Logically gives the same conclusion with broader parameters in the early part. as in............ If various groups of people believe in things existing, then the things existing is not relevant, only the belief is questionable. Yes you're right. They say that the vast majority of people on this forum believe that p2p is real. The groups supporting the various platforms believe their choices are the right ones. How silly is all that? Actually whilst not commenting on the extetionalism (tbh not even understanding it) I think one blow up of a largish platform in four years is quite a good record. It will be a major achievement if it can be repeated over the next four.

Indeed P2P platforms are not very well capitalised and on the whole loss making, my remark was to illustrate good fortune so far. Apparently Collateral's collapse is not for financial reasons so if we are to avoid more collapses especially with less than benign macro economic circumstances ahead we will be very fortunate.

All platforms are required to have funded run off plans at this time there is nothing to suggest these will be other than effective, efficient and robust. Idle speculation otherwise is just unhelpful.

I do hope you have left out a "not". You may be right, and 'dualinvestor' may be wrong. But please cite some evidence that 'dualinvestor' is wrong. Collateral is quite likely a 'one-off', being apparently a regulatory issue. Speculation and spreading alarm for no apparent reasons is unhelpful.

Thinking about it that's not possible in the current climate. I retract.

It is possible a large platform will fail but they all ave contingency plans at the moment we have nothing to suggest they ill not be sufficient. It is reckless to suggest otherwise. I eited my post within minutes of making it when I nòticed the error.

Thinking about it that's not possible in the current climate. I retract. Then your original post on the subject was ill advised. There cannot be rational discussion on speculative events. There are many factors that are unknown including most importantly whether it will happen and if it does who it will be. Such speculation will only cause panic and could be self fulfilling and damage otherwise sounder businesses. It is very difficult to see how your stated aim of "measures discussion" about the subject could be achieved in any circumstances let alone the febrile ones that exist at the moment.

Please ignore my apparent insouciance. It was intended more to underline the difficulty in establishing the underlying reality of an online experience. The loss of a highly regarded platform is real, and a serious and regrettable occurrence, which should make us question our beliefs - in a rational way. btc is probably just expressing the hope that further failures are confined to platforms which do not exist, and therefore cause no real loss.
