Stop messing with certificates

Heinlein's works did not age well, nor did they stand the scrutiny of time or the rigor of critical science fiction standards that emerged.

There were some interesting themes, though, and you must judge his work against the backdrop of the era, and his audience.

But realistically, who am I to criticize any prolific, successful science fiction author?

I mean, you are a pilot… so go off 🤣

For some reason a lot of early, influential sci fi seems this way to me. I can appreciate it in the context of the time and for the ground it broke, but just doesn’t hold up.

This reminds me I did a • job of keeping up the book club thread I started for this year, guess I’ll try again starting in a couple days.

Keep it real with the books. They exercise parts of the brain digital doesn’t reach…

I believe in block chain and how it can revolutionize our world. I also appreciate @derg a whole lot. However, my experience with losing my medical was much more nightmarish.

I got the class one and stupidly misplaced the paper copy the same day. After 2-3 frantic days of searching for said original copy with signature. I threw in the towel and AME who issued my class one was like: “bruh I can’t issue a new one for 3 months.” Get F-Ed. Employer said your temporary is good for 60 days, retard.” 30 day overhang of no work.

Hit up my dad, an AME. He called OKC and helped straighten it all out. Got a new class 1.

Turns out not everyone has this privilege…. Anyway.

Would have been nice if I didn’t have to keep my original signed copy around. If it was just made valid for 6 months via blockchain. We good.

This is all much different than BTC. Don’t really want to discuss it with people full of hatred and vitriol.

But like fr fr yall want to look at this chart and tell me it’s going to zero?

Blockchain isn't a miracle technology. It has a crap ton of limitations just like with any other tech. It isn't special. It is just new and hyped up.

A 1963 Corvette is worth roughly 1 Bitcoin. You can touch and even use the Corvette. They don't make 1963 Corvettes anymore.Because they are a physical entity the supply will drop over time due to many possible reasons. Once they are gone they will be gone for good. Hence the reason for the value of the car being around $108k and increasing over time.

Bitcoin is a made up digital investment. It has a limited supply and that supply won't likely decline. You can't really use it for what it was designed to do.

Let me ask you. What makes Bitcoin such a great investment over a 1963 Corvette? Why should people put their money into Bitcoin?

All you have offered as evidence so far is a graph that resembles the .com bubble just before it crashed.

Bitcoin is only speculation. That is why you only hear catchphrase and flaccid excuses when people like me bring up the fact that there is nothing at the core of Bitcoin that gives value.

I’ve never brought up BTC on JetCareers. I brought up blockchain to manage documents like my Medical certificate. I’m advocating for decentralization. My one paper certificate that I’m forced to travel with and can not work without it. That’s the opposite of decentralization.

I do find it very odd you’ve brought up a 1963 Corvette to disparage BTC though. It’s even funnier that you don’t realize that BTC also has a deflationary supply.

Here’s the thing. I don’t care if you don’t get it. It’s fine. That’s not why I brought up blockchain on this thread. You did. And you can have all the temper tantrums you want to about it. I’m sure it will all age well.
