This railway story can be put parallel to other handout projects. A cleaner environment is something i believe most want, but these zero nett carbon blabla initiatives are destroying natural habitat, building retarded wind-farm projects in the sea.
Bitcoin reigns when it can be used to pay for gas, get food, pay rent etc. But grocery stores don’t accept it where I live. Local farmers might. Social housing won’t accept btc rent ,( would one be better off to decline the social befits ones country gives, may we then stop paying taxes? ;))
Someone with an extra room/house might accept btc. Gas stations.. how would they do that? I know no owners and most are unmanned.
Tech needs to be simple to pay and receive ( thats what you’re working on). People need to see the necessity to get paid in btc, not fear it of hate it, else it’s a waste of time. People hate being told what to do or that they are wrong.
So people skills, communication skills. Wisdom to know when to tell someone about it.
Is there a way to not need all this tech. Lets say we have a some tech, a wallet and laptop, but no pay-station/smartphones to send and receive at a shop. I want to buy your car. I give you my 12 words in exchange for the car keys plus trust with time that you can send the value on it to an other 12 words wallet. Only with trusted folks would this maybe work and it has little privacy.
If I want to buy food.. yes yes layer one gets expensive.. Are there layer two wallet seeds?
I give you 12 words that still need a passphrase. Tx history shows these 12 words are legit. Once I get my hamburger and fries served I give you the passphrase. And time and my trust for you to send it to your wallet.
Okay I know this is all slow and full of holes.. Yry maybe the world can do with some slowing down, like what happens to socity when a nice tick layer of snow falls, all is calm.
When we speak of handouts. When one makes open source software,, is the hardware open source? Who makes the chips, who owns the raw materials and factories to make it all?
We need JJ Hill figures that want to build railways for bitcoin.. Good luck, such characters are out there.
That’s my noting out in the cloud.
