    stopme's artwork has a negative value.

    I know nothing about it but feel the best way to learn is to dip in one’s toe. I remember when Bitcoin first appeared and was worth a few dollars per coin and people offering daft services for them like give me 1 Bitcoin and I’ll make you a sandwich. I just thought load of bollox, wish I’d bought £100 worth now. This gives me another way to punt and I can hold on to stuff for decades without any fees. At least, that is my understanding.

    I’m not sure if I’ve any talent but having just been away for a week and popped in a few galleries where the stuff on display is the usual mediocrity: beach/water scenes, animals, countryside, buildings, portraits and abstracts that could have been done by a toddler I feel that I’m at least attempting to make art that is interesting and different. Unfortunately the hoi polloi seem to like the aforementioned mediocrity.

    Can you talk me through how to get it I may as well waste £100 on this rubbish too .

    Last time I tried to buy bitcoin for buying drugs from Silk Road I had to download Tor and upload my passport or some **** .

    The FBI busted the owner and gave him about 500 years jail or some nonsense

    Metamask is where I created the wallet, wyre to transfer money in then to get the right link to swap it look at posts on Reddit. I soon established that there are numerous fake tokens called Million that are not the the real thing ie not the one setup as a joke, these were setup as a scam but the values are different. The value of the real one is about $78.

    Probably better off sticking £100 on Norwich to win the Prem.

    Until his death.

    The artwork of dead artists, regardless of how bad they are, goes up in value.

    So, what we thinking? How can we kill him without looking like murder?

    However you bump him off don't make the mistake of burying him with any metallic objects secreted on his person.

    You never know when some boring ****wit scrap metal detectorist comes stumbling along looking for hidden treasures.

    You don't buy nor sell bitcoin. That is impossible. There is no banking institution globally that will deal them.

    There's a fake broker who will offer to take your money in exchange of 'shares' in the brokerage of what is tantamount to futures gambling on a fund that is wholly owned by guess who?

    The talk of the town, I'll definitely be referring to this in my revised artist statement.

    I'll buy your art. Better investment than crypto.

    What can I get for a fiver?

    A blank canvas. Add another fiver and it'll cover the cost of the paint.

    Not abstract though, somewhere between symbolism and street-art. I've been reading-up on this ****.
