Hi, a bit of advice would be appreciated on the following.

I have a friend who is being advised by her friends, "a couple" to invest in Bitcoin. Seemingly they have around 2500 euro invested which is now worth an alleged 12000 euro.

I don't have a clue about investments and neither does she but I told her to hold off while I try to find out a little info.

She just told me there that the company her friends told her about was called USI Tech and a quick google suggests it's possibly a scam run by guys who have a "history".

Anyone any advice/experience here and on a related note does anyone recommend investing around 500 euro in some Bitcoin and if so, the best way to do that.
My friend is a Spanish national living here in Spain (not sure if that makes any difference).
Thanks.

Sounds like a pyramid scheme.

In order to earn commission on levels 2 – 12, you need to have 12 active Bitcoin packages. Once you have 12 packages, you will become a ‘distributor’. As the people you have referred also buy their 12 packages, they will become distributors. In other words to earn commission on the second level, you need to find 3 friends who are willing to buy 600 Euros worth of Bitcoin packages.

What is Nanny Statism and by what measure does it not work?
Lets look at road deaths. Through a series of measures enforcing behaviours on people against their will we have reduced road deaths to <10% of what they were in the 60's and 70's per KM driven.

Do you think it is wrong in principal that lifestyle choices that will, indisputibly, result in unnecessary and disproportionate costs on the health service be taxed so as to raise money for a service that is collapsing, right now, under the strain of the previous decades of Alcohol and tobacco use?

Whats the cut off point?
Should the government have issued a stay at home warning for the storm recently or was that Nanny Statism?
No swimming signs at dangerous beaches Yay or Nay etc. ad nauseam

Inevitably the way this goes is that people think they should be treated like an adult in their sphere but others should be controlled by the government. So, we should all be allowed gamble on poker and horses without limitations, but smokers, smokers should face punitive controls.

Harsh pen against the Nordies, but the commentators aren't half sour about it

A fun exercise is to guess how (and how quickly) it would have been rationalised if given the other way. Very soon it would have been that the cowardly defender should have kept his hands by his side like a man and thus it deserves to be a pen.

I know, ive actually had the pleasure of seen Charlie lose 2 times in person. His fail in the UFC is not surprising especially when they drug test fighters.

Hope the Referee sues Conor, seen as that seems the normal in the world we live in.

Still hoping Conor gets Irish business person of the year. Amizing communication, negotiation and marketing skills.

Just LOL at the media blowing up this bundee thing. Grand for Strauss, CJ and Payne but let's blow bundee up for one reason.

Ironically same articles creating controversy around Bundee are praising McKinleys call up for the Italian squad.

Bundee first try, EZ game.

Una has weighed in now https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/q...87204?mode=amp

She obviously completely missed the wxact same arguments being made against CJ standers inclusion.if anything people are being a bit more reserved about making same argument against Aki precisely because they don’t want to pop up on Unas Radar

Pretty sure i spotted you walking in (white t-shirt, right?) but i was behind a wall of people so couldn't lunge at you to say hello

My only criticism is that they deserve a better light show. The support band's was better.

Lol@ people trying to argue Ireland is not worse than most countries when it comes to drinking. Asked so often why Irish people get so drunk and so often with a genuine look of confusion from mainland Europeans. Poland beats us, that place is depressing.

As for binge drinking, it's defined that low because that low amount is doing damage - not healthy, it's twice the daily limit and even the daily limit is still carcinogenic (any amount is). It's not just about how drunk you get. You can binge drink without getting drunk as it's generally measured in two hour periods. So you are drinking twice the 24 hour limit in 2 hours.

You can binge drink without getting drunk because 'binge drinking' is two pince.

Reduce the speed limit to 10kph. I'm certain I've read you give out about speed limit reduction previously and nanny stateism.

Think I agree with 99.99% of strews lifeviews. Except on chavball. Love that beautiful game of balloon chess.

Indeed. I wondered just the other day if you two are the same person at different life stages, like the bbv has bended space and time and here you both co-exist.

Had an odd experience today (not related to stapler).

A student comes into my office and has as her opening gambit: "What star sign are you?" "Libra" I say, wondering where this is going but impressively not missing a beat in giving my response. "and what star sign are you?" I ask. "I'm Gemini" she says and seems very happy that the conversation is flowing so well. We look up the star signs on google and agree we both match what our star signs say. (she was 'oh that's so me', and I was more reluctant to be defined by a star). There's a bit more smalltalk and off she goes.

Still haven't worked out what that meant. I didn't act like we were having a weird conversation, but that was clearly a very weird conversation to be having.

Libra buds.

Try Sydney. No neat drinks after midnight, can't get in after 1.30, that includes not getting back in if going out for a smoke, max order four drinks at midnight, max two drinks after two.

yes

once you get inside the gates of the Pompei area, it's fine and fascinating

outside the gates is a bit scuzzy alright but you can just ignore it

Pompeii is incredible. You gotta go.

Bah Humbug! I'm off next week I have a pile of unused holidays to take or give up this year (Apparently I carried 27 days into this year LOL) and Pompeii would be close to the top of my list of things I'd like to do. I'm just completely weighed down with places to be and things to do that I can't get away at all.
Lucky Bastard, enjoy.

...while on holiday in Italy, it was great because I visited Pompeii while over there and getting to stand on the orators platform in the forum, knowing that Cicero most likely stood in that spot was absolutely amazing.
