Maybe the best one can do is anti-monopoly laws, but determining whether a monopoly is 'harmful' and discouraging fair priced competition or creates a barrier to entry is not easy.

Thailand has those but they don't matter. Just look at how CP snapped up Tesco Lotus. They now control around 90 percent of all food retail in Thailand with this deal. Rich always get richer...

It probably doesn't sit well with many, but unless someone can come up with a viable solution, this is how the world operates. There are vultures in nature and another type in society, given the term 'vulture capitalists'.

Solution: Stop corrupt officials from doing further damage to the people.

...and that is the key..........you are quite right, particularly with all your family responsibilities......if you can't cope with losing the whole lot overnight.....don't invest.

 

I would cry my eyes out if it collapsed, but financially I would be losing something I never really had.......

I thought as much. Only good if you already have wealth and can afford to lose it.

Do you constantly watch Bitcoin prices and could you cash out quickly if you needed to? I couldn't do it. Not rich enough!

The number 1 most crucial factor is ... buying them in the first place. Have you?

 

If not, consider the question answered ????

 

That's a very good response!

Unfortunately, whilst I earn enough for a very comfortable life here, I don't have money free to invest. Too many damn bills...  new house, car, children at university. I wouldn't feel comfortable 'gambling' it when I also read about people who lose everything, and I have family to take care of here.

Just wondered why TVF members seem to always be pulling in  5/6/7 figures. You never hear of one member who has lost anything. Perhaps there's some secret initiation ritual? Or do these members already have wealth....

If it helps:
I went today (March 23) to my local immigration office and applied for another 60 days extension to my visa which is currently due to expire on April 25. They took the money and gave me a receipt and the usual under consideration stamp, to return on April 5. 
The IO said they would extend until June 25 but that this is the last time... But they also said that last time I extended.

Oh, I didn't know you could do that! I thought there was a rule somewhere about applying for extensions no earlier than 15 days prior to the end of your current extension (I'm not sure)...

So could I apply for another covid ext on the 29th March (My current extension runs out on the 29th April) And get stamped in until 27th June? Ubon IO - Sirindhorn Dam office (not inner city, it's too busy!)

Correct and there are already quantum resistant cryptos being worked on.

 

One just launched and has made me six figures in a week, check it out, it is called Cellframe, and the ticker is CELL. 

How is it everyone on this forum makes a fortune with crypto? Is there some sort of juice i'm supposed to drink, or lick the computer screen on the TVF homepage or something?

Marijuana may exclusively refer to anything anybody wants it to refer to as it's a matter of opinion.Language is rather flexible that way if you hadn't noticed according to linguists who study at Uni.

Don't be so silly. That's not how language works.

Let's just say your real name is FarFlungFalang, but I decide that that your name is PooPooPants. Thailand should be Corruptland? UK should be StupidlyDivorcedEU?

No. Marijuana exclusively refers to Marijuana, the same way that Thailand refers exclusively to Thailand, and your name refers exclusively to you.

It all depends on tolerance. If you have been smoking heads all the time what you say is true but if you smoke leaf regularly it can still affect you. I remember stopping for a while and then rolling up and putting in as much bud as I usually smoked in a joint. It nearly wiped me out as my tolerance had gone. It is like junkies who take heroin after stopping for a while. They hit up what they usually have and their body can't tolerate it so it kills them. It also depends on the quality. Skunk leaf has more of a kick than others. I tried to take as many varieties of drugs as I could.

Sounds more like a kids tale, told to stop them from even trying the leaf.

If he has any sense he'll pass and let William take over. I doubt he'll say so before she dies as it might upset her, though IMO she should have abdicated and let Charles have his turn 20 years ago.

If that had happened then the Royal family would be no more and we would be the United(ish) Republic of GB&NI.

Charles wouldn't be any good, he's too busy talking to the plants to be king:

In a previous 1986 interview, Prince Charles explained that he talks to every plant he meets. He said: "I just come and talk to the plants, really – very important to talk to them. They respond."

I used to smoke leaf all the time. It may not leave you rolling on the floor but it does have an affect. 

Perhaps you were too stoned at the time, and actually you were given a 'reef" not a leaf... (reef being an actual joint. )

The leaf will have no effect.

Well, according to the periodic table of elements, your next promotion should be Vanadium (23).

Interesting facts: It's a metal, produced from smelter slags and is rarely found in nature. It's named after the Scandinavian goddess of beauty and fertility, Freyja.

Have you tried clearing cookies / cache / storage (google play store-storage-clear data) & checked for an update?

It's a gamble. Crypto rises up and falls down more often than a young tourist's penis in soi cowboy (pre-covid...)

Great way to make some cash now, if you have balls of steel, and a big enough bank balance to not care. If you don't already have wealth, then you probably don't have anything invested. Seems to me like another 'rich people getting richer scam.'  There is NOTHING of value in these transactions, mining or operating. Pretty much the same as the stock market. Rich people invest money to get returns. The average person doesn't have time, knowledge or skills to use this as a currency.

AI will make it obsolete in the future anyway as supercomputers and AI will be able to solve these blockchain puzzles at a rate that these pools of people and mining rigs can't do. If you were in early and have made gains, that's great. If your new to it, why bother now?

That's the road from Warin -Ubon. Mrs Ubon just laughed and said "yup, that's Warin people."

Let the pogroms against illegal foreigners begin! 

I'm seriously reconsidering my options! Perhaps a crackdown is looming?

I was offered a visa solution a couple of weeks ago when I got my last covid ext (well, technically they spoke to my fiance) direct from the IO. 15 months 55k
