Maybe because the US funds the weapons that kill them like dogs and deer in the streets and in their homes. Just maybe.

Unfortunately, it won't. Money supply is a function of many things that an authority needs to control as an adjustment lever for the economy. A currency with a scheduled-deflation is not the solution. There are no problems with our cur

A central authority needs to control money supply. This is crucial in all advanced economies. It has to be capped somehow (currently, it's obviously exploited), but a decentralised currency will never work.

The issues that existed "until 40 years ago" were pretty obvious. I read a lot by Ludwig Von Mises. And I am not Keynesian.

I'm not sure where you got this from. But Visa already supports P2P payments for its acquirers: https://developer.visa.com/vpp/ . Venmo uses it. Square probably does it as well. Mastercard has an equivalent.

NFC is clearly not the future. Square/PayPal (also not the future with their current products) are not incompatible wit Coin. In fact, Coin fits well into the current ecosystem.

Is bonuses such a big problem? I've never had any card had a bonus for a limited time.

Time Warner asked me to give them the milliseconds of a working website traceroute, instead of the broken link to a non-working website! It's hilarious (and quite sad) how incompetent Time Warner is.

Because Time Warner sucks.

The app will not preload every time new items come in. This is a common misconception about iOS 7. iOS 7 schedules these apps to run very infrequently to save battery. Some times it will take many hours to do a background refresh.

Because starting a startup is not about using the "coolest technologies", but running a business. In many ways, a typical old-fashioned business. Startups that revolve around the "coolest technologies" will almost always
