Yes, but a reasonable bitcoin wallet wont let you spend the same coin twice, even if offline. As far as I know, none of the common wallet software that support offline transactions will let you do this by accident. Credit cards suffer from

Expensive Hermes stuff doesn’t tend to have logos. In fact, not many of the cheap things have logos either.

It’s difficult to figure out who this is really for. It’s clearly skewed towards lower income folks, who are decidedly not the people who read The Economist. The Patek Philippe-wearing jet set, towards whom most of the advertising on The Ec

Credit card payments have the same problem.

Aren’t bank transfers the obvious alternative to Coinbase payments? That wouldn’t have worked. Regular bitcoin transaction OTOH would presumably have worked just as well as credit cards.

Bitcoin also lets you sign transactions offline, which the recipient can broadcast next time they have an internet connection. A wire transfer is really a more apt comparison when discussing sending money from Coinbase.

You’ve misread what I linked. None of the numbers being discussed are “proven deaths during the building phase” as you claim. All of these numbers are supposed to reflect overall mortality among immigrant workers, but they’re actually far t

Those numbers make no sense at all, as previously discussed https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30930117 In fact, if we take them at a face value, they suggest incredibly low death rates among immigrant workers in Qatar.

Out of those, only the Aftab case predates moot selling 4chan. That one was done by partyvan crowd who had been driven off from 4chan by that time. It would’ve been 888chan, 711chan or rockstararmy. Of course, journalists don’t care about

Yep, Nordic countries you skip the “dates” and go straight to casual sex, if that works out well enough you might go out for dinner together.
