Pro Bitcoin, anti Bitcoin as 'store of value' or 'digital gold'. Bitcoin is the purest form of permission less money we've ever had. It's time to take bitcoin back to it's roots, and I'm working on that with www.getswype.io
I discovered the answer to this question a while ago when working in an uber eats competitor. Drivers continue to drive for uber long term because they literally cannot do much else.
Take toronto, ontario for instance. I've spoken to hundreds, and recruited hundreds of drivers, and ~85% of them speak very little english, have extremely few skills, and are in a position where they have to pay bills NOW, and can't afford to invest in themselves. Its sad, but they're trapped in a vicious cycle.
Wow, surprising how nice Uber have been during these layoffs. I'm assuming they either cannot afford anymore negative press given that they look like a failing company to the world, OR they've legitimately transformed themselves from the early days. Id say the former, but I hope the latter
Every time I run into bugs, and feel like I'm doing everything right, but it's just behaving unreasonably for some reason, but then find the issue and feel stupid. This one is one of those
So now being against freely printing $3 TR, and sending out handouts is considered 'unacceptable'?
I personally know friends who claim that they'd stop working if they keep receiving handouts. And I live in Canada, where handouts are MUCH easier to come by.
You claim 'broad public support'. Any source to back that up?
Yup, I was working on it myself, but shelved it to work on another startup right now.
I wrote a complete system like a Shopify for small retailers integrated with delivery etc. But the code is locked in a private repo for me to get back to if my current startup fails.
As a former founder working on the sharing economy/delivery space, UberEats will most likely fail, unless their ATG departments hit home-runs (~5% probability)
The economics are impossible to sustain, and I've been on the ground first hand talked to over 1000 owners at restaurants, grocers etc. Every single one of them has a timeline to get rid of Eats, Doordash, Instacart etc. They're just waiting for the right time to build out their own systems.
There was an enormous opportunity to help them build their systems out that I might pursue if my current venture fails.
Same feeling here. My gpa in college was absolutely abysmal, but I've since sold a startup, and working on deep tech right now. School really measures nothing but how good you are at adhering to protocol.
