    Ceilings aren’t easy, but if it is just painting then it isn’t that difficult, just time consuming. A landlord should let you paint if it is a neutral sort of colour.

  • yeah but they are tangible. Bitcoin is all online. Its only a matter of time before some other wizz cracks the code, gets ALL the bitcoins and blablabala. Happens all the time with banks now, cause of the digital money..but you cant physically remove a house or a field.

  • Nope. Don’t get it. Don’t trust it. All i see is some mental IT person sitting back laughing his head off that all these people are putting billions into his account, thinking they are investing.
