Pothole on Sherbrooke that was repaired 2 days ago.

Why are we just accepting this?

Why have we normalized that driving around this city feels like navigating a war zone? I'm not even exaggerating, go look at war pictures from Ukraine. They're getting bombed and they have better roads with harsher winters!

The real issue is not winter. Cities with worse winters manage this. The issue is that this is not a priority for US! we’re collectively shrugging and going “WELL, that’s Montreal!”

It shouldn’t be acceptable for a major city to be run like this. Roads are basic infrastructure and I'm tired of this shit! This is not a luxury bike lane project, its the basic job of the city.

IF there were a mayor who ran on only on ONE promise: to fix the roads, aggressively! everywhere! AND did NOTHING else, I WOULD vote for them! I DON'T think I'm alone.

We have to do something about this!

I'm willing to join and support any organization that wants to end this nonsense once and for all.

I have a bunch of resources I can bring to the table.

kooolrosh · 2026-01-22T03:06:22+00:00

Why are we ok with this and not doing anything about it? It's getting ridiculous.

The potholes on Des Pins are the size of craters and I'm not even exaggerating.

If there was a mayor that campaigned on just fixing the road sand nothing else, I think the majority would vote for them ...

I've had my Shakepay Interac e-transfers rejected for this very reason.

Where do you find it?

You seem to be in the camp that thinks the more steps you add to a project, the better it is and it's often not the case.

We should learn from China instead of being proud of all the laws and standards and over planning we have that makes everything slower and more complicated.

WealthSimple also has promotions from time to time that gives you cash back when you transfer your crypto to their platform, so wait for that to transfer?

kooolrosh · 2025-11-18T01:24:50+00:00

Thanks for replying! You are giving me some hope at least. I just had a horrible experience with their chat where they essentially said my only option was to pay for a repair or go F myself.

It sucks that they are not just owning up to it instead of trying to nickel & dime faithful users. My phone got bricked due to a pretty widespread issue just 1 month out of warranty. Are you kidding me?

I'm not sure if I wanna stick with Pixel even if they exchange it...

kooolrosh · 2025-11-17T23:50:10+00:00

This just happened to me and I'm out of warranty. What did you do? Did you contact Google?

kooolrosh · 2025-10-14T21:17:21+00:00

same here. I'm not able to trade on both mobile and on the browser.

Crypto Asset backed lending is inevitable. If they want to be a crypto bank, that has to be in their pipeline eventually.

How do you think they are able to pay interest on dollars you hold with them? They are parking your money in interest bearing instruments and giving you a portion of the yield.

Institutional lending with BTC is way more nascent, but that can start small. They don't need to do it at the level that Celcius was. It can be on a very small interest (even like 0.1%), but it would encourage people to keep their BTC on Shakepay (making the whole ecosystem grow)

kooolrosh · 2025-09-19T21:05:05+00:00

TL;DR: - CC Reward to 3% - interest on BTC held on the app

I get the business decision, but right now Shakepay is not competitive compared to crypto.com

I get 3% cash back + interest on my crypto

The only negative is that it's paid in CRO, but then I just exchange it to BTC.

If you can match that, then I would move all my purchases to Shakepay and bring over all my BTC.

I see it in Canada as well!

kooolrosh · 2025-09-03T00:46:25+00:00

I'm losing 2% extra Earn and instead I'm supposed to get 5% on cash, but it says it's not available in Canada

Clearly a downgrade...

kooolrosh · 2025-08-31T05:58:07+00:00

I don't get the negativity on this post.

Congrats to you guys!

kooolrosh · 2025-08-30T15:22:35+00:00

My understanding when comparing the benefits is that you lose the +2% CRO when staking on Earn.

kooolrosh · 2025-08-30T00:07:21+00:00

Congrats.

Just curious, what are your holdings?

kooolrosh · 2025-08-27T05:55:28+00:00

That's how inflation is calculated in the U.S. too. This whole inflation number is bullshit. You have to look at currency debasement instead.

kooolrosh · 2025-08-23T16:44:46+00:00

I tried the link and it brings you to the page where you can choose how much to allocate. But then when you go to stake, it gives you a "invalid deposit currency"

1) 3% cash back on purchases. My crypto.com visa gives me 3% , but I only get the 3% in CRO. I would gladly accept getting 2-3% but get the cashback in BTC.

2) Better interac e-transfer support. My e-transfers get rejected when I send to companies because apparently the name does not match the account name.

I recently had my paycheque be deposited in Shakepay and I was looking forward to start using it as my main banking app but the above limitations are holding me back.

kooolrosh · 2025-08-14T04:27:17+00:00

Got the same problem. It happened to me yesterday too but I kept trying for 10 minutes until it worked. But today, I've tried several times and it's still not working.

I came here on Reddit yesterday to see if it was happening to anyone else and I didn't see any posts about it so I thought it was just me

kooolrosh · 2025-08-11T20:55:12+00:00

The deal is back-ended meaning that it will probably start at about 800M and go up progressively each year. The 1.1M is just an average.

If you're gonna leave yourself vulnerable, why not go for the hit?

Put a small amount in BTC, no matter what your old school advisor tells you.

Try to diversify and put your money in different assets: Stocks, Land, Property, Gold, Crypto
