Of course. It's a discussion forum. Why on earth would you read anyone else's comments?

Fully supportive of that. I don't think anyone should over-focus on Bitcoin (and certainly not crypto) - far from it.I am worried that certain lovely savers I know in person that have been overfocusing on crypto (to my view!) might lose key money for them...
Thank you @tecate ...Fully supportive of that. I don't think anyone should over-focus on Bitcoin (and certainly not crypto) - far from it.
Boss a Google search gives the following list of uses and that doesn't even count speculation or an even better use being a "great topic for online discussion"Hi tecate
What else is it?

This comment made my dayI prefer ethical investing...
Strange how the SEC appoved multiple Ponzi ETF's isn't it?To answer the question, yes Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme. So I'm glad one of us had a winning bet on "I Am Maximus" on Saturday. We know what gambling is.
How many years ago was it that you posted your "Bitcoin is a clearly identifiable bubble" thread Brendan?Or use it for blackmail and extortion which is the only real use it has as far as I can see where it has an advantage over other forms of payment.

Do you think that at my age I'd trust any state body or otherwise to override my natural instinct on Bitcoin.Strange how the SEC appoved multiple Ponzi ETF's isn't it?
I don't know your age and I don't know you.Do you think that at my age I'd trust any state body or otherwise to override my natural instinct on Bitcoin.
Complete nonsense you're coming out with Brendan. Firstly, in any given year, fiat currencies ARE collapsing. Secondly, they don't have to collapse entirely to spirit away a portion of what you've earned.I watched the full minute and he did not refer to any use other than speculation. OK, a hedge against the fiat currencies collapsing, but that is the same thing.
That is hilarious. Something I've never heard ever before.I don't know your age and I don't know you.
If you think bitcoin is a ponzi that's fine, it's just a shame that over the last year or two you've missed the opportunity of a lifetime.
I'm not exactly sure what's hilarious about making buckets of money.That is hilarious. Something I've never heard ever before.
you've missed the opportunity of a lifetime.
Like I missed trackers, the sure thing in the 5:10 in Leopardstown, the guaranteed Eircome shares, the solid as a rock blue chip AIB and BofI shares.
But let me ask you this Jigsaw: Are you a very well off person?
Like you I genuinely wanted to know what these new "use" cases were and expected to hear of some big legal breakthroughs in the use of smart contracts or whatever. Instead we get a clip reminding us that bitcoin is "non-sovereign, hard cap supply, global, immutable, decentralised, digital store of value". Go figure.I watched the full minute and he did not refer to any use other than speculation. OK, a hedge against the fiat currencies collapsing, but that is the same thing.
It has no practical everyday use other than its use by criminals.
