Bitcoin exchange chief kidnapped in Kiev May have been wrong - the big slide may be tomorrow.

There was an article in the Telegraph a week or so ago reporting on comments from a former head of a US government programme. Google shows me that it was also reported in other broadsheets. Existence of extra-terrestrial craft 'proved beyond reasonable doubt', says former Pentagon X-Files...

Yes, businesses pay transaction fees (albeit usually within a package of 100 txns per month for £x). Individuals do not. I don't know if cryptocurrencies have txn fees but I'd bet even if they do not today they will have. Add to that the fx risk and money still wins. Where are you getting...

I never invest in anything I don't understand and I don't understand the appeal of cryptrocurrencies. However, if I were to invest in them, it wouldn't be a bet on which one of them eventually succeeds. I'd buy a basket of many of them as a fund. But I wouldn't do that either at the moment as...

Pretty much as I thought - still cannot see the point. Everyone can all already make real time secure transactions with no bank charges, and they can be micro (as small as 1 penny). And if it evades tax that's illegal. Bitcoin has fallen another 8% today. I think it's a double bull trap...

Can you explain to me why you think so? Genuine question because I don't get it. I understand it is useful for criminals wanting anonymity on the internet - but that's hardly a big market (I hope) - not big enough to make investors lots of money (and not the kind of thing that I would...

It's following the typical bubble profile. The first fall has now taken place and we are in the dead cat bounce stage (a small increase for a period). Next is the big fall all the way back to where it started. This is the graph of bitcoin versus GBP for the last year (before that it flatlined...

I thought that only his wife was permitted to call him Burge Butbits?

3-0. Biamou with two. He wants to take the penalty for the third but McNulty insists and scores.

Of course, and to express it. Just as those who judge others have the right to express their opinions. The question isn't one of rights, it's about whether it is a pleasant trait to supress the rights of others, even if it is only with words.

That's fine. That's moving towards the line. You don't get to choose what other people do and think. And that's bounding right over the line, assuming the right to condemn other people who don't think exactly as you do.

You can disagree with them being here without being nasty about people who don't share your opinion and go there. I find it worrying that many people in this country can no longer disagree with someone without going out of their way to be nasty to them. In my mind it shows a complete lack of...

For me, this is about respect for other people and live and let live. I have no problem with people who don't like rugby, or who like rugby but don't want to watch Wasps. What I have an objection to is ganging together to cast insults at people who do. It seems to be a fundamental part of...

A far more reasonable and considerate opinion than this for example. Not the first time that this poster has displayed a complete lack of respect for anyone who disagrees with him.

Why is it never enough for some people just to like something, such as watching the Sky Blues? Why the need to make a point of disliking something else and belittling the people that follow that sport? I like football and rugby and cricket and other sports. I'll be watching the Six Nations in...

People who use their horn to bully and punish on the road. I'd only ever use my horn in exceptional circumstances; if I can avoid an accident by slowing down then that's the route I take - everyone makes mistakes, we don't need to startle and make people feel small when they do.

This post not specific to any gender. As a family, we were playing Articulate last night. It's a game where you have to describe a word on a card and your partner has to guess the word. We had some pretty inaccurate descriptions such as 'It's a place in Italy where they go boating". Lake...

Exeter should win their game - but both Notts County and Luton have tricky away games. We may still be fourth if we win, having gained points on the top 2.
