PDF Editor FAQ

As a management consultant, what recommendations would you give to the Empire (in Star Wars IV, V and VI)?

First up, let's talk Death Star. Bad investment. Like, really bad investment because:It costs a huge amount of money to constructMaintenance is hideously expensiveAccording to its strongest supporters (specifically Grand Moff Tarkin), you can't get good value out of using it to destroy valueless planets, you have to destroy populated onesSo really, this is a bad project, because not only does it tie up your resources but good, but its intended use requires the destruction of other valuable resources - Alderaan isn't going to pay taxes if you blow it up. If we assume inflation's at, say, 3%, and we assume that the nominal tax base of Alderaan stays constant, we're looking at losing, in real terms, 34.3 times the Alderaanian tax base here. That's about as low a bound as we can get, too, it's probably going to be way higher. That's guaranteed here, people. The destruction of the Rebel Alliance by the Death Star? Not guaranteed. You've tried a bunch of strategies in the past thirty or so years, none have worked, so probably not a great idea to just assume 100% chances of success on this plan, because the Rebel Alliance is apparently super resilient. 70% is a much better approximant.Where did I get that number? It's FMA. Keep up.So instead of this Death Star plan, let's talk rebranding. On the plus side, the Republic was crappy. Paralyzed executive branch and a gigantic civil war? Everyone hated that stuff. Great news, we now have a strong executive branch and, yeah, fine, there's still a rebellion, but it's nothing like that Separatist problem the Republic had. We can definitely appeal to the law-and-order types on that alone, they'll eat it up and you're good with them.Our key problem is that you've got this whole image of being a Jedi-slaughtering bunch of homicidal maniacs, and even though you've trotted out half a dozen ad initiatives to try and shift the conversation to Jedi treachery, none of them have taken. Not really surprising here, because the Jedi looked kind of like superheroes, and nobody looks good killing Spider-Man. People like Jedi, that's not changing.So what I'm proposing here is a two-pronged pivot in strategy. First up, we institute a Jedi amnesty program. Any Jedi who wants to come in from the cold, bam, we automatically pardon them for any crimes committed. Yeah, I know, looks bad to the law-and-order types, but since you've killed off the Jedi anyway, it's not as though anyone is going to take you up on this offer and you can definitely dog whistle that to your supporters all you'd like. It's those pro-Jedi citizens who you're appealing to with this - you'll look reasonable and Jedi-friendly and you won't have to pay a single credit to do it.Second part of this: you need to start up a new Jedi program. Yes, I know you're Sith, not Jedi, but is that a distinction anyone really cares about? To our hypothetical average citizen, let's call them Owen and Beru from Tatooine, it's pretty much the same thing. Open up the application process to whoever wants it, and suddenly you've got a list of the pro-Jedi citizens in the Empire. Of course, you then want to actually train a couple per planet - dark side all the way, reshuffle them among the planets every few months, and everyone's got the Jedi they want plus no worries about the potential upset to the current political order.Now, you're going to need a media strategy for this, because botch the rollout and you'll just piss everyone off, so let's talk about- oh, hang on, sorry, apparently that's outside the scope of this contract.Also, we need to talk about your benefits package: if you want to save costs there, on-site injuries can't be covered by worker's comp, or you've got to stop having the top brass kill subordinates. That first one's just going to mean that all the good potential employees are going to work for whatever Corellian startup they can find instead of you, so you've got to stop using murder as the go-to disciplinary action. This is why you have an HR department: you need to have a paper trail so that, when an employee has a history of screwing up, you can get rid of them permanently without having to pay out a thing.Lastly, I'm just not loving the optics of your COO always dressing in black. We're going for a more friendly image here, and the black mask and whatnot just isn't fitting with that. I'm thinking we go with some pastels, and maybe he goes back to using his original name, because when I hear "Darth Vader," I'm thinking evil guy, but when I hear "Anakin Skywalker," I'm thinking maybe that's a guy I could hang out with at a bar. Hang on, he's a widower? We're going to milk that angle for all the sympathy it's worth - people are going to love this guy.

Do miracles prove there is a God?

