Bitcoin off the ropes
Just in case you thought Bitcoin had had its day, I’m here to tell you that you are very wrong. Not only is the US Dollar price nudging $5000 once again, but Bitcoin has re-asserted its dominance. It presently stands at over 52% by market value of ALL digital currencies. And that’s with something like […]
Interest on your Scotcoin holdings

Sterling Stops at Dover

$8 billion? A DAY?!
$ 8 billion? A DAY?! It’s no wonder Goldman Sachs is starting to pay attention to Bitcoin and crypto currencies generally.
