Currency and money are not the same thing.

You fit in perfectly in their camp then. They beleive that if it’s deflationary, then it’s not interesting.

That said, they intend for grin to be used in 50 to 100 years. Verbatim. Do you want to wait that long?

Grin, academics and early bitcoiners second attempt at digital cash.

Community funded. Pure mine. Rust, inflationary economics, cuckoo cycles. No governance, but that is debatable. Small team making decisions. What is that?

Beam, entrepreneur team. Had a presalethat allowed them to put devs on the project full time and blow past Grin in material output. It’s not a “pre-sale” but it is. They pay back the investors through splitting the block reward (founder’s reward) over the first five years. Then spin that into a foundation, C++, cuckoo cycles.

Give Beam a chance before you say it’s a scam. They are good people. I don’t agree with what people are saying about them, despite disagreeing with their approach. Talk to them before making up your mind. They have sound arguments that founder’s will understand, and ideologues like me disagree with.

It is, until the speculators understand that this has been severely discouraged in the economic model, and then it will have a liquidity problem.

There is a cascading effect from modeling out speculation that they do acknowledge and don’t care about.

That is called vision.

And delusion.

But I said the same thing about bitcoin being stupid in 2009 here.

"When asked, most men will gallantly express their admiration for women in general and profess a profuse love for their mates in particular. Despite these touching personal testimonials, society is rife with misogyny and patriarchy. A cursory glance at the current newspapers or television news reveals a global society in which the majority of men disdain women. While some cultures are more egalitarian than others, men's actions suggest that they believe firmly in their superiority over women.

I have to agree with appsurd. This sounds like a great idea right now, and you've worked everything out--wait until you've down it for a week.

I moved up to Portlandia from LA to intern at Vizify and thought it would go according to the plan as well. I was also going to document my process as I thought it would make for some interesting content.

I thought the condition would create a pressure that would make me perform and produce more--all it did was create a pressure of homelessness, which killed my productivity. I was always tired and depressed AND dirty.

You're plan makes sense conceptually--but wait till you're actually there and homeless. Figure out an alternative otherwise your productivity will suffer big time and you might as well stay home and make shit happen there.

Good luck!!!

It's understandable that my comment was inferred as being anti Israel. You can't say anything about Israel without it being inferred as such. However, I was merely pointing out some news that I thought was important; the kind of news that would never be covered by our media.

I like to be informed seeing how recessions and wars can directly and indirectly affect my business. Things are heating up over there and Israel is one to follow.

It's not a fair society. I only lived there for a year, but it was enough time to understand that those people you speak of are considered sub human second class citizens by the establishment that calls shots. Israel is fucked. I mean that with no disrespect.

You're right, it's irrelevant. Let's just talk about meebo and shmeebo here.

Guys look at this. I was about to same as CQ, http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/prominent-israeli-rabbi...

Things are about to get so hot over there. This is very big news. This could be the thing that sets everything off.

Did you find a project to work on yet? If you have some interest in social entrepreneurship shoot me a note. I'm in Malibu, so we're close. Meet for coffee in SM?

Looking to meet passionate people interested in big ideas.
