Entering the Tunnel and Libra Coin
When I looked on a map I thought this might be an interesting location in Melbourne to get some car trails entering the Citylink tunnel. I don't mind how the image turned out but it's definitely not what I had in my mind. I thought I could get the city buildings to be more of a feature, but even at 105mm they were still to small and hidden behind trees. AAMI park on the right looks kind of cool but nothing in the shot really stands out to me. Maybe I needed a better sky...
So is Facebook stealing Steemit's platform with Libra Coin? Are we going to start seeing everyone's favourite social media site turned into a blockchain rewards system where Likes will get you money? I think I might buy some Facebook shares because if that happens then they'll make so much more money.

From my very limited understanding, Libra is more of a stablecoin, that may be used on things such as FB marketplace and such. I haven't heard anything about them integrating with rewards based systems, but they should..as that's a pretty good way to do it.
But I'm not super smart on this topic, just going off a few small articles I read.
I isn't smart much neither.
I was just thinking of a "If I were Facebook, what would I do" situation.

Thanks a bunch!
FB's cryptocurrency is actually making me want to avoid it even more violently XD I'm already a bit thingi about how trackable everything is on here, that just sounds like a dystopia waiting to happen.
I think the tunnel inadvertently ended up being your feature with the contrasting colour. Sorry it didn't turn out quite how you wanted but it still looks good :)
Facebook = Big Brother
I wouldn't mind a dystopian society. Freedom is overrated. Our bodies function so much better because our cells don't have freedom
Cells also probably don’t think otherwise we’d have a Parasite Eve type situation 😱

Our self awareness may be a benefit, but can it disappear over time as we rely more and more on machines to do our thinking?
I don't think you can take self-awareness away with anything short of doing something traumatic to the brain (though some of the traumatic things may not register as trauma at the time XD). If people want to absolve responsibility though well no technology needed for that. Did you ever encounter the communal brain in your high school years? :)
I really like the composition here to be honest, the curving lines contrasting well against the squarish neon centre of the photo :) Sorry that it wasn't what you had wanted it to be, though :(
But I still think it's a great shot !
Libra sure will be a big game changer, I think... I am not on FB myself but if they were in any way even a lil bit
streetinternet smart, they probably have been watching steemit and learning from this place of what NOT to do :3We'll see how it will be, but I think you are right. If they really monetize the 'like' button over there, it will create so much demand as most people would just be blinded by the illusion of being able to earn off their posts . __ .
With the abuse of the system here with regards to plagiarism etc, imagine what Facebook would be like if they don't keep it in check.
People will probably spend non crypto money on ads to earn libra, making FB even more uber rich. Having a control on both bank and crypto currencies
It'll be the WILD, WILD WEST !
