BTC City Today I visited BTC City. It's a very large commercial complex and most stores tahr #crypto, also #BCH as payment. My plan used to be to buy BCH and go spend it, but with the current developments my 'investment' would actually loose in value before I could use it, let alone the fees. So I payed with EUR. I bought many presents, Grandpa Frost will be generous this year it seems. And what am I doing now? #coffeeZeit at Harry's coffee corner, of course! #RandomThoughts #KingOfCoffee #RandomThought #coffee

The inevitable coffee, I just got another one to keep me awake! Good afternoon
Got to fo do some more shopping now, lol.
Wich fees do you mean? I've just paid with BCH (over GoCrypto POS) and I didn't paid any fees.

These are fees for the merchant I think. You as a customer do not pay a fee. At least I haven't paid one here.
I did not check exactly, I only know it was 1.60€ (coffee, what else?!) and the transaction was worth 1.62€ according to the wallet. That's all.
Yes, I have checked. There was probably a small fee. With the small amount, I didn't notice it at all. I bought a beer, then there were a few cents more, but it's vanishingly small. It doesn't matter. The price fluctuations are much bigger every day.
I agree, I was just honest and tried to take everything into account. So by paying with crypto, you are charged something you wouldn'tbbe if you paid with FIAT. Where did you pay by crypto?
In a Pub in Rijeka with BCH
Cool! 🖖❤️
What car do you drive?
Opel Zafira (called Wauxhall Zafira in the US). Why?
I know opel, It's kinda popular in Europe just as pegeout and Renault also TATA
There's a renault factory here and various autoparts industry for eu car companies.
Oh, that's nice, but I don't tend to see any eye-catching vehicles from the Renault tho
Clio II wasthe best car I ever owned, hehe, memories!
Why don't you get into the top dogs race Buy a Benz or Audi or Range Rover or BMW
1. I could not afford it. 2. I would have no use for it. My work is 16 minutes away. I have a family and two small dogs, so a BMW of such size, lol. 3. If I could afford such a car I'd buy a small appartment instead. A car is a vehicle. I don't care about prestige.
Oh well, I guess this is not you talking maybe if you had been well established you'd never say this things😂
What do you mean?
You never felt good money consistently
True.
That's why you talking about this way,
No. I'd still try to have more time off and buy more cheap plane tickets and explore the world. I don't see a point in owning a car if I onlybuse it to go to work (16 min each way) and occasionally on daily excursions with my family and then perhaps yearly on a road trip. I don't see a point in owning a BMW, AUDI, MBenz or some expensive monster of a car. Truly. If you gift me a BMW whatever series i promise I'd sell it even if I had millions of dollars. Or gift it to my sis or someone. I don't need it.
Yeah, yeah When you've got the money you'd rephrase all you just said, lol. So I won't argue with you anyways 😅
I don't beleve we're arguing. Sorry if it came across that way. I am not saying I would not want to be wealthier. That would be fing great. It's not that much about what I could afford, it's more about what I could afford not to do. I would definitely move to a bigger and more comfortable place as my family is growing, I'd prefer a house over a flat. Not too big, room per person, guest room, open space kitchen, living room. A computer/robotics room for me, art studio for my dear N. I would travel. The world. We used to before covid and we will again, it would be easy itlf I were wealthy. I could go on ... but a car is waaaay down the list. Really. Sorry if I dissapointed or offended you in any way. A car is really not important to me.
With money comes power could control you even. You don't know what you are saying 😁.
Oh, I do! I'm just not very rich, that's all. So you are a rich guy I guess?
Still need money if that's what you mean, lol.
We alldo it seems.
The human wants are unsatisfying so everyone just needs a bit of everything and again and again and again
I don't go for commodity fatishism so much. It brings a feeling of great satisfaction only to leave a slightly larger void.
Yes, that's how it always is and you can't beat it.
Yes and no. You can control it. Education is key. And not any education. Youtube diplomas don't count, lol.
Now you are specializing it, it meant education didn't specify any
What do you mean by that?
It means education all around, so don't leave any out of it
A youtube video cannot ever compare to a single proper lecture, let alone studying Durkheim, Mauss, Skinner, Freud, ...
All serve one purpose, passing on knowledge And there's nothing you can do about it, lol.
I don't oppose passing on knowledge. I woule i never. I beleve education is very important. Not all sources are equaly good.
But it all serves the purpose then it's left to you to choose which is That doesn't underestimate the fact why it is why it is
True. Ut is questionable how deep, trusted and real the data in non-peer reviewed texts is. That's all.
Kk.
But sure, we are all under that influence. 🖖 If that: I beleve in computers, not cars. Hehe
