Establishing trust between seller and buyer is not a new problem. The same scenario that you described could be had with mailing checks, physical cash etc. wherever there is not a trusted escrow service. Ironically, blockchain technology is

Amidst a global pandemic and economic recession, this draconian copyright law gets stuffed into the rear end of our public relief bill? I think this is some smelly bullsh*t We must remember that copyrights were meant to expire; the system w

China has massive internal problems, and all data out of china's government are falsified and outright lies. China is a paper tiger in more ways than one. In 10 years, the power struggle between west and east will be a stalemate, and e
