1  Economy / Economics / How long before banks become obsolete? on: July 07, 2018, 05:19:30 PM
I'm really looking forward to not needing my bank at all. Just the other day, I tried to send that they call a "Quick Pay" to someone. It's a feature they offer that allows you to send money to someone instantly. Except it's not so instantly. As soon as I pressed "submit," I received a message saying it required additional review. On the 4th of July. In person. When banks were closed. So dumb. Today, I had to go into the bank and show two forms of ID and they had to call someone by phone from within the bank who then asked to speak to me. They asked me if I knew the person I was sending the money to. (He is a friend, so yes.) I was like, "no, I don't know the person I'm sending money to, I'm just feeling generous." Then they asked me if I planned on sending money to this person again. At this point, I was like, "listen, I've been banking with you for 30 years, I'm sitting in your branch, the teller has known me for 10 years...do I really need to ask your permission to send someone MY money and do I need to tell if I'm going to send them money again???!! No."

How do you think cryptocurrency will change banks in the short-term and how long before some of them go out of business?

3  Economy / Economics / What if Zuckerberg paid us a share of FB advertising revenue? on: May 15, 2018, 02:02:03 PM
If you really think about it, all of the social media platforms make money from all of the people who use their platforms. Users dive in thinking they're on the next greatest thing, all while being suckered there so the platforms can earn billions off of them. Mark Zuckerberg, for example, made $41 billion last year from advertising. How would you feel about sharing in that?
