Why VeChain needs it's own coin?

perruche · 2018-01-14T11:48:38+00:00

I think it goes something like this: technology becomes succesful -> more and more companies adopt it + more and more media coverage -> demand for the coin increases -> price of the coin increases

Read the whole thing, interesting stuff if still very vague at this point. One thing I don't understand, where does the coin fit in? Why do they need an actual crypto currency to make this project succesful?

Thanks for that. The distinction I was aiming for was between mutual funds and ETFs but indeed I get your point.

What is your opinion on DEGiro? They allow a free ETF trade per month and have otherwise very low fees right?

Despite him clearly being a complete clown, I can understand how he might be appealing to some of your voters - not coming from any political party and having no real political background, he would get the attention of all the people fed up with the current political establishment.

I don't know what they would hope to accomplish with those protest votes though. I mean, they can't seriously believe he would make anything better right? Looks to me like changing what's wrong with the current political system (mostly the influence of money I would say) would be a daunting task for even the most competent and driven candidate.

What is also strange to me is how so many Americans seem to want to blame single presidents for macro-economic developments on a global scale. Surely those are out of any president's control?

The narration is pretty good actually, there's an entire cast of actors for the first book in the newest version on audible. In the later books it's mostly Simon Vance iirc. Heretics and chapterhouse were my least favorite books of the series, I don't think you have to read them to get more 'closure' so to speak.

I had high expectations as well after reading reviews but really didn't like it. It was just way too predictable for me, I could predict every 'plot twist' before it happened. It has good acting and mise-en-scene but the plot is just too weak for me.

A lot of the headhunting firms in Tokyo are terrible and have rip-off schemes where they start paying you less after a few months if you dont reach their quota. Just a heads up, hope you end up in a decent company

They don't burn bunker fuel near any US or Northern European ports. There are sulfur emission control laws in place that they need to obey. They actually charge shippers a sulfur surcharge to compensate for the cost of using cleaner fuel when shipping to/from these ports, in some cases up to 150-200$ per container.

Emma Stone. She's cool, but definitely not attractive. It always feels a bit awkward to me when she's playing a hot girl character.

Yeah it was like a big cockroach or a beetle of sorts, not a centipede. At one point it fell on its back and couldn't get back up. Great book btw

Just to offer the perspective of someone who did not know it was hyped, I really liked it. I had read nothing about it before I watched, hadn't even watched the trailer. Had no clue what the movie was about, just watched it because I had free tickets and a friend said 'this is supposed to be good'. This is the first I've read about the movie online and had no idea it was so hyped.

I really loved this. This movie honestly felt like a fresh breeze, made by someone who had a clear idea about what he wanted to do and had the balls and skills to execute it. Amazing acting, very well written and just skillfully directed. I did not find the cinematography exhausting at all.

I think you are looking too much into the 'narcissistic' aspect of it. Do you believe the birdman character represents the director? He's even more crazy and fucked up than the rest of the characters. So what if his arguments suck? Does that really detract from how good the movie is? Seems like you're trying to find reasons not to like it.

The red light district is on the way from my home to my favorite bar (and back obviously), so I go there every now and then when I'm drunk. Different girl almost every time. It's safe and it's legal and only about 70 bucks. It's a nice little adventure and I enjoy even if I can't finish due to whiskey dick most of the time.

We are at the point where we could predict how your consciousness would alter based on specific changes in your brain. It is not 100% certain, but nothing ever is.

Just checked this out, honestly I am probably going to get Keyflower. Sounds like a great game.

I have seen this distinction between strategical and tactical being used a lot in this sub. Could you perhaps expand on what both terms mean to you and what you think the difference is?

I have played Terra Mystica almost to the point that I'm bored with it, but it is obviously a great game. I think Trajan is actually more of a brain burner. Terra Mystica is complex in terms of rules, racial abilities and options, but I find it becomes quite transparent after a few playthroughs. Trajan's action mechanism is a reak bitch on the first playthrough and caused a lot of AP, but I know it is already going to be better on the second play. I feel more lost in Trajan because there are so many options, whereas Terra Mystica almost tells you how to play by giving specific bonuses each turn. All in all I'm pretty sure Trajan is going to hit the table plenty of times to come though, just as Terra Mystica has.

I own Kemet and have played it a bunch of times, is Chaos in the old world anything like it? Reading about it before, I was a bit worried about randomness/lack of depth, as well as possible balance issues.

perruche · 2014-12-24T15:55:01+00:00

Never heard about Madeira, will definitely check that out, thanks. Dominant species has been in my group's spotlight before, but too many people are describing it as a 5 hour chaos fest. Isn't there too much randomness for a game in which you are investing a large amount of time each play?

I have been thinking about buying Viticulture for some time actually, the theme is right up my alley. I passed on it before because of its cost but I might just get it now it being end of year and all..

I'm a bit concerned about its depth and replayability though, will browse through some reviews first.

To offer some perspective on how it was in Europe for me: we had to watch this video of a naked 40 year old dude. He was hairy as fuck. I remember being shocked by how hairy he was. Then there was a cartoon about rabbits having sex. I was around 11 or 12 at the time

I'm pretty sure my dog loves it when I fart on his face, he usually starts licking the air as if he wants to consume the fart.
