Wearing a pressure suit to go outside on Mars is no worse than wearing a coat to go outside in winter - without it you'll die, but you have one, so just wear it.
Without artificial life support (clothes, buildings, AC/heating), whole cities would become uninhabitable - naked people would freeze in winter and roast in summer.
Also, LightRider, way to play into the stereotype of communists sending people they disagree with to gulags and penal colonies in inhospitable climates like Siberia/Mars...
Maybe people don't disagree with you because they're intrinsically different/inferior. I fit the same MBTI profile as you but have polar opposite views on economics and the balance of state power.
At the same time, every single MBTI test I've taken over the past 7 years labelled me an INTJ. I fit the archetype too (introverted researcher in a physical science).
LightRider, I've disagreed with you completely over in the Capitalism/Communism topics. You've conversed/argued with me, maybe getting frustrated in the process.
Memo spam is on-chain spam. By the rules of the game (praise Satoshi), this helps BCH. It supports $BCH price through demand and helps secure the network by financially supporting miners through fees.
As far as I can tell, there's no technical reason this wouldn't work, just a buttload of regulation/KYC required to use the legacy credit card network.
No physical credit cards are issued, the credit card info of the company is communicated by NFC and is anonymous from a user standpoint.
Tap on the NFC reader, company credit card gets charged $5, app deducts $5 in BCH from your exchange balance. Company makes profit from a small margin on the exchange rate.
I would really like a mobile app that was a mix of handcash and Android/Apple pay. User fills exchange address with crypto, can pay in fiat via NFC readers everywhere.
You get the point i was trying to make.
Of course, just dropping some truth bombs about how woke Robin Hood was about the fact that
#TaxationIsTheft
Knowing your smug ass @LR you probably thought you were pulling some robinhood shit taking from the rich and giving to the poor (Yourself? I guess?) reality is quite the opposite.
Robin Hood was a libertarian hero - he stole from the state to give back to the taxpayer.
You just said workers get "murdered for questioning the capitalist system", but now you're saying the capitalists will be murdered as if it's a good thing for people to be murdered over ideology
Flew back to Shanghai. Here at home for 4 days before I go off to RISE CONFERENCE! Hope I get to meet Vitalik Buterin and shake his hand!
Just don't ask for a selfie - he has to refuse because scammers will try to use a selfie to promote their scam ICO by claiming Vitalik is consulting with the team or involved somehow.
Awww, Tell the people who work for Foxconn that they have a high standard of living:
Life in China's rural communities is no more glamorous or comfortable
No, it's actually less Communist since Mao died but it's more than most countries. It's in the Capitalist cites where people continue to be impoverished.
You must be trolling. If you knew anything about China, you'd know that the rural population is poorest and city dwellers have the highest incomes and highest standard of living.
The Chinese have less poverty because they have less Capitalism. They only have Capitalism in a few cities while the rest is Socialist. So less Capitalism = Less Poverty
You seriously think that China has become MORE communist since Mao died and that's why there's less poverty?
Free trade? Ha! If trade was free BCH wouldn't need to exist now would it? And China was Communist during that time and that's why people got lifted out of poverty there.
WTF? Do you think China has become more or less capitalist over the last 40 years, while those 500 million Chinese people escaped poverty? Less communism = less poverty.
It's actually on the rise again and still in the hundreds of millions: https://bch.gg/7a
Your source agrees the % of people hungry dropped from 14.7% to 10.6%. You dismiss that progress because of a 1-year 0.6% rise to 11%? "Everyone starving under Capitalism" is BULLSHIT.
You are correct. And technology gets cheaper in all systems. Food is cheap too. So why is everyone starving under Capitalism?
Is it because workers aren't paid enough? 🤔
Globalised free trade has allowed for labour arbitrage, raising the value of workers in poor countries (e.g. half a billion people lifted out of poverty since 1981 in China alone)

"Everyone starving under capitalism"? You couldn't be more wrong about this - world hunger has declined drastically in recent decades.
I love a good analogy so I think TxStreet is awesome, great job! Suggestion: it might be cool to display the median fee on the buses themselves (like a ticket price or something)
Thank you! Something like that is planned. It will be like a floating green price tag that drifts away after someone enters the bus, with their specific fee. And a cha-ching noise.

That sounds fantastic, this is already a really great tool for education/adoption and that would be a great addition
