All Swiss bonds out to 30 years are in negative territory. Think about that for a minute. Is it the canary in the mine I hear.

50,000 jobs in the health sector tells me that things are getting worse all round in the US and elsewhere.

It is when paired with wages that outstrip inflation. That indicates high consumer spending which is a strong economic indicator.

Wow. Two positive tweets in three days. It’s completely down to bitcoins rise, but good to see two lots of
10% jumps in a few days.
Looking forward to hitting $0.25 so I can show my face around the people I recently got to buy in.

For a decent analysis of the latest payroll report I would suggest listening to the Peter Schiff podcast from 2nd August. While i disagree with him on crypto and think he has just been too early on his predictions of impending doom, his analysis of the data is very good.

I like Peter Schiff, but his doom and gloom reports should be taken with a grain of salt. He has large ownership in companies that deal with gold and silver investment, and shills them pretty consistently (hence his disparagement of crypto). A downturn in the economy is good for getting people investing in exactly what he shills. Not really a surprise.

Totally agree. He is part of a group who use their doomsday predictions to bring in new money and/or sell books.
Schiff has been singing the same tune ever since he was wrong footed by central bankers’ use of extraordinary tools like QE. Ultimately he will be proven correct but as with everything its all about timing. Nevertheless I always make sure I listen to his payroll podcast. I would also be curious to hear his opinion on MAID as a store of value or medium of exchange. His arguments against bitcoin just dont stack up for MAíD.

Interesting interview. Indeed what is SAFENet worth!!
When he mentioned that there are thousands of people working on and thinking about crypto, it reminded me of two Nikola Tesla quotes.
“The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.”
and
“Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.”
Right now there is a lot of deep thinking and wild ideas when it comes to crypto. Few projects show depth and clarity.
The SAFE Network is a deeply thought out and clearly planned project. When the world recognizes this we will solidly be back in the top 10.

World; “That’s impossible”

I know who is insane…

we either the fools or the ‘‘few’’ smart ones out there to be invested in safenet, time will tell. Back in mid 2017 i tried to convince all my friends and some family members to invest, only one friend did invest a bit in it. I really hope to see the surprised and bitter faces of the people i didnt succeed to convince to invest in safecoin when we go parabolic and beyond.

MAID / SAFECoin comes with an immediate reason to buy the coin. The use of the underlying network to do actual web stuff.
This need will bootstrap the currency faster than anyone will expect. We don’t have to rely on “just trust us, this coin is a store of value”
When the time comes and we see a significant jump in price, people’s “rush to the entrance” will make it impossible to buy cheaply.
The people that turned down your advice will be a little upset.

Yeah but un the meantime people have kept saying “it will pump like hell” for years, and still nothing… I can understand why external people are skeptical with the project. It could have a very good futur but so far there is nothing really valuable.

So far it looks more like Development of Duke Nukem Forever - Wikipedia experiment… 
But I truly hope that they will eventually deliver a great Network.

If, by luck, Safe Network comes at the right time (the time people en masse realize they’ve had it with physical media), it will moon from the get-go.
I for one grow tired of having to back up everything by a day. Although memory sticks and cards keep getting smaller, them getting smaller also means they get lost easily. I have so much data I wanna back up but hate keeping all the physical stuff, I’ll be using the Safe Network as a data storage the moment it gets going.
Imagine that feeling of freedom. It’s all out there and all I have to do is pay once. That’s revolutionary in itself. People are used to paying for something they can hold and put in their pockets. With Safe Network, they will pay once to not have to carry anything in their pockets anymore, and they’ll still own all their data and it will be secure.
That’s huge.

I missed a couple of payments (expired payment card) on a digital ocean drop, terms and conditions state that they can delete your data even backups.
They did.
It was a previous side project that I let slip, am not devistated… but time was put in to it. Would have been nice to have it on the perpetual Web.

See, couple of days ago I talked to a sociologist friend of mine who pointed out something I have not fully realized before.
He said the contemporary ragamuffins (born after 2000) never say ‘on the internet’ or ‘on YouTube’ or ‘on the web’ when talking casually. He said the web is so deeply encoded into their brains and thinking they take it as a regular part of reality. They just ‘saw it’ and they take it everybody knows where.
I imagine something like this could happen with the SN as a storage. People will stop saying ‘I have it on my USB stick’ and stuff like that. They will simply ‘have it’ and they won’t really mention the SN either. If it goes well, everybody will know where. So the specification will turn redundant.
