Hello dear Sandra, happy new year. Yes it feels sometimes surreal - no wonder if we talk about digitalisation. Some things are simply difficult to integrate. Even when we discuss future subject and trying to comprehend them it still stays on a intelectual level. Maybe things will turn out very practical and more comprehendable when we will use them day to day. You are not allone with your feelings. I and also some others of our community can totally relate to it. Warm greetings, Rose
2020-01-02 17:24:23 +0000 UTCHappy New year to you all and thank you for updates. Revolut add today in their services for free option to buy cripto currency, as before for that you would need to pay £6.99 per month...and the change began.
2020-01-01 22:10:43 +0000 UTCHappy New Year - the the CryptoViewing team --- thank you for you energy, time and knowledge! .... and as these changes that I have been looking at for quite awhile get close, it is more surreal than I thought it would be and a bit frightening.
2020-01-01 21:19:05 +0000 UTCWe are at the doorway of adoption. Fasten your seat belts... could be a bumpy ride.
2020-01-01 20:32:11 +0000 UTCThank you and happy new year! Cheers, Rose
