One of the best times to enter if you were thinking of joining. I personally would stay away from Bitcoin though.

There’s absolutely nothing to criticize Sbux for what he has done / not done. It seems like he has a good grasp of things and just stumbled over something he hasn’t experienced before and shared his story for some input. Nothing wrong with that.
Doing a startup in Thailand can be viewed in two ways...an opportunity with some risk or a challenge with little hope.
Let’s face it, most “start ups” here basically copy something that’s been done in the West before, especially America. However, the startup here thinks they can do it better and / or adjust it to the southeast Asian market.
No need to compete with a big player in the West if you can be the first here and possibly do it better. It does come with a price: the headache of doing business here.

While I have not transferred funds from an exchange to a hardware wallet ( only to software wallets ), I intend to eventually get a hardware wallet. One thing many always cautioned was to make sure it is actually a new wallet ( No malware installed on it or tampered with ). If you ordered directly from the source, you should be fine. If you ordered from a market place ( Lazada, amazon, aliexpress etc ) pay extra attention.

Sorry I cant help with instructions on the transfer. I am sure somebody else will be able to guide you.

Yes

Seems like your extremely unhappy with Apple. You should sell your Apple device(s) and switch to something else.

However, you may want to replace the battery first for 1000 baht at an authorized apple retailer to get a better resale value.

In all fairness....Point number 2. I am sure he is aware of that. Especially because he mentioned that he had no clue they were all related until after the fact.

I feel your pain. I understand your frustration and surprise. But as you've been around quite a bit, I am sure you've ran across your fair share of "trouble employees". Maybe not to the extend you experienced this time, but you shouldnt make ONE negative experience your summary of start up in thailand or employees in general. Give it a bit more time to gather more negative points....they will come ;).

I hope you are / were able to recover from the chaos she created.

Guys, I completely understand the frustration having to read "Craig krups" replies. After a few I just started skipping them.

It obviously is no use to try to explain our standpoint, as we are the idiots, he is right. Let him believe that, let him run around with a smile on his face that he "showed us wrong".

His time has passed. He is still talking about "back in the days", while we are talking about "in a few years"....no common ground. We dont care about the past, he can't see the future.

I am sort of lucky with my dad. While he keeps messing up computers and has problems with technology, he sure does try to keep up with things. He trusts the younger generation about the future...he doesnt have much of a choice anyway :)

Sorry, I should have mentioned it too: I had it done in thailand ( Ubon Ratchathani ) at the istudio in central plaza.

All the info i posted is correct. I did mention the Apple store ( yes, I know there is no apple store in thailand ) because you can get it replaced at an Apple store.

If your battery has been good for 2.5 years ( similar like mine ) that’s great. Mine was still ok too ( no slow down YET ). Mine was at 80% capacity, but still acceptable.

Be sure that being 2.5 years old, your battery WILL degrade sooner or later.

My wifes 7+ is only about a year old. Her battery is perfectly fine, but in December I will have that battery replaced too ( eventhough in December it will still be fine too ), but the clock will start ticking at 2 years old. Replacing it in December will easily get another 2 years out of it.

Edit: sorry, not sure anymore if it was iserve or istudio.

There seems to be confusion on the replacement topic. Here some info:

- Eligible for battery replacement:

iPhone 6

iPhone 6 Plus

iPhone SE

iPhone 6s

iPhone 6s Plus

iPhone 7

iPhone 7 Plus

iPhone 8

iPhone 8 Plus

iPhone X

- Has to be at the apple store or authorized retailer

- Offer valid for calendar year 2018

- One time replacement only ( ie: can not change now and again at the end of the year )

- Offer good even if the battery is still in good condition ( has to be an original apple battery )

- If an authorized retailer refuses to replace your battery because it is still good: Report them to apple.

I signed up for battery replacement in mid january. My battery didnt slow down my phone ( 6s ), but I noticed the battery wouldnt hold a charge that well anymore. Meantime I upgraded to iOS 11.3 and the battery feature says my battery was still ok, but at 80% capacity.

On April1st I had my battery replaced. Took 30 minutes. The only diagnostics check that was done on my phone was AFTER my battery was replaced, to show it is a brand new battery ( 0 cycles ) and functioning properly

Great post and I understand your point, though mostly dont agree with it.

Bitcoin probably wont make / "take over the world", but I do believe there will be / is some very crypto out there that will give Visa/MC, banks, Western Union, currencies etc a run for their money.

I know of one crypto that is working on many of the issues / concerns you raised and looking into the leadergroup, I believe they will solve many of these problems that many crypto currencies can not solve because they're working with the bitcoin blockchain.

This crypto technology is very new and complex and this is part of what gives these currencies their value. I don't believe a technology needs to be backed by money to function. It just needs to function really good and gain users.

prime example: Facebook

they're "worth" 500 billion. They're not backed by anything except technology. Their income come mainly from advertising but only because they have....2 billion? users.

Imagine 2 billion people using crypto to do transfers, payments...all this solely based on the technology ( which needs a few more years to develop and generating a user base ). Once the technology is there, I am sure Amazon, Alibaba, Ebay etc will start accepting crypto and from then on...merry christmas to the early risk takers....and adopters.

Also just did a quick google search. This should help too:

Has anyone found a way? I've got the same problem with listing my business on Apple maps.

Has anyone found how to do this?

Please check Post #5 and #7 in this thread...it should provide your answer.

Its a different market here and different rules.

I am sure there is a reason why they do not have. Either it doesnt sell well here or some sort of pricing issues or import issues....but there is a reason they don't have it

Yesterday evening I transferred Thai Baht from my Bangkok Bank to Bx' Kasikorn account

Just a few months ago I stayed at "Seven Bee Boutique Hotel" ( Google it ). Good location, Clean, spacious rooms. Breakfast was very basic, but got the job done

It is a new building and prices were very good as well.

