Do we need a sub forum for Crypto as well?
Somewhere for all the clever people who don't understand it to make themselves feel better about sitting on the sidelines watching it go up while they think it's too late to get in."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like?

Due to the speculative nature of the recent upsurge, that shows no end and hence no one can be sure what will happen in the coming days let alone weeks or months, hopefully it's too risky for institutional investors to dare play with fire.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

I can see next year the outcome will be some global bitcoin regulations, no anonymity on the bitcoin blockchain, exchanges having to pass on all customer details to tax enforcement every year, having to prove where any fiat money has come from before allowing purchases. The USA giving people 40 years in prison for not filling in the 50 page form on every transaction.
They will crawl all over crypto like a swarm of angry feds..they want this thing dead and buried.Last edited by _V_; 18 December 2017, 18:33.First Law of Contracting: Only the strong surviveComment
