It's a technology obfuscated pyramid scheme. Crypto, generally not only Bitcoin.


Buying it to sell it on for more is what it's all about. Until the base of the pyramid gets too big and can't find someone to sell to. With social media and the covid stimlus the pyramid has had a huge and well funded base.


What else is the point of it?

As with any investment...whether that's property, equities, horse racing or crypto....if you don't really understand how it works....then you probably shouldn't be putting money into it.


Even 'experts' in each of those fields are doing well if they are right more than 50 percent of the time.....

    • Hi, I'm looking to find a recommendation for a good orthodontist who works with children. We live in East Dulwich, so someone local would be good. But also prepared to travel further afield or into the city if needs be. Stu  
    • Actually far better than I anticipated.  My usual viewings from the kitchen are of the feeders that for whatever reason appear less visited.  But upstairs, and doing it for the whole hour we spotted many more species, and with the help of the bird song app saw wrens, and probably a black cap.  We caught a brief view of a small flock of long tailed tits, and were pleased to see far more gold finches than we expected, so numbers not as decimated, following sub freezing nights a few weeks ago, as thought. No sparrow hawks, probably only see one a decade, and expect that they are more interested in wood pigeons than sparrars.
    • So we have been through millions of years of evolution just to be abusive to people?  Irrespective of your beliefs, and I am certainly a non-believer, I wouldn't be abusive.  Just ignore or if you are that bothered argue back. I pass preachers all the time ranting in Peckham.  I generally chuckle to myself but in the past have been happy to debate with JWs when they call, although they usually leave fairly quickly as they don't agree with my views, including bullying me as nine year old with tales of the end of the world. Sadly Christian fundamentalism from the times of the crusades, conquistadors and now Trump's America has so much to answer for.
