can put things into perspective. I know it's hard for people who have never experienced chronic severe pain to not understand why these medications are needed. the same as I look at normal people and can't remember what it's like to not be in pain.
And not enough people saying their position before commenting (i.e: "THIS IS AMAZING TECH BUY IT!"), and on that note Disclosure: I own a large position in IOTA (it's 89% of my crypto portfolio). and yet I still really want the technology to succeed, there's a few problems such as
A) the founders act very childish and lash out at any criticism, while at the same time in audio interviews saying "criticism is good these things need to be discussed at length" but if you put it in text they'll basically troll you.
B) they hype up their own technology too much "THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING", "JUST WAIT UNTIL THIS PART IS DONE".
they need to hire a PR team that will professionally handle releases of information in a non-hyperbolic way and the founders need to keep their mouths shut in public when representing their technology because running around acting cocky and trolling people does not help your cause it actually causes people to want to flee as fast as they can because it makes it seem like you have no clue what you're doing. in a nutshell this is beginning to feel a lot like dogecoin. kids hyping kids, spamming people, and acting foolish as can be.
Most definitely there was a very good video about lead engineer (I think) talking in front of a hexagon spy satellite from the 1970s a lot of the information on it is declassified now, but he did say that the resolution on them still was and all he could say was that in the 1970s "I could read a newspaper on a table" and that's all he'd say on the matter.
imagine how far technology has come along since then
BTC fees are crazy high because the coins value is crazy high if I go back and look at some of my transactions when BTC was around $200. today, the low transactions fees of yesteryear are now $15-$20. I think that's the flaw in bitcoin, greed took over and it became something it shouldn't have. miners kept buying more expensive asics to edge out the next guy because of greed and it became an arms race. my asic mining career lasted a whole of several months before I stopped cause I saw the people making money at the time were hardware sellers, pool operators, etc. miners still made money but in small margins. that is until BTC exploded now the coins I mined are worth over $50,000 on an investment of $3,000 of miners ($30,000 of which is still retained). Now I undderstand that miners aren't the entire reason for BTC price increase but I believe they have their share in it.
I think cryptocurrencies like IOTA (I do not currently own a position in IOTA but will be in the near future, hopefully.) have a place with no network fees and primarily no miners. but I still see the greed in messageboards "Buy more!, Eat away at sell walls" yada yada. very sad.
I think it'd be cool if there was a coin that had a fixedish price like tether although I won't touch tether since I don't know a lot about it other than some kind of theft, and the fact that bitfinex doesn't accept U.S customers which doesn't really affect my purchasing of tether but all the same I'd rather distance myself from them. I have been looking at BNB since I do use binance exchange but it's a volatile currency as well from looks of it. and the fact they are destroying them each quarter from what I understand based on their profits or something will lead to shorter supply and more demand since it can be used to lessen exchange fees
I forgot exactly where I was going with this whole thing so I'm just gonna go buy virtual kitties with ETH
Same can be said about most things but that doesn't/won't stop people from using things like this. The same goes for web Development I used to be a freelance web designer in 2000s-2009 which gave way to do it yourself 1 click websites, forums, and WordPress which people use blindly. I was recently looking at local businesses web presence and 3 I found were using WordPress to serve up mostly static pages all out of date 1 was hijacked and serving pornography TGP with a link on the main page to it. I contacted the owner who could seem to care more about being bothered than the fact his family friendly restaurant and website were serving up hardcore porn. took them 24 hours to fix something that should have took less than 5 minutes. and they only removed the link their website is still hijacked the script is still on their site and the exploiter could return at anytime and start serving up malware. I documented everything pretty well and am going to use it as a case example to these other local businesses to hopefully use some sense and not try and DIY and hire if not me, someone to maintain their websites. 1 last comical thing is another one of them was using their FTP credentials in css to link a picture
that's because drama and fear sell very well that's why any video you click about the shooting on a site such as cnn will have loud dramatic music loaded up and ready to autoplay think about that for a second a tragedy just happened and cnns response is to find the best dramatical music score for their video.
all while running opinion pieces "YOU'RE NOT SAFE YOU'RE NOT SAFE WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK ITS YOUR FAMILY YOUR FAMILY IS GOING TO BE MURDERED HOW WILL YOU FEEL THEN", "Law enforcement officers are trying to get churches to run active shooter drills", "You won't get into this church easy (you have to be buzzed in and seen through a video feed)".
guess I'll never step foot in another church if that shit happens. same reason why I won't ever fly anywhere I refuse to give into fear and paranoia and have everything locked down like a maximum security prison. went to pick up my niece from daycare and left feeling absolutely disgusted they have multiple buzz through doors security cameras everywhere the place is more fortified than most prisons
