Read about it when the CEO was all over the news with his 'dynamic' new idea of bringing in 'regular' investors Pre-IPO. Stunk of under subscriptions by major investors - so stayed well away. If something seems too good to be true, it normally is!Who's in on deliveroo ?
this was a good shout. Big tech recovering nicely now thoughMight be a big tech wobble on the way. Australia stance (with FB/Google etc) is likely to be followed by other countries. The Uber ruling today which I’m guessing is likely to impact Amazon delivery drivers etc. Social media not addressing racism/abuse
About time some of them got taken down a peg or two and started properly paying their way. Will be interesting to see what happens to share values etc in coming days/weeks/months but could be a ripple especially in US
ps Uber ruling is not without its knock on negative impact to drivers etc though
Robotics is going to be huge, IMO, over the next decade. A good way to hedge your bets is to buy a fund. There are two exchange traded funds, RBOT and RBTX which, despite the odd blip, have been rising steadily since they started. They are currently not at peaks so if I had some money I'd buy some more.
I don't get the automation through Robotics of administrative tasks. They were doing it in the company I last worked for and had a team of people getting the Robot to enter data from one system to another (there is nothing physical, there is a program which interacts with a computer screen). It took a long time and was expensive to build and it's quite slow for the robot to complete the entry. I just kept thinking why don't they just build a feed from system A to system B? I think it was just a fad... seen it many times before.
so you're telling me my Mum wont be able to fiddle my books for much longerNot sure what you were doing, but as an example as a small business we used to have a finance lady that came in to do reconciliation and invoicing, paid her maybe £8k/year? Just replaced her with a Xero/Chargebee integration costing us nothing
Modern billing, accounting, CRM, marketing, etc software just works with each other with a click for basic integration. The days of linking huge bespoke systems together are long gone for any startup.
The productivity gains from software really come once it matures and starts to standardise, that’s where we are with most cloud business systems these days, with tools like IFTTT and Zapier meaning you can create automation without any technical knowledge.
That’s the stuff that’ll make the difference. Not the flashy lights off warehouses or self driving delivery trucks, but a million finance ladies or admin temps doing jobs that are easily automatable with little effort in existing systems.

From reading I think we're talking about the same thing. What you describe sounds like an interface between two systems, not what I was calling Robotics.
RPA = Robotic Process Automation, my robotics lecturer would agree not actually robotics as doesn’t have a physical presence, but that’s what they’re calling it
Cant trade it on coinbase atm because of the SEC action. Did you buy a while back or getting it somewhere else?XRP is on a run and dosn't show any sign of stopping - I am up 345% in two months!

Do you think the banks will ever allow 'Bitcoin' to overtake currency?
Can Bitcoin Kill Central Banks?
Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency that operates without government or central bank oversight. Central banks and regulators are keeping a close eye on it.www.investopedia.com
Not saying i disagree, but what are some of the fundamental flaws?Bitcoin has too many fundamental flaws to ever be used as currency really. It’s a value store right now, I can’t see it ever going beyond that. Etherium I think it’s better designed for actual use.

Back when I put my money where my mouth was....I put the lions share into IOTA as its quicker and no mining involved due to the transaction security protocols being carried by the sender....or something like that....I do recall that Bosch innovations arm invested just after me so I thought I'd nailed it....then the crash.
Just back in the black on IOTA.
I also bought stellar back in the day cos it was like
stella.
XRP is down 7% on Coinbase, is this a good sign to buy some, or does it just demonstrate how volatile it can be?XRP is on a run and dosn't show any sign of stopping - I am up 345% in two months!
I have $50 in that just in case it goes to even 1% of the value of bitcoin but that really is just a gamblealso bought stellar back in the day cos it was like

You seem to know your economics so help me out here, am I being dumb (i did do an msc in econ but I’ve basically forgotten everything).Transaction speed mostly stop it being used seriously, also size of blockchain and energy needed to mine.
Still available on etoroCant trade it on coinbase atm because of the SEC action. Did you buy a while back or getting it somewhere else?
All crypto is highly volatile, just need to be clever when to pull outXRP is down 7% on Coinbase, is this a good sign to buy some, or does it just demonstrate how volatile it can be?
No i am in for the long run, hoping it will hit $10+ in a few yearsYou set a sell price?

Annoyingly I cashed out on Ether at $19 when I got in at $12 - its now $24 and risingThat's my strategy. Not put enough in to make it worth taking profits and reinvesting short term.
I'm up on all 3 I've invested so hopefully that continues.
just need to be clever when to pull out
Started trading at $381 - over 50% above the reference price, will wait for it to drop sub 300 I thinkCoinbase floated yesterday. Nice way to get into the 'crypto' play under an ISA. Tempting
