Re: Bitcoins worth more than gold
Another question for the smart boys like Starkey. Does anyone know of a qualification one can get - one that gives you a bit a paper at the end - in blockchain tech? That's not how the software industry works, it's based almost entirely on reputation rather than qualification. The reason being is t...

Re: Bitcoins worth more than gold
Question for the tech nerds. Aren't there a vast number of cryptocurrencies in circulation? If so, even if the theory that crypto will become big proves correct, how do we know that Bitcoin will come out on top? Think about the rise of social media - we had Friendster, MySpace and Facebook, but Fac...

Re: Are Cambodians "quitters"?
Go look out of your window. Does that look like a tightly regulated marketplace to you?

Re: Are Cambodians "quitters"?
Also there is a tendency (and I'm not saying that this is the case here) for foreigners to come here and start telling everyone how everything "should" be done, and that they know because they come from a place where things "work". Years ago Khmer's actually used to lap this up, but I think they've ...

Re: Are Cambodians "quitters"?
Was this task something that they decided to do all by themselves, or was it something that they were nudged into doing for their betterment? (possibly by their "enlightened" barang acquaintance) If it was the latter, then there is your answer. I find Cambodians to be quite determined when they are ...

Re: Bitcoins worth more than gold
I often hear people say investing in Bitcoin now is like investing in Google or XXX in the early 2000's. But that's a bad analogy because Google is a company with a product(s) and Bitcoin is a protocol. A better analogy would be to imagine that HTTP (another protocol) was tokenised and you could tra...

Re: Bitcoins worth more than gold
It's true it is a completely manipulated market. And I agree, if Joe Blogs zooms in on the bitcoin price and try guess short term movements he will always loose to the bots at the end of the day, just like you will always loose at the casino if you average it out. But the fundamental reasons that al...

Re: Nobody Noticed Wanchalearm
That's an interesting story, especially as it's had no coverage here. The problem with politics in this part of the world is that all sides are throwing crooked dice, so you never get a sense of whether this really happened or it's just a false flag to drum up some publicity. Also, in this modern wo...

Re: Bitcoins worth more than gold
^ That 'prisoners dilemma' is pretty optimistic I think the opposite as the true prisoners dilemma here should have the X axis as 'county A' and the Y axis as 'all other countries'. In that context the scenario where both parties ban bitcoin is highly unlikely. The reality is crypto can't be stoppe...

Re: Does anywhere in Cambodia have decent stable internet?
Sorry, I was too busy telling jokes to provide the vital information.
There's a few but we use Ezecom dedicated fibre, others say Sinet are good. We also run an Opennet line as a fail over.

Re: Does anywhere in Cambodia have decent stable internet?
If by business use you mean paying under $20 per month and sitting around in your underpants eating Cheetos while streaming Game of Thrones in 4k with no buffering. Then no. If by business your mean internet is essential to my business and I'm happy to pay several hundred per month for a dedicated l...

Re: Interview with immigration department about FPCS
I wouldn't worry about it, this app doesn't sound like something the Cambodian government has dreamed up. And like all "good ideas" that get pushed on them from third parties they will be very proactive and vocal right up until the point the project ends along with the funding, then it will get thro...

Re: Looking for design suggestions for small house.
Use the bottom floor as parking and garden. Roof gardens never really work in this country, it will usually be hot, dirty or both. Bottom floor will be the coolest and your better half will keep it clean and tidy because everyone who comes will see it. Then stack your existing design above that, but...
