Showing 2 of 2 pages (43 Comments)because of greed and tradition and the refusal to
offer products and services to the less wealthy
and poorer nations the rich have retained the
paper money trump card and shunned the new
technology called digital transaction or free

Ads are fine I guess because they are not
directly related to paper money and so they
provide a service of advertising one's website or
whatever; similar to Google Base so I have always
supported Ads. But why not everyone give
everthing away for free. We have a simple
transaction 'Base' so let's all go for it and
create a utopia! Everyone gets what they want no
reason to steal.
