Why did everyone forget that we are all people, we are all the same. You put someone or some corporations above yourself. As long as we perceive someone better than ourselves, we will be controlled. Or we can take control of our lives and not pay attention to these corporations that are trying to take over the world. You can’t take these riches with you. it is more important to find happiness while you live in this world, and not material wealth, which in fact is worthless. The material world is changing, no need to try to control it.
We are human when we have adequate supply of life support unit. When we running out of that support unit, we all turn into zombies, cannibalism, turn into most nature form of beast, you know what beast do when they’re hunting for the same prey? Yeah, that’s the true form of human nature, we are all but the beast covered in gentlemen suits and lady robes, when we remove that camouflage, we are turn into barbarians red indians. |

We were at least? The data on life expectancy may be looking to go up but not for people poor since 2008, or for people who were fairly wealthy....
Do you know what middle class was here in the '90? We were not poor but a car was out of reach, no color tv, waiting for lines for a fridge, a washing machine, the countryside had no phone landlines, no running water, no gas, only electricity and that only enough to power radios or light bulbs, plug in a s9 miner and you would leave a whole town in darkness  Of course no internet, no personal computers, ..air conditioning? Lol!!!! Air conditioning? And yet we were not poor! Compare that life with what a poor family has let's see who is having a more comfortable life. At the beginning of the century, you were poor if you couldn't afford glass windows, now you're poor if you can't buy the newest Iphone! (pun!) That’s what I called living the future, from keyboard to touch screen, from 2008 to 2020, we changed from keyboard to touch screen. From can’t afford glass windows to can’t afford latest iPhone. From bicycle(in 90’??) to car, it’s future! That’s sound meaningless, clearly defending a losing envaedor. The thing that bitcoin exist isn’t to promote capitalism, I don’t know whether it’s still a thing today in bitcoin community, I believe it’s about fair distribution of wealth, especially distributing the fund to the knowledge based community, may be bitcoin was mean to help the person who was once highly knowledgable Ivy League graduate who after leaving school and getting trashed under a capitalism working environment where their knowledges has found no place to be utilised but they resort to office politics to survive the careers, where schools are often face with short of funding from the govt because you know people don’t value knowledge, they just want to destroy knowledges, burn the scholars alive so they can’t make noise, bury them alive. When I look at Vitalik Buterin, and I look at friedcat(username), I think they’re very knowledgeable and they know what they’re fighting for, the utopian society where knowledgable people are getting reward, and lazy people get punished, but I think it’s challenging task. |

All these talk about capitalism, yeah it’s very bad, it create wealth for the rich, but then poor stay poor, are you getting richer today compare to 2008?
And yet, we're living the best times in human history both when it comes to poverty  or life expectancy  23 charts and maps that show the world is getting much, much betterOnly one thing keeps growing every day People preaching the doom will come just because they are envious of the others. In this era of technological progress, we can begin to build a populist-based economic system with a foundation that helps to be a solution to overcome social injustice. One example is through equity crow funding which funds small and medium businesses. During this time the upper class exploited the groups that existed at the base of the pyramid. Consolidation of the base of the pyramid will break the chain of accumulation of wealth at the top of the pyramid. So in this economic system, consumers can also act as one of the small investors in their shop business.
Yeah, comrade! Let's burn the kulaks again and rob them and build our socialist state. Because it has worked so many times in the past it's going for sure to fail again! Burn the exploiters !!! Death to the upper class! Glory to the working class! Let's fuck our countries once more and become dirt poor again so we can test again a thing that failed a hundred times in the past! I wish I'd have a time machine and let you all travel back in time in the '80 and experience socialism as I did, then hear what you would have to say about how great it would be to have those times again. The progress look great, keep it at that pace forever, don’t change that, and nope I’m not literature enough to read what’s the tables are showing about, I think I look very green very positive. Btw it’s what capitalism want so badly. |

