    Hmmmmmm.....

    If I had £180 that I didn't care if I lost it (never really going to happen!), I might be tempted to give it a shot. I am VERY sceptical though

      It's just a form of very risky gambling though. Fine when the Bitcoin price is going up but will lose a substantial amount when Bitcoin value falls as it does.

      I too am sceptical. If it makes so much money why do they need investment? They could have generated enough for themselves by keeping quiet. It sounds like those cons where you send off £20 for a book on how to make a million and the book tells you that you place adverts in papers asking people to send you £20 for a book on how to make a million :whistle:

        I wouldn't be surprised if that website is a scam (fake news?)

          Well found FC. There was a similar false advert on Facebook with unauthorised photos and made up quotes from Martin Lewis (moneysavingexpert also on the telly I believe) - can't remember what the advert was for but it must have tricked a few people into parting with their money.

            I'm going to go all Dalai Lama here :yikes: - financial systems exist to enslave the population - to the benefit of the elite. Instead of being provided directly with food and accommodation - wage slaves are given money in order to buy food and accommodation.

            Bit coin will never take off - it's not regulated - so there is no consumer confidence.
