Is anyone else picking up on the irony in the ads the banks are running at the moment for their switching facility. You may recall back in 2008 the banks royally shafted the financial system in this country (and others) so what do they pick for the backing track on the ads ..... The Theme From Shaft 😂😂😂

The one that drives me mad is the LBG one with the Carpenters theme - we've only just begun.

But being LBG they are too cheap to pay the license so have not used the original....bad cover and bad song choice

If you have a job, does your company pay you in Satoshis? Does it bother you that any bitcoin you had two months ago is now worth half as much today in Fiat?
