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

A metal with no real value other than scarcity

No value at all except you can fashion it into rings & other pretty things which the other people in your village are prepared to buy off you in exchange for chickens, cows, sheep's wool, buckets of milk, axes,  ploughs, etc.

In my village I tried this with bitcoin but only got offered a few old tulip bulbs in return.

    Have a read of David Graeber's DEBT. It blows the lid off barter and gold as a medium of exchange.

    Precious metals are just like crypto and unlike state money. Tax liabilities drive the value of state money. Nothing else can compete. But at least PMs have a history of people believing in their worth in times on instability.

    Yeah but their financial advisors will ?

    Thanks mate I've added it to my "to read" list on Goodreads.
    I watched a doco called "The Money Masters" a while ago which seems to have had a similar premise.

    Precious metals have held their value for thousands of years, crypto has been around one decade.In countries where fiat currency has been reduced to the value of toilet paper due to wars, mismanagement and other catastrophes gold and silver are still king. We are lucky Australia hasn’t been one of them. But who knows what the future holds.

    People saying crypto has no future here probably said the same thing about the internet in the 90s. ? 

    You only need to take a look at the thousands of use cases for ethereum and smart contracts.

    There is probably a good reason other clubs have not signed up to coinjar or the like. Not sure it is such a coup. Some supporters will see it as re-entering gambling

    Petracca’s new contract ?

     Does this sit outside the salary cap?

    It’s like buying a slab of beer for $50 today,  $80 next week and $15 the week after.

    Try finding the right coin to jump on.

    Had a look in 2018 and jumped on a couple of training stocks but luck of the draw really.

    No doubt a life changer if you jump on the right coin though.

    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 ;-) 

    Using U.S banks as a measure of trust and assurance is hardly a source of comfort.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
