My £130 is now worth £101.16 😂😂. Should have cashed out at £150 the other day. A £20 gain looks epic at the minute.

I've no idea what I'm doing FWIW. I just bought a couple of coin types and have enjoyed watching how volatile it is. I'm just going to see what happens.

Only bet what you're prepared to lose. That's sound advice. I don't know anyone that's up. The hodl crowd are probably puking every morning on their over leveraged lives.

Crypto is just ridiculous really. I love a bet on the horses and I feel much more confident doing that than bloody crypto. I'm happy to let it play out as it's interesting seeing the ups and downs without having any clue why the fuck it's doing it 😂😂

Why?! Buy shares, they're cheap currently and have intrinsic value. Lloyds should give you a 4.5% dividend this year and the share price is well under NAV.

Just for fun. I have about 30% of my monthly income automatically invested in index and mutual funds within a stocks and shares ISA, which is my main form of investment. My total crypto investment is about £300 and if I make £50 then great, if I lose it all then I can say I was part of this crazy dumb phenomenon.

What do you think of the energy consumption/pollution generated by crypto mining Pete?

IIRC your degree (work?) had something to do with environmental studies?

I avoid bitcoin now for that reason. The others seem much better in terms of energy use (obviously still 100% wasteful if you believe they offer no utility, but I do think they will provide actual utility in future), but I must confess it's not something I've looked into in great detail.

It’s a roller coaster, I’ve been up as much as $82,000 😂

My shares on the other hand, despite being purchased at record lows are still £650 down over, my only one doing genuinely wel is Bacanora, which is a Lithium mine I did some reading on.

Crypto is much more fun and not all crypto is equal.

Yeah, I guess that's the thing. I'm not convinced that they'll be any use for anything but speculation at this point. I can't see them ever coming back towards being a useful currency alternative anyway.
