Bring primary back on the 8th of March and then phased return for secondary with the whole show back by Easter.
Is that the inside scoop or just what's been in media?

No it's not costing you anything sitting there. There is a network fee if you move it to a wallet or another exchange.
As I said above you could earn interest on it somewhere else if it's just sitting there but obviously you should find out if what you would gain would offset the cost of moving it.
If it's on Coinbase and you don't want to move it you could swap some of it for Algorand (ALGO) or Tezos (XTZ). Coinbase are paying interest on those if you hold them there. Algorand is doing really well price wise lately.
Not financial advice.

I use Coinbase, Coinbase pro and Binance. From what I understand with Revolut you are investing in their BTC fund on their platform and you don't actually own it and withdraw it. I could be wrong now but that's how it was anyway at first.
I think you're right. What is the difference in Coinbase, Coinbase pro and Binance? And what's the advantages for the part time messer like myself over Revolut?
Coinbase is very user friendly and good for beginners. But fees are ridiculous for buying but you can swap between coins for almost nothing.
Coinbase pro is more advanced but fees are relatively low.
Coinbase have a limited range of coins and trading pairs.
It also has a reputation of crashing when bitcoin makes a big move which isn't helpful if you're looking to make a quick sale.
Binance is the biggest trading platform and has a huge range of coins and trading pairs. Fees are reasonable.
If you're a beginner be aware of what you are buying as bitcoin and etherium have fees associated with moving them off the exchanges to a wallet. These fees can be very expensive especially with etherium or any coin that is based on it (called erc20 coins). This probably isn't a problem on revolut but if you're using Binance or Coinbase it's advised not to leave your coins on them for too long but you need to factor in the cost of moving your crypto.

I am all for shopping locally, but at the end of the day the price is going to be the deciding factor in where I buy my groceries.
I would have shopped in my local supermarket for years, then I tried Sainsburys and bought the same items and the price difference was roughly £15 - £20. Over the course of the year that accrues to some saving like.
I do have a distain for the big supermarkets and how they capture your data and analyse it to market you better, and also how they create their own branded products based off of what people are purchasing, they are trying to monopolise the food industry in that regard. But, as the main breadwinner in my family, I have to do what is financially best for my family.
I have a friend who is a butcher and I will always give him a turn though, even though I know I could get, say a box of chicken for £7 cheaper elsewhere, that would be a concession of mine.

You could say that restrictions would be removed when cases were x or whatever. However, it is hard to give definite values for these things, in these islands the whole Christmas thing was derailed by a combination of people pushing the envelope and the arrival of the new variant.
Quote from: armaghniac on January 22, 2021, 11:40:55 AMQuoteAlso, I find it particularly frustrating that we have no indication of forward planning, (short of ring the army) as an example, we are seeing daily that certain hospitals are over 100% capacity, while others are not - the north is a small place in the grand scheme of things, can we not move patients around, we don't see the capacity of the nightingale facilities, how are they being used etc.
I presume they would move patients around if it helped. The Nightingale idea doesn't work because there aren't enough staff to go around, especially as many staff are isolating.

That bugs me, not the DUP (well they do), but the blame on the people, all the time.
If you keep blaming the people it only ends one way.
The amount of people I hear daily saying "it's them oul house parties....". Look, of course there are parties going on. But Jesus Christ, just think about it. You would think that every 2nd house in the North was pumping then people just regurgitate that yet your local Tesco is just as "gathered" from open to close and not a word of it because it's allowed.
I haven't been to a party lately, but recalling such things they are nothing like going to Tesco. In Tesco you wear a mask, you may pass people in the aisle but you quickly move on and the whole thing takes 30 mins. The whole idea of a party is to meet people and talk to them, not at all like shopping. So this comparison is bollix.QuoteThey have yet to twig that when you stop people doing anything, you force their hand. The next few months will certainly now see compliance plummet to minimal levels.
You don't "force their hand", they can just do what needs to be done. People do not drive down one way streets the wrong way because they want to make a point, such things exist for good reason.
All that is needed is a bit of responsibility for a few months, things will be greatly eased in summer in any case.

Is everyone not going a bit over the top with the Israel data. The chief scientific officer still seemed pretty confident yesterday leaving it for the 10 -12 weeks. I know you couldn't trust the politicians as far as you could throw them but surely the top medics and scientists aren't just winging it.
Also if lockdown was based on the numbers in hospital going down to a certain number, say 500 for example. What happens when they go back up to 510 or 550 or 600 ? To put an exact number on anything makes life very difficult for the decision makers and as we have inept decision makers surely this wouldn't be a good thing.
Quote from: mackers on January 22, 2021, 09:43:27 AMQuote from: johnnycool on January 22, 2021, 09:35:30 AMThe Israel figure of 30% immunity is based on the Pfizer jab not the AstraZeneca one. The AstraZeneca one was trialled with a longer break so the data is there for a decent immunity level after the first jab. It appears as if winging it with a bigger gap between the doses on the Pfizer jab is the wrong call. They did this without any trial data.
Took my Dad in for his first vaccination yesterday.
He got the Astro Zenica one and isn't due to get the second dose till the first week in April, 10 weeks away.
So, if we're being told that the first dose may only offer 30% of immunity based on the figures coming out if Israel and then it takes a further 10 days after the second dose to get the immunity up into the high 90's (this was initially based on the two doses being three weeks apart though) and my Da's circumstances are the norm, then I think we're going to be in lockdowns of one form or another till mid to late April...

You can spend more for Touch or Oracle for the gadgets, but can't imagine the coffee will taste different albeit I'm sure they introduce a bit more automation to the process. Know a few people with them and say they're the business.
Any good recommendations for a decent coffee machine. Money isn't a problem because il save it in a year. Spending a minimum of a tenner a week, sometimes twenty thas last year