All these talk about capitalism, yeah it’s very bad, it create wealth for the rich, but then poor stay poor, are you getting richer today compare to 2008? May be you have a smartphone on your palm now and you feel you’re living the future because you’re not 2008 again where people are typing on their keyboard on their Nokia, but your swiping the screen on your smartphone, yeah you’re getting richer by evolving from keyboard to touch screen. What else can you brag about besides a smarter devices? No flying car is coming out in this year so we all go to YouTube and watch some crackhead smashing up their iPhone into pieces, to find something to make fun of, and Tesla is not the future it’s just a joke.
You are rich if you don't have to work and spend your life on a boat. That's how I describe "being wealthy" $2m in your bank account don't mean shit if you still have to go to work tomorrow. You can realize your position and live a rich life but till you do, you are not rich really. (according to me) That $1k iphone (you can probably have a similar quality phone for much cheaper), $60-100k car (same thing applies, can find something cheaper which does the same trick without having to lose comfort) and similar shit like that you want these because Instagram makes you want to have these. When you buy these overpriced shit while there are far cheaper options, and you actually support the real rich instead of you try to become one. But you know, it is impossible for everybody to be rich. That's how capitalism works. Some people need to stay as slaves. And you know what's funny? People want to stay as slaves because that is all they know. That's what they learned from the college they went. Don’t get we wrong, I didn’t blame on the price on anything we can buy, what’s I’m sorrow about is the capitalism itself, when I start to embrace this idea which is probably a red flag on me, the capitalism is rewarding the lazy and punish the hardworking people, I see knowledgeable people getting trashed under capitalism, knowledge is trash its worthless, all those smart people who could build civilisation get trashed, being there done that, I can feel that, I’m not saying I’m the most knowledgable person but I feel the wastefulness on it, we no longer value knowledges which is very sad, and don’t blame on the products that we have today which is often lack of knowledges, so what’s the point again, why are we argue here for what? We are salty about being poor, being what you think money is not everything, so a $1000 phone, so a $100k car, so what are the point we are arguing? |

I think Mark Zuckerberg used to advocate free internet access to everybody around the the globe, despite internet cost almost nothing to connect two devices, what is spend during the transmission of internet data are just so satellite radio waves or some wire cable electricity, compare to digging gold from the earth crust, you digging gold you need a lot of men’s power, you need a lot of chemicals, you need a lot of heat to melt gold, a lot of petrol to move the gold, a lot of space to store the gold, a lot of everything to keep gold to what we have today, but it mean nothing. Internet would become the most expensive commodity eventually, you would gonna spend a lot of your hard earned money on internet bills and make the greedy conglomerate who control the entire internet water pipe business and force you to pay all your money to access the internet the entire life of you living on this earth, the free internet is dead, the free education is dead, the toll free road is dead, and we all have forgotten what they promise to give us free water free electricity free healthcare free retirement, soon we will forget we used to promise free internet access to all investors, btw it’s all a lie.
Perhaps not as much as the internet then the storage space, probably clouding will be more expensive then internet, a lot of data out there and info means power. Yeah a lot of data, you know what, 120 gb was massive in 2008, I could download the entire internet, by now I’m not confident I could get 10% of internet with 10 tb, data preservation is challenging, storage solution can’t keep up with the exponential growth of new data everyday, hard disk technology has been stagnant for many years and storage space didn’t grow bigger, I’m watching more and more cloud storage getting out of business because they can’t keep up with the amount of data get uploaded into their servers they’re force to delete data quickly, once upon a time they preach permanent data storage solution? But all of them get removed in just few years with reason copyright contents illegal contents whatever. Good luck download the entire internet into your pc. |

