In my case it's the opposite, I really like that I have no motivation to stay hours, but I like that I can quickly scan interesting topics at a glance and read something that may interest me and/or share something I think might be worth sharing.
Being a useful/interesting platform without a focus on life-absorbing engagement is a light, freeing feeling I value greatly from SN.
Maybe Uruguay now that you mention it. Rootstock labs and many argentinian crypto companies have their official hqs there due to their already disproportionately convenient legal context for the business, to it's likely they will keep that direction.
I don't live in BsAs so sadly I can't tell first hand. Please ask in this community of BsAs bitcoin enthusiasts: https://discord.gg/6CnndYAy
Not only they might know but might also want to meet you and give you as a gift one of their custom made LN cards. They are great guys :)
I'm slooowly developing a "trustless P2P" concept, do you know where I could pitch it up to see if anyone is interested?
There where many which inexplicably faded away even way before the advent of the internet. When I was little we had no tv cable nor internet yet there where only a couple of pastimes. First and above all, football, which I despised (yes, you heard that from an Argentinian) for being so extremely boring that I literally always ended being asleep right in the middle of the field to my friends distress. Then a universal classic which I loved which was hide-and-seek. As for an adult-annoying game as kancho, we had "ring-run", which I also loved much, consisting on mercilessly ringing houses much to the poor victims rage which made it even more thrilling.
I have to proudly say yess :D
My father manual skill was key, but it was impressive that the printer was capable of that. One of the parts was a very fine screw we where able to make precise and functional. It's ridiculous the power of the tools the common people haves at hand in modern day.
I have made for him supports to attach to his motorcycle various stuff: lights, gps, bagagge. We have a pretty modest printer yet precision is impressive. It's a local copy of a (by now) old Prusa standard model. Many of the parts of the 3D printer itself, loyal to Prusa's style, are 3D printed.
At a time we worked making high quality prototypes for other companies with that humble printer and we where quite successful. One of our finest achievements was to pull out a very delicate and precise surgery tool. We ourselves where impressed at what we could do with so little. Materials and tech available so easily for so little are mind-blowing.
I can not see the picture if you uploaded one, but yes, 3D printing has become what their original enthusiasts ever dreamed of: an everyday real-life working tool. I make stuff my father needs all the time.
I understand your point but words have meanings. What you describe is 100% for profit but through a vision, i.e., "I want to make money this way". Ok, no problem, if you want to do that, don't give power over your business to people that don't share the vision, i.e., stake-holders. Stake-holders are not bullies, if they exist is because you invited them and all of what they have and what they can do is what you gave and what you allowed. It's pretty obvious: want to control your company? keep control. As simple as that.
"Unconscious collaboration" is not contract signing, it's "unconscious collaboration": you don't consciously care about the carboard box industry when you feed amazon workers in your bar nor vice-versa, yet they all collaborate with each other business without even thinking about it.
What you describe is not an "efficient market", is just an over-saturated market, which is inefficient. An efficient market goes both ways: in average, it tends to be as convenient for the offerer as for the buyer.

100% agree. Here in Argentina anything self-labeled as "non-profit" axiomatically implies: extremely costly state-related funds black-hole. "Non-profit" is synonym of "parasitizing" in some form but with a nice name so that no-one asks and it's legal. There are hundreds of thousands parasitizing tax-payers from "non-profit foundations" no one knows.
