My GS is earning crypto currency by renting space on his computers. My DD got so annoyed at the amount of electricity he was using that he has now installed solar panels on his fathers shed roof?. He earns about £40-50 a week from this enterprise. Useful for a student ?

Bumping this, in the hopes that someone with better knowledge than me will reply!

I noticed a few days ago people discussing the use of cash v cards.

Then read an article about how slow this country was about developing it's own digital crypto currency.
Apparently China is well underway with its launching of the digital yuen.
Companies wishing to trade with China will be forced into using it, and like it or not .most countries do trade with China.

It has real time capabilities to check on buyers and sellers, wherever in the world they trade.

It means our financial industry in London will lose out.

That's all I know about it I'm afraid.

I cant see anything good for the everyday person in this innovation. But it looks as if we dont have a choice but to use a version of digital currency.

I'm sure someone on here has better information, but at the moment it seems to hold no benefits for anyone, except a government who wishes to tighten control over it's people.
