A voice in the wilderness: Bitcoin
http://allenandson.blogspot.com/2014/10/bitcoin.html
A voice in the wilderness. A lone voice against conformity. Tuesday, October 7, 2014. Bitcoin is a full on fiat currency supported only by the user’s faith that someone else will accept it at what they paid for it. Looked at one way it is a fraud since there it has no intrinsic value supporting it. In another sense it has exactly the same value as an ounce of gold. The trust that someone else will accept the value and exchange it for something we both agree is an equal value. Approximately 800 years ago.

A voice in the wilderness. A lone voice against conformity. Friday, May 2, 2014. I have been watching the new TV show Vikings and in the next to last episode, the king seems to have suborned all of Ragnar’s followers. I was ready to give it up as a dog-eat-dog the winner is the one who stabbed the most friends and followers in the back clone. Imagine my surprise when SPOILER ALERT they all remained loyal to Ragnar! Why did the writers end this season in that way? Is no great concept here and nothing that...

A voice in the wilderness. A lone voice against conformity. Thursday, August 28, 2014. Why the experts aren't helping. In August of 2009, the CNN web page ran an article titled “How to get a job in 100 worlds or less. In almost every case the professional career consultants gave advice that presumed the candidate had skills that very few real life candidates have. These 7 people gave great advice. The problem is that they gave half the advice – strong on what and short on how! The key to economic recover...

A voice in the wilderness. A lone voice against conformity. Tuesday, January 20, 2015. Pin the tail on the donkey. It’s even more frustrating when I had access last Friday but no access Monday morning and IT can’t seem to figure out how to restore that access! I call this piece “pin the tail on the donkey” because in most companies, assigning the cost of unresolved or lengthy computer issues ends up looking like the child’s game.

A voice in the wilderness. A lone voice against conformity. Friday, February 27, 2015. Cost at the pump down by a buck in the last year. My question is where did that buck you are saving come from? Or better still where did that buck go last year that it isn't going this year? In many cases that local gas station is really a franchise holder for that national brand and is an independent business sell that brand fuel in the same way they sell packs of gum or candy bars. At least for very long? Here is the...
