I force myself to watch it, even though I don't enjoy watching it: I see it as payment for how much time I spend enjoying lesbian porn  I would probably draw the line at watching two guys bumming though, I've got no problem with them doing it but I don't wanna see that shit haha! |

1. Akira
2. Armitage
3. Ghost in the Shell
4. Princess Mononoke
5. Spirited Away
Great titles!
Nice list, the order of mine would be the same, but I haven't seen Armitage (I'll check it out). I'd probably have GITS Innocence at number 5. I'm also looking forward to seeing a film called "Short Peace", and the new Ghibli/Hayao Miyazaki film "The Wind Rises", I am a sucker for the Ghibli stuff... I tend to prefer full films to series, but there are some great series I've seen: Death Note (So fucking cool) Mushi-shi (this is so relaxing, and different to most other anime (cyberpunk, scifi) that I normally enjoy) Attack on Titan (Bit too much talking, but otherwise great) Berserk (Medieval style fantasy, good fun) Full Metal Alchemist (Great story and characters, a nice change from the darker/disturbing anime) Basilisk (Crazy ninjas with supernatural abilities fighting to the death) Texhnolyze (dark dystopian business, great artwork, slow-paced but better for it) Serial Experiments Lain (This is pretty abstract and slow, but very relevant to today's internet society) This thread is great, I'm gonna try and watch some of the anime other people are mentioning! |

He is thinking that a billion = 10^6, not 10^9. Remember, in some countries, million & billion are switched around in their meanings.
I don't think any countries "switch" million and billion, I know some countries call 10^12 a "billion" (ie a million million). Could be a typo though, I've heard this pricing argument with 1 BTC=$1m quite a few times, I don't think it will happen though, any price over $100,000 is pretty damn unlikely for the next 10 years IMO. |

Done  To clarify I have bought from Mt. Gox, blockchain.info, localbitcoins and Virwox (paypal>linden dollars>BTC). I sold some on Gox ~1 year ago. I stopped using Gox when I heard about fiat withdrawal problems, and if I were to sell any today I would probably use localbitcoins. Cheers |

Think it averages out at round 10-15%
Diff ratios for diff kinds of capital
Yes, these different ratios for different capital is what "Basel III" rules state I think. The problem in 2008 was that a bank needed ~equal capital to lend a business loan, whereas they only needed ~10% for a mortgage loan. So obviously they lended far more mortgages than Business loans, leading to the crisis. So Basel III changes this setup, giving more lenient leverage to business loans, supposedly to aid economic growth. However, is it true that commercial banks can simply borrow money form the central bank, if their capital deposits dwindle (ie by selling pensions/mortgages back to the central bank? (I read this somewhere, can't find the source). if this is true it could very easily implode IMO. |

I think Keiser really appreciates (still) the elegance of crypto technology and how it could theoretically change world economics for the better. He blatantly does do some pumping and dumping IMO however (well it's already made him rich, right?) And he can get very dramatic (that's one of the reasons I enjoy watching his shows though tbh hehe).
But I'm not just talking about Max Keiser - most of the Bitcoin articles on RT online are pro, yet the Russian's officiial stance is still anti, amirite?

OK, so I've seen a lot of articles proclaiming Russia's anti-bitcoin stance, but Russia Today seems to be extremely pro-Bitcoin.
But aren't they controlled by the Kremlin?
I would say either RT is acting like "controlled opposition" here, appearing to allow pro-Bitcoin reports to undermine the US+Western regulations, or Russia itself is pro-Bitcoin. My money's on the former.
Discuss.

I am a newbie here. My question is if Bitcoin is still a good currency, not yet a ponzi?
If it wasn't a Ponzi to begin with, then it can't magically turn into one 3 years down the line unless someone were to somehow take control (which is impossible with Bitcoin), so no, it's still good. I didn't notice the necrobump till I'd read 90% of the thread! Just goes to show that the fundamentals haven't changed much in the last 3 years. |

Thanks, I've previously read the Wikipedia link but not that article, interesting. I think I'm getting the idea of capital requirement, been reading about the Basel Rules in detail. So it's basically similar to reserve requirement, but weighted differently for different types of loans and assets, right? |
|
|

So we all know that commercial banks create new money out of thin air, in the form of loans and mortgages. My question is what fraction of loans must they hold in reserves/deposit, and who enforces these regulations? I thought the figure (in the UK) was between 1% and 10%, but I've read in a few places that there is no technical limit, and that commercial banks can basically lend out as much as they like, no matter how little they hold in reserve. Obviously they run the risk of becoming insolvent if they do this recklessly. According to Wikipedia: Canada, the UK, New Zealand, Australia and Sweden have no reserve requirements.
This does not mean that banks can - even in theory - create money without limit. On the contrary: banks are constrained by capital requirements, which are arguably more important than reserve requirements even in countries that have reserve requirements. I'm trying to get my head round the details of "capital requirements" right now, the definitions are a bit complicated. I hope someone can enlighten me! |

Learn how to play poker, then go on sealswithclubs.eu and quadruple your bitcoin stash.
That's what I did, but bear in mind I've played poker for many years. I'm not amazing, but I know my way around an online poker table.
Yes it's gambling, but poker is probably about 60% skill, 40% luck - a lot better than most other forms of gambling.

So to get this straight, you are saying that there will be multiple dumps, causing a drop in value to $130-$170 per BTC? Then there will be big buys from the "BIG BOYS", pushing the price back up again? Are these the same BIG BOYS selling, as the ones that will be buying after the capitulation? I think you want cheap coins mate, good luck with that |

I was hoping to see actual plans for this "QEG". Unfortunately the linked PDF contains no plans, just a bunch of new-age pseudoscience. It even contains a section which explains how bumblebees can fly (you remember the old, disproven myth that bumblebees break the laws of physics  ) Next to the larynx in the bumblebees throat, there is a tiny hollow tube that acts as a resonance cavity that accumulates frequency. When the bee starts beating its wings, it does this to accumulate frequency which bounces back and forth in the resonator cavity until it reaches the same frequency of the earth, known as the Schumann frequency.
Once the bee reaches the same frequency as its surroundings it evens out into what is known as zero point. When anything reaches zero point you can then change the energy. The bee is now free from the gravitational influence around it, creates its own little magnetic bubble and hovers around. "accumulating frequency", "evens out into zero-point" haha great stuff |
