Good luck. You will trust him when everyone u know is sending money for free and you aren’t. Lol

 

Its actually interesting to see people’s responses to this stuff. I really do understand. What is a <deleted> suit and tie though? The people wearing suits and ties have not really been telling the truth if you haven’t noticed. Their point, at least my interpretation, is to be the opposite of these prolific liars. But hey, believe who you want, I just think you will probably be forced to believe soon enough, unless you don’t like your own money. 

Some of these dinosaurs still believe gold to be a good hedge. I feel sorry for them in a way, as they are going to get burnt with their stocks and bonds and Luddite ways.

mate there's so much more to crypto and the blockchain than just Bitcoin. i think you need to do a bit more reading before you dismiss the impact that this disruptive technology is going to have on the world in the very near future.

OK so you don't have much of a sense of humour.

That’s good, because you don’t need Bitcoin to use this system. Bitcoin blockchain is just used to make the transaction.

I hear Celcius are giving similar cards soon. Will be great way to spend the 8.88% interest I get on my USDC. I guess some here are happier with their 1% from the brick n mortar banks

That's a similar yield that the Evergrande bonds offered....and how much are they worth now? Staking crypto on Celsius is like buying Celsius bonds. Caveat emptor.

What do you think of the people who say "I'll stick to sending cash by wire transfer, as the cost is negligible"? 

This is exactly how you sound to those using the newest, best ways to transfer.

The clever ones will. In fact, SCB has already some corridors open using crypto, for example from Thailand to Japan and back, where people can get money remitted immediately for a couple of cents. 

 

Try doing it to China which has just placed a total ban on all Cryptocurrency transactions!!

Actually it's not. Not at all. Different exchanges, different prices. Every 16 year old would know this.

My UK bank had been my friend thanks and gave me what other UK banks wouldn't do in Thailand.

 

My UK pension is paid into my Thai bank what would you have me do, have it sent via what some idiot has come up with, it is already a free service by IPC. 

[sucit]

I love reading these replies. You have people saying, without knowing it of course, the following…

 

”I want my dealings with money to come from the bankers, because they were suits when they go on tv, not hoodies”.

 

“I like banking and transfers that charge me fees”.

 

You know, every time you swipe your credit card or buy something on Amazon, the retailer gets charged a fee. Guess who pays for that fee! It’s just a cost the retailer has to deal with. You pay it; you pay the damn merchant credit card fees.

 

And here you have a system where the payments will be free of charge over a public network, and people are complaining. Haha. Not to mention their everlasting trust in the suit wearingIm bankers of the world lol. 
 

It is just too much entertainment for one to get. Don’t give me the satisfaction, it’s just too good I don’t deserve this much pleasure.

None of your banking is “free”. I just tried to explain that. Every single transaction you do their is a fee that gets paid. You may not see it, but you pay it in the end. 
 

But yes! The banks are your friend. I love your open minded and logical attitude.

Just love the posts from these "prophets" (being extremely polite here) dripping with disdain for us lemmings and our old and stupid ways. And I especially love to watch them crash and burn and turning into silent little internet mice.

So when your crypto wealth turns into useless zeroes and ones and you sit outside a 7/11 with your beggar's bowl I will gladly give you some of my own crypto currency freshly produced and loudly coming out of my posterior.

Now, Twitter will caught up in financial investigations more and more and it will start going the FB way with more and more verification of the account owners and sharing of more and more data with authorities. It'll lose the last of its lingering wild west freedoms it has had.

If you got in 6 months ago that was  around the time BTC reached its zenith.    That leaves you a long way to crash to the bottom.
