Have actually done very well doing the exact opposite of what Motley Fool advise.

Just in case it happens again it's as well that we all know the fun and games being played in an attempt to part us from our BTC and divert our attention from the future certainty that is BTC, blockchain, decentralisation and defi. Make sure to read it all, it's enlightening, especially for those who aren't aware of how this all works...

Just a mention since we're all BTC believers in one form or another. Am heavily invested in ARB and have been adding more this week. Also added a lot more MSTR because, well, when you look at the fundamentals and the fact it's headed up by Michael Saylor, (Good to see both Michael Saylor & Peter Wall working together re greener mining) it's hard not to see the upside. MC $4.5B yet holding circa 100,000 BTC @ $40K/BTC (price today) - that's $4B alone in BTC out of their MC of $4.5B. Plus there's the rest of their business, which is doing very well indeed. Great way of getting BTC for very little premium over spot as such.

Obviously, you're entitled to your opinion but you still haven't answered the question. Why do you think it is not a likely outcome?

That's not very nice. Hey look, if it hadn't been for someone suggesting the same possibility with Carillion, I would have been mightily poorer. It seems to me a distinct possibility here as these situations have a habit of sounding the same and then the dreaded news hits. Perhaps you could enlighten me as to why administration isn't a likely outcome instead of just bad mouthing?

No, the FCA/GOV want rid of them so their chums in the banking and credit card system can instead devise an even more nefarious way (dressed up as fair and equitable, of course) of fleecing this target market. Remember Saving and Loans? Slightly different but the idea is the same, take sub-prime customers, give them loans, wrap them up in nice, safe sounding packages and sell them on to other institutions and ultimately those invested in such institutions - i.e. the retail investor yet again.

That's the news non of us want to hear. Just wondering what the likelihood might be because in my experience, once the undertakers are called in the shareholders are always last in line.

Sticking my neck out here but Rocketships today here. BTC just can't be held down and ready to reaffirm it's dominance by teaching those alts a lesson. Who's the daddy!

As more institutions fomo in as BTC continues its inevitable rise to 75, 100, 200 etc Remember Arb bouncing rapidly from sub £1 through £3. Well, it can do it again so don't be surprised to see a fast multiple doubling. Once the miners come back into favour, which I suspect is just about right now, investors are going to rapidly absorb the heavy current discount and drive Arb to new aths in a relative flash. Expecting buyers to be on this today like tramps on chips.

Despite the bears and the shorts dumping as hard as they could yesterday, the buying pressure was simply too great and forced them back. So much so that we're currently well on the way back to where we were just before, a mere one day after the onslaught and in the midst of a stock sell off. The case of BTC being a rising store of value in the face of uncertainty is becoming clearer by the day and as a result there will be a major revision of miners fundamentals. I suspect the money flow back in will start again in earnest this week, possibly tomorrow and Arb will turn to the upside. Further suspect the move back up will be rapid compared to the slide down, especially as BTC is pretty much destined to at least double from here in the relative short term and continue its meteoric march upwards as time flows onwards. Too much big money and too many big names (which will continue to increase exponentially, driving the price ever up) behind BTC now for it not to fulfil its rightful position as the worlds premium treasury asset. I know it might not seem like it at the moment but relax and take comfort in the knowledge that you are invested in perhaps the greatest and fundamentally solid asset the world has ever seen. I for one am delighted to be holding and participating in this historic happening as we witness the old financial order crumble and a new decentralised order emerge with BTC as the foundation.

GOAT is an acronym for Greatest Of All Time - therefore he is referring to his goat and Bitcoin as Greatest Of All Time. Does this mean he or FB have bought BTC?

Yep, same here, although not quite 500k. Once bitten twice shy. Just wait till they decide to turn the price to the upside. £3 plus in the blink of an eye.

They want your shares. The only way to beat them at their own game is to buy when they pull the rug. Adding again.

You can stick your stinking GovCoins where the sun don't shine! They are still fiat and fiat can't be trusted in the same way Govts can't be trusted - wherever, ever! Decentralised finance with a BTC foundation is, it seems, the only credible, equitable way forward to have been conceived.

That's because he's a denialist scaredy cat financial luddite.

This is massively positive news for BTC as many retail investors still have got the slightest clue about BTC, how to trade it, hodl it etc. Many even believe they can't afford it, thinking they have to buy a whole or multiple coins and not realising you can purchase any divisible amount. This move will help rectify those misconceptions and lead to a whole new wave of bank customers investing in BTC and probably other crypto. If this isn't a massive indication that BTC, crypto and blockchain are here to stay and represent the future I really don't know what does. Arb will come good and when it does the current price will seem like a distant, almost unbelievably low entry point.

Yeah right, and like many other institutional big mouths who big mouthed BTC in the past, next week or next month or whenever, don't be surprised to see Janie Dimun being hailed as another BTC Bull. History proves these shysters change their views like the wind. Dim by name, dim by nature.

Yes, they can see where your stop losses are set and spike you out. Personally don't use them for this very reason.

Yes, precisely, the graphite Alba have is PREMIUM GRAPHITE, much like Welsh gold is PREMIUM GOLD! Not just any old graphite but Jumbo flaked graphite which commands a hefty premium over the smaller flaked grades. Nearly 20X the price of the finest grade and over 5X the price of the next best grade. Average price per ton over all grades might well be $1741 per ton but this is jumbo flaked graphite at $6175 per ton. Now let's run that by our calculators shall we...250,000 x $6175 = $15B!! Yeah, that's right, I got a big shock too. Kind puts a whole different perspective on just how MASSIVE this news really is dontcha think! Unless I'm a trillion miles off the mark here, Alba is going to godamn Saturn when this sinks in with the market.

I respect your opinion. My view is simply that AWS will not do anyone any favours unless the advantages of doing so are heavily weighted in their favour. The devil is always in the detail. Have we seen the details? No, not the finer details because that will not be shown under the guise of commercially sensitive information. Go ahead, ask MCRO to reveal all. I'll wager the answer on that one. So that's that then. We simply have to trust that this is fantastic deal - all upside, all warm and sunny, all fine and dandy. Of course, no downside, no double dealing, no stitching up like a kipper. C'mon man! Seriously?
