Tryna zap you, but no wallet?

Thanks brother 🤜🤛 didn’t expect more than an eye roll so I appreciate the chance to learn a bit

I use a Redmagic phone because it uses all metal and glass exterior casing, but it still has some kind of mysterious chemical coatings on it like every phone. Manufacturers everywhere on earth actually seem dedicated to making things incorrectly, with money not factoring in

If the quality and warranty coverage are similar to a Toyota, the price will be similar to a Toyota for a customer in the US

If you buy an iPhone from China in the US you won't have the same quality assurance, return policies, etc. as if you bought at an Apple Store in America unless you pay at least around the price you'd pay at an Apple Store in America

iPhones are your Chinese option, where is the problem.

Cost isn't price

The market rarely offers customers in the US a Chinese option that takes advantage of cheaper manufacturing there while also offering similar quality assurance, return policies, etc.

This also sets up for tariffs to be really damaging, the Chinese advantage is kinda ruined for Americans with tariffs

Yes but if you don't buy a 2nd scooter then you have to find parts and stuff

And if a Chinese product has the same kind of quality assurance and customer service as an American product, the price will be similar too

I agree with you but I can also answer your question -

If you're buying an American made scooter, your plan for dealing with any issues should be to expect service and replacements for defects, baked into the high price you're paying

If you're buying a Chinese made scooter, your plan for dealing with any issues should be to buy 2 scooters and deal with any defects yourself, and that plan is baked into the lower price you'll pay

I like Chinese stuff but this is why some people would call it "slop"

No monitors? That's BS.

If I make a "come to work here cafe", every table gets the same 29" external monitor. You pay for time seated, coffee and good sandwiches are free.

So?

Isn't x–1 minutes of CO2 release per year by a jet engine still better than x minutes of it?

Or you could buy a chess board for $5 at a garage sale.

90 dollars for the latest Nintendo game?

Get the fuck outta here.

you're not making any sense but thanks anyway

if you are telling CCP that USA govt are the stable ones they will absolutely lol

I think this may be how we win, and it's happening right now.

BRICS are already moving to a USD alternative for international trade and reserve currency. If successful this will destroy the current world economic order and the dominance of the USA whose economy is based on getting the world to hold USD and US treasuries to fund all the wars etc thru moneyprinting and borrowing.

So Trump responds by pushing a USD stablecoin - USDT or something they make. The reason to do this is to persuade *plebs* worldwide to keep using USD, not Yuan / BRICScoin.

To persuade plebs and get max reach in this currency war, USDT must have as low barriers to entry as possible. That means no KYC, no surveillance, as many wallets as possible etc.

Maybe yuan / BRICScoin follow suit, chasing plebs.

The basis of competition is that anyone in the world can easily go into OR OUT OF these govcoins.

At this point they have literally become shitcoins - you should see them on coinmarketcap etc. The USD world will all basically have a "crypto" wallet with USDT.. ..but also all the other govcoins and shitcoins.. ..and also bitcoin.

You see where this is going!!

Yeah I’m not doing that in my late 40s with a decent fiat job and supporting a family in an already expensive place.

Because I want bitcoin to win the world and I want to be a participant in it.
