Have you tried real cold showers and stand-up desks though or you just hate progressive people?

I've been trying to get ChainLink, but I can't.
I understand the problem, but what is the role of chainlink in this?
Is it a company that tries to become a monopoly in the API field by making more partnerships than others?
Why do you need the tokens, are they used for making API calls? Why would people/companies pay for it? Why should API calls be a scarce resource?

Anyway for me it doesn't make sense so far. Right now assets such as fiat bank account, real estate, stocks etc. are under governments control and enforced by the police. I don't understand how do you expect the government and police suddenly respect ownership on the blockchain, why would they care?
Asking for permission and trying to integrate blockchain into an existing system is a dead end. Crypto has to build its own infrastructure from scratch where new wealth will be made and governments will have to bend to get a part of that wealth.

>Go to a hospital in Oregon with food poisoning
>Want to pay my bill immediately so I could get receipt for health insurance
>"Nope, we'll send you a letter in mail to a US address in 2 weeks, we don't do e-mails"
>ok sure. I live oversea so I gave them address of a friend
>Got the mail 2 weeks later. Try to pay online with 2 different credit cards(VISA and Mastercard), both say rejected. Possibly because they want a US address with it which I don't have
>Try to pay with credit cards over the phone, same results even with my girlfriends credit cards
>I even contacted my card provider why it declined, they say I put wrong CVV2. I'm 100% certain that I didn't, tried many times with different cards.
>So I did a TransferWise transfer to my friend in US which took 2 days
>Finally they accepted his credit card over the phone
>Now have to wait for a receipt on mail for 2 weeks
>It's been over a month now all together and I still haven't been able to file a damage report for insurance because I don't have receipt. Also will have to explain to them all this process why the money wasn't just taken from my bank account using a credit card.
Tell me again that fiat just works and we don't need cryptos.

The FUD summary
>It's a scam
>Everyone besides the bagholders know 100% it's a scam
>I don't have time to explain why
>If you hold skycoin, you're part of a cult
Can you please try harder? Maybe you have some legit reasons for these accusations, but so far not.

So nation states are slowly dying and they will eventually become desperate and abuse their power. I'd like to prepare for this by getting rid of these privacy abusers on my phone:
>Google
Pretty much Androids need you to log in with a google account. I've read about LineageOS being an alternative for this. Has anyone got any experience with a smartphone Android OS that doesn't use google?
>mobile service provider/government
So in my country for example the service provider apparently is storing your locations everywhere you go and keeps the information at least for 6 months. The government can of course access that data and I've also heard rumors that the police can download your phones content and listen to your conversations while the phone is in your pocket. Is there even a way to deal with these issues with software? I've heard that pretty much all mainstream phones have these "backdoor chips".

I read the quotes and there's quite a few stupid repeating typos.
Are these quotes written by Synth or someone else wrote it by listening his videos or something? It reduces credibility.

MFW I have to wait for a whole year to get my Tesla Model 3 because the production is way too slow.
But he sent a Roadster to space though.
