Premium Bonds

[Leon103]

The way I look at it, if I don't win as much as I would have earned in an ISA, I'm paying the difference for the chance to win big.
And I don't need to keep an eye on interest rates and move things around if they change.
If I was much younger I would consider ISAs.

I never hear of people buying them these days, seemed more popular years ago, hence my reservation. I usually lock my isa in so no need to check interest rates.
May look to buy some bonds to see how it goes, I like a surprise win, hence my fascination with crypto

Crypto?
Do tell more. Unless there is a thread already on the subject?
Easy to buy and sell? Commission paid?

I first became aware of bitcoin in 2011 on the security now podcast.
I thought that sounds very interesting but I missed the boat.

How long you got.
Not as easy as it was, should be, or will be in the future.
There is still a lot of scams about so join a trusted exchange such as binance. So many projects which is off putting. Most likely missed the boat on the current run, although about 10 months ish left of it. Anything bought now would be for long term.
No commission, you pay a gas fee, usually pence on a transaction.
