I don't understand how it works, and it seems very up and down so I won't be joining crypto currency investors. However I have heard that "mining" for bitcoin uses huge amounts of electricity, not very good for the planet.

Watch the programme on Netflix - hair-raising. Don't go there with a bargepole!

Crypto currency is rapidly losing value - if you have any get rid of it asap

Cryptocurrency is a very bad investment now that the inevitable crash is happening.

I don't have enough money to risk gambling with it.

I would have thought gransnetters have more sense.

No I don’t understand it and to be honest life is not long enough to even try

As interest rates are so dire and I still have a fair bit of time on my hands until my work picks up post Covid?I have started to learn about Crypto and invest some small amounts.

It’s really interesting, I bought a coin recently at an all time low and the price doubled within 72 hours!

Are any of you investing?

Have you any tips?
