If blockchain solves third party problems then it begs the question: what third party problems currently exist?  Finance is one, sure, but there are many cryptos trying to solve that problem and are seemingly off to a great start.  What about education?  If you rated education from 1-10 as a whole (K-12 and college/university), what score would you give it? My guess is that it'd probably be pretty low.  Education is expensive and largely inefficient.  More and more money is spent on education every year but the common assumption is that the quality is perpetually going down.  Why?
  I would postulate that the reason is that education is a third party problem to the max.  Education involves students, teachers, and institutions.  If you had to pick, which of the three adds cost but could also be causing a reduction in efficiency? You got it, the institution.  Studies show that over the last 40 years, spending on education has increased by several orders of magnitude while teaching positions have not.  So where is all of that money going?  To growing administrations and other non-teaching positions. 
  So the bottom line is that you pay more and get less.  Atheneum is a building a platform powered by blockchain technology that removes the costly and inefficient institution and replaces it with an open market where students and instructors can interact freely.  It's a beautiful thing.  Check out Atheneum's full ANN here if you would like to know more:

  How is consensus reached on a non-blockchain cryptocurrency? 

  Yes.  It's much better.  I hope that these improvements are indicative of how the industry will continue to improve UI's across the board. 

  I've done KYC on the main two exchanges that I use but I probably wouldn't do it on additional sites to reduce my risk.  I did it before to raise withdrawal limits. 

Yes, 2019 will be the best year yet! 

I think so, I'm sure that ethereum will return to second place before 2018 ends, and today has become proof because it has risen by more than 10%, investing now is profitable.

I think that type of volume on Ethereum would be amazing for the price.

 I agree there's too much uncertainty around events like this.  I do not like that this has an affect on the market. 

  My investment strategy is simply to invest regularly with consistent amounts.  I'm not trying to play the markets because they are too fickle.  I'll continue to buy throughout any bear market. 

  That wouldn't really be considered a bull run.  It would probably just be defined as a spike.

  The banking system has gone down before and the power grid was unaffected.  Why do you think that a depression this time around would affect the power grid?

"I know most of you may not like FoxNews, but I do browse it alongside the other platforms that I'll listen to during the day. Saw this very weird headline, and in my mind this is one of the more bizarre things about California -- instead of easing regulations in an attempt to get builders to build new housing in areas -- California has announced a bill to allow homeless college students to sleep in cars on campus' (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/california-bill-would-let-homeless-college-students-sleep-in-cars-on-campus-amid-housing-crisis)

This seems like a pretty horrible solution to a problem that could be solved through other means. I'll list some potential solutions, and I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on it!

1. Make it easier to build - Obviously.
This is just easing the regulatory process, reducing taxes, fees, and paperwork constraints on those that want to develop within California. Speed up the approval processes for licenses and LET PEOPLE BUILD. I'm not saying to abandon safety standards or anything, that's not smart, but if you're holding up projects to hold up projects then nothing is working.

2. Don't force new builders to set aside a certain amount of units towards Rent Control. (OR LOWER THE AMOUNT NEEDED)
Rent Control is practically a naughty/bad word in the industry of builders. They don't want to be constrained with this sort of thing, as they know it's just going to bring profits down and less real estate investors are going to want to buy the properties.

3. Mandate Certain House Goals
If local government isn't going to act, the state must set a mandate to achieve a certain amount of housing by x point. Attach this sort of requirement to federal funding and force the governments to comply, or lose funding.

I'd like to see what the rest of you think about this, I'll also link the FoxNews article up above."


  California (I'm a Californian by the way) makes the most foolish decisions politically on a consistent basis.  The previous Governor of the state Jerry Brown said of one of his policies "it doesn't makes sense economically but it makes sense politically."  That about sums up how CA politicians think and act.
