There are plenty of satellite picture showing deforestation without people living on it.

Any further sources?

I don't think this works.

Normal companies with plenty of transactions per day don't have the motivation or money to put that much additional capital into the system.

Of course for a few transactions per month no one cares but I assume the goal is bigger than just a few transactions.

It demonstrate that they feel that the software is better free to push their GPUs and this has a higher return than otherwise.

I'm quite lost on what you think would pay for this kind of software?

I did read it but you are right my comment doesn't reflect it.

I always thought that this part of a smart contract is ridiculous as it binds the same amount of capital as the transaction is worth on both sides.

It also doesn't fix the issue if someone with much more money than you wants to f** you over.

It also does assume you would find a good solution together just because of the capital invested but you know there are plenty of people who are not able to negotiate proper.

It just doesn't solve the issue and it doesn't solve issues like if the shipment is lost on sea. Or it's getting stolen.

A independent 3th party actually helps solving those issues.

They are kids.

Kids should be able to have their room door closed but that room is a save space.

The internet is not a save place it's like walking in an huge anyounmous city

You should not let your kids walk alone in a huge city until certain knowledge is learned.

Unfortunately the internet provides even more hurdles than a huge city.

I personally would even create a list of things I would teach my kids over a period of month and years. From grooming, pedophiles, scams, password management, spyware etc.

It might be like this. It's already tremendous impressive how the Ukrainian people stood up to Putin.

But bombing so many civilians means after a while a tremendous loss as well.

It's just speculation and the hope would of course be Putin just getting out of Ukraine but Putin just has much less to loose besides his own death.

I also assume that they will have to surrender but the price will be much much higher than Putin though.

This will not motivate Putin to push forward.

Russia has plenty of things missing (chips etc.)

This will take much more than just a few years.

Sooo I write a smart contract and say you pay 10€ when you buy ice cream?

Who proofs that the smart contract is fulfilled?

Or let's asked different: how does a smart contract solves the trust issue from items not on the Blockchain?

It's easier than ever to life more independent.

And I decided to do this soon due to my more pessimistic view.

We will be even more people in 30 years, weather changes but I'm able to stay connected through the internet and independent through my potential future farm.

But that's the point he made. It's not Blockchain it's Blockchain + escrow.

Escrow needs a third party. It destroys all your Blockchain advantage.
