Re: Apple Pay -- A Reason to Expect the Worst

It's not that ApplePay is better than Bitcoin -- it's not. It's not that ApplePay directly competes -- it does not. It's that Apple has a tendency to absorb all of the oxygen of anything even within a dart's throw of it. Money 20/20 being centered on ApplePay rather than cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin is just one demonstration of how the show has moved on to the next fad.

ApplePay is complying with the law and regulation. That certainly is a huge advantage over crypto currency.

Advantage or disadvantage. It really depends on your point of view.

World governments are constantly loosing legitimacy. The reason is that free electronic communication (at least easier than in the centuries before) leads to exposure of the low moral standard of those in charge.

Complying with the current laws and regulations could soon be perceived as an act of high treason. So ApplePay runs an easy business only as long as the status quo is not questioned by the majority.

Playing some oldschool adventures via ScummVM (MonkeyIsland I+II).

I like the gfx a lot. More atmospheric than the remake imho.

Not easy for a noob to keep track of all these cryptocurrencies - too much activity in this section...


From what I've read Novacoin has been around for a while now and seems to be one of the more serious ones...

So why not:

What's the matter with all these cloned crypto coins?

Is this real innovation or only pump and dump?

Seems not much is new but of course everyone will jump all over it like the olsen twins when they turned 18. So it may have some value

Some self-fulfilling mass hysteria then.

It's always the first couple posts that are hard, at least if you don't want to spam a forum

Does it count as spam if your commenting on spam, or have I gone too meta on that one.

Only commenting on comments on spam is meta enough to fool moderators into thinking that it is no real spam anymore. Tongue

He's trying to break free of the bitcoin.
The principle of bitcoin is being decentralized, it is actually quite funny that we currently so focus on just bitcoins only.

yeah ok, but isn't this regulated by the free market?

Nobody is forced to use bitcoins. So if everyone is using bitcoin it's their free decision.

Competition is good. But I don't see why we would need a political campaign to encourage the use of alternatives. This just seems silly to me.
