meet my JGV's brother --> ZDG

Finally this weekend i brought my car from London to here. Drove 4 hrs to York yesterday and today continue another leg to Edinburgh. I so love the car!!!The pick up is so good, there is little effort to speed up. It so stable to run . The suspension is way better than kelisa (ok kelisa was 13 yrs car so cannot compare la kan). Music connection to spotify was superb and I love the sat nav. It so accurate on which junction to turn. I used to watch the waze/gps rather than listening to instruction. But with this GPS, i felt it can be trusted. One happy bird... Only concern, i think the car is slightly bigger .. hahaha so i do feel that i will struggle to park.
This weekend the weather is not so good so I don't plan to have much stop but the route from Newcastle to Edinburgh surprisingly quite scenic. So meet ZDG exactly at scotland/England border.. The temperature was so cold!!!.. -5.5c but lucky no snow!!

bitcoin - cryptocurrency

I heard this bitcoin last year when i join meetup grp on conversation. One of the guy was doing software on bitcoin. Other ppl seems to be interested with it but I don't know what the heck of it so I googled. But what more interesting to me is the guy that invent bitcoin is a mystery guy. Nobody really know who he is. Anyway a year passed and suddenly this year cikpah asked me if i knew anything abt bitcoin. The only thing i remember is that mystery guy. Apparently bitcoin trading has been kind of popular investment throughout the world even in Malaysia.. maybe in Asia. The price has been surge up like thousand % compare to last year. WOWW.. I just missed the boat. Anyway since my journey of finding more money to fund my cooper, i started to put some money in bitcoin. In Islam, doing any investment with speculative nature can be treated as gambling and kind of Haram. So in order to halal my greedy :p, i try to understand this what crypto world..  I do convince, this is where the world is heading just I'm not so sure which currency will win the war. Currently I only look at bitcoin, litecoin and ethereum. To be honest, I felt bitcoin has so many bottle neck that i don't think it will win but somehow it has the highest growth. Maybe because it the first so many platform support bitcoin. Just imagine, i try to transfer bitcoin and it cost RM24.. It quite expensive to be use as normal transaction. Anyway, i check the meetup group as well. It seems ppl here more interested on the technology itself rather the trading. I signed up for a few lecture on bitcoin and even buy the bitcoin book.. walau x tau bila la nk pergi... this is what i love being in Edinburgh.. you have access on all those lecture pretty easily. ahhaha.. i felt so pump up.
