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.

Not an auspicious time to make the public announcement for the crypto fans!

Hopefully a very different trajectory than the Deeeeezzz

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.

crypto must be good..........cos it's digital


Meanwhile, Elon has just walked away from it and some ethical investors are beginning to divest.

You are right but I am trying to learn about cryptocurrencies

Agreed, but it’s def a tough fight in here isn’t it. lol. let’s return to this subject in the future. 

 

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
