any county that can find a way to embrace bitcoin will control the our future. china will wait patiently for america to do the ban so that they can take over the world.

is it a wallet for Machin?

Sure, he is a democrat. Democrats are interested in bigger money from gay activists and marijuana cartels..

We all here are bitcoin owner

Stop it, you created this yourself without his consent on that website.

No, its that Democrats just want to control everyone because they like power.

Republicans don't really care about controlling anyone, they just want to steal everyone's money and rape the country.

Not sure which is worse.

I'm clueless here but why are bitcoiners actually tipping him?

What happened when alcohol was outlawed? Sellers started getting sent to federal prison.
What happened when marijuana was outlawed? Sellers started getting sent to federal prison.
What happens if bitcoin is outlawed? No bank, exchange, financial services institution, or business will be able to accept it. Makes it somewhat worthless.

Your first two examples work because alcohol and marijuana have a physical utility (they are addictive substances). What the hell are you going to do with your bitcoin when nobody accepts them anymore? Sit there and stare at it?

Its fine that you don't understand. Bitcoin doesn't need you to understand.

Because were a mischievous bunch of miscreants  ;)
We will just call it the start of an interest group lol

I'm glad to be here   :D

Fun for all, also encouraged me to setup tippercoin for myself! :D  @s_8_8
Have fun everyone, and I am past my bed time.

Money only has value if people believe it does. You get the largest economy in the world banning it, and the other economies banning it, and pretty soon that "value" you are sending to anyone no longer has value.

No government will ever shut down bitcoin. We've seen that it's impossible to shut down P2P file sharing. What they can do is destroy its *value.*

P.S. My friend's roommate scrapes the ash residue out of his bong and smokes the ash when he's out of marijuana. Never smoked the stuff, so I couldn't say, but it sure as hell sounds addicting to me. YMMV.

He probably had BTC at Gox then. Maybe that's why he's behind trying to ban it? :-\

If I can't have it, NOBODY CAN.   >:(

That's the selfish attitude of your senator, which the people have picked.

interesting

People don't pick these guys.  Huge Super-PACs elect these guys to run the country their way instead of the way of the voter.  Most voters don't have a clue what their representatives truly stand for...

+1 for the agree on your statement, though -- because they 'did' vote him - but they had no idea why they were picking him (along with any other politician anymore...)

Let's give him the Darwin award he earned it.
