RE: April 6th - Some Thoughts on a Saturday - Shape the future don’t let the future shape you
Hey, @wolfhart.
I've always considered it to be a big step backwards that not only did we manage to end up with more channels and more shows that I don't really want to watch, but that now I pay for it all in a monthly bill, and I get to watch commercials, too (don't have a DVR). So, not only are channels making money off their commercials, but the satellite company is charging me to show me those commercials.
Progress, man, progress.
I certainly did not demand it, but I manage to put up with it, because my wife wants it, mainly.
re: wireless electricity
Energy issues could be solved in a relative instant. Free energy for all. Plucked right out of the air. Wouldn't need batteries. Everything would just work, all the time. And supposedly, humans would be no worse the wear. Frizzy hair for those of you who still have some, maybe. :)
We'll have to see how far crypto gets in making the world transparent, and just how disruptive it will get. The potential is there. More people need to push for it, though, and then stick with it when the going gets rough. Because it's going to get rough. The old systems will not go quietly.
I don’t think the old system will go quietly unless they have control or is beneficial to them. I think they are in a watch and see mode.
Most of us just want to be left alone and live our lives. We have our own problems. We let things go until they get bad. Than we have the answers because we are told our opinion. Not everyone but enough to keep things interesting.
I like the guy who put water in a bottle and made a fortune selling it. LOL
There is a visionary .
Congratulation on the Engagement League position
Hey, @wolfhart.
re: go quietly
I agree. Things aren't rolling out so fast that they can't keep up with it. In fact, there seems to be more about how they can control it, or maybe even stomp out independent chains by creating their own. So, anyway. It's not over, not by a longshot, and something will have to move, and move quickly for it to be a victory for the blockchain without some major pushback.
re: left alone
Wouldn't that be great? To be left alone to live our lives?
I don't mind information to make decisions. I don't mind some help, and I certainly could do more helping myself. That's all good. Mandates, compulsion, requirements, not so much.
re: congratulations
Yeah. It's about time I climbed back up there. :) Thank you.
You make this place a little better.
The blockchain will be interesting to watch. This all might turn out beyond any of our imagination. I just keep an eye out.
The exchanges are making a killing and we will see what they buyout in the financial industry. Or wil they be brought out.
Crypto is still not in the mainstream financial media unless it’s negative.
I just watch ,wait and hope
