Do you think it is currently free to archive weather data?

welcome to 99.99% of crypto projects anon

cryptofags forget the basis for the blockchain is distributed/uncesonorable/anonymous movement of data, after that a weak argument can be made for BTC as a store of value but every other shitcoin (eth included) fails that test.

No crypto project NEEDS the blockchain and would be better off without it, imagine uber being ran on the blockchain that shit would be as slow and useless as current taxis are.

That's one thing I don't get with BSV. All these neat little things coming out for it like this weather app and twetch or whatever they all are called they all require you to spend your BSV to use them. Who the fuck is going to buy BSV just to turn around to spend it on using an app? I'd just as soon keep my fiat if I have to buy something to use it. Am I wrong about this because everything I have seen with BSV you have to spend BSV to use it.

Anything crypto right now is like the web 1.0 Pets.com era dogpile - just throw shit at the wall and see what sticks. Nobody needs to pay for weather data transactions, because most weather data in the US is paid for by government funding and is free - see the weatherunderground.

"Why the fuck would I pay?" is why crypto is failing. It failed in commerce. It failed in the investment space. Now it's failing in the data brokering space*. Like it was said early on, crypto is a solution looking for a problem.
Nobody NEEDS paid weather information, the devs need you to buy their coin so they can feed at the investment money trough like everyone else.

*Not discounting the lunacy that using this for weather data in the US is a taxable event.

That's pretty much the response to this dumb project anyway. They have 4000 channels? WOOO, they made 20k! They win!

The tech they base their scam on, openweathermap, gets 2000 new feeds a day, and have over a million and a half users. But there's no scam coin attached to it, so they're worthless, I guess. Oh, and they have paid feeds and archiving, too, but because it's not on a blockchain, somehow that data isn't just as good?

LOL.

I remember this exact kind of nonsense back in the Pets.com day. "You have no business model". "YOU JUST DON'T GET THE NEW PARADIGM, BUSINESS 2.0, WE'RE ALL GONNA BE RICH!"

You guys are missing the point of BitCoin. It's to attach a seamless economic incentive. Face it, everything we do or interact with requires an economic decision. "Want to go to the movies? How much is that? Popcorn was expensive. No I rather work and make money." You need a payment system to integrate truth / reliability. BitCoin allows you to price things that were arbitrary or non fungible before. That's why it differs than a crypto. It's more of a data brokerage system on the most honest imaginable ledger system yet. Everyone that isnt a criminal should be in favor of such a system. It's ironic how it attracted many scams. While BitCoin is p2p cash, seems more of a byproduct of an elaborate digital revolution.
