Initiative Q is building a new payment network. To get people to adopt it, they’re giving away significant sums of their future currency to early people. They require only name, email, and an invite from an existing user. Here’s my invite link:

There is no limit on sending the link, but you can only verify 5 friends in total.

Initiative Q will only succeed if many people join. The more people invite their friends, the greater the likelihood of reaching the goal of each Q being worth around one US dollar.

Welcome to the future of payments!

-Q team.

#9015 "RBS braces for Brexit with plan to shift £13bn out of UK".....why do they need to tell in advance? Smart people move first and tell everyone afterwards if they really believe in what they are doing...then again RBS had to be bailed out in 2008 so maybe they are not that smart. Reminds me of Gordon Brown selling half our gold reserves but telling the market 6 months earlier and selling at depressed prices.

Will Brexit suffer the same fate? Wallets out for "British Pride?"

MM will probably park the price around 52.5p on Tuesday...if the vote goes against then Wednesday it dips to around 48p and buyers come in sending shares higher to 54p at yesterday's close...

mikemichael, Alphorn's saying some people wouldn't buy German or Japanese products because of the war, and he's absolutely right.

A lot of these people managed to forgive the Germans after 10 or 20 years but never, ever forgave the Japs.

WW2 ? What did the Germans do to the Jews Alp ??You OK with that ??

Are you saying that we should not buy Japanese cars because of WW2 ?

Crazy, that was a different generation.

Everything the Brexit chimps don't like to hear is put in the 'head in the sand' box called Project Fear.

Bad weather this week ahead - Project Fear.

Cheshire - "Al least if she loses the vote, they can spin the line 'we gave it our best shot' before resigning."

A lot of truth there, CP. That's something that I've been mulling over with nurse for some time now, that May's looking to the future and how she'll go down in the history books. I reckon that she's looking forward to being forced out.

Either that, or I'm back to my first diagnosis - that she's stark raving.

Wotever, Tuesday should be yet another mark on the calendar - that and it's Modern Jive night, lol :)

"Whats wrong with Honda's and Toyotas instead of German cars"


That is one weird statement mm2.

If you are in the Jackinabox/Devoid camp of harping back to WW2 have you forgotten what the Japanese did at that time? You, like me, may still have family there.


(For clarity, I am not in the J/D camp on this subject).

Yup the new digital banks are a huge threat to lloyds. Lloyds is a dinosaur with an internal culture that cannot change fast enough.

See Corbyn is saying that he wishes to stay in the customs union.
There must more that 400 mp'S who know this is the right thing to do.
It is bound to happen.

People want leadership.
Ignore that damned vote.

We send thousands to their death in wars, introduce rationing and conscription without a referendum.
Why have one on a technical issue such as this.

[alphorn] 08/12/2018 10:03

To keep things simple everyone is scrambling about to find a second best solution.

The least worse situation.

It will take a while before the penny drops for some.

[alphorn] 08/12/2018 10:01

"they haven't a clue"

Because they don't.

Next Wed will be a market moving day.
If treeza gets her vote through, which seems unlikely, the market will surge 200 points.
Otherwise, who knows, the market may have priced in the alternative.

This all sounds a bit like the year 2000...the fear of computers crashing and planes falling out of the sky blah blah blah...nothing happened...apart from the overly hyped up tech bubble burst...

Warnings of a “logjam” at Britain’s ports as a result of a no-deal Brexit are misleading, a senior representative of the industry has said.

It comes after Philip Hammond, the Chancellor, said that ports would face chaos if the UK left the EU without a deal and would take “years” to adapt.

But Tim Morris, the chief executive of UK Major Ports Group, the trade body, said: “The UK’s port sector is a resilient, adaptable and highly competitive one, offering customers a range of options.

"We will work through the challenges of Brexit as we have done with huge changes throughout the centuries.”

In a letter to The Daily Telegraph on behalf of port operators responsible for 75 per cent of the UK’s seaborne...
