has anyone thought of having pedestrian crossings with bitcoin?

want to cross the road pleb?
better pay up, also make sure you pay enough to get all the way across before the motorists outbid your offer.

i think this will disrupt the crossing the road sector.

filing a trademark and then using that to seize their domain would be funny, but then it would require an irl name and irl address on the tm database for any crazy to see. unless the trademark is put under another entity but this takes effort.


i decided to do a search on the uspto as it's been a while. i like how a canadian firm is trying to register the word mark "CERTIFIED BITCOIN EXPERT" and "CERTIFIED BITCOIN PROFESSIONAL" (86412575 and 86412567 respectively)



"certifying individuals and organizations as having met the applicant's standards for providing information, professional services, and advice in connection with bitcoin technology."

once they've been published if someone informs /r/bitcoin that they are trying to regulate these terms at least one of them will spend irl money opposing the applications.

sorry for your mental deficiencies if you think switzerland's neighbours are even remotely better than it.

Like I said, it's a cool place to visit if you're not black or muslim. Just don't stay unless you're wealthy

like many other forums posters and swiss citizens i am not part of the wealthy elite because i didn't invest in bitcoin, but i can attest life is possible without a private bank account, g5 and a butler, the salaries follow the cost of living somewhat. for tourists it really is pricey and hotel costs alone are a rip off, but for getting out of the cities and visiting the country side and summer/winter sports it is amazing.

muslim tourists are very welcome, emirates airlines were lobbying to get geneva airport expanded to fit a380 capabilities because they already have or project having that scale of volume on their dubai - geneva service.

to be clear there are problems in switzerland and there is a problem with racism and due to the subtle nature of it (like employment practices) a lot of people are unaware of it going on thus consider it not a problem. at least with every new generation it is being pushed out, also it's not like the police force is murdering black dudes.


sweden is an amazing country. it's also easy to understand how people get them confused if they are illiterate.

i think european countries have avoided that extreme american myopia only because until recently they were threatened by or at war with or invaded by their neighbours and then participation in the eu made avoiding happenings outside of the borders unavoidable. also europeans love their nationalism and a massive part of that is about how superior they are to their lovely inbred neighbours.

FrozenVent posted:

somehow i doubt this is about tourism

there are many business links, it's hard to explain how geneva is fills up with wealthy arabs during the summer, some will even fly over their favourite car, so it's common to see plates from the emirates on mclaren mercedes or custom lambos. the city courts this clientele because they often have their family offices based in geneva and happen to spend a lot of money during their stay, along with the chinese they are big spending tourists. the swiss like money, they don't ever let race or ethics get in the way of that.
