The cryptocurrency surges 17% as Tesla also said it could start accepting Bitcoin as payment.
Well done, Bob. I'm fed up to the back teeth of bypass-brain-&-shoot-from-the-hip-sceptics like Wizcat, for whom ignorance is no bar to spilling their views about.
It's done enormous damage to our chances of sorting out climate change in time, and I suspect that most of the pea-brains have children whose futures they are trashing with their ill-considered tripe. Removed

More market manipulation by Musk talking up assets he is long in. SEC really should look into him harder rather than just ignore it as "it's Tesla". I thought they were screening his tweets? He'll ride the wave and take the profit.
Bitcoin's carbon footprint is as high as that of an entire country (e.g. Jordan, Sri Lanka, New Zealand - see Christian Stoll's paper). If we want to be green, won't we have to do better?
Yep... you got it right, "No Brainer".. but not how you meant it.

The amount of ignorance and uninformed comments about Bitcoin here is remarkable. A lot of the people commenting clearly have zero knowledge of Bitcoin, how it works and why it was created. Nor do they have any understanding of the underlying technology.

I suggest you go away and educate yourself on the following things:
1. The difference between the £ and the $ sign.
2. What a bitcoin public/private key actually looks like.
3. How to be more descriptive in your posts than just putting ..lol when you don't know what to write.
Then again, your post is a perfect example of the difference between people who understand bitcoin and those who don't.

After reading through a bunch of posts, it's clear that most people should stay off BBC and other brain sapping platforms and go learn something. The world would really benefit if we all pulled our heads out from our backsides.

Basically, you think if people disagree with you they should shut up.... Your presumed superiority is breathtakingly arrogant... I think I know where your head is.......
No thanks, I'll keep most of my cash and gold hidden around my property and not make myself bankrupt by being so gullible and naive to waste any of it on the imaginary currency of "Bitcoin" which doesn't even have a solitary material asset to give it any value, credibility or worth...
It's the Davy Jones Locker for the greedy, gullible and naive...

There are 1.1m employed in financial sector in the UK. That's just a fifth. And remember that's total - not just their employment contribution!
