Yesterday felt like a buy the dip kinda day.
Tried an exchange deposit since Bisq’s order book was quite thin. What a disaster:
• Starling Bank: Remembered that exchange deposits are blocked
• Wise: Found out that exchange deposits blocked
• Revolut: Transaction frozen, fraud quiz, then a 3-hour hold
• Monzo: Transaction frozen, passed around support agents with no ETA, account frozen.
4 banks, only one deposit went through after hours of hassle (ongoing with Monzo)
Are there any UK banks that just trust you to send and receive transfers?

What’s the best content you’ve come across re. Bitcoin and quantum computing FUD.
Thinking one pod and one article.
~60 million millionaires in the world.
If 1 BTC = $0.1m, their net worth is 10 BTC or more at the start of 2025.
How many of these people will still have a net worth of 10 BTC at the end of the year?
A massive wealth transfer is brewing.
