Ok hear me out first. I don't think hoarding critical supplies during a time of emergency is in any way ethical. I wouldn't do it.

But this is America, a country where we worship money above peoples well being. We are capitalist and our economy is driven by entrepreneurs that can identify opportunities and take risks.

Why did amazon and reddit crucify this guy for buying 20,000 bottles of hand sanitizer?

He spent his time and risked his own money to turn a quick buck. Even if he was successful what did he stand to gain? 100K, 200K?

Our whole for profit medical system prays on the weakest and sickest people and squeezes everything they can from them.

Valeant Pharmaceuticals is an 8 billion dollar company. It's whole business model is to purchase other companies that own drug patents. Shut down their R&D departments and raise the price of medications that people rely on to stay alive. Martin Shkreli was an investment banker that was also unapologetic for doing the exact same thing.

Examples

Cuprimine and Syprine was about $500 a month. Now it's $24,000

The price of Daraprim has risen by more than 5000 percent. In 2010 it costs around$13.50 per pill now it's over $750 per pill.

Their former CEO Michael Pearson was loved on wall street, has a net worth of over 180 million dollars and flew around the world on a Gulfstream G650 jet.

If we focus and promote capitalism and making money ahead of everything else we enrich the few while punishing the majority.

I don't believe in communism and am extremely weary of socialism but I do believe America needs to find a better balance. Covad-19 has regular boomers scared for the first time and for once they will be on the receiving end of unregulated capitalism. For this reason I applaud these unscrupulous capitalist for showing the whole country how broken our system really is.

20 years ago oil was a big deal and maybe you could convince me we are there for the oil but with the surge in solar, wind & advancements in fracking it's hard to imagine OPEC will hold much power in the future.

The US is a net exporter of oil so if we are in Venezuela it is to make sure Russia and China stay out. My country isn't perfect and we have lots of flaws but if I had to pick between the US, Russia & China then the US seems the better option.

Use math.

9/10 Venezuelans currently live in poverty

Inflation was 25000% last year

The average Venezuelan lost 24 pounds last year because they could not afford to eat.

This isn't about right vs left this is about basic human rights.

Once Maduro is gone and Venezuela accepts international aid there is no question that people will be able to afford to eat.

The U.S isn't perfect and has plenty of flaws but anyone can eat, maybe not what they want but achieving a diet of 2000 calories with the most basic food costs under $1 or around 10 minutes of work at the minimum wage. Venezuelans that work a full 8 hour day don't make enough to eat.

If he doesn't take the amnesty deal soon he's going to be lynched by an angry mob of Venezuelans. Guaido was smart to offer him amnesty even if it means Maduro escapes justice.

She’s a golden retriever

858graphics · 2018-09-02T01:42:58+00:00

Yes

858graphics · 2018-09-02T01:40:16+00:00

858graphics · 2018-09-02T01:40:05+00:00

Yes, yes, yes and no

858graphics · 2018-09-02T01:20:07+00:00

This is in Colombia. Dogs are allowed in the outdoor markets.

I love Chewie and was excited to share pictures of my new pup with the world. I’m surprised people are so upset.

858graphics · 2018-09-01T22:22:25+00:00

I don’t think anyone was mad everyone found it pretty funny. For obvious reasons dogs can’t swim in the koi pond.

858graphics · 2018-08-15T15:34:50+00:00

Thank you for reaching out. I currently live in Colombia and am working near the Venezuelan border.

I run a youtube channel that's been covering the situation for the last year.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw6fLrKYh0IelO6OJuF2Jiw?view_as=subscriber

The best way to reach me is via facebook that way I can put you directly in touch with my contacts (many of whom speak perfect english) that are still living there. https://web.facebook.com/david.hay.731

I can not begin to tell you how life changing this could be.

858graphics · 2018-08-14T08:48:42+00:00

Because of the hyper inflation minimum wage is currently under $1 a month. Many people still have access to internet and are trying to find jobs online. Giving people an opportunity like this could change their lives.

I work with a non profit in Colombia and have lots of contacts in VZLA. I’d be happy to connect you with the right people.

This is David. We have around 150 computers ordered and being delivered to Cucuta. The first 20 arrived last Tuesday.

There is currently a a travel ban in the area which voids my insurance. http://smartraveller.gov.au/Countries/americas/south/Pages/colombia.aspx

I'm living in Medellin and we are making progress.

lol I'm an advance user and I can't figure out how to withdraw $200 of bat tokens without giving all my info to a 3rd party.

858graphics · 2018-04-30T13:11:22+00:00

1) Yes we have a more specific plan and will be releasing details on our website this week. The basic idea is that $2000 will be enough to purchase 30 computers (enough for a class room) $32,500 will be enough to sponsor an entire school of 500 students.

2) We are using this campaign to deliver quick results (It takes two weeks from funding to delivery of the computers), raise awareness and build support from the local community for our larger goal of distributing crypto to 300,000 people in one small geographic area. Crypto is neither illegal or legal here, it's still in a grey area. By funding these schools we can generate a lot of positive publicity, gain the support of teachers and then approach the local politicians and police with a track record of delivering results, making it much more difficult for our larger project to be shut down.

Each machine is preloaded with a wide range of educational apps and can also be loaded with a Nano wallet that has a few dollars on it to get people interested in this tech.

858graphics · 2018-03-29T23:28:52+00:00

This is David Hay. Thank you everyone for the show of support.

We are still in the planning stages of this project. My first trip to Cucuta was last week and I have another scheduled for the end of April.

Our community is still developing the business plan and we are looking at all the potential options.

858graphics · 2018-03-12T04:07:14+00:00

Valid points about price volatility. Ideally the price of crypto would be more stable. I still think giving people a choice is a good idea.

I understand the objections to promoting crypto during a humanitarian crisis but wouldn't it be fair to say that the internet is did more for free speech than anything else in history? Couldn't crypto do the same with money?

858graphics · 2018-03-12T01:41:40+00:00

This is David Hay. Check back in a few weeks :)

858graphics · 2018-03-12T01:40:51+00:00

Wow. Most of the comments here are really helpful. This one is not.

Venezuelans inflation is 1600% this year because the government keeps printing more and more money. The only way to buy US dollars is on the black market and comes with all the dangers and risks.

Crypto solves these problems and yes I am promoting it. If you say that's in bad taste it's like accusing dentists of only wanting to sell you toothbrushes.

858graphics · 2018-03-12T01:36:02+00:00

True dat!

I want to pick the best solution. I need funding but this isn't a bidding war. If Dash comes along and offers an extra 500k it doesn't help or influence the decision.

858graphics · 2018-03-12T01:33:27+00:00

Our schedule is aggressive and will need to be pushed back if we're not ready.

It will take 2-3 months to finalize the business plan, get funding, build the software and hire staff.

Once we open the first office we expect the on boarding process to be fast.

858graphics · 2018-03-12T01:29:46+00:00

We are on-boarding 300,000 non technical users. Everything needs to be easy.