I think people tend to forget about their very purpose with all the things happening around them. With more advancements, products, goods and services will increase in cost. Humans can be very mischievous and unleading. We expect much when in fact we must not. Internet made us all worse but it can't deny the fact that it helped us advance our civilization. Now, the thing is, everything must be balanced. We can't have free things when in fact your country is poor and lacks resources. Yeah I’m starving badly now, I think I will forget my language eventually because I had no energy to write wall of texts without full of errors and typo, this plandemic don’t end we all will continued to starve, I’m now watching poor single mum who can’t afford menstrual pads come to the street and beg for help, face mask are flipping to the moon in price, strong independent women once though they’re stronger than men and live on their own feet now resort for begging for help, what’s all this joke about? |

I think they won't charge us for using the internet and their pre-programmed tools. because customers are still the top priority and they only charge when you use their services. Don't be so negative about what humans create, it's just something that drives the growth of humanity. I believe the internet is still the most useful and will be free in the future.
If you think APPLE are providing services with customers come first in their motto, then you’re extremely wrong, Steve Jobs did move the Apple to the right direction, the same goes for Micro$oft, it no longer serve customer in their heart, remember windows 10 as a service? Really? |

Yeah and presently, the internet is leading, though the promised freebies won't come any time soon.
People that now neglect the internet are now seeking for what to do to make money on internet since the beginning of this pandemic which is very sad. Crude oil price which used to very expensive is now depreciating and investors are at loss. Investors in internet service like the social media, video streaming platform and the likes are cashing out big time because people are spending more time on the internet these days.
I start this topic priori before the shale oils timbling the crude oil in price, and didn’t predict that to come, that’s some sort of unexpected turn of events, definitely shocking to know that, so I was informed that it could break through the ground (oppose to shot thru the roof) and make -$50 a barrel tell me something funny, of course I’m not a savvy guy to explain the science behind this short selling it’s all guesswork to all of you, but one thing for sure internet stand on their own feet even firmly from now on, you won’t see people stop pumping internet to the next level during a dire event. |

Do you pay am/fm radio for receiving channel to your radio? Or do you pay subscription to the channel broadcast to your national channel? Yeah we were once pay for it, but it’s free eventually, they’re even charging people for advertising on their tv channel, omce upon a time all the major advertisements are broadcast on the tv channel, but you’re seeing more and more of them move into internet and broadcasting advertisement on YouTube, yeah the internet change the entire advertisement industry, so why can’t we have free internet just like free am/fm radio?
There are two options(or, rather, there will be eventually everywhere, imo): you are either paying something and getting ad-free access to the content you need, or it's completely free for you, but you must see/listen various ads. Since the fee for the ad-free access is going to be small(some really insignificant amount for the consumer) most people will opt to pay the money. Maybe some corporations will be earning millions of USD daily this way, but this shouldn't be of our concern. What should bother us is the quality of the service and that the fee was small enough to be considered negligible. When you’re writing from a big business standpoint, two of this option make senses, it’s all about profit in the business environment, and I don’t plan to press on how business exploiting human life en masses under global capitalism, but I wonder since when internet become a tool for the big business to make money, I know the infancy of internet is just simple file sharing tool during the mIRC era, during the Netscape era, but I sense some politics adding to the mixes not a very long ago, and now I got to know it has been a tool to make money for capitalism, can I assume it’s 2014 when youtube begin to introduce monetising your uploaded video, or may be earlier I’m not entire sure the exact time, but I know it’s not during 2008 subprime crisis. |

New internet: MMORPG
Personally I wouldn’t entrust my own wealth to MMORPG for the very reason many MMO simply goes bust in the pass decade, they’re leaving the online game whale who collect a lot of rare items and coins on their own, and just leaving a note that they’re running out of funds to continue running the servers. They’re truly sorry for the inconvenience, bow down like a true Japanese warriors Orz, and the life carry on with a brand new mmorpg, and this sucker just went to big conglomerate, and promote their own next Internet mmorpg, the future of economics. |

