Comment Re: 'reversed the transactions.' someone explain. (Score 1) 65

The moment an individual bitcoin transaction became too expensive was the day bitcoin failed. These brokers or exchanges are just propping up a failed system. By failed I mean the underlying system was no longer usable as intended. Bitcoin was not supposed to be only used as a central bank between smaller banks/exchanges. It was supposed to be the sole transaction system.

If you have a government issued ID, sorry pal but they already have your data. At least it's just the government and not 100s of third party verification services half of which are on the other side of the world sending that data right back to fourth parties in your own country, which secure that data with a password of 'password'.

Comment Stop encasing the players in tank uniforms. (Score 1) 60

If you are dressed up like a tank you will play the game like a tank. I do watch the NFL and my favorite team, and just like most viewers I kind of like the current game play. But when running backs are often trucking defenders with their helmet it looks bad to then say don't lead with the helmet when they never flag the penalty on the running back.

Governments need to set up an age verification system that allows you to use a validation credential so that a third party never has access to your data. If you are going to pass laws requiring online age verification, you should also set up a simplified system whereby no one but the government has your actual data. It's a simple 'is this person of age yes/no' verified by a pin authentication to discord.

Comment Re:Yes we have, but you won't fix it. (Score 1) 170

Car dependent is one thing, and arguably unavoidable for living outside of towns. The real problem is service dependence. Hiring someone to clean the house instead of doing it yourself, hiring someone to clean up leaves if you own land, or to mow the lawn. The exact things that people find to be a chore or tiring are exactly what we need to do ourselves for the benefit of our health.
