Just thought i would start a thread where you can post and discuss alternative financial news that flies under the radar and often doesn't make it into the papers or the news web sites...

Going to kick off with the growth of finTech ( financial technology ) and Blockchain . As you can see in the bulletin below, its big coin.

Anyone for a slice of Pizza ?


Today, bitcoiners the world over will celebrate the anniversary of the most expensive pizzas in history.

Bought on 22nd May 2010 by Laszlo Hanyecz, the programmer paid a fellow Bitcoin Talk forum user 10,000 BTC for two Papa John’s pizzas. Back then – when the technology was just over a year old – that equated to roughly $25, but is $5.12m by today’s exchange rate.

At bitcoin’s all-time high last December, the pizzas would have been worth an eye-watering $11.47m, making them likely candidates for the most expensive pizzas of all time.

Now widely recognised as the first real-world transaction with bitcoin, May 22nd has come to celebrate 'Bitcoin Pizza Day', with cryptocurrency enthusiasts raising a slice to Hanyecz’s infamous hunger pangs that paved the way for early merchant adoption. :LOL: :LOL:

I just love this story: http://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/773196/Moon-Cannot-go-aliens-NASA


"A growing conspiracy theory suggests the Moon is occupied by advanced aliens that have banned humans from returning. The theory links in with others that claim there are alien bases on the dark side of the Moon."

Two people have been accepted to fly around the moon on a pleasure flight next year...Unfortunately they must undergo intense training which includes flying the space craft :LOL: would love to read the small print on that holiday.

Unbelievable! All the early astronauts were test pilots (the absolute cream of the race) and they underwent a massive amount of training. It's scary enough when Joe blogs trainee pilot gets into his Cessna at the local airfield. The mind boggles :LOL:
