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.

    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.

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
