    Because they have a massive building on Threadneedle street, and 400 years history of conjoring money out of thin air and honouring their promises to pay the bearer. What they say is important, and gets top billing on the news. You're pissing in the wind if you think this tulip is going to take over. Now you might well make a boat load of money (proper fiat currency) out of betting on the right horse, that's a different matter. Good luck with it.

      This "tulip" is more useful in the developing world were people rely on mobile phones to do banking transactions, their currency has hyperinflation and not everyone has access to a bank account.

        Nah, they have gold, dollars and camels.

        On that subject, I remember an HSBC person telling me in Y2K that they had fully functioning mobile branches on big canoes to reach the inaccessible Amazonian tribal areas. Similar thing with Bank of Scotland too IIRC.

          Mobile banking allows women to save money without their husbands knowledge and vice versa.

                You weren't supposed to answer me.

                Now your post will be quoted in family court.

                    This thread is a hoot - doubters and then some. Today the free money was almost £20 if you sold it yesterday.

                    Might do another one...
