We have a new partner in Coinjar, a cryptocurrency exchange.

We're clearly moving with the times. Well done MFC Commercial Team.

 

 

For some reason when I read the thread title I read it as 'Swear Jar' and thought @Demonland had implemented a new plan to recoup site costs....

    For all the crypto new comers this is quite a big deal. I dont know what a " partner" is but  coinjar is a big busines now. Pity they're not a sponsor.  For the doubters  crypto is 100% here to stay and  in bigger and bigger ways. For those still wondering you can hold USDT ( the crypto token for USD)  in certain staking accounts and earn anywhere from 8 - 12% PA. Name a bank offering that?   Coinjar is Australias largest crypto exchange, its a platform you can link your bank acct to and come in and out of AUD and Cryptocurrencies. Its both a bridge into crypto with dollars as well as a place to hold your crypto and exchange it between coins. A good get! But as I say pity they're not a sponsor as they're a big deal.

    I have a feeling the demographics of the MFC membership heavily favours those in the age group that wouldn’t know nor care what cryptocurrency is.

    Crypto offerings are  happening through traditional banks in the USA now. JP Morgan, Grey Scale Trust etc . Its also on the books in billion dollar ways of major corporations ie Micro strategy, Tesla and many others. No need to confine it to a a demographic...its coming soon to a town near you ;-)

    After reading the book about the Winklevoss twins I told my kids that a small part of a portfolio in bitcoin was sensible.

    At that time is was $15k and most thought it overvalued.

    Pity I never listened to my own advice and nor did the kids.

    short sighted comment DD. Do you have any idea how many people have huge sums of money in Crypto assets looking for a place to spend them? Its why so many retailers are trying to be crypto friendly now.

    it's no more dodgy than gold if you think about it

    the real problem with Bitcoin is that it is so volatile price wise it is not a great medium of exchange

  • Quote

    My computer geek around 2010 wanted me to invest $500 into a new fangled thing called Bitcoin like he was doing. They were selling for around 3 cents each then. I knocked back the offer because I was grinding out money playing poker which in the long run worked out to about $5 an hour. In hindsight Bitcoin were a good idea then but now too volatile to contemplate. Just a speculative asset.

    and its "success" is based on its volatility

    it appeals to the overnight millionaire and is essentially another form of pyramid investing

    Tell that to people from war torn countries where having gold was the only ticket to escape or avoid starvation.

    Hmmm. Why would big multinational, multi billion dollar companies , with CFO's on huge pay packets be bothering with a pyramid scheme? Theyre holding bitcoin as part of their cash reserves now.  Its true the dotcom bubble, which this is being likened to,  had a lot of fails...as will certain coins in the crypto space ( probably many) , but the dotcom bubble also left us with Amazon, microsoft, google, utube, Facebook, paypal etc etc etc etc. Dont be too quick to overlook the size of whats happening here.

    Cryptos are nonsense, but each to their own. They'll never supercede state money. Decentralising finance is even more dangerous than having two major parties who operate almost entirely on behalf of the elites. All you get with cryptos is the same thing happening. The elites manipulating their wealth port folios with the old pump and dump, and then virtue signalling about cryptos horrible ecological impacts.

    But a deal is a deal. I wonder how much money they're tipping in. I hope it's taxable AUDs. :P

    Oddly enough, many of the big Soccer clubs have their own crypto-currency.

    And to echo what others have said; crypto-currencies get people excited because once in a while the random token you bought a $100 worth of will jump by 200% and you can go tell everyone how smart and rich you are.

    The rest of the time it is just tick... tick... tick... down.

    Exciting success, boring failure. Always the key to marketing success.

    I'd urge people to only buy if there is a particular practical reason such as building up your polonium stash through the Darkweb or a relaxing bit of saturday evening money laundering.

    Although, I'd be tempted to buy a few DemonDollars for a laugh. A bit of GawnGold. PetraccaBucks? ClaytonCoin? PickettTicketts? MarketLeverage?

    Is this the accumulation of all Melbourne supporters' individual contributions to their individual 'Swear Jars' caused by watching Melbourne since 1965? :goody:

    P.S. Only just noticed @Kumamoto_Ken got in first with that joke. ?

    Every gold rush started with people literally stumbling over nuggets of gold lying on the ground. The subsequent inrush of opportunists soon cleared them out, leaving everyone else to pan, mine, crush, and generally hope for the best. The early ones got rich quick and convinced themselves they were expert prospectors. In fact they were just in the right place at the right time.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
