Starting to feel like some kind of parallel universe now...

What are the ways of using bitcoin now in real life. Is our options 1. To sell to other people for real money and then use that 2. Use bitcoin directly to purchase things?

It seems there is many people using it to launder illegal money.

I believe bitcoin is a bubble but will start to go down slowly year by year if there isn't major organisations that allow it to be used day to day.

In other good news...

I was clearing down an old USB hard drive earlier and found the backup of an old Feathercoin wallet which had 3000 FTC in there!

I gave up on feathercoin in '15 when the price sank to $.00002 and I forgot all about the coins I still had, but it's trading at $.30 now.

That's good going...  nice little stash you have there.

Mining Monero XMR the last three weeks, and the last few days the price hike has added more to the value of my pot than I'm mining. But its fluctuating so much that everytime I get another block and payout, and price change downwards almost cancels it out.

But slowly but surely, 0.63xxx XMR mined in almost three weeks, but its seems its started to slow already. Current value £130, so more than the hoped £100/month (but only because XMR price), but its not something that will allow me to retire anytime soon
Will be interesting to see whether I can get a consistent 0.75 XMR per month as I predicted after the first month.

But the funny thing... the Sapphire Vega 64 I bought appears to have shot up in value more than I've made mining...  because of mining!

Arrhh mining the wrong coin!!

                                                                               

Massive gains on most crypto..  but LTC is unbelievable!

Mined XMR now worth £180 in 3.5 weeks, but terrible luck with blocks today.

My LTC is doing very well.  Very interested in Ripple at the moment, as it is edging towards mainstream adoption by financial services, over the coming months.  Looks primed in my opinion.

Ripple price currently $0.56.  BUYING.
