  • Zum Auftakt ermöglichen der überwiegende Teil der Sparkassen sowie Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken in Deutschland mit Wero mobile Zahlungen von einem Handy auf das andere. Ab 2025 soll man mit Wero auch online und ab 2026 im Einzelhandel bezahlen können.

    Ich hoffe noch immer dass wir uns von den US Payment Prozessoren eines Tages verabschieden können. In weiten teilen von Asien kann jeder 1zu1 in Sekunden digital Geld überweisen ohne Banking-Limitation. Vielleicht wird die Einführung des digitalen Euro in den nächsten 3-6 Jahren dem ganzen nochmal mehr Schwung geben. Visa, MasterCard und Paypal sollten nicht nötig sein, damit ich für eine Hähnchen-Flute vom Bäcker meiner Kollegin 4,20 EUR zurückgeben kann.



  • How do you solve the discoverability issue? A platform gives you some place where people could stumble upon you, while a website is an island in the middle of an ocean that people have to actively browse to. Do you crosspost your new work now more to get the word seen by others? I find it hard to believe that people would like to browse to x different websites to see if an artist has new works, only to find out that they don’t. For finding new artist a central place or a feed, like a platform can provide, seems to be nearly impossible to replace.




  • OCTOBER 3, 2018 The Cruelty Is the Point

    But it’s not the burned, mutilated bodies that stick with me. It’s the faces of the white men in the crowd. There’s the photo of the lynching of Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith in Indiana in 1930, in which a white man can be seen grinning at the camera as he tenderly holds the hand of his wife or girlfriend. There’s the undated photo from Duluth, Minnesota, in which grinning white men stand next to the mutilated, half-naked bodies of two men lashed to a post in the street—one of the white men is straining to get into the picture, his smile cutting from ear to ear. There’s the photo of a crowd of white men huddled behind the smoldering corpse of a man burned to death; one of them is wearing a smart suit, a fedora hat, and a bright smile.

    Their names have mostly been lost to time. But these grinning men were someone’s brother, son, husband, father. They were human beings, people who took immense pleasure in the utter cruelty of torturing others to death—and were so proud of doing so that they posed for photographs with their handiwork, jostling to ensure they caught the eye of the lens, so that the world would know they’d been there. Their cruelty made them feel good, it made them feel proud, it made them feel happy. And it made them feel closer to one another.
