I remember one example where jews wanted to leave, but the country wanted then to stay. Ended with U.S. sanctions against the country.

Ah finally, another "blockchain, not Bitcoin" article. Its been a while since I've seen one of these. Can't believe people are still out there saying this, I'm already eagerly awaiting the next blockchain, not bitcoin article.

Guess who Visa's critical infrastructure partner is, the one that failed the other night in Europe? IBM lol

The IBM motto:

"If you can't be part of the solution, then there is a lot of money to be made extending the problem."

This is the quote of the day Torque and unfortunately, not only true for big blue, but for almost anything that is run today in the extorsion economy... (Crapitalism)

Edit: Regarding the photos, those I have no comment on. They could have been faked, sure; the actual landings though, I don't believe so.

As someone noted above, the whole Apollo program was primarily a propaganda/PR effort.  My theory is that the pictures came back fucked up, over exposed, out of focus...whatever, and the marketing people were like "what the fuck is this?  we can't use this." and then they did what marketing people do...

I agree this is the most plausible explanation.

Idk. This is meme kinda true. But there is a huge range of applications out there where we dont NEED blockchain, but it would still be really cool!

I would love to have my vehicle ownership represented by a colored coin. I could use a trezor like device to start it up and no one would ever be cracking that security. I could transfer ownership via blockchain and it would be amazingly smooth and so much easier and nicer than a traditional title transfer. I could allow someone limited access to it like if my buddy wanted to borrow my car on Tuesday I could just temporarily authorize his digital signature with my digital signature and I could do it remotely.

Yea I guess all of that could be done with a service provided by a firm on a centralized database, but it would be nicer in several ways to have it recorded on a public blockchain instead. There would be less counter party risk. There would be less security risk. And it would be permissionless, man I hate asking for permission.

So I get it. People out there saying "Blockchain is going to revolutionize supply chain management, blockchain is going to replace traditional contracts, BLOCKCHAIN IS GOING TO REPLACE ALL OF THE THINGS!" are wrong, but I think people like Jimmy Song are also overstating their case in the other direction. We will be able to find a lot more awesome and legitimately practical uses for this technology than just cryptocurrency.

Yes and in a perfect world, this is how it should work. You should have the power to transfer title of ownership of something you own directly to another party without a third party in the middle. But that's the problem. When state-run Bureaus of Motor Vehicles have centralized control of title issuance, transfer, and registration of motor vehicles, and of course make revenue off of that activity, then why would they ever relinquish that power back to the individual? They would make so many excuses has to why that activity should be state-run and not decentralized.

Also, I wouldn't doubt that state-run BMV's will eventually try to implement some sort of blockchain solution behind the scenes as a 'calling card' to say that they are trying to change and do something. But I don't think it would be more efficient that what they have today.

Who cares? Technology is a genie that once let out of the bottle can not be put back in. It will be with us forever. Bureaucrats and systems of record and title transfer come and go. In the long march of time even mountains are reduced to dust by the simple flowing of water. Technology is like the water and Bureaucrats are not even close to being mountains.

People is voting about moderation, but 100 is not enough, vote guys!!

Would you like to see a change in the WO thread moderation?
Delete more posts trying to steer the conversation away from Bitcoin   - 9 (7.2%)
Delete more offensive posts (nazi-related, etc.)   - 29 (23.2%)
Both of the above / general increase in moderation needed   - 16 (12.8%)
The moderation has been fine   - 51 (40.8%)
We need less moderation / pure anarchy   - 17 (13.6%)
We need a new thread moderator   - 3 (2.4%)

I was thinking to change it, but I guess I could leave it til the end of the day.

No I get what you are saying. Perhaps blockchain will eventually find it's way into a few other places here and there where it makes sense to have it.

Though if the next 30 years go by and I still can't legally transfer a car title to another person for free via a decentralized blockchain solution, it won't mean much sweat to me as I'll probably be close to death anyway, lol.

I saw it live on TV, as an 9 year old. It was just real. No point discussing that. I also read about the Tonkin incident, as a 6 year old. That was clearly a false flag. Nothing has changed about these facts.

If it does happen in the next 30 years it will be because political jurisdictions are in a sort of competition with one another. I wouldn't be surprised to see smaller jurisdictions implement as much of this kinda stuff as they can in order to attract expats.

We're getting into Bart Simpson's pattern again:

[Torque]

A tech analyst on CNBC video talking about Bitcoin price action like it's a serious financial market asset.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/31/bitcoin-finds-a-bottom-after-plunging-from-highs-technician.html

I can remember when the MSM had nothing positive to say about Bitcoin, and certainly no serious trading discussion.

Mind blown.

IoT

I could see a sort of blockchain existing between a companies till systems to take care of loyalty points. I gain 5 points in a transaction in London. I go to Manchester and spend them at that till in another transaction. All tracked and managed independently of any human effort. Only they need a process to add and verify any new tills and its effortless for them.

Going on the average age of posters in this thread, there's no longer such a thing as a boner to be ashamed of any more for most. All of them are a gift.
