and the fall out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
