@Memo: I really like the "Dashboard -> Everyone" page. May I suggest that we make that part of the frontpage/landing page. It immediately shows a first time visitor the full activity of the site.
In centralized companies jobs are also centralized. In decentralization, we have 2 B our own self-starters, split up those centralized jobs. Please help backup Memo: https://github.com/memocash/memo/archive/master.zip
Decentralization means ME, YOU, everyone, becoming an employee doing some small job. Google/Twitter pays 100s of guys to do their backups. Who will help me backup Memo today? git clone https://github.com/memocash/memo
Never realized that the long term plan may be to eliminate on-chain transactions other than LN settlements, also a bit of K, K, K action in the URL, ominous.
Not saying he is correct, I just felt it had to be archived. Even if they force BTC to only be an onramp, and ban all offloading via BTC, we still have BCH and other BCH Based Tech.
@OffGuardian0: However you feel about #AlexJones... the most worrying aspect is that these supposedly independent companies #Apple#Google- all took the same exact action on the same exact day.
Epic throwdown by user/wisequote. http://redd.it/955dlb "BashCo and team, open modlogs on r/bitcoin or forever shut the fuck up about rBitcoin being a safe haven for debates." MEMO is watching.
Capitalism IS the answer, we've just been doing it wrong. Our current way sucks all money into the hands of fat-cats. "Shares for everyone, everywhere, always" should fix a ton of problems.
More buyers, more producers, and most importantly, very happy employees. If you know you will automatically share in the profit, wouldn't you actually ENJOY your job and be PROUD?
The extra billions will create a very strong middle class, who can all go out and buy stuff. This makes it easier to start a profitable business since there are many many buyers. Win-Win.
And imagine all the thousands and thousands of companies all sharing their profit with every employee. How much money would you push back into the economoy? Billions upon billions.
Imagine every cameraman, every make-up artist, every runner, every CGI artist, all sharing in the profit of Netflix. That's 558.9M extra in the economy.
Now imagine every Walmart employee sharing in the $13.46B 2017 profit (that's after everyone, including the CEOs, got paid). That's $13B extra in the economy.
No socialist system would ever spend time on making an XBOX, a PS4, no Fortnite, no PUBG. No Minecraft. Let that sink in for a while. Do you Socialists want to live in that world?
In it's basic form, capitalism isn't the enemy. Capitalism gave us Intel, it gave us Apple. It gave us Sony, the PS4. It made Lambo's and Ferrari's possible.
The idea is that companies are mini Socialistic groups all competing against each other in a Capitalistic system, while not discriminating against the poor.
The longer you work for a Capita-socialism company, the more shares you get. Shares decay at a certain rate when you leave, which will help you stay afloat while looking for the next company.
Of course, the CEO will get more shares than the worker (otherwise no-one would aspire to be great), and lawmakers would set fair percentages for all types of work.
In Capita-Socialism, companies are forced to issue profit shares to everyone, because everyone, from the window washer to the CEO helped contribute to the profit of the company.
Be careful of thinking only "Capitalism" OR "Socialism". They want you to think, "either, or". Think out the box. Mix and match. Evolve. Example: A Capital Socialistic Economy.
What is everyone's thoughts on the bitcoin.org forking?
He means "Forking" as in "Blockstream wants a new site & drive traffic there". My thoughts: it demonstrates how they want to control the narrative. Blockstream IS the centralization.
The fact that they censored all opposing views on /r/bitcoin and bitcointalk tells me that LN wasn't the best solution. If it was, it wouldve naturally gravitated to the top. LN is manufactured consent at it's finest
FNH: The NYT: Paul Krugman: "The US debt surpasses $29 trillion and why that is a good thing. Debt, Diversion, Distraction". Blah blah Keynesian Economics Blah "only 145% of GDP".
FNH: "Don't miss the historical final transmission. After years of fake news, fake poll numbers and lying by omission, battered CNN is forced to declare bankruptcy. "
