Yeah well Chelsea buggered my soccer accumulater. They think they're so clever with their 98th minute dodgy penalty equalizers. Got to chase it somehow.

An app that can double your money? How could that possibly be a scam?

I'm not sure that long history of shady financial shenanigans, fantasyland economic libertarianism and contempt for anything related to the public sector is going to do them much good.
No I'm not going to say which one I'm talking about.

Money makes people a bit mad, doesnt it? There is no chance this guy is going to find the hard drive even if the council relents (very unlikely). He is just going to waste his money and time getting covered in stinky bin juice for nothing.

Or bankrupt a council and deprive thousands of people vital services

There's no chance he wins though is there. It's virtually FOTLer level of ridiculous litigation. You can't just arbitrarily demand a billion quid because you reckon it's not fair waah.

I think the council should just deliver the first truckload of landfill to his house and tell him to give them a bell when he's checked it and is ready for the next one.

Because the world hasn't yet run out of absolute dickheads who think this pyramid scheme will make them rich. Some will get rich, most won't.I see bitcoin is close to an all time high
Supposedly driven by banks according to an article on BBC. Why won’t it die…
I used to not give a shit about it or the people trying to get rich from it, but these days I find myself actively hoping that lots of people lose lots of money on it. They've been warned too often, and all the evidence is available to them to prove it's simply a massive pyramid scheme, so they only have themselves to blame when, not if, it goes tits up.

Isn't it possible that the "value" of bitcoin is being artificially pumped up due to most of it being hoarded? Therefore whenever it does trade it goes for ridiculous sums.
It definitely seems weird that it can be at an "all time high" when it's more irrelevant than ever.

Tend to disagree.
New cycle.
(Ligit crit of previous cycle though)
Bitcoin initial setup came out of 2008 print out debt...Picked up loads of other panacea solution to problem that didn't exist..but that one is coming back into focus...(agaian again.)..iChina..EUrozone...even the US every dollar gdp growth last quarter cost 2&1/2 bucks debt apparently...
Other issue that's come along is weaponisation of SWIFT...moved to a different tier of chancers

You see an investment scam and I see divinity
Bitcoin ETFs were approved in the US last month.
This means that institutions, pension funds, hedge funds etc can now legally buy exposure to bitcoin through an Exchange Traded Fund which must legally hold the Bitcoin backing it.
Again, I would really urge people to learn how to use Bitcoin, that knowledge is going to be increasingly important over the next decade.

Also approved in HK.
Think bitcoin is a bit like London Underground...it is the way it is because it was done first...other cities built theirs knowing what some mistakes were that they could avoid...
One of things it had looked like was BTC would outlawed in favour of CBDC's. With trade legitimised seems less likely. Though as CBDC comes down the line BTC will become more niche..
However
Nothing in life is perfect especially a money = debt system..Cryptos tethered to existencing monetary systems can only entrench the inadequacies and biases within that system..
BTC rationally, floats. Whether that's a good thing remains to be seen

They always say 10 years, because it seems like a sufficiently large enough number that everybody will have forgotten they said it by the time it doesn't happen, and if for some bizarre reason it does happen, they'll be the first to dig up their decade old post.

blah blah blah
My prediction was pretty good. There is all sorts of digital currency development, be it CBDC or the more usual scammy, hyped stuff. Bitcoin seems to be currently being incorporated by the clowns and chancers of the financial market as just another eldritch derivative.

The economic trade cycle shows how economic growth can fluctuate within different phases, for example: Boom (A period of high economic growth usually causing inflation) Peak (top of the trade cycle, where growth rates may start to fall) Economic downturn/recession (where the growth rate falls...
