It is frightening to think how much money is held in digital currencies like Bitcoin which possess no true value but are only worth what they are worth because people believe they are worth what they are worth.

Looks like the decision about whether to leave the other site has been taken for me.
No details given as to what I'm supposed to have done. I havn't posted anything hateful - indeed I havn't posted anything lately.
I can submit an appeal but I don't know what I'm appealing against. Totally Kafka.
