Doesn't sound too likely at least for UK mortgages unless you lie to the lender on the purpose of raising capital (commit mortgage fraud).

Residential mortgages are regulated and raising capital for "speculative investments" isn't something lenders typically allow, geared investing like that isn't likely to be considered responsible lending even if it's technically affordable.

It was apparently something being pushed quite a lot on Fox News channels in the US, so I've little sympathy for that audience :slol:

Quite normal to pay off credit card debt when remortgaging, placing it on the lower rate mortgage. For people who have decent equity in their home, I imagine it's quite easy to do.

Dumb, but easy.

Not sure if serious.

Spend your healthcare premiums on NFTs to fly to the state where you can exercise control over your own body, based on the advice of someone on Twitter. This is 2021.

Pentagon finds concerning vulnerabilities on blockchain

A report commissioned by the Pentagon concluded that the blockchain is not decentralized, is vulnerable to attacks and is running outdated software.

Trail of Bits says that it only takes four entities to disrupt Bitcoin and only two to disrupt Ethereum. Additionally, 60% of all Bitcoin traffic moves through just three ISPs.


Dat secure blockchain :datass:

I feel like I am just opening this thread every couple of days to half arsedly mock the crypto space - but more particularly NFTs. Yet they make it so easy.
