Improve your English vocabulary and speaking with 6 Minute English from the BBC.
It’s something that makes the world go round, but it doesn’t really exist. In fact, if we all stopped believing in it, it would have no use at all! It is, of course, money. But not just any money, in this 6 minute English, we'll be talking about the infamous Bitcoin. A digital crypto-currency. Is it the same as 'real' money? Can it be trusted? Is it safe? Dan and Neil discuss the issue and teach you six items of vocabulary.

Honetly i enjoyed listening to it. That was awesome in my opinion. Such a great topic to talk over with people. I am on here. I've know a lot about digital currencies here. I think one of the digital currencies are investments. They are so similar to compare with each other. They have many commons at least like both of them are sold online and we can't carry on the bags or pockets. Bitcoins don't always put up but also go down in statistics. It happens sometimes,mayne not in regular time and often. If i had a money maybe i would buy it. Thanks BBC💗

Hi beautiful people! Neil,perharps i can help you! I think i've solved Dan's kriptic riddle! The answer is... the heart! Because poor people are generous even if they don't have enough to share, rich ones should understand that they can be richer and richer if they spread love around the world and finally....you can't eat it! It keeps you alive! Am i right about it? Dan, can you guess mine? It's an invisible ghost which flies above us... we call it and we pray it...it borns every night and it dissolves when the dawn comes...what is it? :-) :-) :-)

We’re glad you like the video. In British spelling, it is ‘recognise’.

Hi mo2a. These videos have subtitles. There is an option on the video player to turn the subtitles on and off. In any case, you'll find the script here: www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/6-minute-english/ep-180104

Questions:what's the conversation that Neil says:'that make a nice --change-- ' has any thing to do with" pun", which makes them laugh?

@jasonbury1647 6 жыл бұрын

Change means 'becoming different' and also it means 'coin currency'.

So what is the answer to : what do rich people need, poor people have, and if you eat it, you die?

@jakkrapatk 6 жыл бұрын

Bitcoin now is not legal tender and currency to use in particular country so you cannot use it to pay taxes or settle debts. It's so skeptical and its value fluctuates. I may wait and see. A fool and his money are soon parted!
