I really don’t think it is the web that is bad - it is like everything, if you involve humans in any process something bad is going to come out of it.
For all our abilities & the natural resources that have fallen in our lap we really do tend to make a mess of things :)
Sorry Mr Bond, meant to include you as well in the post re "Chips" for good!
Hi Gnome, as you may be aware members of the he Russian army (crooks & gangsters) have looted Ukrainian farm machinery and in such circumstances of theft such chips have proven their worth https://www.theregister.com/2022/05/02/ukrainian_tractors_deere/

So agree with what you say it is possible to use such chip control to the good!
That said the EU has acted in legal owners/consumers and the planets best s making manufacturers move away from glued IT products to those that are held together by screws clips with repair parts available to make their products repairable by their owners.

I don't invest in gold, but do in miners(obviously), and do in crypto.
Traditionally gold investors dislike crypto as see it as a threat as up until recent past it's progress against crypto as been perceived to be investing switching- this is evidently false- look at past years- in the same vain traditional stocks, and again evidently false. Over the past 5years there have always days when this is true, but trend states false. Equally, some gold commentators hate crypto because they wish they'd gone in early and it's progress is a confused annoyance and source of regret, and some just hate seeing cryptos go well because they don't believe in it and display a bad human trait to try to exert their opinion on others even though it has nothing to do with them.
Thanks Mr T,
Thats a great interview, on youtube, and some fabulous idea,s some of which have been abused, and will continue to be, c'est la vie!
My take is that the web does more good than bad, but is capable of infinitely more good than bad, and could even stop the lemmings jumping off of the cliff?

Mr Tibbles I am not saying that will happen.
But it would and could happen for any country under threat, with orbital capability.
Would prevent Nuclear Holocost ,mabe a price to pay for a less less dangerous world.verything with a chip would be neutralised including satelites ,GPS.
Brilliant Tony,
It was so much more enjoyable to travel when people would talk to one another on the bus or train!
If Lowery were to draw today's society he would depict his matchstick people going around with their faces glued to smartphone screens!
Or possibly matchstick people loaded down with Apps so that government and big business can know their every move and habit and ultimately control them by App!

Some very interesting thoughts and comments on this, I especially like the idea of Mr Bond!
More than 30 years ago, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. It started out as a project for the betterment of humanity, but in the decades since, Tim has seen his creation abused by criminals and hatemongers. Tim wants to fix this.

People would actually look up around them and talk to real people again and develop some interpersonal communication skills, learn to add and subtract and actually watch where they are walking in the street.
If someone decides to explode several Neturon bombs in the outer atmosphere its back a century.
Its possible ,so keep your vintage cars and tvs and radios.
No more internet for years.
Nor pcs.
Just a thought.
Cowichan,
Some people have never been in a war. Some people have not gone through a climate event where their home and most of the possessions are destroyed. Some people have never experienced what its like to have no electrical energy and be in a power out situation for days on end. If you had a choice of having two empty margarine plastic containers filled with gold bars or any other kind of pure gold or a digital wallet on an I phone will probably depend on your age, your experience and your opinion of what people will accept in a future world situation. Bitcoin may be great in the world as we see it now, but that is not why many people own physical metals as it is for a real crisis. Tony
Or is Mr. Saylor just conveniently ignoring 5000 years of gold's history?
"Bitcoin is going to gradually demonetize gold over time, gold will go to the utility value of gold, but it won't be adopted as money in the 21st century."

I know there are some here who like to invest in both gold & bitcoin - but why does it seem many bitcoin enthusiasts like to write-off gold ?
