Can't buy any as I don't think my heart could stand the stress of watching the rollercoaster

Shame I didn’t buy much last year. I have been tracking a few crypto currencies since last year, SOL, BTC, ETH, CRO, DOGE, LTC, SNX, ATOM. If you have well diversified and bought them last year, it would be pretty nice by now. Only ATOM and LTC are underperforming, 8% and -0.62%. SOL up 499% within one year

My neighbour bought one bitcoin for 1800€, "in case it turned out to be something". Several years ago that was and he scrapped a computer, forgot it had the ownership key. He just laughs about it and is resigned to being forever a fool. But is there no way of accessing the legendary blockchain and proving ownership? Quick scan of Google, he's right, there's nothing you can do.

Quick scan of Google, he's right, there's nothing you can do. Small fry. From Nov 23 (before the rate went through the roof again):
James Howells, 38, has spent the last decade trying to retrieve a discarded hard drive reportedly containing 8,000 units of the coveted cryptocurrency. He said it was worth £4m when it was mistakenly binned, but now estimates its value to have risen to around £227m.
But for 10 years Newport council has refused an excavation of the tip site.
Apparently he has narrowed down the location of the hard drive to a section of the tip containing 100,000t of rubbish.

 when will he give up this pointless exercise 1) its possible the Hard drive is physically in bits 2) its possible that the hard drive is intact and the data is recoverable 3) its possible someone took it and reused it 4) it's possible someone spotted it and chucked it in the scrap metal for recycling 5) its possible that there are multiple drives in there all of which would need to be examined

Then he can investigate it to his heart's content...

You need bottle with P2P lending too, with a very high ratio of borrowers not paying back when they said they would and with P2P platforms sometimes suddenly going bust at the drop of a hat. The bit that UK P2P lending doesn't factor into the returns is the very high risk of losing all or most of one's capital when there is a platform failure etc. Therefore, P2P returns of, perhaps, 3% p.a. above inflation and after tax are not worth the risk? Whereas with Crypto, the extremely high risk is at least counterbalanced with potentially massive returns.
