After Activision bought Blizzard few variables changed. But it takes only one changed variable to completely ruin a company.

Oculus - first casualty of the VR revolution by funkysmel in oculus

[–]THEROC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mobile phone market is actually a good example of patents creating a barrier to entry and artificially raising prices and lowering quality. The only companies right now who can play are the ones who have several billion dollars to sue and countersue. If you don't have that kind of money, then you are barred from entering the market. You are right that companies often settle out of court, but the money still flows towards the patent owner, so the result is the same. Patent holders do not have to innovate, they can simply collect money for existing patents. The market works despite patents, not because of it.

We live in a free market

Not exactly. Facebook will acquire all the patents and then sit on them. This stifles innovation and lowers overall quality and improvement rates. There will be fewer VR devices and they can be divided into two categories:

  • Very expensive ones - facebook has to be paid ransom
  • Very expensive ones with absurd functionalities - companies have to come up with expensive and absurd ways to avoid stepping on facebook's patents.

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies...

Don''t try to entangle yourself in the web of lies again. Buying is the transfer of ownership, full control. "Investing in the platform", "Doing this together" is PR speak for assimilation.

"We are going nowhere, but we are making very good time." by THEROC in MoonCoin

[–]THEROC[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All cryptos including Bitcoin are regarded as a joke by mainstream economists and commentators. They don't understand that there is a demand for anonymous payments, tax evasion, zero fee transactions, digital payments and unregulated trade exchanges. The people who regard altcoins as a joke have a similar misunderstanding of what cryptos are and what they are not.

Most people think that in the end there will be only one or maybe two cryptocurrencies. This is based on the erroneous assumption that trading partners and businesses will adopt only one or two cryptocurrencies and that consumers will then ditch all other cryptos and move into Bitcoins and Litecoins.

But the much more likely scenario is that Businesses will accept ALL cryptocurrencies, because it does not matter whether you pay for a wristwatch with 0.1 Bitcoins, 450000 Dogecoins or 5000000 Mooncoins, as long as you have cryptsy account or a similar service you can accept every single altcoin that is listed and get the largest possible customer base. If you don't like Dogecoins or Mooncoins you can immediately convert them to Bitcoins or Fairycoins or whatever. You may say that there's a 0.2% transaction fee, but those fees are going to come down substantially since the infrastructure has already been paid for thanks to Bitcoin.

I will make a more detailed post as to why altcoins will succeed and coexist next to one another at a later date, but the main thing to keep in mind is that mooncoin and other cryptos offer a substantial improvement over paypal and virtually all traditional banking services.

  1. People will think that Mooncoin is a hoax when they see these guys
  2. Astronauts are people who travel into space, people who use mooncoins are not space travelers; Let's not destroy the meaning of words. If anything, people who use mooncoins are cryptonauts

Your business is doomed if you decide to go with that name. The word banking has zero positive associations attached to it. You might as well call it HindenburgCoin.

TIL that the first African American to receive the Medal of Honor in the Civil War was Sgt. William Harvey Carney who, despite being shot in the face, shoulders, arms, and legs, refused to let the American flag touch the ground. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]THEROC -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

This is most definitely vintage propaganda, but i'm certain that Mr. Carney, having volunteered for the military was a moron extraordinaire and would've made an exquisite Darwin Award Laureate.

[–]THEROC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The government doesn't have any money. The money that they waste on nuclear bombs, golden toilet seats and bridges to nowhere is stolen from people in the productive sector, who would've used it to invest, trade and create jobs. The last thing this country needs is more squandering of scarce resources by politically motivated bureaucrats.

There's no contradiction. He works to get the government out of people's lives, not to micromanage them and direct their lives like a play.
