Bitcoin is not going away.
​

Money printing has allowed UNEARNED WEALTH to concentrate in the the hands of a few power hungry, greedy people giving them the means to wage wars endlessly.
"Absolute power corrupts Absolutely".

​Take time to realise the true meaning of this.

Bitcoin is truly DECENTRALIESED the beauty of this is there is NO one attack surface. No office. No bank. No pile of coins to be stolen. No where the government can walk in and take over.
Although Cryptocurrencies are a bit of a roller coaster ride, the gains over the last year have been undeniably.
I believe this is just the start. I believe the financial world will turn inside out over the next few years.
The excessive money printing and borrowing of all the major governments could lead to the collapse of the Dollar, Pound and Yen leaving you with pensions and investments that are worthless.
There are no official experts out there. There are no training courses as the whole space is moving so fast, its a full time job staying up to date. The only real experts are the people that have been following the scene every day.

If you wish to DONATE some Bitcoin afterwards, that would be most welcome.

There's over 1500 crypto currencies, at lease 90% are SCAMS the other 9% will go no where. Leaving may be 1% worth while.


Why Bitcoin BTC
  • Money printing by governments is the biggest scam ever invented - In the UK the total amount of money has increased 7 X since the 1980.
  • Instead of your money going from​ You - Bank - Recipient.      It goes You - Recipient
  • Its Truly Democratic. IE you cant change the rules unless the vast majority  (miners and HODLers) decide to.
  • You are trusting maths not governments or companies
  • It can scale. Perform many thousands of transactions per second. The Lightning network is enabling much faster cheeper payments.
  • All value is owned 100% by the investors only
  • No one can print more and steal the value of your savings
  • It has the largest Network Effect of all the crypto's
  • No "Premine" - No one printed a ton of Bitcoin copycat and kept it for them selfs - THEN released the currency making them selfs very rich.​
  • The bitcoin blockchain has never been hacked since creation
  • No down time

Down sides are

  • Loose your private keys = loose your money!
  • Theres no person or company you can ring if it goes wrong.
  • The price can go down as well as up.
  • Code is written by volunteers so it improves more slowly than a business
  • Numerous scams.
  • No website apart from ones written by volunteers (like this one) or the one shown below.
  • Numerous copies​ pretending to be bitcoin eq Bitcoin cash, Gold, Private etc
  • Its all a great big experement.
​
If in doubt stick with Bitcoin (BTC) not Bitcoin Cash (BCH or BCC)
If its backed by a bank or a compamy or some one rings you its not Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Storage

Large amouts shoud be stored on a dedicated storage device EG Ledger Nano s or Trezor. They make trasactions easy. Of course you Bitcoin is not stored on the device. Its stored on the block chain so IF you loose your divice you can buy a new one - Log in with your 24 word seed and you have access to your Bitcoin again. This is generally tue for all devices.

Never keep your Bitcoin on an exchange!
   Remove it to your storage divice ASAP. Exchanges can and do go bust or get hacked.

In crypto you private keys are everything.
​     Not your keys - Not your bitcoin.​

Or a desktop App such as Exodus

As this is connected to the internet It could be hacked! So best for small amounts.
