Barnum would be proud! A sucker born every minute! If I had tons of cash and got bored(not likely with tons of cash) I would plunk a few quatloos into the pot for snicks and grins!
Why am I thinking of a scheme that rhymes with Fonzi? Heeey!👍
I'm afraid I am not bright enough to understand what value a cryptocurrency has. I just cannot understand why someone would accept payment of a bitcoin for a bag of flour. A government backed currency is accepted by every one until the nation goes bankrupt (Zimbabwe for one) but what triggers a cryptocurrency to be valued by a group of people? As I said, I'm just not bright enough.
It reminds me of that geezer who was trying to persuade the council to let him dig up a landfill because he threw out a hard drive with £150 million in bitcoin on it ten years ago.
I can think of a standards organisation that works peer to peer, but at least it has a steering group and grown ups to take things in hand when the shouting starts. But it takes 3 to 5 YEARS to get to consensus, and can often be longer. Certainly any small group forking would be seriously frowned upon. Nobody is going to make any money, though.

I thought I'd just walked into a parallel dimension. The first half of that was actually quite informative and interesting, even technical.
I came here for the innuendo.
I mean, I've seen your column before. Ewww.
Sorry, I can see your point. No that just won't do at all.
Just kidding. Keep it up. No, really. Oh dear. I mean keep up the good work.
If this works, you'll single-handedly have wiped out the whole cryptocurrency market.
The only time I worked in a bank, it wasn't that fun... Damn, I probably was at a floor too low. There no joy being a coal-trimmer.
Great digest of that piece of history. Mr Dabbs, you're the War Nerd of IT.
Is 'barista bating' anything like 'masturbating'?
Or did you just toss that piece of bait out intentionally? 😁
(I'm only joking, Mr D. I don't usually pick people up on typos, but I couldn't resist)

Somehow, I can't imagine accidentally throwing £150 million in bank notes away so easily.

Poop isn't real until you can hold it in your hands...
"Bitcoin was the Hula Hoop of the last decade. "
More like a Scampi 'n' Lemon NikNak, I'd say.
At least poopcoin is clearly a load of BS.
