Is there a time limit for claiming tokens? I ask because the next tax year for the UK is in 3 days time.

It feels like there is a Fed talk every other day at this point

No because I would be accused of shilling.

Why are people here still into BTC? It's initial use case is flawed. As soon as it starts to gain any traction governments will just ban any on and off ramps, as well as banning stores from accepting it. It also simply doesn't scale. I'm not sure if any of you remember but during the 2017 bull run, the cost of transactions and the settlement time were ridiculously high. That was just at $20 000 where 1% of the population were actually thinking about getting into it. The only thing that BTC has going for it is its brand name and the fact that it was the first. There's nothing that BTC offers that any other crypto can't do better.

>Decentralized
It's also nowhere near as decentralized as many of you claim it is. 4 mining pools are centralized in China making is susceptible to a 51% attack.
>Store of value
Store of value is a secondary use case. An asset must have multiple solid primary use cases before it can deemed a store of value. Nothing about Bitcoin suggests it being a good store of value. You can't just be a store of value for the sake of it.

No world currency will be limited to 6 TPS. You are too late to the game to make it with a ridiculous amount of gains.

Don't get me wrong BTC was a revolutionary asset but those days are gone.

Thanks for the screenshot btw.

>Owned by Moneygram?
No? Ripple owns 10% stocks in Moneygram.
>Turning to Amazon and and Google to offer faster payments.
You mean Moneygram are? That is such a high level of stupidity it's infuriating. Firstly Amazon and Google aren't payments companies and do not offer faster settlement, secondly Moneygram is continuing to use XRP and ramping up as we speak.

>What is wrong with this shit coin ? Why is it such a failure and an embarrassment
It's the only crypto that is being used by financial institutions at a moderately high scale.

Also I'm guessing you haven't heard the BoA news.

it's all ogre isn't it

Fuck it, im not risking holding these heavy bags long term and missing other moons. Just dumped my 100k and made a tiny profit, it will probably go down to 15 again anyways
