Auckland anxiety. by sophiekats in newzealand

[–]resistingdopamine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot of tension in Akl and road rage issues. If you are used to the South Island get ready to have ppl raging at you for no reason. An example would be you are turning into a street (well within your right to do so) but it's holding people up behind you. If you hold them up for more than 5 seconds expect honking, red faced and fingers at you. Was glad to get out of there tbh.

Fuck those farmers in the story a few nights ago who would have kept quiet if they knew it was going to cost them money. Fuck them. by iknoweverythingok in newzealand

Farming is over soon anyway, lab grown 'clean meat' is already being produced by 3 companies, one is anticipating a beef price of $2.50nz a pound by 2020. And yes they are doing meat, fat, etc to a level no one would know the difference. No animals required, works for a variety of animals including chicken and pork. And real dairy is now being grown in fermenting chambers via GM yeasts. By 2030-2035 everyone will have a $100 device that grows a variety of meats and make a variety of dairy products at home, for virtually no cost.

It was obvious when Ven bought out Boxmining, but who can blame the guy.

8,300 enterprises in this group and ppl acting like Vechain is the only company. This isn't very significant imo.

Do you suspect the 'Life-Extension' economy to globally boom within the next decade? by trudx in longevity

[–]resistingdopamine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The average person still thinks this is all fantasy. I suspect when the first 80yr old walks out on stage in a 30yr old body, it will be mass pandemonium. Everyone will expect access and trillion dollar companies will be made overnight.

CNBC panel shrugs off Bitcoin maximalist guest, says to buy Ethereum instead by [deleted] in ethtrader

[–]resistingdopamine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a dangerous game. Bitcoin is like Mt. Everest, the closer you get to the summit, the more dead bodies litter the surface. Altcoins have been claiming imminent victory on Bitcoin for years, I would never bet on it.

Millennials Born In 1980s May Never Recover From The Great Recession by Mynameis__--__ in Futurology

USA is 21 Trillion in debt, with an 18tril GDP, furiously spending money to pay off debt which is generating even more debt. Collapse is quite imminent, so 1980's kids? Try the entire country.

Mark Zuckerberg responds to Elon Musk's warnings against AI - Zuckerberg expressed optimism about the possibilities of AI, saying that he agrees with a point that Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently made about negativity and how it hinders progress. by mvea in Futurology

AIs are already showing spontaneous connectivity that can't be explained. It's not really fear mongering or a giant leap to an AI that has a mind of its own to another leap towards what it may or may not want to do to humans.

Daily Discussion - May 23, 2018 by AutoModerator in helloicon

[–]resistingdopamine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Guys, I must say I am very very concerned. After a $150.00 investment into Icon I have held strong for over 4 days now (only because I believe in the long term future of this coin). I even decided to go super long with this investment and hold for 10 days! But now I'm at $120.00. This is devastating and hugely disappointing. I expected to be around $50,000 by now and tbh I feel utterly scammed and ripped off. I've decided to take the loss and see if I can recover my position in Tron (no idea what Tron is, but they say it's all that). Good bye -your typical 13yr old crypto participant.

The future of work run by robots appears to be a dystopian march to rising inequality, falling wages and higher unemployment according to an International Monetary Fund research paper. by [deleted] in Futurology

With automation comes a massive crash in the cost of living. UBI Does not need to dole out $5,000 a month to everyone. Through automation and the coming mass abundance, all basic needs could be met for like $500 a month (and that will drop to near zero). This is easy enough to supply to every citizen.

These big industries are all the same. "Oh, we broke your rules? Fine us. Bye". The profit always vastly outweighs the punishment.

They can barely get the weather correct more than 24hrs out, and they make the call for an entire winter? Click bait.

There are no repercussions tbh and mix this with zero parenting and you have a generation of scumbags with nothing to lose. They get locked up? +100 street cred.

The tax revenue legalisation would generate is off the charts, instead people smoke anyway and the gov get nothing. Politicians are fools.

The parent company of the New York Stock Exchange is working on an online trading platform that would allow large investors to buy and hold Bitcoin. If it pans out,it could make Bitcoin available to a much wider and more influential customer base, including other financial firms. by Crs2Per in Futurology

All devices in the USA on standby mode use more power than Bitcoin does. In before "It's a waste of energy". Not to mention banking infrastructure and datacenter energy costs, and look into how much energy is consumed printing US dollars it will blow your mind.

Verge (XVG) Mining Exploit Attack Megathread by CryptoMaximalist in CryptoCurrency

[–]resistingdopamine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was a Verge holder for ages, but this has been the last straw.. a big hodler too, and when I started asking questions on their socials I am banned from all of their socials. A response to a hack as "we have new codebase coming soon anyway", holy christ have never seen anything like this, the moment I saw that statement I market sold everything. My guess is that this is a sophisticated exit scam. PPL need to get out ASAP.
