Title: Do you own any digital currency? Post by: Dave Gray on May 29, 2024, 12:48:48 pm I do not.
However, I have funds in a gambling account that I've had for decades at this point. I have received a check from them before, but they've moved over to all transaction being in bitcoin. I don't have a wallet, so I guess I have to figure that out. Since the gambling laws have loosened where I live, I will probably let my last bet finish and then just make a clean break. Do any of you have a digital wallet? Do you hold any digital currency? Title: Re: Do you own any digital currency? Post by: Phishfan on May 29, 2024, 01:04:21 pm No.

Title: Re: Do you own any digital currency? Post by: Dave Gray on February 28, 2025, 11:47:36 am Update to a gravedig -- I pulled the money from the sportsbook, which I received in bitcoin. After paying out the other people in my pool, I paid myself and I actually made some profit on the rise in bitcoin while I was distributing the money.
I ended up keeping $200 in there, as of 2/1. It lost about 20% of its value in the 1 month since. But I'm going to keep it there and see how it goes. Title: Re: Do you own any digital currency? Post by: SCFinfan on March 21, 2025, 01:35:38 pm I have some BTC and Ethereum. Is it nonsense? Not to me. Just needs more regs, though once it is regulated heavily, I believe it'll lose most of it's value, as it's value is partially (as I see it) in the fact that it's unregulated in a way that allows you to send and receive it without the usage of banks.
I have never sent nor received bitcoin myself, I just buy it thru my investment app. If something were to happen to the american dollar that was catastrophic, I would want a backup that is not physical gold or another country's currency... Title: Re: Do you own any digital currency? Post by: Sibster on March 21, 2025, 02:31:12 pm I don't. If something happens and either electricity or the internet goes down, your money is wiped out. I've invested in gold and silver in case of a disaster or in case something happens to the American dollar.
