I concur.

If they are concerned about malware then one of the obvious solutions would be safe guarding their play store. There is significant less scam on iphone because apple polices their app store. Meanwhile scam apps that i reported are still up on google play store.

It is the official channel of many governments and worldwide organizations. The Royal Family twitter account posted the news about Queen Elizabeth's death before BBC announcement.

But this already exists without blockchain! If you play Spiral Knights or Half Life on Steam, you get a hat in Team Fortress 2. There are various third-party websites where you can display your Steam/Team Fortress/Dota/LoL achievements, inventories, ... because those 'ledgers' are public already. You can trade Steam items on third-party websites (which interfaces with steam underneath) that dodge Steam's 30% store tax and will actually pay money out unlike Steam.

That ledger is controlled/can be edited/changed by Vavle. Valve can delete your inventory and there is nothing you can do. Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having a public ledger that no one can modify on a whim?

MPC-HC v1.9.22 4 years ago

MPC alone isn't necessary better but with madvr LAVfilter... is still unbeatable.

You can also use it to buy goods from oversea retailers without paying exorbitant fees, bad conversion rate. If you live outside of America and Europe, banks charge a hefty amount of fees for international transactions.

The world is volatile. Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Russia, and in the future who know if China and Taiwan won't become a crappy place to be. The needs to store your wealth and get out of the country quickly is very real. You can't just queue for ATM and holding dollars and gold bars come with significant risk of confiscation or being robbed.

I concur. I tried to learn language like C, python... but could never make any progress. However, ironically I made serveral scripts for botting in MMORPG that I played. I could spend days perfecting and running them. It was the shorterm reward for botting in games that kept me going. Meanwhile learning to code is like walking to a destination that you don't know when you are going to reach. It feel like a chore and mentally challenging.
