We're getting nowhere fast with this anyway.
100 quid, BTC is closer to $100k than $10k by end of year. Loser pays winners charity..... happy to pay multiple boomer no coiners if I have to
Did anyone take the bet?

Did anyone take the bet?I didn't, largely because there's absolutely no telling what direction the price will move in from year to year. I don't think the current price is rational, but as the saying goes "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent". In other words, in the short term it can continue to perform amazingly well (the last couple of months notwithstanding), or it could drop to next to nothing. Either scenario is equally plausible (though by no means am I suggesting that this means equal probability or expectation, just that either could happen and not be a surprise).By the way, are you a judo fan?I am a Chartered Financial Planner

Nah did they F. I’m surprised I would have lost it actually although it did hit $69k not long after.thegentleway said:Scottex99 said:

I’m clearly bias and I’m just finishing The Bitcoin Standard (great info imo) but I was getting even more bullish as the price was dropping in recent weeks.
Central bank controlled fiat currencies are only going one way and BTC (and a few other good liquid stores of value) will pick up the pieces0 -
Yes I am 😁 although I do more BJJ now. You train as well?Aegis said:thegentleway said:Scottex99 said:

I started out in judo and moved to jujutsu, dabbling a little in eskrima and HEMA. Due to an illness, I can't currently train, but I hope to get back to it some day.thegentleway said:Yes I am 😁 although I do more BJJ now. You train as well?

So now nearly end if Jan and not a word about what's happing still says processing any info would be goodScottex99 said:Not shilling for the cash but by all means have a dabble if you like and definitely worth watching me awkwardly reading my lines in the video, haha.
FTX just closed a 900m investment yesterday too. Plenty of money around and a lot going in to crypto.

The email we just receive to ask us to fait for "legal document to be complete" seems fishy.
Been a long time in processing what happens next?? Looking forward to a response
Now that our payments have been processed, how do we see a valuation of our shares? And what's next in our journey?
Super quiet for a crypto company for the past 4 months since fund raising, feel like a rug is being pulled.

Bullish.
Could be what's behind the little recovery from the last 5 days..
Then Elon suddenly realised that mining uses electricity and dumped them (at profit) I think.
It’s cool though, we still have Saylor1 -
Haha, nice. Retail people with £100 invested are always the first to start complaining. (I have no idea how much he invested).mooneysaver said:

I shouldn't say too much on a public forum but legals are just about to be signed off and retail app is coming within 2 weeks. I was on a call with our CPO this morning actually.
What's also interesting is us going into the retail is just another vertical. Ofc we want it to work and and would love to have 1 million users but if we don't pull it off, it doesn't matter. I run the OTC desk where we trade 100m+ every month (min trade $25k), in fact yesterday I traded about $12m. If our standard fee is in the 0.5-1% range, then you can figure out our potential revenue easily enough1 -
