    Thanks, will have to get my CMC account up and activated again... cheers

    (did not know they had possible shorts on AIR, but good to know. Should really have a look at their trading possibilities)

    AIR really need to pull their finger out and issue AIRCoins

    They already have their own cryptocurrency mate, its called Airpoints...pretty useful things to have I have a few hundred, wish I had more.

    Yes but nobody really that keen on those sort of things .... they want real crypto stuff


    Wonder what the Airpoints 'business' is worth

    Agree - Airpoints are useful and more currency than probably all of the crypto's (you even can buy something of worth with them), but they are not crypto ; The information is stored in some boring old centralized databases controlled by AIR. No need for a wallet or funny crypto-keys to spend them either - and hey, they don't go up and down in worth like an out of control bungee, but they are nice and steady ...

    ...and every now and again they take airpoints away from the punters

    Pretty reasonable expiry timeframe though. Use them or lose them after a few years. Speaking of expiry...last chance to sell with a $3 handle for quite some time ?
    They reckon this is a scary landing ? https://www.msn.com/en-nz/news/natio...cid=spartandhp

    Capitalising on the current hype of cryptocurrency (although technically that terms is a misnomer), or blockchain would be the best strategic move AirNZ could make.
