Obviously a coin you need to see in hand, know what you’re doing and if possible some good old provenance 🤔🤔

I was just about to post "Did I won yet!?"

Or fly a plane into us to hide their debt? £1,869.92

At least we're seeing this on the emergency page number for the U.S. Maybe they can make a plan 🤣

Freezer full of it. I just fancied something different. Going out for dinner tonight too, so expect another drop in spot

Bob ran out of onion soup clearly...

Wtf happened. 😤

@Aldebaran I’m good thankyou for asking

True love in those words mate £1,874.37

I was going to say it not what you say... But sometimes, I guess it is.

It's been obvious since they started talking about CBDCs 4 years ago that they'd need to try and force adoption. It's a potential solution to a problem that doesn't exist, that they'll manufacture

Sadly, 100% accurate summary

£1,870.40

Yep lining up the socks for another rug pull.. getting CBDCs in place to force us into them by destroying the high street banks. I've said this before. They'll collapse one high Street bank and then pay you out your FSCS insurance to a CBDC account as you can't trust the high Street banks now....

It’s Mrs Bobski’s birthday today. I was making her a rude card in the style of a ransom note. She’s going to love it!!

I've missed you

Sounds like touching yourself - just repeat that 2500 times...

Taken from the telegraph today. Millions of jobs will be at risk if a surge in lending by so-called shadow banks ends in disaster, a top Bank of England official has warned. Nathanaël Benjamin, executive director for financial stability, strategy and risk at Threadneedle Street, advised that runaway growth in lending by private equity companies is complex, opaque and potentially risky. The market has surged in size since the financial crisis, with private equity racing to fill the gaps and secure higher returns after traditional banks cut back. However, private credit is far less regulated than banking, and the authorities have less idea of the possible pitfalls. Mr Benjamin said: “With many UK companies (large and small) reliant on private markets for financing, a shock to this sector – driven by investor losses and/or a decreased appetite for private assets – could limit their ability to access the financing they need, which could lead to cutbacks in investment and employment.” He said that globally, private credit is worth $2 trillion (£1.6 trillion), with private equity investing £250bn in the UK. Together with their supply chains, British companies backed by private equity and venture capital employ 3.5 million people. Private credit refers to loans which are made by funds and individual businesses, rather than by banks or on the publicly traded bond markets. The jump in interest rates in the past two years has caught the industry by surprise, leaving indebted companies struggling with higher borrowing costs, and private equity companies stuck with few ways to sell off their assets. Default rates are rising as businesses fail to refinance or repay their debts. Mr Benjamin said: “Private equity is particularly vulnerable to this given its extensive use of leverage, and the illiquid nature of its investments. “Some companies sponsored by private equity have turned to refinancing solutions which delay crystallisation of risks. “That includes ‘amend and extend’ or ‘payment in kind’ agreements. While these agreements can help smooth through the stress, the risk is that the impact of higher rates is simply delayed, and an extension gives false comfort, increasing credit losses in the future.” The rise of private credit in part reflects a move away from bank lending in the wake of the financial crisis. However, many banks have subsequently been swept up into the industry by funding parts of private equity – raising new risks as the financial system becomes more complicated. Mr Benjamin said: “There are natural questions about the risks of these financing arrangements, and the growth in kinds and quantity of leverage, or ‘leverage on leverage’, throughout the ecosystem. “And I cannot resist pointing out the ironic contradiction in banks, on the one hand worried about the threat from non-bank players, but on the other hand keen to help them leverage themselves up.” But he conceded the system is opaque, which makes it hard for regulators to fully assess the risks or to identify what would happen in a new crunch. He added: “To be honest, in the same way as there is a lack of transparency in valuations, more generally data about the impact of private equity on the corporate sector is scarce, and it is difficult to assemble the overall picture.” This was the best comment I saw in the readers comments: IMF warning that the US borrowing and money printing is out of control, 1 trillion debt every 3 months, Gold surging, some claim the entire banking system in the west is insolvent. Do the wise thing, consider what assets you own, and what can withstand a massive financial shock ... a reckoning is coming that will make 2008 look like minor affair. Global war is not by accident, its playbook when the system is on the verge of collapse. In other words the elite are just waiting to manufacture the next "crisis" in the bid to gain total control. They are even telling us where they will target next - such is their arrogance.

He maybe had to replace that watermelon on his head?
