I like when my Stellar holdings reach new lows and I consider doubling down that it's good to remember that the trading pair is: XL METH. That can't be an accident.

Lloyds Bank to ban credit card owners from buying cryptocurrencies
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/f…
Lloyds Banking Group Plc said on Sunday it would ban its credit card customers from buying Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
"Across Lloyds Bank, Bank of Scotland, Halifax and MBNA, we do not accept credit card transactions involving the purchase of cryptocurrencies,” a company spokeswoman said in an email.Britain's biggest mortgage lender will ban its credit card customers from buying Bitcoin amid fears that they could run up huge losses, the Telegraph reported earlier on Sunday.
The company will block any attempts to buy Bitcoin with a credit card starting on Monday, but digital currencies could be purchased with debit cards, the newspaper said.
- Middle finger. How could they decide how their customer is going to spend their money?Beeswax
- because it's something they don't have control of (yet). Ridiculous, they gonna ban customers going to casinos as well.fadein11
- ?fadein11
- Because it's their money (credit) not their customer's (debit).detritus
- @Beeswax erm, it's not the customer's money; it's the bank's money! LOLKrassy
- ^ oops. Didn't see @detrius' comment. So yeah, I echo 2hat @detrius saidKrassy
- Oh come on, like they put a ban on anything else. Would never be an issue if they put sensible limits and interest rates in place. Credit card companies do notfadein11
- care about their customers getting into debt lol.fadein11
- yup, it's what detritus said ... they are fronting the money as creditmonospaced
- Well let's hope their moral crusade spreads to other areas customers get into serious debt with then (it won't).fadein11
- Could be a fraud prevention measure? If you were a bad-guy with a CC number, a bitcoin exchange would be a great place to launder into real money.monNom

- There was some news about a subpoena being sent to Bitfinex, but then it turned out it was sent on Dec 6, two months ago... I think Tether is fine.drgs
- Bait noob investers with headlines and leave them with a bad taste on cryptocurrencies. Whoever said it would hit 100k should be arrested lol.pinkfloyd

This talk about it being 'dead' because its dropping makes zero sense, in any way at all, lol. It isn't stocks in a company, jizz heads.
- the ONLY thing it has going for it is the trust that it will still be valuable tomorrow. Without that, it's worthless.monNom
- Look at all the altcoins. Exactly the same tech, but price varies only by brand name. It's the trust that makes it valuable, and the herd is getting spooked.monNom
- Like so many, I don't think you quite understand the vision and purpose of bitcoin..********
- Theoretically it could drop to $1 a bitcoin and still become the world currency of the future...********
- To say it's dying because the value is dropping is to completely miss the point of why its 'alive'...********
- Let's imagine it was $1, and then it fell to $0.50. How likely would it be that people would still accept it as currency?monNom
- remember that it's in competition with other currencies that hold their value pretty steadily.monNom
- Uh well obviously it'll only become the currency of the future once it stabilises, so your question makes no sense... ?********
- Once/if********
- The current crash is killing off the recent cryptocurrency investment fad. But...the same fad probably seeded a thousand projects.yuekit
- The challenge will be for these projects to actually realize their vision...right now it's all very theoretical and speculation based on that.yuekit

Tomorrow:
HE COMMITTEE ON BANKING, HOUSING, AND URBAN AFFAIRS will meet in OPEN SESSION to conduct a hearing entitled, Virtual Currencies: The Oversight Role of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission
https://www.banking.senate.gov/p…"“We are entering a new digital era in world financial markets. As we saw with the development of the Internet, we cannot put the technology genie back in the bottle. Virtual currencies mark a paradigm shift in how we think about payments, traditional financial processes, and engaging in economic activity. Ignoring these developments will not make them go away, nor is it a responsible regulatory response. The evolution of these assets, their volatility, and the interest they attract from a rising global millennial population demand serious examination. With the proper balance of sound policy, regulatory oversight and private sector innovation, new technologies will allow American markets to evolve in responsible ways and continue to grow our economy and increase prosperity. This hearing is an important part of finding that balance.”"
- are we at a new low; or is that new low going to be a gift we get from the SEC in about half an hour?MrAbominable
