I keep thinking we need monero insurance (life, health, auto, etc) where premiums are paid in monero and benifits are only paid out in monero. What services do you think we need?

        Yes. So this engineering service can certainly negotiate with vendors to accept Monero directly and cut out any credit card fees.

    I think we need a monero based encyclapedia. Like a wiki fork where instead of a wikimedia foundation, a company being created to manage the software stack, lies a decentralized XMR network powered encyclopedia engine.

    I don’t think anything is “needed.” Monero is a currency, ideally it will be used for everything a currency is used for.

    Insurance is a scam. You are better off saving and investing 50-80% of your earnings and you will be OK no matter what comes up. Plus you will be able to retire early.

      Yes, but that also assumes that most people are smart enough to do that. Have you seen the way some people financially plan? Most people could not afford, say, cancer treatment by themselves, no matter what.

        Yes, it does take some effort on your part if you wish to be come independent and prepared.

        As for cancer, it can be easily prevented as it is a disease caused by deficiency in an essential compound (vitamin B-17) which most people do not ingest. More info: https://monero.town/post/1263720

        Just like the disease scurvy was just a simple deficiency in vitamin C but the experts were baffled for hundreds of years even though the solution was already known by many people.

            FDA also approved poison injections a couple years ago, so… The FDA is there to protect big pharma profits, no cancer, no profits, simple.

            FDA approved drugs cause millions of deaths yearly, why not banned yet?

              Are you taking these B-17 supplements daily? I’m just as much as a cynical person as the next guy, especially when it would comes to the pharmaceutical industry, but since cancer affects all life on earth, I think there is some nuance to it. The cynicism in me says that this B-17 vitamin is being pushed by ‘big supplement’, the other side of the coin trying to sell products to consumers and corralling vitriol for modern medicine.

              ‘Natural’ and Modern medicine can coexist, they both can work and you can also trust neither. As a recipient of the ‘poison injection’ you are talking about, I am feeling fine so far.
