Looks like the bean counters at CBA couldnt resist the temptation any longer and are going to offer Crypto services to customers.
CBA reported that it is partnering with global crypto exchange Gemini and leading blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis to provide the mechanics to make it happen. From here I guess the other mainstream banks will join the party and offer same.
For me its gambling not investing but with CBA onboard it will give it some credibility and that means more mainstream suckers will part with their money trying to make a quick buck. Of course the Banks will suggest its a legit currency and offer customers the chance to make ordinary transactions/payments via Crypto accounts to make it more appealing to average joes and probably offer some incentives but I'm sure there will be a sting from the bank when you try and convert your Crypto into real bank dollars somewhere along the line. For those who want a less volatile investment on Crypto they might want to look at an ETF like Betashares(Crypt) which will hold companies delivering the technology that drive the sector rather than the currency itself.
Crypto market is meant to have market capital at about 2.5 trillion bucks so its no surprise that banks like CBA see a few dollars to be made by offering suckers the means to trade it...

I haven't had much time for Tim Smith but he went up in my estimation when he stood up to Bernie Finn, a relic of the religious right.

I suppose that the fact that Smith was the shadow Attorney-General despite not having a legal background is symptomatic of the poor numbers and lack of talent in the Victorian opposition.  However, his blustering, poorly constructed criticisms of the Government's legislative program were embarrassing and confirmed that the media is the real opposition to the Andrews's Government.

Getting p1ssed and smashing his car, fortunately with no injuries other than a severely bruised ego, was more than an error of judgement, as Smith described it.  It was the irresponsible act of a person who shouldn't hold public office.  He didn't even apologise to the owner of the car and house that he smashed into and implied that he hadn't caused any damage other than to his own car.

A police officer found to have the same blood alcohol reading as Smith would be sacked immediately.  Why shouldn't the same principles apply to those folk elected to make laws on our behalf?

Parliaments, State and Federal, are known for their drinking culture.  It's time for political leaders to say enough is enough and drop the mealy-mouthed platitudes that the Lobster uttered today  >

Very sad.
Thought after the operation on his leg he might be on the mend.
Not to be.
But a great showman and a great legacy in terms of entertainment and charity work.

A damning look at out last 20 years.

If you're a little overweight, have a family history of Type 2 diabetes, or have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, Michael Mosley's new series, Australia's Health Revolution on SBS, is well worth watching.

The first episode gave me a wake up call and I'll be doing my best to eat healthier food and do a little more exercise.

REALLY happy those two duckheads are now locked up in Perth for flaunting covid regs.

Suffer you smart ar$es

Watch this airline go bust ... 737 x 186 seats on regional routes?  These clowns know feck all about aviation and route densities.  No business plan, no schedule, no AOC, no reservations system, no gates, no check in systems, no fares, no clue.  Yank $ backed joke. 

He’s out because of a series of racist, misogynistic and homophobic comments in emails over a 7 year period as revealed by the NYT. Not great as around 70% of NFL players are black and the first and only openly gay player is on his team.