Is OP talking about companies like Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo and Apple becoming too popular and in high demand that their stocks rise or that the people making use of the Internet for browsing will pay more to have access to the net? I really do not understand what this OP is ranting because for all I know, I pay less on data now than it was a few years ago. And I expect the cost of data to come down more a few years from now.
Just read the title and don’t think too much and too complicated. It’s just simple, internet will replace gold as the most expensive commodity. You don’t even need to read any other reply in this thread, because all of them are repeating the same set of doubt, going back and forth, whether it’s egg or chicken theory. |

I agree with half of what you said but the internet will not gonna become an expensive thing as per your view we are not in early 2000 and there is a lot of price war between the companies which even gives free data for several people. Those internet giant companies will give you free internet as they are earning a lot from your data and search trends for the targeted ads so if there is a high internet cost they will get affected by that so they won't let it happen
The price wars are mainly due to the unfair consumption distributions, some users consume a lot of internet data, some of the consume a little, I’m a heavy internet user years ago, I’d run torrent client 24/7, I don’t brother with fair consumption policy as I will use any software to circumvent the network throttling, but that’s the good ol’ days, now most internet bandwidth are allocated to big conglomerate namely the Fangs, our internet are still very fast, but how long more can we enjoy it. |

Prices will follow the law of supply and demand. The more people use the internet, the higher its value. There is nothing free in this world. I think the internet is the greatest human initiative. It helps to connect information and knowledge to people in countries around the world. It makes the world flatter and everyone feels more just. In addition, in this COVID-19 epidemic, people are restricted to going out. Without internet, all information communication or job exchanges will be delayed. This will lead to more severe global economic recession.
Too many people use the internet and will make the entire network very congested, remember there is a time the entire crypto network are so congested that we need higher and higher fee to make transactions, are you going to pay the same fee for internet during the time of congestion? |

You sound like you came from a dystopian novel, I don't think that Internet will become an expensive commodity, think about it you the reason Internet is not free and almost anything is that there is a payment for installation, you need for a pipe installation for the water, a wire installation for your electricity. I have to say that you are narrow minded, you always think about getting things free because you are too lazy to earn and I guess that it is easy for you to complain. That is how a free loader sounds like you know. If you always think life will give you what you then sorry to burst your bubble because life will slap the least you will expect it.
Of course I want it to be free, everything in life should be free and we are allowed to harvest the fruits within our vicinity, but some greedy big corporations decide to impose restriction on people who trying to cross into the land under their control, they call themselves the first settler on this piece of land, they didn’t pay a single price for the land yet they’re the lord of that piece of land, and they demand you to pay rent for a lifetime of slavery, how does it feel to you when you’re younger and you getting exploited greatly to enrich them? |

I think this is just the point where people are just wanting to kill the boredom. Weeks on the quarantine and it is really bad since we can't go out that much, we can't go to places casually and can't even buy groceries and other essentials that easily. People in their houses have nothing to do but play games, watch movies, animes or maybe Korea Novelas. We can't blame them though, we need something to kill the time.
Why through? We are fine by writing code and cracking code and security and such, it’s never bore the computer world are wonderful, it’s endless possibilities, it’s above food, we are skipping food to uploading and downloading binary!! Maybe people are so bored and they want to find something that they can be used as a source of entertainment from other things. This quarantine really makes people become productive and look for a source of enjoyment and entertainment. We really can't go outside because of the threat of this virus and we have nothing to do but to follow what government told us. It is for the safety of all to stay inside and that's why people are being resourceful and productive although it is getting boring and boring as this quarantine is not yet done. I usually read old comics that had kept by my father and I found it interesting reading an old comic book before I sleep at night. It really entertain me and the story of the comics are really inspiring and suspense. This habit has been going on for years, it’s the hedonism at work, DescriptionHedonism is a school of thought that argues seeking pleasure and avoiding suffering are the only components of well-being. Ethical hedonism is the view that combines hedonism with welfarist ethics, which claim that what we should do depends exclusively on what affects the well-being individuals have. Wikipedia |
