johnnydun Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Sorry if this has been asked previously in the thread, has anyone on here taken a small punt on a crypto? Like £50 / £100 something like that? If you did, how did it go? I'm not interested in Python bullshit. Just wondering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Judge Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Major crypto lending platform Celsius on Monday announced it was suspending all withdrawals due to “extreme market conditions,” triggering a major selloff in the cryptocurrency market with Bitcoin dropping dropping more than 9%. In a blog post on Monday, Celsius said it was “pausing all withdrawals, [currency] swap, and transfers between accounts,” noting that it was doing so to allow itself to meet all of its withdrawal obligations in the future. The company said its action will “stabilize liquidity and operations while we take steps to preserve and protect assets,” and added that its customers will continue to accrue rewards during the freeze. According to its website, Celsius claims it held $11.8 billion in assets as of May 17, has processed $8.2 billion in loans and has around 1.7 million customers. Following the announcement, the value of Celsius’ own token (CEL) slumped by more than 50%, and as of early Monday morning, it was trading below 20 cents—massively down from around $2 in early May and $7 in June last year. Celsius’ announcement also triggered a selloff in the wider cryptocurrency market with Bitcoin dropping below $25,000, its lowest level since December 2020. The suspension of withdrawals comes just a day after Celsius founder and CEO Alex Mashinsky hit out at critics on Twitter, accusing them of spreading misinformation and FUD—a popular crypto acronym for “Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt.” Responding to a tweet by Mike Dudas, the founder of crypto news outlet The Block, Mashinsky wrote: “Mike do you know even one person who has a problem withdrawing from Celsius?… If you are paid for this then let everyone know you are picking sides.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's down from where I bought it. Whilst I understand XRP to be backed by decent technology with real applications, I just viewed it as a gamble on whether they were to win their case with SEC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) Freaky crypto scams preying on the gullible are so commonplace these days that they're barely news but this one is an absolute doozy It's a new token the USP of which is that they're going to build a massive statue of a goat with Elon Musks head riding a rocket and park it outside Musk's office They then get themselves a chance to pitch it to the general public on Fox News Investment show which appears to takes them seriously Most of Coffeezilla's videos could go on this thread but while he's covered bigger stories than this I don't think he's dealt with anything quite so batshit crazy and entertaining Edited June 13, 2022 by topcat(The most tip top) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albus Bulbasaur Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 After Satoshi's last post I put my life savings into the dip. I've now taken out several QuickQuid loans and I'm planning on buying some Gorillianaire Bored Thugs to hopefully flip and get back to the moon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will maybe be down to people paying for stuff that isnt exactly legal, one of the earliest kinda sports iptv/stream providers started charging in bitcoin (sportsmania) years ago, and it was wee shitty amounts like that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
