Well we need a miracle now cause the current administration has been utterly useless for the last 30 years
1. Thought the dog barking was a bit too much, but after about 5 minutes in I barely heard it and it was quite soothing as a background. 2. Kudos to Martin, normally if there's something out of the ordinary it would throw the presenter off but he went on as usual. 3. Thanks for the concise overview, appreciate it!
Over 600 CCTV cameras already in George? OMW! Talk about "Big Brother" watching. All in the name of "safety and security"...
Very well presented document hopefully will be thoughtfully used for betterment of ruling of SA👍🤔👍
Stay free #BTC
Awesome Awesome the world cannot live in Ignorance anymore, hope everyones eyes open up quickly what Cryptocurrencies is all about, come out from under the rocks & wake up before the world leaves u behind, Bitcoin went from 10c to R1,3 million in Ten years, Whilst your 10c in the Bank is now worthless
Scam
You are wrong we need a Reserve Bank if internet is gone your Bitcoin is forever gone😂😂😂😂 gold en silver is 5000 years old real money not popcorn Bitcoin
Good program but what did they do in winter ❄️ no swimming
Bitcoin is popcorn money
Lost n moerse klomp money on Bitcoin
Really? Why BTC? at the SLOW speed (1- 5 DAYS) and HIGH cost of transactions? I will never accept my salary in BTC I won't be able to afford it or afford to do day-to-day food transactions in it and that spaza shop has to wait for 1-5 days for the tx to go through🧐 WHY BTC? I would love to get my salary in xrp 😇. Doing cost-of-living txs in BTC is just not viable the tx costs more than food
But most exchanges need kyc, so what do they use?
would also love to know what wallets etc they use this is not an isolated one-man initiative
Interesting! Is there someone who could give me more info and how it all works? Keen to learn and ask lots more questions
Sorry but Quantum + AI Computers will able to hack bitcoin, I'm selling Bitcoin and buy gold.
At least with fiat you get to hold some worthless paper sometimes.
Nice work Herman! From Ballot’s Bay!
The most relevant statement to me was to de-centralize government. We are pretty stuck with the fiat money system at the moment and banks abuse this system daily to our cost as do the centralized governments. A fantastic effort to educate and inspire people to start thinking for themselves and planning for their own future.
This is electrifying. A lesson for every town in the subcontinent. Thank you both ❤❤
Xrp is real time and much cheaper to use and interoperable with digital and fiat why woukd use think bitcoin works for real time payments its an awesum store of value but for transactions this makes no sence
ETH
LOL at ETH rates?? LOL never! XRP and XLM are the real solution
@user-ob2er8do1t No one uses XRP and XLM. Ethereum (ETH) is very cheap on L2. Bitcoin's Lightning is not even a roll-up, its a sidechain. Ethereum is used way more than any other crypto.
Bright surfer dude
The original conception of bitcoin was to be outside of the banking system. Then the central banks bought into it and now regulate it. They are'nt going to give up their iron grip control of their fiat currency system. My belief is that bitcoin was created by the central banks in order to divert people away from buying gold, and into bitcoin instead. The central banks have been stocking up on gold for quite some time now, not to mention BRICS and others.
One of the townships in Mossel Bay with the best view of the sea.
I like the thinking and intention behind this initiative, though still foresee obstacles for an individual to be able to be able to make practical general month-to-month use of a BTC salary, in spite of having scattered access to BTC-friendly vendors, because these are still so few and far between for the average person. They are still going to need to convert some their BTC to fiat, at some point, in order to pay for certain monthly expenses, and the exchange volatility is one of the crunches, along with the conversion friction and tax implications.
Brilliant idea well done.
Actually he is a Capitalist Communist.😭😭😈😈💯💯💯
I don't trust him this RAMA P his a mmmmm
A billionaire is a committed socialist ? What a joke ! He will not share his wealth with anyone !
If Cyril gives away his money then all will benefit.
hosted at a yacht club - how appropriate.
Where would you suggest?
@@janineroux2398One of the presidents houses in Cape Town??,😭😭😈😈💯💯💯
Increase our staff, expanding our control room... and... and. To me it sounds like more government, just on a local level! As a Libertarian minded person I would like to see more outsourcing to private entities and less empire building.
As much as I agree with you, what are the chances!!!! 😢
One you left out is safety and security
Yes the most important one .
Trade schools ... they are not all accedemicaly incleined
Great points as usual, David. Unfortunately, the populist parties EFF and MK with the help of Cosatu and SACP will probably try and make the country ungovernable should these steps be implemented. The immediate future looks rocky.
It's a communist setup. Don't be fooled!!!!
This WHITE SUPREMACISTS interests thinking Iis unacceptable. Privatisation meaning surrender of entitles to the WHITE SUPREMACISTS. The Free MARKET FOUNDATION must be REJECTED because it's inherently UNDEMOCRATIC. Junk this WHITE SUPREMACISTS drive to exacerbated the already intolerable inequalities.
What a racist comment
ok
Interesting how these policies didn't win over the public. We can blame politicians all we want ultimately free market policies didn't win a single extra seat from the radical left
There is no such thing as a government of national unity in South Africa as it stands.
Ha ha socialist dogma trumps logic. You’ve a better chance of hell freezing over
Trumps logic ??
@@andredejager484Agree with you. We could do with someone like Trump. Three months and our 'leaders' would be in orange suits.
Ons sal graag wil hoor dat George n TWEETALIGE gemeenkap is. Dat die Taalregte vd Afrikaanse gemeenskap ook gerespekteer word in GELYKE REGTE met Engels... aggressiewe verEngelsing is niè die antwoord nie ...
Don't forget that education of a high standard is critical to the development of our nation and our people. Do not take the present low standard of education for granted - it is shocking!
The current education system (globally) is more about conformity than education. Some of the most stupid people I know are highly educated.
We have millions of people who went to school with no jobs. I don't think better education is a top priority. I think if education genuinely lead to opportunity of good employment the education problem would largely sort itself out.
@@AapVanDieKaap the anc kept the masses poorly educated for a reason. So they can keep them dumb, dependent and to keep voting for them
@@AapVanDieKaap Have you seen what is being taught? Too many people cannot read for content which means they do not understand what they are reading. The basic structure of the system can be compared to building a wall with no foundation.
Unfortunately politicians don’t have your knowledge and insight David. 😢
There should be signed agreements the ANC cannot be trusted. The election results and what is happening now is a good opportunity to let the people govern and not political parties.
❤❤❤🎉
The ANC has thorough rules that their members abide to. Their ideals are democratic and non-racist. I think the latest tends SA found themselves to kick against by mostly white people, the culprits should be sought at all political parties represented in the national Assembly. These trends might be another hoax as to convince everyone that apartheid was better. Why? Because many are tired of the racist oppression suffered(mostly at night time) by those who love the new constitution. This trend can dump many white racists into the ditches of the antichrist.
Imagine the outcry if this guy was Black after the collapse of that building...let alone if all workers were white !!!! Why is still in the hot seat ??? He must step aside till the investigation is complete !!!
How do you legally Devolve power??
Home rule. 😂 DIY. Paying ... Twice With EWC coming. We do not get it... at all.
