Great to see some forward thinking councils allowing new means of payment. It gives their citizens another way to use their crypto!

"The Swiss town council of the small municipality of Zug, Switzerland made the decision on May 3rd, 2016 to accept Bitcoin payments for dues and public utilities as part of a trial run on cryptocurrency acceptance."

That is a great start. A lot more local governments need to start doing that.

Great job TeeGee. We need all the help we can get to spread the word. I have no doubt that the book will be of immense help to all aspiring entrepreneurs who have the chance to read the book.

We seldom ask our community to step up and help. This is one of those exceptions because I sincerely believe that this book is meant for the better good of many struggling small business owners. Anything that you can do to get the word out or to contribute will go a long way to make DNotes a purposeful digital currency that is firmly committed to make a positive difference for as many people as possible.

Supporting our Kickstarter campaign is very important and means a lot to me. Our goal is to raise $5,000 in 30 days. We are behind our target. So far we have 12 backers with a total pledge of $835 with 26 days remaining. Anyone with a credit card can pledge US$5 as a token of support, or US$18 for a first edition in PDF format, US$30 for one hard cover copy, includes shipping in US or US$32 for one paper bag copy, includes international shipping. Any pledge to support the campaign will be well appreciated.

Nothing comes easy without a lot of hard work. Like everything else I have been involved in before I am very passionate about helping others to live a better live. This book is my best medium to positively reach out and impact the largest number of people. I appreciate all the help given to support this project thus far. The tweeter campaign has been quite impressive.

Good mainstream news article from CNBC - Schools are using blockchain technology to record student achievements and later make verification of credentials easier.

That is a great start. The ability to verify credentials is important. What is also important is that students would get an early exposure to blockchain technology.

Student debt crisis is not just an American problem. It is a global problem. I am deeply concerned and look forward to the day when DNotes can provide a positive impact.

Below is an interesting prospective from abroad, England.


Fighting crippling costs


Being a student is a lot harder than it used to be.

Back in the 1980s university was free for most people, and students were even given grants of up to £1,430 to cover their costs of living away from home.

Today most undergraduate students are saddled with debts to the tune of around £51,000 by the end of their courses.

For full-time students who can’t work, like medics or those on postgraduate courses, the cost of living is not matched by what they’re able to borrow.

It's in this dire landscape that short-term lenders like Wonga are making a killing, but Future Finance is trying to build more responsible long-term lending.

“The system is broken. Student financing is in a terrible state right now,” Future Finance CEO Brian Norton told The Memo.

“A decent student credit card will charge you around 20% interest. Short-term loans can rack up 50% or more APR, and Wonga can be over 1000%. It’s scandalous.”