A couple posts above yours "just bob" posted a couple of FB names / shops that have aftermarket accessories. The facebook page also shows their website.

https://www.japanhobby.net/

https://www.likitracingshop.com/

 

I saw they had hooks for the aerox, which I will order. There are a few things on their I dont know what they are and will have to find out the coming days before I order the hook.

You can also buy / order hooks and other accessories here.

I ordered a stock hook at Yamaha when I bought the bike. It was installed, but it actually is no use for me. If I want to hang something, the gas tank is in the way and the bag hangs to left or right and is in the way of my feet. Just not very practical. And using it as a cup holder is even worse.

I am still trying to figure out a better way of installing a cup holder / bag holder. I am thinking of ordering metal side bars and having hooks added on to the side bars. But I am afraid that makes my bike unnecessary wide to get through traffic.

How would you explain a few years ago in Greece, the citizens were allowed to only withdraw 50 Euro of THEIR OWN MONEY per day from banks?

Something similar happened to in England back in the 60's or 70's...I dont remember when it was. I must also admit, this is going off a story from somebody I had many discussions with and I did not actually research his claim...but I can see it being true.

Just these two things alone made me think "Is my money really safe in the Bank"? Should I maybe store it in a safe, but there I remember stories from my grandma how during war time soldiers just took over their house and they lost everything. ( military = government )

Enough stories of corrupt police marching into houses and stealing things and no evidence. ( Police = government )

Then there is also an example of the Reichsmark. Worthless after the war.

What happens if the US or any strong economy go into a major war or loads of terror attacks?

I did not study business / finances, but I KNOW nobody really understands all the sh*t that goes on. Huge market crash in 2008...and just recently "another" Dow adjustment. Everything just seems overall inflated and it just doesnt feel right.

I do not trust the current financial system and dont see it getting any better...quite the opposite actually.

I also can not foresee that cyrpto will survive, but I just dont see how this can fail. It just needs time to shine. The people decide the value, not the government. Interesting new concept.....time will tell how this spans out.

I am going to take the time to reply to IKN. I am not sure if he is just flaming or genuinely interested in the "hype" on cyrpto/bitcoin and wants to understand it...out of my perspective of course. Opinions may differ.

First of all, I would like to say that cyrpto is "new" and thus a big risk and always will be risky...just like the stock was a risk when it started and to this day is still a risk. Just like money is a risk and to this day is a risk...I think the same is with cyrpto.

I would say cyrpto currency is similar to the stock market:

Buy 1 Google stock for $1. A year later it is worth $5. Another year later it is worth $100. And then you "cash out". Who decides the stock is worth $100. Google doesnt really have any assets, except for a unbelievable good algorithm. Where did the $99 profit you made come from? People just think the company is worth x million/billion of dollars.

When I worked, I got money transferred to my account every other week. I logged into my account and saw numbers. Then I wrote checks to pay mortgage, I shopped online, I paid my bills online. The money I earned, I never physically saw / touched. They were just digital numbers.

If the US would've gone bankrupt...or more bankrupt than now ;), my dollars could've been worthless..especially in other countries.

The currency is not really backed by anything. They can print money at will. It is just a piece of paper...and people accept it because they know they can use it to pay rent and buy groceries etc.

Who decides the value of gold? It is said that gold is what the world resets itself, the currency will be gold. IF the world comes to end, what good is gold for you if you dont have enough food to survive?

Cyrpto currency will be the future of currency. I even could see countries creating their own cyrpto currencies.

Do I plan on cashing out on cyrpto? No way Jose.

What is my goal? To have the cyrpto(s) of the future ( Sorry, I dont think it will be bitcoin ). I would like to have as many cyrpto as possible while the price is low. I would like to be able to go on amazon and use my xyz cyrpto to buy a TV ie.

I would like to use my xyz cyrpto to pay bills or book a vacation.

Right now the use is very limited, but give it some time many people will start accepting it and the value of the cyrpto will rise.

There's a new iCare store in Central Mall Pattaya. I think it's the 4th floor where all the hair salons are located. They only charge 6900 baht to replace a Macbook Air battery. Bargain!!!

I think that is the standard price for a macbook battery replacement.

The "Bargain" replacement battery we're talking about is the iphone battery replacement at 1000 Baht instead of the normal ~4,000 Baht.

I am using iServe in Ubon Ratchathani. They are located in Central Plaza. I am sure in BKK or Pattaya Malls have iServe shops. iStudio may work as well.

If you do find a shop, there will most likely be a waitlist to put your name on.

I put my name on the waitlist in mid january and stopped by today for an update and I have 31 people ahead of me and he said approzimately 2 more weeks....so I am counting on another month or so

Then you must have a pretty wild business model to accept widely variable outputs to presumably fairly constant inputs.  Good luck to you.!!

Or I just have a good sense what the future holds for us just by reviewing the past 15 years. However, I still am fairly young and could be wrong, BUT I could be spot on and one day tell my grandchildren the story of when and how cyrpto started and how a hunch shaped where we are at now.

Only time will tell :)

I would assume there was similar confusion / distrust / questions / risk / uncertainty when the first paper bills were printed and people were supposed to accept this piece of paper that had a value printed on them

Yupp, line@ should work. If I remember correctly, you can even disable 1on1 chats and also disable comments or likes on your broadcasted message.
Free you will get a random line account name, it will look something like this: @je83ksg
Everybody in your village would need to add that as friend ( could be done via qr code too ).
For 6usd per year, you can create a custom@xyz account. ie @moo12

Good luck :)

Hmm, with the new news from Thailand about financial institutions accepting / working with cyrpto, I wonder if it will eventually trickle down to all businesses and if it is even worth it to start accepting cyrptos
