Well then Tacktic, you seem to fit right in here in the Unoverse if that is what you are hoping for. I think a lot of us are just plain fed up with the amount of manipulation that takes place as a result of the way the financial world is structured. Are we going to change the entire world? Naw, highly doubt it. We can strive to make our lives better though, and share that with others, and hope it improves the quality of their lives as much as it has our own.
I just had a thought( lol doesn't happen that often!) , and then i just had another thought (batting 1000 today!!) that it is being done. First thought was something like a fort knox for uno/silver. It was going off the thought that i have no issues some how 'locking' up 300 uno and 30 ozs of silver. To establish something 'real' anyway. Not sure in which direction to further take that, if it is feasible, would it help anything out? What would be the best way of going about doing this? I have a fairly decent sized safe to lock the metals up in, but that is really for show. In a safe or not isn't as important as standing behind the terms of what was put forth. I.e even if the silver was stolen, making sure that you plan to replace that silver with the original amount. The second thought was, IMZ is most likely doing something along these lines lol!
To get back to the Uno/community pairing. Rehashing that train of thought, perhaps the most valuable, and underrated pairing in the whole crypto scene is Crypto/trust. Trust is a commodity. It is important, and humans know it, that is why it is so often used as a tool of manipulation. Living up to what you are saying as well as sticking around when times are good, and bad. This all adds up. People have always tried to have some concrete way to gauge trust, seller ratings, trusted traders, vetting people. What could very well set this community apart from others is trust. So how does one establish trust? I would like to think, by being open, TRANSPARENCY (i hope the nsa is reading this shit..
) We aren't lacking it, but it is something that needs to be kept in mind so it remains strong. I think that is going to be the biggest draw into Uno. Setting up things like the silver stash and such just helps show that people are willing to stand behind the coin.
@ BCN glad i am making sense in some manner
!
To absorb the volatility? It is hard to say. Have we ever figured out what % of coins the community here holds? That requires a lot of transparency and i can fully understand why people wouldn't want to disclose that. On a personal level i have never been one to care if people know how much i have, or how little i do not have. I can respect ones rights to privacy, but hopefully they could at least the good that could come from disclosing that info, not total net worth, just the current standing in Uno.
There is strength in unity. I love individual freedoms and liberties, but when we band together there is NOTHING that is impossible. One man could never have went into space, never could have conceptualized and actualized the whole thing, too much for one life time. Between machining the parts, the math behind it all, extracting ore to make the metals, the fuels. Coming together for a common cause though, numerous groups achieved that. Then again, the contribution of the individuals, it couldn't have happened without each individual. Neither one is more important than the other. I love how life works. We can do it though guys. So far it has been amazing. It took bitcoin what? 3 years? To gain 'mass' adoption. Within the past two years it went from 1200 to 200. In the same time frame, if you bought uno and held it for three months.. maybe someone who is good with charts could create three month chunks to see if you would have ever lost if you held if for just 3 months? I am curious, i don't wanna spout random numbers (haha even though i totally just did
) but that would be a cool number to see, the shortest period of time required to hold uno to sell off for 10% gain. Something along those lines.
I sincerely hope the year of the ipo/scam coins is over. It was repulsive that people were running so high off the adrenaline, or perhaps they really did have THAT much more liquidity in their assets due to when bitcoin was spiking super high, which ever the case they shouldn't have been so openly buying into all those empty promises. A majority of ipo coins were just premined pos coins that released with none of their promised features, that was the bait, the features, hooked ya, then they keep reeling ya along. "The sale lasted 42 days, starting on July 22nd and ending at 23:59 Zug time September 2, and collected a total of 31531 BTC, worth $18,439,086 at the time of the sale, in exchange for about 60102216 ET" AWESOME. For them... Where else on the planet could you get 18 million dollars for being well spoken and having a website.. HAHAHA omfg, what could they possibly develop? They sold a fucking idea for 18 million fucking dollars. HOLY!!! Okay that reality of that situation just sunk in for me, i am cray jel atm. I still sincerely hope this crap is over. That is just one example as well. I def got burned, got caught up in the hype of a few coins my self. Live and learn. I just find the numbers astounding.
... but buy, I shall. 
That would probably be helpful in understanding how to set up an UNO community sponsored trader.
