RICHARD BRANSON & BITCOIN

  An aggressive advert on Yahoo, has prompted me write this article, which refers to the magnate Richard Branson and his connection with the new trick/financial speculation, called "bitcoin". Within the last days of Jan, when I opened any of the Yahoo accounts, on the right-hand side, there were 2 pics of Branson, with his face covered by bloody wounds and bruises, and the spot: "Richard Branson is ready to quit." I was so curious that, instead of typing his name in Google search, as I usually do, when I want to find out information, I clicked on the spot. But, instead of finding out why he was hurt, the button shifts me to a laudatory or better said "toady" article titled: "560 Thousand British Quit Their Jobs After Richard Branson Invests Heavily in New Bitcoin Financial Tech." And the link is, or was:

  However, on 01/02, it said that, there were 116344 comments, of which only 5 and a few replies appeared at the end of the article. When I clicked the button: it loads another 10 comments, didn't work. When I clicked on the comments response buttons, they did not work. So I could not find any other comments besides the 5 and I could not answer, which makes me doubt the truth of the article. The fact is that if RB should not agreed, neither the yahoo advert, nor the "CNN Tech" signed: Seth Fiegerman @ sfiegerman, would not have appeared.

  A few months or weeks ago, a sponsored e-mail which enters every yahoo account, said that RB promises to teach people a method how to get rich overnight. I was not curious to find out what the email said, so I can not comment!

  But the "bitcoin" phenomenon exists and becomes dangerous, especially for a certain category of poor, at own and figurative sense, people.

  A similar one, called Caritas, appeared in Romania (possibly after Western examples) in the years immediately after the "revolution" and left some Romanians extremely poor. I remember that my parents invested a modest amount of money, that was lost, but it did not affect us, because none of my family members ever thought of enriching overnight or other "trickeries made by the guileful of the time." The small investment was made just because the phenomenon lasted for a while, and the wind blew us a little bit" or because of "the flock wit"!

  It is said of this kind of financial "investment" that it is of a pyramidal type, which means that at the base are the small depositors (gullible), and at the top are the ones who collect, the "tricksters"! Bitcoin urges the "first players" to participate with modest amounts to quickly earn huge amounts of money. But, as the money is made only by: 1) speculating (cheating others), or 2) luck (to be born as "heir" or that your "worked" or painlessly product finds buyers), I don't "see" how an investment in a promise without cover would bring enrichment!

  It is said that this, so-called electronic coin, will be used in the "far away future", in case it will not disappear, or volatilize, as it happened with other promises of enrichment without cover!

  But, since the man kind has been endowed with free will (including ignorance and stupidity), he often acts like "the flock." A Romanian word says: "stupid fellow, but lucky fellow"; many times there were stupid fellows who not only that they enriched, but they managed to keep their wealth because of the "needy", intelligent man who had served them, or because of the stupidity of the "flock", which surpassed his stupidity.

  The success of RB, the futurologist or the visionary of the century, as well as the other wealthy, is due both to the luck of being gifted with the talent of "driving the world with cork" but mostly as the "talent" of the crowd itself to be driven with "cork".

  Some would say that I am rancor, frustrated, envious that "I do not have and he has wealth!". Maybe so it is, but I think it is more about objectivity, because I did not know or I would not know personally on RB, because his life is evolving in parallel with mine, so, logically, they can not intersect. Therefore, I and Calin, living a parallel life with RB's, can not interfere with his futuristic "businesses".

  When we had the bad luck to interact with individuals named Richard, things did not work well for us! Like in the dog and doggy fable, I do not know, whom RB wants to enrich, but no way the doggy !.

PROTEST against the Conservative Party campaign for the general elections 7.05.2015

Who took our dignity and self-respect! I’d have comments on each paragraph from the electoral leaflet of the Conservative Party' candidate in the ---constituency; but in this open letter, I shall refer and consider only the paragraph entitled "Immigration". Some may consider that it “instigates to racism”, but I am more tolerant and open to arguments in order to refute this opinion. Paragraph, from Sir Edward Leigh electoral leaflet, inserted here: “IMMIGRATION: Our Regaining control over our borders is an absolute priority. Free movement of EU citizens doesn’t work when you have countries as diverse as Britain or Sweden on the one hand and Bulgaria and Romania on the other. We need to see a move to a more balanced, managed system of migration that restricts economic migrants while allowing talented people in.” My family consists of two members: me and my son. We live on the hill. My name is Marylena C.Goia; I am 61 years old, a Romanian national and permanent resi

DESPRE TIGANI (cine sunt si ce vor)-PRIMA PARTE

Voi avea cateva postari privindu-i pe tigani. Nu voi scrie aici ceea ce am citit prin diverse sau am auzit de la diverse persoane, ci despre experienta mea si eventual a lui Calin cu si legata de ei. Nu pot spune ca sunt un popor, pentru ca ei, de fapt sunt raspanditi in toata lumea si au luat nu numai infatisarea poporului in a carui tara s-au stabilit….sau…nu, dar si limba, cultul , obiceiuri si chiar nationalitatea. Cand eram copil, in Romania, parintii mei, mergeau la filme indiene, care intr-o anume perioada au fost foarte populare acolo (imi amintesc de “Vagabondul” cu Raj Kapoor). Pe vremea aceea, adica in epoca comunista erau multe cinematografe in Constanta. Oriunde se difuzau filme indiene erau cozi uriase la casele de bilete. Romanii nu prea aveau loc, din cauza tiganilor, care se inghesuiau cu familiile lor la intrare. Asta, pentru ca, spuneau ei ca indienii sunt fratii lor, etnia tiganeasca provenind din India si raspandindu-se in toata lumea. Pana s-a nascut Calin

TIBERIU si CORNEL

  Aceasta postare este continuare a articolului mai vechi: YOUTUBERII ROMANI, sau CREATORII (mai mult sau mai putin) DE CONTINUT (mai mult sau mai putin de calitate)   Obisnuiesc sa urmaresc, regulat, doar canalele care, chiar imi “spun” ceva. Din majoritatea canalelor, care au sau nu un subiect, vizionez un vlog, poate 2, din curiozitate si decid daca merita sau nu. Sunt unele pe care le-am urmarit un timp, dar din anumite motive, le sau le-am abandonat.   De curand, adica acum vreo trei luni, cautand nu-mi amintesc ce sau de ce, pt copii, am vazut in lista de recomandari din dreapta unui video, un titlu care spunea ceva de o casuta din padure. Din curiozitate am dat click pe video si am vizionat vlogul, apoi am dat click pe un altul. Am vrut sa vad continutul canalului si, de atunci nu m-am mai oprit, pt ca….. i-am descoperit pe cei mai simpatici si carismatici “baieti de baieti” de pe net. Din acel moment canalul TIBERIU si CORNEL  a devenit SUPER DOZA MEA DE RELAXARE !   Vloguril
