NETcoin has added Steem dollars, to their offering; for use on their system.

Steem won their recent contest to become part of their payment system. This makes steem more valuable since it can be used as currency to buy things directly at 21,000 retail locations currently. This is a big step forward!
:)
howdy sir smithlabs! have you tried to locate any of their ATMs?

No I haven't got enough to withdraw anyway, ROFLOL! So no, I haven't, but I have been thinking about it. If I put some more into steem, it might be worth doing.
If the dollar crashes, steem would soar, it could be another way to buy needed things.
You are still here, I thought WeKu got you! :)

lol. well I was thinking of buying some steem from their ATMs but the only ones I could find on their website were in Canada.
I've never been to Weku.

Rats, I thought we were rid of you, ROFLOL! :)
I thought they were at retailers. You could probably go there, and buy the steem they took to pay for items bought.

oh I don't know how any of it works, I just figured they'd have more machines than retailers so there might be one closer but who knows?

They have been concentrating on retailers first. But the ATMs make nothing for them, and they are complex and expensive.
I would tie into existing ATM networks, that should be easy enough!

sir smithlabs! well are there any retailers in Oklahoma? probably not, that's probably the last place on the planet they'll want to be.

Well Oklahoma is one of the 42 listed on their site. But I'm pretty sure that Texas was included with Mexico and California on their site....

Everything seems to be moving in this direction. I guess the new counterfeiters will be computer hackers.
I wonder if the crypto will survive a crash? If the internet remains functional, it might.

You raise an interesting point about cryptos' internet dependency. Ab EMP, I guess could take down the banking system, but we should still trade with FRNs and gold and silver. IF the EMP takes down a crypto-dependent world, then we're all back on the gold standard, i guess.

Well, an EMP is a localized problem, as it does have a limited range. It can NOT destroy the entire internet, but it can take out pieces. So the whole system will survive, but function will be reduced. So some crypto will survive, but you should have some metals stashed back too!
It is a good mental exercise to think about the limits of damage that could occur, and to plan about how to function in spite of it.
Packet Radio can replace the local internet, and tie into the regular internet through a ham radio at the other end. I hope to be the other end of the radio, but I am set up either way.
So buy food, and metal, they will both be handy later!

I was thinking about an EMP umbrella of MANY.
Don't know anything about packet radio. I do know a little about SW...similar?

One will take down our power grid, and many are hard to coordinate, so multiple are not likely. ONE will be enough with no power....
Packet radio was the prototype for the internet, run on ham radio. Some on SW, some on UHF. The information signals on the internet are still called packets.
I have a full packet radio setup, stored against EMP. I will have off grid power, so I should be able to hold communications

Should be fun, ROFLOL! I just hope we never need to use this setup, and nothing crashes! But If it does, I will be ready to make things work!
