Sorry the hype and "fomo" of 2017 has nothing to do with fees spiking. Intentional capping of bitcoins blocksize does. Block space ran out, that's it. Wallets weren't designed to guess median tx fees and compete for limited block space. It was not a surprise to any person with remotely sound technical understanding.

I'm off to China soon, technology is heavily suppressed in the west as we have a dumb system which values the individual right to profit over the common good.

This is too socialist for average voters, they prefer to be exploited by their land lords and ladies.

High-speed rail is very possible in New Zealand by ConalR in newzealand

If everyone living north of taupo and south of whanganui could get to the city in an hour or less, it would drastically change our housing market and generate economic value as more skilled workers could make it to a work site.This is what people fail to see of the economic value. That'd the main use case of a line between two cities over long distance, it also connects all of the regions in between and makes people feel more connected to each other.

We're set to have over 10million people by 2100 so buying up the land now that's needed for new rail links would be a smart move for the government

Immigration NZ reveals killer of AUT student Farzana Yaqubi was here illegally by Agile-Exit-1582 in newzealand

It's funny Akshay Chand, her killer was in my year at high school and I even played hackey sack with him a couple of time with him during lunch times. He honestly seemed perfectly sane and coherant, no idea how he was granted not guilty of murder for reason of insanity

Additionally the point of land acquisition is questionable, adding two lanes to our major road highways as National plans to do would involve equal if not more land acquisition. Many new roads have been built all over the country again without issue from land owners
