Also in poor countries there are still lots of rich people. Being a poor country just means that the average person is doing badly.

If 51% attacks begin emerging, the chain still functions. People just need to require more confirmations. Then you require so many confirmations that the 51% attacks aren't profitable any more. This kind of chain might become very slow

Lying would make me seriously uncomfortable - I think that would fire back in some other ways, as an additional nervous behaviour. Maybe just say that you don't want to disclose it?

I first read it as "for white men" and was thinking that finally some people offer specialized guides for us. Was disappointed.

Seems to be quite a common pattern here. So, trying to convince your boss is probably very difficult and maybe even waste of time. Instead just quit and try to find a remote job instead (which might be your current job - just tell your empl

Also I think it gos quite case by case. Some employees can be seen as more trustworthy than others, and with others remote work can work better than with others for other reasons.

"I'm thinking pay should be based on productivity and value to the company instead of value to me." Value produced is the upper cap of the pay, the lower cap is dictated by how much competition there is on the market. The emp

The easiest way I think is to quit and work as a contractor/freelancer. You can offer your services to your ex-employer and if you actually deliver value there shouldn't be problems to have remote work as a term in the contract. O

Taxation does create demand for government currencies, but it doesn't necessarily make it more usable in commerce. You could do all your transactions in other currencies, and only convert to the tax currency when you need to pay taxes.

It is relevent in this context, because other developers know they can avoid the said issues if they do things a little bit differently.

How is the cost for the company zero? If you issue employee options/stocks, you devalue existing shares. Often investors have invested to the company and have paid cash for the shares. From company shareholders perspective the cost of

If the stock/option is liquid, then why not just take hard cash instead? Also shouldn't be a problem for the company, they could just sell directly to the investor and compensate the employees with cash.

Also makes me wonder if many stock option schemes make sense at all, if employees think they are worth zero.
