I've lived in 2 of the affected cities. When I was making less I had housemates to bring the rental costs down(Sydney) or lived outside the city and commuted(Toronto). Both would work for either city and allow you to not have to spen

If your rent is 30-50% of your income you are living in too expensive of an area for your means or need more housemates.

It's not uncommon for it to be better financially to always rent and just invest the difference between rent and mortgage+maintenance+taxes. With interest first mortgages as they are it is generally a long time before you earn any equ

It hasn't succeeded anywhere over the past 3 years except in price. Given peoples expectations 3 years ago I'd go so far as to say it has wildly failed everyone in the bitcoin spaces expectations.

Where laws exist they tend to be worded around debts only. A store is free to demand payment by any means they wish.

If we were seeing real growth surely we'd see at least some signals outside of transaction rate. We also have an ongoing block size debate at the moment and I wouldn't put it past some of the proponents(Ver) to be willing to spen

It's increasing but still really low and definitely possible it's increased use within the population instead of increased adoption. That's also like 2.5/second at its peak and even lower when you drop chain transaction

Are you seeing more adoption in any number that isn't a vanity metric(number of wallets/accounts) or intentionally vague "revenue is up! (from where to where?)". Traffic across all the bitcoin social groups/forums

Actually it would be more accurate to say "You profess to care about your lung health and gave up smoking but you go and hang out in every airport smoking room you can find?"

What is it with all the pretend lawyers in this thread bringing up their misunderstanding of contract laws? Do you not realise how silly you all sound? Why do you think this comment is relevant to the thread at all? I didn't say you

Where do you expect the advertisers will switch to? Nah whats going to happen is that sites will just start doing one of two things. a) they will start blocking users that appear to be using ad blockers. b) they will start including ads i

Sadly not, Australia is actually usually pretty far behind. Luckily being Canadian and having lived in the US I have access but it's a pain.

I'm not saying YOU would. I'm saying the people saying they would happily pay for an ad free have the choice to and their choice to use an adblocker instead of paying says a lot about their actual beliefs than their claims on for

I still have to decide if I want to pay $0.01 just to visit a page. For every page I want to open I have to go through the mental process of "Is this page worth $0.01?". And it is that cost which is why micropayments like that al

Correct you took no action to interface with them besides walking. But if you walk into a room where just a musician is playing(and its advertised that this is whats happening in the room) you have now created a relationship where you&#x27

There is a relationship though or else there would be no communication. You want something, they have something. You communicate your desire and they provide you with something. That is a relationship.

Saying they should do it for free or an unsustainable price(they need side jobs) does actually say that you don't understand the cost of good content. You complain about the cost of your attention while suggesting people spend their ti

I didn't imply any of that at all. I disputed their claim that they received no compensation for their attention.

I didn't say I consider ad blockers morally wrong.

So you're willing to trade your time for feeling connected? That's a shame. They offer Prime video in Poland? I don't even think we get it in Australia :/

No, that isn't what I said at all.

You're calling for a minimum income for them or suggesting they just do it as a side project(supplemented with a regular income). The fact is a lot of great content is expensive to produce.

The history of the web is littered with the corpses of tipping companies because almost no one wants to tip on the web. Same for micropayments. No one wants to think about if they should pay for an article even if it is only 1c.

>I just clicked a link. Because you want to consume what they've produced. That is how they are paying you. You keep saying "I did not enter into any agreement" like it changes anything. It's juvenile.

You seem to think that all content costs only the creators time to develop. I think that says a lot.
