    I know, i know, I know

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.

    Joe doesn't understand cryptocurrency.
    He hasn't offered the usual botched opinion.


    Money trail! This is so so funny.
    Bag of cash!!! Does he think this is going end with a briefcase left in a park under a bench?

    Have to laugh at Liveline callers ringing in with ideas on how to catch these guys, as if none of the cybersecurity experts have thought of these things!

    advise to Joe's OAP fans on computer related matters. Before you call in, check in with one of your children or grandchildren to see if this will sound idiotic on the national airwaves

    dont try that line in the crypt threads on here according to them blockchain is more traceable than money. (which is obviously why the criminals use it so much)

    I remember being on board a flight Dublin to Southampton and when the engines were started up the Flight Management System did not load. Captain came on the intercom and announced "iIm going to reboot the computer by restarting the engines, so it's Control+Alt+Delete to see if we can fly!"

    Tbh with some of the people I have worked with...the place would be a lot happier and safer if they werent allowed near a pc or laptop....maybe give them an abacus.
    The majority of viruses in my experience...people opening emails they shouldn't...people clicking on ads/sites they shouldnt.
    There can be a serious lack of common sense, I worked in a place where we called them an ID-10-T....issue...
