How low will it go...
Will we actually see it sub 1 US dollar? I honestly don't know how this stuff works so if someone could explain.
....yes?

Actually nearing 20% since peak, 15% since market opening, yes
Yep. It will.
It is now at its second lowest since 1791. Only was it lower in 1985 when it dropped to 1.30USD
If a mod could update the title that would be great.

I think it a was in 1792 when the USD showed up if I'm not mistaken.
EDIT: I'm thinking of the coinage.

TIL that they've been tracking this stuff since 1791.
On this note, the BGP/USD exchange rate has been tracked near continuously since 1866 when the first transatlantic cable was reliably laid down.

Time to get Fun Bucks or Bison Dollars as currency.

At the risk of sounding decidedly out of touch, can anyone explain why this would be the case? I mean, I understand the second point, but why are people about to lose their homes? Maybe as a result from (again) the second point, but still.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Can someone explain what's happening to the uninitiated?

The proletariats are finally rising up!
To cut off their own face mostly it seems.
I actually don't know the general demographics voting 1 way or the other but assume the most of the middle class and all of the upper class would vote to stay in because of their investments/assets
The UK has all but voted to leave the EU. And its currency has now lost significant value.

The trick will be the timing. You'll want to get there when the Pound is reaching rock bottom, but before the country has devolved into a post-apocalyptic wasteland ruled by roving gangs of drunken football hooligans.
