I believe some blockchains are worse than others but all seem objectively pretty wasteful. The "miners" are also causing issues for the PC gaming industry, with high-end graphics card shortages adding multiple £100s onto the cost of buying a gaming rig.

Matt Hancock thinks we should all invest in crypto. Not him. Just us... :roll:
https://twitter.com/MichaelPDeacon/stat ... HFRXNa5ylg
Matt Hancock has doubled down on his support for crypto and said it is his “mission” to make the British public love digital assets.
“It’s right to say you may lose everything, but you may not right?” said Hancock, adding that he welcomes warnings from the FCA which make investors aware about the risks of investing in crypto.

Hancock, who does not invest in crypto himself, went on to dub rules restricting access to high risk investment products “patronising.”

The NFT boom might be ending... perhaps 'investors' have finally had enough of the colossal theft and scams around this space...

Over the course of these next few weeks I will be releasing 137.21GB of Telegram group chats and messages

I absolutely do not recommend having any contact with this person or the published wallet.

I still don't understand this crypto stuff.
Is it a bit like buying a foreign currency and then when the exchange rates change, your money is potentially worth more or less if you were to convert it back to GBP? Plus, you can use the the foreign currency like cash (if the other party accepts it)?

NFTs are another thing I just don't get. My understanding is that they are like numbered limited edition LPs. All identical, but unique because of the number, and you can't just keep reproducing them because of the number.

And the blockchain provides a means of tracking and controlling all the transactions on the above to provide consistent reliable records and reduce (prevent?) fraud?

Sounds to me like you understand it perfectly.

The thing I would add about crypto currencies is that they are significantly more volatile than most conventional currencies.
