$WMT is so far behind the times, any added tech can only help its e-commerce efforts. Acquiring #Jet is a move in the right direction. But the pairing will not be a case of 2+2 equals 5, and they still will be no match for $AMZN. Not too mention, trying to integrate the two sites likely be worse than the ObamaCare site snafu.
I assume eating healthier would play a factor as well. Though $MCD has been trying to promote healthier offerings on their menu for a while now. But it will take a lot of marketing for Americans to equate #McDonalds with healthy!
I would have thought that the troubled economy would have sent the middle class to places like #McDonalds in droves. Why? Because they can no longer afford the more upscale restaurants they used to frequent, and/or as they work extra hours, or two part-time jobs, they no longer have time to cook themselves. $MCD.
I think you're right John. The constant and extreme volatility, in my opinion, is the main thing holding Bitcoin back from being an actual currency. As it stands, more people are interested in trading it in order to swing fast profits instead of keeping it in order to exchange for goods and services.
The problem is these days a BS or BA puts you on par with other applicants, as opposed to elevating you above them. The bachelor's degree these days is the bare minimum. There are graduating with target degrees (finance, accounting, etc) that are struggling to find gainful employment in their field upon graduating college.
My understanding of the process is rudimentary, so forgive me if I am mistaken, but wouldn't shorting Bitcoin and then manipulating the blockchain be a possible incentive for a 51% attack?
