Conventional paper-type legal agreements exist already for this kind of thing, and will mature further as jurisprudence and experience are developed. They don't introduce much centralization that I can think of. They are mostly P2P agr

I don't know about "intrinsic". No other asset class has the same characteristics. It's making investments viable that were not viable before. No regulation exists now in conventional banking that prevents me from doing

I didn't make it explicit in my previous comment but in Argentina you don't need to use a bank to get your hands on physical cash for your cryptocurrencies, in the same way you don't need to go to a bank to buy US dollars wit

I am in Argentina. I can do an investment on a company being founded in France tomorrow and cash out in 3 months on a secondary market to a buyer in Angola. The friction involved in doing this in a pre-crypto world makes it a non-starter. O

It requires fiat banking less than you might think, depending on what you are doing and what jurisdiction you are in. I am in Argentina. I don't personally do it, but I know a lot of people that live on cryptocurrency salaries (not &qu

Soon enough, potentially, tokenized securities that represent shares of anything you can think of.

I think it's safe to assume that all of us are going to be cashing in on that "may you live in interesting times" curse.

Utility tokens are fine. They are just a waste of time in most cases, since they introduce a complex mechanic that is only needed for the purpose of monetizing the platform growth (therefore everything needs to be a "platform" whe

Crypto securities don't replace the US dollars. They replace the shares you're buying when you invest in a company. You are welcome to use US dollars for that if you want. Chances are depending where the companies are based, getti

This a great step in the right direction for the post-ICO-craze phase. Once we are over the bullshit utility tokens we can go back to building valuable companies with a whole new way of funding them.

Not all cockroaches fly. It's likely you had the wrong type (or thr right one, if you don't love roaches flying into you).

It seemed strange to me that the protected mode text warning gives a long winded explanation on 3 ways to disable protected mode first, and leaves the most desireable (change the bind address or password) option for last with a much more br

In all fairness credit cards have a much better reliability track record than any cryptocurrency.

Not the OP but the main con of the Pixel 2 is the price.

by gomox 8y ago
Very few Android phones are not full of crappy manufacturer apps. Nexus, Pixel, OnePlus and apparently, Essential are the few exceptions. So maybe not unique in the literal sense, but a differentiator anyway.

Only if you are using a very narrow definition of "people", "anywhere" and "security". I am in Argentina. I can make a VC-style investment on a company being founded in Europe tomorrow and resell my shares 3 mo

Because it allows people anywhere to access the aforementioned security. It also has a lot lower friction for all the participants.

Sounds like driving a manual, actually. You just use the brakes a lot less.

Can you point me to a more detailed source on this issue? I have heard Germans concerned about getting sued by third parties for minor website legalese issues. I'm not fluent in German so I wasn't able to fully understand the situ

I'm a big train fan and do impractical train rides quite often. I dont think millions of people share our appreciation of trains. Most people use whatever is faster, or cheaper. Trains over 3 hours tend to be neither. Paris to Flensbur

Having used dockless Mobikes in Paris (despite being a fan of classic Velib', they managed to fuck it up so badly last year that it's close to useless now) I can attest to the convenience of bumping into a bike, using it for a sho

To be fair that's not really a reasonable train trip for people that want to actually get there as opposed to riding a train. Probably above 9 hours compared to a sub-2h flight. Train routes that are more meaningful tend to be better s

The actual bullet dodged is PayPal's tendency to freeze your account and the funds within for six months without warning, explanation or appeal. That'll kill a startup real quick.
