1  Economy / Economics / Re: You’ll Someday Manufacture Anything You Want and Governments Will Not Stop You on: August 09, 2018, 11:34:56 AM
"3D printers are low-cost."

Since when?

Even if you can afford a printer, the conductive filaments/inks are super expensive. And, it takes hours to design and print even a single coffee mug. Advancements in technology will speed up the process and even automate the designing phase. In about 20 years, the purchasing power required to acquire the best 3D printer available in the market will be astronomical because fiat currency is probably going to suffer inflation like anything.

The smart dudes who have invested in cryptocurrency will have access to everything described in the article- good and bad. However, there are research centers that produce custom materials and the inks required to 3D DIY print.

If the government can form coalitions with these organizations, they can make use of anti counterfeiting technology to keep everything in control again- currency, commodities, products etc.

To rise above the rest; who haven't invested in it yet.

I really hope GNT goes up.
3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will the governments kill cryptocurrencies on: July 18, 2018, 06:07:47 AM
The state has not yet achieved authority over this sector and the market share is increasing if we consider a long timeline. It just means that the states are banned based on the regulations they set, but are unable to prevent the use and operations. As more CEOs, influential people are diving into the cryptocurrency segment, the government will have a tough time regulating cryptocurrencies for real. They can impose taxes, that's fair but they can never ban crypto.

However, if something really grievous like a 51% attack occurs, I'm wondering if it's still possible for the governments to develop USB wallets that extract all the crypto from the blockchain ledger. They could then make a really crafty move- issue out real Bitcoins with all the data in the personal USB drives of all the investors, and make use of anti-counterfeiting technology to make it legit and circulate coins like fiat currency. This way, they have the whole situation under control.

Possibly, the government could be trying out ways to exploit the blockchain and get this done. Just my thoughts over a cup of strong coffee, I pay my bills =]

Blockchain technology will enable many industries to link up, and can promote the division and cooperation of people. Improve the efficiency of the society as a whole.

This will certainly take a while because people need to accept it.

People need to be aware and be knowledgeable about blockchain.

Pretty sure one country alone won't move the needle. However, the reversal of the negative news can raise the price up a bit

Always get the best brands when you're buying electronic equipment, more importantly, home alarm systems or even get the best security cameras and set it all up yourself.

Well, think of it this way- if you get robbed, you lose regardless of the value of stuff that was stolen. All your work hours/investing would have gone to dust.

Good health is the ultimate priority.

Money - second and relationships third
