RE: DELAYED - Fork in the road to Constantinople, Capital city of Ethereum, where PoS now rules
Dear @julianhorack
It is hard to find like minded people here at my home town, so steemit has helped us meet and share ideas about our favourite subjects.
I know what do you mean buddy. I've exactly similar experience.
Thanks for replying. I always appreciate people who engage back.
Yours
Piotr
happy to engage comrade. Is it still ok to call each other comrade? In my country of South Africa it is the most common term used among the politicians of the ruling party when they address each other. I think it is a carry over form the days when the current ruling party was still an underground freedom-fighting movement during the previous oppressive Apartheid regime, and they went to get training in the old Soviet Union to fight back. And they won of course. Your name sounds Russian and it reminded me. I hope it's ok. Curious to know. I feel that as a member of the Brics bloc of countries we have an allegiance.
Dear @julianhorack
No problem at all my friend :)
I've learned lately about difficult situation of farmers in south africa. I'm so sorry for what is happening to your minority over there.
ps. Im Polish :)
Yours
Piotr
Ah my bad, shows you how much i know about Europe and the North, you're actually Polish. My ancestors were Czech or maybe even Polish on father's side, but that was several generations ago apparently.
Yes the South Africans of European ancestry are receiving a degree of reverse racism now in the new South Africa. The currency is ZAR14/1$ and crime plus corruption is huge. The open space, natural surroundings and climate are beautiful though.
Dear @julianhorack
Thanks for your kind reply. I appreciate it a lot.
I've seen those guys in red t-shirts and I watched the interview with their leader. Insane :/
I hope your country will not follow Zimbabwe (exodus of "white" population and hyperinflation). But it seem that this is the road your country is heading :(
Yours
Piotr
The red t-shirts are called the Economic Freedom Fighters. How's that for a political party name? The leader was once in the ruling party but broke away when the president turned out to be so corrupt. He founded his own party just three years ago or so and has been gradually getting votes, while stirring up a radical left wing agenda. There is very little sign of a positive outcome; more like a slow decline over the coming years.
Thank you for sharing with me @julianhorack
Do you mind telling me also what is approach to crypto in south africa?
Yours
Piotr
Crypto is accepted in South Africa. There are three different exchanges that accept local fiat currency to buy crypto. And one of the top banks here is researching blockchain technology. They simply require capital gains tax on your earnings. So it seems favourable.
Thank you @julianhorack for being so responsive.
Appreciate it a lot. Yours, Piotr