What is naturalism? It is the belief that only natural thing exist, as opposed that supernatural things. The supernatural things (miracles are such) are defined something that science cannot explain.But it doesn’t mean there can’t be a scientific explanation for such phenomena.Think back in the history when humans were cavemen and their scientists have found that when nature naturally creates fire, these cavemen have labeled it as the “supernatural”. That is because their science/knowledge couldn’t understand this phenomena. But now it understands it.It is possible that there is a law that can work with another law in order to do or change something. Take the law of gravity. That means all creatures without wings cannot fly. But we have built airplanes and helicopters that can fly, so how? It is because we have found and utilized the law of aerodynamics. So you see, another law has worked with this law to do this.Now think, in this modern, more rational age, the miracles of the scriptures, of religions, as well as modern day supernatural phenomena. In my opinion, these can be explained as a higher law (the spiritual law) working to overcome the limitations of the lower law (the material law).See this:When you do attain the Christ consciousness, you are not bound by the lower, mortal, human or material laws. Instead, you can now act based on a higher, spiritual or divine law, and this will allow you to perform actions that are considered impossible from the human level.[1]And this:It is true that nothing violates the law of God, but there are two levels to the laws of God. There is the material law, which is what scientists call the natural law. And then there is the spiritual law, which is a higher law that can indeed supersede and suspend the natural law. Thereby, one can bring forth what, according to natural law, seems like a miracle.[2]Some people here say there is no evidence for miracles/the supernatural. That isn’t true! Here are some real miracles that have happened to people:Someone drives in the middle of nowhere and bam their car stops working. Then, out of nowhere, a stranger appears and has everything needed to fix the car. He fixes the car and then goes away, disappearing as if he wasn’t there. This is a miracle of an angel in disguise as a human stranger.Someone is sick with a serious disease/disorder. So they ask a priest to come to their house and see the sick person. The priest asks everyone to just pray. Everyone there prays and while that happens, the person’s sickness completely goes away. It’s a miracle of healing!So there are times you have questions. You need an answer to these serious questions. You ask the question out loud or in your mind. Then within the next few days you get an answer from an unlikely sources. Somehow, seemingly randomly, you see the answer on random places such as a newspaper article, a billboard, someone mentions it or somewhere else, quite accidentally.Here is my own miracle of healing. I explain it in detail over here: How I know God exists and how you might learn to know too by Yevgeniy (Eugene) Kizhner on Posts . I have schizophrenia. I have symptoms of depression, anxiety and schizophrenia. I have been going to doctors for over a decade of my life and the meds have done me more harm than good. I am given this website enhance your personal growth and discover your true Self and told to use the spiritual tools on there. I begun using it and my symptoms begin to improve. My anxiety, depression and schizophrenia improve. People have noticed that I am less depressed, that I am more happy, that my behavior is much better (in these terms), even my mental health professionals (a psychiatrist and a psychotherapist) have noticed that my psychiatric symptoms have improved significantly. One of the tools that I use there is the Violet Flame. It truly is a flame that lets miracles happen to you. How can you scientifically (or otherwise materialistically) explain this? Here are the reasons why it were these tools that have allowed these miracles/quantum leaps to happen to me: I’ve used only these tools while these improvements have happened, the tools worked just like the Teachings promised they would, other people experience similar or the same benefits and I even feel differently (like uplifted- because I am depressed) while I use these tools (sometimes), so how can it not be true?There are plenty of miracles of the violet flame. Here is another one, from an experienced Violet Flame user:There is no limit to the wonder of the Violet Flame. My present class is very devoted simply because they get results through constant application. One lady was in a wheel chair with terminal MS and headed for a permanent institution. She had been subjected to 19 electroshock treatments for psychiatric disorders and heavily medicated. She decrees for 3 or more hours per day and her life is changed beyond all expectations. She is able to work 2 days a week. Walks in the park every day for an hour. She is regaining her life. She is off all medications.Miracles happen because of a Divine Agency, which is God. Yes miracles prove God exists.Edit: I didn’t realize that this answer of mine was #1 on this question here. And this is especially since there are 55 answers on here. Nice! I have wanted to add that after practicing the spiritual tools of the ascended masters, I have received many more of the “miracles” of healing. Here are just some of them (this list is very incomplete):No more overeating and I am losing weight (I am obese and seems I will be fine with normal weight eventually and never regain the weight). This is a cure of obesity!!I had overcome a certain obsession. Yes these tools heal you of things like addictions, compulsions, obsessions (including overeating) and so on…My schizophrenia has improved once againI am better mentally where I am much more creative and I solve problems better. This really helps me solving programming problems and design problems (I am a game developer and I do both game programming and game design).I seem to be cured of some form of PTSD (I think I have had CPTSD) or something similar to PTSD.And honestly, if you have read all this and you still disbelieve, then you will never believe. I know that the (the current #2 answer) Christian Winter has blocked me for mentioning things like these tools, past lives and free will. So I also can’t comment on his answer. People like that will never believe. I know that when Jesus has performed all those miracles, people still didn’t believe in him. Even a lot of the sick people Jesus has healed have went on living completely materialistic lives. Now what does that say? It says that people will never believe certain things. Most atheists I’ve met online are as such.Footnotes[1] Jesus died to show victory over death[2] The Mystical Teachings of Jesus

If the US goes into a recession, how will cryptocurrencies perform (go up in value, decrease in value)?

Fun fact: A glass bottle of Coca-Cola cost just five cents in 1960. That means if you bought only $500 worth of Coke-Cola in 1960 (somehow preserved them until now), you could sell them now for $20,000 (Coke's go for $2 of the same size today.)Putt-Putt Golf used to cost around 1-2 bucks to play in the 1980s. Putt-Putt golf last year ago cost around $15 per person. In just forty years, the price to play golf has risen 15x - the price to play didn't actually get more expensive, the fiat held just became less valuable.Minimum wage (hourly pay for the value provided) has gone from .50 cents to around $10 (depending on where one lives) from the 1960s until now. Do workers offer 20x the value in one hour sixty years ago compared to today? No. Arguably workers provide 20x less value then they did compare to today with the help of computers & machinery.So what does all this prove? - Value doesn't hyperinflate, fiat does.To explain why some cryptocurrencies can drastically go up in value (very few compared to what's out there) we need to understand Web 3.0, stake based investing and the future of utility tokens and how value rises in fiat worth overtime. From there, we need to know where cryptos fit going into the future vs. the legacy system. I could give you a simple, YES! Or I can really breakdown not just a yes or no answer, but add the why so you can draw your own conclusion.This is a long read, but trust me, this knowledge could change your life, make sure to read until the end. (My Content Is Not Financial Advice, Crypto is a highly risky asset)Cryptocurrency is the new "value." We are moving to an online world whether we like it or not.With all this in mind, when it comes to crypto, keep in mind more than 99% of cryptocurrencies will burn & die!However, blockchain technology is very real and is here to stay. Blockchain is simply distributed ledger technology and helps make any online business more secure.Some are starting to wake up to the fact blockchain is not going anywhere, now the question becomes, which blockchains are best suited for Web 3.0?Web 3.0 will be all about giving users control over their data. The only tool that gives people the ability to own their data is blockchain. The world is turning more and more digital. In this case, real-life can be looked at as "the horse and buggy," and online is the new "car/spaceship." The reason we need control over our money and data is that governments are becoming more powerful and oppressive. Governments play their games, and when their fiat currency goes to shit, it's the citizens that pay the bill. We're tired of it, and we won't take it anymore!Governments that have a monopoly of the money supply, throughout history, without exception, have all failed dramatically. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.Let's not forget why bitcoin why invented in the first place: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on the brink of second bailout for banks." This title was quoted and embedded into the very first transaction ever to be included in the new Bitcoin blockchain (Genesis Block), by Satoshi Nakamoto.Fast forward almost ten years:Venezuela resorted to desperate measures to arrest an economic collapse last year, lopping five zeros off the bolivar, devaluing it by ninety-five percent and tying it to an obscure state-run cryptocurrency.The cost of a loaf of bread in Zimbabwe in 2018:And you think because you live in places like the USA that you will be immune to fiat hyperinflation by central banks? Well, you're wrong, it is just slower bleeding out."If you put a frog in hot water, the frog will jump out. If you put a frog in room temperature water and slowly heat it up, the frog will sit in the water until it's boiled alive. "Countries are moving away from hyper inflation fiat currency. People in Kenya, for the most part, no longer use the government-issued fiat. Instead, their primary currency used today is called the "M-Pesa" (prepaid cell phone minutes). Eighty percent of all transactions in the country is done via mobile phone.As we can see, M-Pesa could have run an ICO! ;) - All jokes aside: Money = Value; we lost that train of thought in the first world countries. In Kenya, the government currency, which has little value, is treated as such.Value comes in all forms, whether it be cell phone minutes, data, convenience, soda, or an hours labor. Coke-Cola certainly isn't needed to survive; it actually is a determinant of one's health. Coke's value derives from people who like the taste. People like using a phone instead of writing a letter, people pay for that convenience.Only things needed in this world are food, water, and a warm place when it is cold; the rest is a luxury illusionary utility benefit, which we place a specific value. Just like with Crypto Kitties selling for thousands of dollars, the value is in the eye of the behodler.Moreover, the way we protect and transfer value across the planet is rapidly evolving. Africa jumped straight from wired telecommunications into wireless. Now the whole country is run on wireless. Predicted a long time ago, "E-Cash" is now here. Next will be "E-Value" - that which has value and is secure, fungible, and stored on the blockchain.Comparing the dot com era to now, the main difference is infrastructure will not need to be built; the existing base will be shared. We will share everything from computing power, space to bandwidth. Anything and everything we could ever need to make unique and secure value are at our fingertips; in the form of digital tokens.Just like people in Africa did not experience DSL and landlines by leapfrogging straight into wireless, the rest of the world will leapfrog straight to the blockchain. The adoption of blockchain technology will happen much quicker than people currently anticipate.Software evolves much faster than hardware; blockchain will rapidly reach every corner of the globe. Having a mobile phone equates to having a bank account in one's pocket. Whalecum to 2019! By 2022 your 13-year-old will be making crypto loans via smart contracts to your uncle.Putt-Putt requires people to first buy tokens before playing the games. No one has ever once said: "No! I do not want to buy these tokens! What are they backed by? This is a Ponzi!"Fast-forward into the digital age where things like "Gold" in WoW, which sold outside in an OTC market for fiat. Stuff like "Vbucks" in Fornite are in high demand. Players do not refuse to buy Vbucks while demanding the skins to be priced in fiat only.Vbucks have value because Fornite is fun, which makes Vbucks desirable for players to buy in-game skins. Quality digital currency is backed by value. Now put Vbucks & the Fornite digital skins on the blockchain, cap the coins, BAM! A top-five token is born.Bitcoin has been viewed as digital gold, a store of value. I don't see Bitcoin as digital gold, I see it as an exit door from the legacy banking system. We can look at bitcoin as an immutable, censorship-resistant internet highway that people will hop on and off of when they need permissionless value to travel.The value in bitcoin is its censorship resistance and decentralized nature. However, Bitcoin is the first web 3.0 money the world has ever seen. From bitcoin sparked a Pandora's box of creations leveraging distributed ledger technology.Bitcoin is a very limited protocol, it can only handle a handful of transactions per second; the lightning network is a side chain and possibly scaling solution for bitcoin. However, there is a variety of cryptos going after the Web 3.0, and unlike bitcoin, you can build decentralized applications like a decentralized Facebook on the blockchain.Apps like Facebook cant possibly be built on bitcoin; Bitcoin is not fast enough to handle that many transactions. However, Blockchains like Steem have emerged, and from them so have Web 3.0 web applications like http://Steemit.comValue has been tokenized in many different ways!"But, why is a token needed?" - Using NLC2 (No Limit Coin), an old favorite fantasy sports and poker crypto of mine as an example. The thing about not creating your own crypto and say do what Fan Duel (NLC2 fiat competitor) did by making Dash their official cryptocurrency is the fact that now they rely on Dash. No one knows if Dash will be around in five years.Look at Verge & Pornhub, Pornhub got f*cked because of a Verge hack (no pun intended). Also, for most platforms, one currency is needed. For example, fantasy sports can accept all different forms of payment, but the actual games need to be priced in one currency. It is not efficient to have Ethereum only leagues and Litecoin only leagues, etc. To have the most significant best tournaments, pooling everyone's value into one form of buyin is the best option.Furthermore, using things like Bitcoin was not an option for NLC because of the unpredictable fees. Let's not forget the stigma that surrounds popular cryptocurrencies... Use Bitcoin, and you murder babies! Use Bitcoin Cash, and you are a sworn enemy of Bitcoin! Use Litecoin but same boat as Dash.It is very advantageous for a project to merely tokenize its value and molding it into what is most beneficial for the project. “Vbucks” (the digital currency in Fortnite used to purchase in game items) becomes worthless the moment no one plays Fornite anymore; not because some protocol gets hacked or some stigma attached to a coin that is outside of Fortnites control.To utilize the maximum potential of smart contracts, you need to build your token that is tuned for your project's needs. The reason is it is desirable to have a dedicated utility token; control over the branding and specific use case are powerful.For example, something like Steem could not be built on any other blockchain. Steem invented Resource Credits (RCs) - which allocate resources to token hodlers that are generated over time based on the amount of Steem Power (SP) you hodl. Meaning the more SP you have, the more actions you can perform on the blockchain. SP can be delegated, or “loaned” to anyone, without risk, because the SP can be taken back at anytime by the person delegating the SP.What delegating SP means is I could buy SP, delegate my RCs to new users, and use the SP to upvote the users. I do not need to worry about making my own token as it takes a few clicks with Steem-Engine. I do not need to find a community because Steem has several already. As an example, the Tribe "SteemLeo," an investing community, was created recently on Steem and had instant traction. Other Tribes like Sports Talk Social and STEMgeeks are emerging with great success.Steem is censorship-resistant digital real estate that gives you regenerative resources 🌱 (use it or lose it) in an age where centralized social media is doing the greatest content creator purge, we have ever seen. Any public business that hodls users data must use industries best practices. Steem is what you buidl projects like NLC and front ends like Steemit on.Robust, immutable, censorship-resistant public blockchains are the industries best standard when it comes to data protection (Bitcoin, Steem have never been hacked on the blockchain level). There are only a few public blockchains built for web 3.0, and among those, there is a tiny fraction that you can buidl web 3.0 apps today.Steem is on the top of my list when it comes to undervalued projects with a great use case, now, not tomorrow, now.Skate to where the puck is heading, and that puck is heading straight for immutable public blockchains.So, let's say it costs $10 in Steem to use the Steem blockchain to post your content. Now, the Steem token supply is limited (with small inflation that deflates % wise each year), but the potential customer base is not. As the number of users grows in the ecosystem, the demand for Steem increases, once supply fails to meet the demand, the price will go upwards.Just like with real estate, the land becomes more valuable to build on because the land is scarce. Just like with the "Putt-Putt" example, the value does not hyperinflate; fiat does. Therefore, Steem resources retain their value intrinsically, so hyperinflated fiat will keep falling in value to valuable, scarce assets that are in demand.In the new world of decentralized value, the ability to "print value" in the beginning becomes very useful. With the right approach, one can actually use the creation of value to a powerful advantage without causing chaos to the token economy itself. When Venezuela inflates its currency, it devalues it when Steem inflates the circulating supply it brings more value to the ecosystem via mass adoption."Why not use fiat?" - First off, the spirit of decentralization is vital. Also, using government-issued currencies means relying on centralized third-party payment processors, which is both costly and no censorship resistant. Crossing borders is also a massive headache and depending on the fiat currency used, exposed to the risk of inflation and other government malarkey."How does a Utility Token increase in value?" - Just like in the examples with the can of Coke-Cola and Putt-Putt Golf, the value stays fixed while the currency fluctuates around the token, not the other way around.The vision is in the future people won't know they are even using a token. Like Mike, Novogratz said with "DUber" (decentralized Uber): "Customers will look down on their phone, and it will say two prices, one will say: save 20% now - they will click that it will automatically convert their fiat to DUber Tokens." It will be frictionless, and people will not even realize they are using crypto at all. Then drivers would be incentivized to hodl DUber tokens, become speculators in the business they work in. Even customers who are investor savvy will start hodling DUber Tokens in speculation the ecosystem will grow.With a custom Utility Token explicitly designed for a project, having custom control over the number of tokens in existence, inflation, built-in smart contracts, and governance structure in the future. For example, Bitcoin is scarce because only 21 million can ever be created, thus when demand is high, the price increases. If there were 21 trillion bitcoins, the price would not increase as much because the supply is so overwhelming.Another situation of customizing a tokens economy we will look at Steem as an example: SteemPower needs to be locked up for a period is an excellent example of a decreasing supply vs. demand perk. With great minds comes great token economies which are vital for the longevity of the project. Let's not forget, a powerful driving force behind Bitcoins movement is the fact it is a deflationary currency and store of value, store of values needs to go up in price or remain at least stable in the long run for this experiment to be considered successful."What about the token velocity issue?" - To Quota Vitalk Buterin (https://bit.ly/2gXcYhh): > "The market cap of an appcoin depends crucially on the holding time H [which is inversely related to velocity]. If someone creates a very efficient exchange, which allows users to purchase an appcoin in real-time and then immediately uses it in the application, then allowing sellers to cash out immediately, then the market cap would drop precipitously… Protocol tokens using this model may well be sustained for some time due to irrationality and temporary equilibria where the implicit cost of holding them is zero, but it is the kind of model which always has an unavoidable risk of collapsing at any time."To avoid the velocity problem, tokens must have a way of being locked up. People need to purchase Utility Tokens because the utility is valuable to them. A token simply can't be like flowing water. If the token is treated like a hot potato, and no one really wants it, then the velocity problem will win out in the end. But in the case of a token like Steem, where the token is actually used similar to virtual real estate and is locked up so that businesses can and built on top of the Steem blockchain. This is a great way to stop velocity in its tracks.I really like how Steem handles velocity, where people power up their Steem and lock it away. With natural dynamics and artificially created incentives, projects can find ways to reduce velocity significantly.Other Utility Token Benefits:Tokenizing the value around a company or platform and decentralizing the control has other tremendous benefits as well. Let's use Steem again as an example. Look at the beauty of tokenization on Steemit. We all come together as a community; some of us do not even blog or produce content but still find a way of helping. Death by a thousand cuts is how Steemit will bring down the social media conglomerates. The community on Steem is like one big team, and we act like motivated Amway Salespeople outside of the Steem blockchain. Compared to the legacy system and traditional centralized business models, decentralized blockchains like Steem offer many benefits.The future we are more stake based investing, having ownership of a company through stake without the need for legally binding contracts.On Steem, I own a stake in the entire platform. We have a saying on Steem; "we're all going to the same moon!" This is the power of stake based ownership, it drives incentives on a conveyor belt to success.The traditional centralized business models comprise people into one of four main categories:1. Owners/CEO's.What Owners Want: Most profit possible.How to Achieve: Pay employees the least amount possible and find the cheapest way to produce the service.Results: Unmotivated underpaid employees plus a low-quality service.2. Employees.What Employees Want: To maximize pay & minimize effort.Results: This lowers the owner's profit by overpaying workers who are under-delivering, which in turn reduces employee pay and results in low-quality work. Lousy work leads to less profit for the owner, and the circle of hell continues.3. Customers.What Customers Want: The biggest bang for their buck; the best quality at the lowest price.Results: A race to the bottom. Wanting to pay the least for the best quality puts a strain on owners, which puts a strain on employees that results in a low-quality service.4. Sharehodlers.What Sharehodlers Want: Maximize profit, even at the expense of the owner.Results: Downward pressure on the entire company.All four of these people conflict with each other. The centralized owner who takes all of the profits and gives some crumbs to the workers is the central strain on this model. CEO's are paid 300-1 compared to their employees (on avg.). An employee can work their whole life, provide more value for the company then the CEO does; then the CEO can decide to sell the company and get 99% of the profit from the sale just to leave the employees jobless with a small severance package. All of this naturally places disdain for the CEO.The solution is to take these four people and combine them into one person. There is a name for this called the "DAO" (Decentralized Autonomous Organization).With The DAO, everyone is the owner, customer, employee, & sharehodler all at the same time; motivational incentives are in perfect alignment.As a stake (token) hodler, one would use the token as a customer. Once using the product, the person would act as an employee & owner at the same time; this provides a better service which increases the value of the organization as a whole which serves the sharehodler side. - All a conveyor belt to success.Example: Think of it as a restaurant. People order food; they leave trash behind, wasteful with the resources (leaving the water running in the bathroom) not their water bill, so they do not care. The waiter/waitress are just friendly enough to get a tip and clean up just enough to not get yelled at by the boss. The boss is pissed at the lack of hustle from the employees and wants to pay them less, which unmotivated the workers. Because the hustle is off the money is not coming in, so the owners skimp on the quality of the food. Lower quality food means fewer customers, which means less profit, which means angry sharehodlers. All of this leads to a spiral of death (Wonder why 90% of new businesses fail using this model.).We could see the potential if the employee was also the owner, customer, and sharehodler all in one because as a customer, one would want tasty food. The place would be spotless because, again, as a customer eating there that would be naturally optimal. The employee/owner side would also pick up other people trash because now the person has the incentive to want other people also to like the place. The owner side would want to get more profits, so would look to further expand the value of the business in any way possible. The All-In-One: Costumer, Owner, Employee & Sharehodler; this leads to the spiral of wealth… AKA STAKE BASED INVESTING IN A DAO like STEEM!Combining the DAO with a well thought out token economy will create the next Amazon's & YouTube's of the world, only decentralized versions. When comparing a DAO with the legacy system; the primary rights of a sharehodler in the legacy system:Voting Power on Major Issues.Ownership in a Portion of The Company.The Right to Transfer Ownership.An Entitlement to Dividends.Opportunity to Inspect Corporate Books & Records.The Right to Sue For Wrongful Acts.Now, if we take a look at each one from above, let's see how it compares to Steem:Voting Power on Major Issues. - Steem Hodlers can vote on witnesses, which run the network.Ownership in a Portion of The Company. - Steem is ownership over the influence of the community. Unlike a stock, Steem has a real use-case regarding social media exposure.The Right to Transfer Ownership. - Steem/SBD can be transferred without permission to anyone, anywhere, anytime instantly & for free.An Entitlement to Dividends. - Steemians are entitled to allocate the flow of inflation of Steem each year. The more SteemPower one has, the higher percentage of influence that person has on the platform.Opportunity to Inspect Corporate Books and Records. - Open source blockchains can be checked 24/7 without the approval of anyone.The Right to Sue for Wrongful Acts. - The community can act and downvote harmful content. If Ned were to walk away, just like Dan did, the Steem blockchain would still live. However, with Steem I have a ownership right to space on the system, no one can take that away from me, just like if one owns bitcoin, you own space on the BTC blockchain and no one can take that from you. There is no reason to “sue” because no one can take your rights away unless they steal your private keys.Securities & certain utility tokens have a lot in common.Securities are controlled by a centralized organization that is reinforced by a government.Utility Tokens apart of a DAO are controlled by a Decentralized Organization that is reinforced by the community.To wrap this all up. Will Crypto Utility Tokens Survive?Yes.-Why?Borderless Fundraising.Borderless Instant Transfers.Instantly Liquidity.VC's (Vulture Capitalist) Funding Not Needed.Offer as Much Control or More Than Securities.Anyone Can Participate.Security & Censorship Resistance.Token Economics.Open Source. (Think Internet vs. Intranet)Utility tokens are the future of raising capital as “ICOs” become more sophisticated. I simply called them Stake based offerings. The DAO's are the future of how companies will run.Keep in mind, the cryptos that are already here, have the best chances of success. As we can see, regulation kills innovation; Facebooks “Libra” may be killed before it’s even born. To create a “bitcoin” or “Steem” in this day and age is almost impossible with the current strict laws. Some cryptos slipped through the cracks and are grandfathered in so to speak.Fiat simply can’t compete against the people’s money, cryptocurrency!As governments continue to hit the printing press and to weaponize the swift system, suppressed humans will continue to OPT-OUT of FIAT and OPT-IN to decentralized, censorship-resistant cryptos as a means of value transfer. Blockchain has let the cat out of the bag, and the days of controlling countries using the weaponized banking cartels are coming to an end.Cryptos will continue to be used as a flight to capital when all other avenues have been blocked.

I loved how easy it was to create a form! The pre-designed form elements, ease of copying/pasting and rearranging were so helpful when we designed a survey.
