Devil Bitcoin, ban it!

It was common in many areas in the early 1900's to fight against the coming of the automobile. After all, many people proclaimed, wide sales of cars could destroy the horse industry, cause all sorts of disturbance, and radically change the status quo.

For the Crypto bulls, google this:

...we have a long way to go.

what the hell? that's just ridiculous

In Kentucky, no less. Not at all surprised.

They took the time away from banging their sisters to make this.

Be gone devil! Let us live our lives and increase our bitcoin wealth.  ;D

No one going to talk about ban bitcoin moslty like to talk about increasing wealth with bitcoin right now

Lol funny article

i find it cool  :)

Hehe i give this article 10/10 xD

sooo, Kentucky, huh ? xD

This article is somewhere between total ridiculous and kind fun xD

This is funny enough :).

Only in the great US of A - haha oh brother  :)

Easy now.  I am in Louisville, Ky, and there is no love between siblings here.

I'm down to ban bitcoin if we completely get rid of JPM Chase and Goldman Sachs and execute their CEOs

Sure, this article appears bizarre 100 years after it was written. Yet, if you look at the current regulatory frenzy around crypto, this is equally bizarre. I hope that 100 years from now, using crypto is completely normal for transactions of all sorts, so that people will only laugh about the bizarre attempts to stop this invention.

Maybe in 10-20 years, banks will use the crypto network infrastructure for their transactions just like they use the internet today?

It is no coincidence that Wells Fargo is relatively crypto friendly, a company that has seen a lot of change in their 150 year history. They started out with horse carriages too  :D

Free Kevin Mitnick!

NVM, he is free already... Old news...

The bitcoin wallet put a daemon on my computer, it is hiding in the same folder as the wallet... Should I delete the daemon?

ha ha they certainly did, didn't they?

That's a nice little insight.

LOL you need a good exorcist now!  ;D

Anyone here exorcise?

I know, I was being sarcastic...it's just a stereotype...

Well I'm from Kentucky and I'm not ashamed of my imbred children.

In my country when first computer is first introduced people are against it. They want to ban computer.They afraid they will loose their jobs. But now every family has one.

Guess what the "d" in "bitcoind" stands for. bash# top [enter]
