I am saying that the UK Supreme Court is all powerful until somebody in Europe disagrees with them, then they are subordinate.

I had better join the line on the left then :rofl:

Probably my favourite python film although to be fair I wasn’t their greatest fan.

‘$’ will be the new symbol for Bitcoin…

Or another way of looking at it is … they expect to win

You mean … all my replies are in vain?

Tell him to STFU!..

He is basically insignificant.

I am missing something here ?? Not sure of the meaning of your statement :thinking:

We use to get stoned and watch them on public tv in the 70s and they where hillarious.
I heard Elvis use to rent out a movie theatre and watch them with friends.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a classic.

Yes. :joy:

Edit: I have a problem with people who simply throw in incendiary comments to agitate. I don’t have an issue with a leftie opinion, so long as it is supported by facts and logic. I know that is also near on impossible. :joy:

Nooooo! Alex, bad jokes don’t suit you! :laughing:

It was a quip concerning how the Chinese would end-up with all the Bitcoins and the US currency would become worthless; but who knows …

Got it. I keep trying to convince myself that I am missing something with bitcoin. It has less real value than any fiat currency that is produced and backed by a government. I appreciate that printed money also has no actual value except face value or the promise value of the note/coin.
However, with bitcoin some individual not backed by a government, decided to make up a name “Bitcoin” hide a load of number/letter sequences (bitcoins) somewhere in the ether of the internet and pretend to those people who found these sequences (bitcoins) that they had something of value. The individual then created the illusion that the numbers/letters were getting rare, as there were fewer left to find so caused a panic ( a la the gold rushes of the past ). The final step was they got their number/letter sequences (bitcoins) recognised on various exchanges so now they have been given an exchange value in a known fiat currency. The world has seriously gone f*cking mad.
My children used to search for pretend coins on their phones years ago and of course they were “pretend” items so had no actual value. Cryptocurrencies are exactly the same except society has been conned to believe that crypto’s are worth something.
It’s a mad mad mad mad mad mad world…

Just found this on Katie H’s twitter feed:

How poignant but the question is how to get every young person in the world to consider this before they are brainwashed by a different dogma !

I saw something the other day that was accepting payment in Bitcoin !

As for money … it has value only as long as someone is prepared to swap you a burger and fries for a piece of paper (or plastic if you’re in the UK).

I think the fiat currency has the value people trust (it to have).
In the past, there were bank runs when people lost such trust.

The Zimbabwe money has no value outside the country but it can buy something within Zimbabwe.

When I was in East Germany, I was forced to buy East German Mark at 1:1 as West German Mark, but it was a fraud because East German Mark had no value.

Gold price, on the other hand, is determined by six persons in London daily. Did you know that?

No I didn’t know about the six people determining the gold price. I have just googled it and understand a little better.

I had always assumed it was determined by the price the market was prepared to pay or the price was determined by the release of the commodity onto the market as it is with oil and diamonds.

Ya learn something everyday :+1:
