It's been right around the corner for over 5 years.

Could an alternate means of settlement be used? Runescape gold or hawala?

Potentially the involvement of those banks is a feature and provides value?

Things to ponder...

Now you've introduced either a caching problem or a data subscription with a myriad of other trade-offs and I don't think either of those are less trouble than bluetooth.

> Life isn't short--it's LONG

This was true until I was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

It's possible to over prepare and not see the fruits of your labour.

I am of the opinion that NFTs on OpenSea are equally uncool and worthless as any other NFT marketplace including ones created on your local machine in secret.

Lululemon is a regular clothing retailer, with no MLM, membership or even loyalty program at this time.

You can't earn any money by re-selling their clothes, you'd probably get sued if you tried.

You probably mean LuLaRoe, a brand that is capitalizing on the name similarity.

If you print 30 billion and give it to your buddy at an exchange for an IOU/commercial paper.

I guess that counts as a sale, even if the exchange mostly uses it to wash trade the price of cryptocurrencies up.

In tether's terms of service they state that they have no obligation to ever give you any money for 1 tether.

Insurance scams would be a laugh too.

"All my assets got transferred to a random address! You should probably reimburse me because I was clearly hacked."

It's value deprecates over time though, as it's market efficiency drops relative to newer cards.

Your return on the opportunity cost is maximized if you can do work closest to the time the card was acquired.

If you buy a card and leave it in the box for 10 years you have not 'consumed' the card, but you have wasted a few hundred dollars.

From an electricity and financial perspective if you have valuable work to do, your costs are minimized if you do that work closest to the purchase date.

This is obvious if you have a significant workload, but maybe not as obvious if you are running CAD. Is the cost of a new card worth the time saved by the new card? Significantly more efficient if you can keep it busy.

Off the electrical grid ≠ independent of society.
