Isn't technology suppose to solve this ?
The Malaysian govt spends close to RM20 billion A YEAR ( 5 Bilion USD ) on our Ministry of Education. Yet at the start of the year, we as parents are asked to fill up a ridiculous amount of forms manually !
I thought that implementation of technologies was suppose to prioritise the seamless movement of data between schools regardless where you are and where you are from.
Even with the billions spent over the past decade with close to RM 200 billion ... I'm still stuck filling up these damn forms.
... end of rantings... now to happier thoughts
So after filling these forms I start to wonder, what can you actually could buy with Cryptos without the conversion to fiat.
Here is a short list which I found pretty interesting.
1.) A ticket to space !
Being one of the strong advocates of cryptocurrencies , Richard Branson actually sold some of his seats on Virgin Galactic using bitcoins. It was said that the Winklevoss twins ( the chumps which sued Mark Z for FB ) bought their tickets using BTC. Zero refund policy. source
2.) Take a degree
THE UNIVERSITY OF Nicosia in Cyprus teaches "Master of Science Degree in Digital Currency" accepts digital currency as a form of payment. Its part of their National growth plan to turn the Republic of Cyrpus into a bitcoin trading hub – the Wall Street of cryptocurrency. How cool is that !
3.) Fly business class to Las Vegas
For most people in Asia , the word Vegas is used many times from sleazy karaoke bars to name of Hotels which has no relation at all to Las Vegas. So with the price of steem and sbd soaring high .... this could be your break to buy an airline ticket to the most talked about entertainment city on the globe ... business class.
One of the earliest Online Travel Agencies ( OTAs ) which accepts crypto currencies is http://cheapair.com . Personally I've not used them yet as most of my flights are local bound. However my next international trip I would surely try it out. Have any of you used this ? Let me know your experience.
