<h3>What's the difference?</h3>
<p>Musing on the Pros and Cons of some sh1te sunglasses with manufacturing costs of under a dollar, probably from factories in China.</p>

<p>How's that for a topic! You see I'm just fooling around. I actually wanted to share a couple of nice shots of the beach, and show off the fact these cheap sunglasses do a decent job, and if ever lost, are replaced easily. It reminds me of the book by Robert Persig - Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance'. He touches on the subject matter of quality a lot, and quality is something that has a diverse set of parameters tied to it.</p>

<p>'Things' can have both perceived value and perceived quality, it's important to separate value from quality, as it helps determine real and perceived (tangible/intangible) value. So how much are my sunglasses worth? Nothing right now - but, should I become famous, or let Tom Cruise wear them in his next movie, suddenly they are worth something. If I do both, they could be almost priceless! Why? To whom? For what? They'll still be a $2 pair of sunglasses.</p>

<h3>Value - Quality - Perception</h3>
<p>This is what I'm getting at today. What creates value? What is quality. I'm asking questions, and throwing out the train of thought, to help us both discover "What makes a cryptocurrency worth something!". To help you read this far in future, you see I'm going to always make my writing have a point, and leave a beginning, middle and end with some after thoughts for you to ponder. I'm also aiming to impart knowledge and wisdom in ways that are applicable to everything in life, and you'll damn well have to read in a bit further to get to them than all this ' me me me ' disposable viral post trash (viruses are usually bad for you, umm kay) you normally ingest being vomited at you with emotional manipulation and one-arm bandit fruit machine tactics on facebook. Not here, it is time for me to write.</p>

<p>So back to the sunglasses, I had a few hours to spare and sponsored by Honda headed out for a few hours around the local beaches (post soon) and to a tourist night market. I found sunglasses that are polarized, fit well and are comfortable to wear all day for under $3. It used to be 99c, but this is the modern world, so F you and inflation as this world seems to tell us, daily... </p>

<h3>TL, DR: Definitely, would do it all again, if I lost these ones another is only $3. Polarized which is quality. 5/5 </h3>
