Its not the platform. You need the entire chain upstream. The platform, the servers behind it, the payment processor, even the domain registrars. We literally have to build an entire parallel system.

Yes 👍 this is the way. We need an ecosystem that circumvents all progressive shenanigans. We're going to need it when the world begins their 'great reset'

Paysafe could be an option for payment processing. They are deep into iGaming, which seemingly no other payment processor wanted to touch. I think that implies they are cool with being used for less conventional means. Going public in Q1 through SPAC BFT.

Edit: I believe Paysafe also issues the Coinbase card. So they are in the realm of crypto and online wallets, also. If anyone has followed PayPal and Square stock, you know the potential payment processors have.

Coins made of valuable metals is the pinnacle of payment technology. This computerized version is a poor substitute.

But what about online payments

Many will point to the current practice of buying online, which would be altered significantly if only metal coins were money. But all of your computerized payment options have the exact same problem, which is that payment for a transaction and perfection/completion of the transaction are separated. With coins, they’d send the goods and then hope you pay; with e-“solutions” you pay then hope they send you the goods.

The ideal form of commerce is a store. You go in, find the product you want, take it to the shopkeep and pay. Payment and perfection are nearly simultaneous, which is the ideal arrangement for all parties.

Whats SPAC BFT?

2
ObongoForPrison2020 2 points ago +2 / -0

SPAC stands for Special Purpose Acquisition Company. They are set up with the intention of merging with established companies and taking them public. Kind of like an alternative to an IPO. BFT is the ticker of the SPAC that is merging with Paysafe and taking it onto the Nasdaq. BFT is owned Bill Foley, who is a very successful guy.

Thanks Pede for the explanation. Sounds great, but i can't buy stocks ... too small though. Maybe there is a possiblity to buy crypto.

2
Safety_Third 2 points ago +2 / -0

You absolutely can buy stocks. Don't think you are "too small". You can set up an account with Robinhood and buy $10 of a stock if you want to. Doesn't matter how much the share price is.

Here is a link to join

I'm not trying to shill for them, but just explain what you can do. I used to keep a significant portfolio with Merrill Lynch, after BofA screwed them up, I realized how much I was paying in commissions and tried a bunch of other services, schwab, fidelity, etc. I got a Robinhood account as a "toy" account and only put a couple of hundred dollars into it. Within a few years, because of fractional purchases, no commissions, and super simple trading from my phone, I made more using my robinhood account in a year than I ever did trading with my "big boy" accounts.

You can also buy crypto with robinhood as well.

Seriously, it's too damn easy and way cheaper than a traditional brokerage.

Oh, we do have the rare earths for our needs.

Compared to other deposits around the world? You're right - we're not so blessed as other areas.

The US, though, ties its own hands by using the EPA to place those deposits off-limits, forcing us to be reliant upon our enemies for rare earths.

Again, the alphabets are not our friends...

On the surface, yes.

But when your sources are China or China-controlled African sources, it makes no sense.

The only key thing here is payment processing. The rest can eventually be P2P distributed and serverless, but nothing works if money cannot be exchanged.

Payment processing is so controlled and incestuously intertwined with the government that I don't have the faintest where you would even start with building an independent financial institution.

This guy is a loon. He didn't invent email he wrote a program called E-mail after multiple forms already existed.

Stop giving this guy free publicity. He's a loon.

redbeard 9 points ago +12 / -3

Hang on: it's more nuanced than that. He didn't invent the mainstream branch of email but he did create an early, novel system:

https://web.archive.org/web/20120427014952/http://americanhistory.si.edu/news/pressrelease.cfm?key=29&newskey=1465

He WAY oversells what he did but to say he is completely lying is false.

Yeah, seeing him tossed around is the same way we saw people pushing ACB, Nikki Haley and countless other grifters as being "based" for the last few years.

idk how smart he is or isn't, but the whole email claim is ridiculous and smacks of being the standard Indian "look at me I have credentials for everything" con

SuperMagat 1 point ago +1 / -0

I have him some credit for bagging Fran Drescher, but even that is a bit of a meh.

Definitely a grifter.

Musk keeps popping into my thoughts lately. He might become a major ally for 1A

2
joker 2 points ago +2 / -0

Someone should get to him and convince him that it's a essential thing to do.

1
Safety_Third 1 point ago +1 / -0

I think Musk has already become the ultimate red-pilled human. He's seen what the world is and came to the conclusion of "fuck this I'm out".

Almost everything the guy has been doing is centered around getting off the planet. Tesla? It's more about battery tech and automated transport (on Mars) than it is about making cars for us.....but he needs it to be self supporting. Boring company...not really about building new subways, but about digging out Mars colonies....but he needs it to be self supporting so he gets green pols to pay for his hyperloop. SpaceX....nuff said.

About the only thing that the guy has done lately that isn't about getting off the planet is selling the flamethrowers....but then again I've also seen Aliens (the movie), so maybe....

Big Elon fan, but I don't think he really is going to care much about what goes on here politically because I believe he's really only a few years away from sending the first 100 people to the Moon and Mars.

Trumps still in control, wait till he confiscates all that shit. We will own Twitter, Facebook, Amazon and all the rest. They are tanking their own businesses for a reason and its deeper than just censoring us. It's like we got the house in the divorce and they've left the taps running, broken the windows and set fire to the attic before they leave.

kaczan3 1 point ago +1 / -0

An alternative for twitter would be memo.chash (that's an internet address). The messages get posted on Bitcoin Cash blockchain, so even if the internet site itself gets compromised, the "tweets" stain on the chain forever, and someone can just make another site that reads those old tweets from the chain. You can also tip people with Botcoin Cash for nice messages.

There can't be anyone not 100% patriotic on the board/in ownership of any large amount of stock, or advising or running these companies that will be needed to be set up.

Otherwise, cucks will be bribed, threatened, etc. to give access to data, slow servers, shadowban, etc.

Meanwhile, you guys should really check out Minds.

Watch last Timcast_Irl, he has their CEO Bill Ottman on (for the second or third time)

Judge for yourself what you think of the guy - he seems reasonable and honest to me, though I think he is wrong about a few things, such as 230 protections
