Bitcoin

To Bitcoin or not to Bitcoin that is the question.
If I have any money at all to put into Bitcoin...will it raise money rather than lose money on average.  I am not expecting to coin the market, but I don't want to lose money or is it all a gamble.

I will advice you to be careful of this bitcoin market now, you have to study the market very well before venturing into it.

I have read that Martin Lewis sued Facebook for wrongfully using him to endorse bitcoin products on their platform. I just registered now to let people know that adds with Martin Lewis on Facebook are endorsing products again.

If you see these ads on Facebook, report them to Facebook and they should remove them. But it's like playing whack-a-mole sadly, they keep popping up all the time.

It's one of the highest risk 'investments' out there, so if you don't want risk losing money, don't touch it.

A year ago today 1 bitcoin was worth £44K.   It is now worth £17K.  Is this the sort of fall you are prepared to accept?

This thread is from 5 months ago.  In that time the value of bitcoin has dropped substantially so I hope the OP didn't take the gamble.  They have not posted since, so I suspect we'll never know.

To Bitcoin, or not to Bitcoin: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the bank to suffer
The slings and arrows of a lost fortune
Or to take a position against a sea of Roubles,
And by opposing win them?

To buy, to sell;
To sell: perchance to pay CG tax ay, there’s the rub;


To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? 

To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;

He didn't sue them for using his image, he sued them for allowing / not dealing with scam adverts that had his face on. They settled in 2019 after FB agreed to pay £3m to Citizens Advice, cover their legal costs and add a reporting tool to Facebook. If you see scam ads, report them and maybe ping him on Twitter
