Replacing means that Apple doesn't innovate further.

This always happens with big companies, Nokia, Ericsson, Yahoo, they are replaced by new companies.

5 years ahead for the big company means no progress.

Apple is where it was 5 years ago in terms of innovation. They havent done anything new that was meaningful and only reap the benefits of what jobs invented 15y ago.

He's not a snake oil salesman, but he could be over his head in this one.

Regarding charge backs, why can validation node not simply make a transaction back from the fraudulent vendor to the consumer.

Obviously, there would need to be adequate proof that the nodes then review, but once that is given, what's the problem.

Furthermore, the fraudulent vendor would be investigated for fraud and facing a fine or jailtime.

This could be a dapp on the blockchain.

I don't see why this can't be done by a team of trained lawyers and judges that review these fraudulent transactions.

Having no ego isn't really a good thing.

Before modern times it makes you starve and die, because you didn't feel like you need to be selfish to take precautions for winter and put the needs of others first.

Today, it'll prevent you from becoming well off and free from corporate bullshit, because you don't really have ambition. So you have to work for the rest of your life in some middle class job.

Having a big ego is bad, having no ego is bad.

You need to figure out in which situations you need a big ego and in which you need none.

You can do a tonsillotimoy instead of a tonsillectomy.

It's a much less invasive surgery and they only burn down your tonsils bit by bit and you can leave the next day.

The main fallacy like you see in this thread is that it everyone thinks it needs to seem unintentional, so that you're not "needy".

This is a big fallacy.

Don't try to make it seem coincidental, instead make a real effort. Here 3 steps on how it works

1. Go to meetups, try out lots of new hobbies, connect with everyone on facebook immediately if you click. Do it with guys and girls. Some will be awkward, but most don't care and just say sure and connect.

2. Then keep the conversation alive a bit and meet up with them around the activity or meet up you met, ask who is going to the next meet up, be it hiking, exchanging info about cryptocurrencies, ruby on rails or whatever. You can also make chat groups on messenger with 10 people or so

3. Be a value giver, be an organizer, be the one who knows what's going on, people gravitate to people like that.

4. Doing this is not needy as long as you are a value giver. However, don't ask people all them time for value, don't be a value drawer too often.

5. Keep it lighthearted, don't become pissed if people don't join your meet up or son't reply. This is needy behaviour. After a few months, you should have 100 people in your new social circle, so what do you care if one doesn't come

As you can see this takes effort, but this is a recipe of how you can build a vibrant social circle for you within a few months time every time you come to a new city.

Most people don't do that, because they are so scared of rejection. But what do you care if 20 people don't want to connect with you when a 100 do. There are always people who want to stay for themselves, are weird or asocial.

What did people/girls say who stroke your hair? What was their reaction to you saying it was a tattoo?

Or maybe start to focus on how cryptocurrencies just aren't working, are a waste of precious energy, and don't currently have real value outside of those that hold it and trade it.
