The Threatening Implications of Cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrencies are best thought of as fiat currencies without a country backing them.   A fiat currency is one in which the money is not based on a valuable commodity like gold or silver but on something of little or no intrinsic value such as paper money or coins made with base metal.  It is made legal tender by law.  Its market worth is based on confidence, both domestic and international.   That confidence is a reflection both of how the currency actually performs,  the regulatory regime which governs the currency and the general standing of the issuing authority which is…

Theresa  May and the attempted murder of  Brexit – Part Five

 [Ed: This is the final part of this series by Robert Henderson.] The future If the negotiations continue as they have to date with May conceding ground time and time again the UK will probably be in a  Hotel California situation of booking out but never being able to leave.
