It's Bitcoin that is democratic, relative to fiat in that economic policy is no longer centrally controlled, but democratically decided by the community (miners).
The miners don't decide anything by any method that equates to what we would call "democratic" all they do is build on the best chain that they see - so again I don't get the use of the word "democratic". Yes, they do. The miners decide which coins to mine*, the miners decide which fork survives in a hard fork, the miners decide which bitcoin patches are used and which are not. This is all the epitome of democracy. *You may argue, no, they mine whichever is most profitable and profit is determined by market valuation, but reality is not so simple and clear cut. Some will only mine bitcoin even when another coin would be more profitable. |

A tamper-proof, transparent, democratic public ledger.
It is in no way democratic as there is no "voting" or "majority rules" but simply "the rules of the software". So perhaps just: A tamper-proof and transparent public ledger. Perhaps you're right. It's Bitcoin that is democratic, relative to fiat in that economic policy is no longer centrally controlled, but democratically decided by the community (miners - code as law). The blockchain is pure anarchism but at the same time perfect and ordered. That is not an accident or a coincidence. Anarchy (consensus) was always the true order. It is the violent power-hierarchies of capitalism and the state that are the disorder / dystopia. "Anarchy is Order Without Power" -Proudhon |

If you're ever asked about the banking system please mention that you're not using the U.S. Dollar, but fiat currency technology. It's definitely the next big thing. And by "thing", you mean "premine scam", correct? Because that's all fiat is. |

Yeah, right after the Easter Bunny gives you a nice long rimjob.  |

American "libertarianism" is growing only among sheltered suburban white males with republican parents. Most healthy teenagers grow out of childish Randian philosophy before they turn 17. Only those who stop reading other philosophical works, the fundamentalists, remain libertarians.  |

Another fantastic recommendation from you, my friend.  "Every human being is an invaluable masterpiece from the moment they're born and we as a species are meant for great things. Greater than we can even conceive, right now... and compulsory work for the sake of survival is an obstacle to achieving these goals." Glad to be of service. |

Do you have a feeling BTC has slowed down a bit? Nope, sure don't.   |

Every day the United States government has less legitimacy in authority, less legitimacy in the use of violence against any individual. How long until we get our Mohamed Bouazizi? |

My guess is that the most annoying thing for faucet addicts is everybody telling them that they are wasting their time, though probably more annoying than that is when they realize that they actually have wasted their time.
This, the most painful moment for any peasant is when they realize their latest pathway to riches is yet again a false hope. |

Animals always shows their emotion more than humans do. it's just that not all of their kinds know what "gratitude" is.
You are personifying the shit out of these dogs. Dogs don't understand death very well, they often stay with the dead body of a human for days waiting for him/her to wake up. |

So the excessive barking is just to drive me insane? Smart little bastards.
The excessive barking is your cosmic punishment for not properly training your dog when it was a puppy. |

Varoufakis will be killed by the bankers before he could implement any such measure. If the assassination attempt fails, then there is a strong chance that NATO will invade Greece and take over its financial system.
This means nuclear war. Do they have the balls to do it? I don't think so. NATO is pussy. The thing you need to understand about Nuclear war, is that the people who get to make such decisions (and their families) will be safely tucked away in a secret underground bunker. The state-brainwashed military peasants carrying out the orders will be witlessly condemning themselves and their families to death. They may not even know what's in the bomb bay of the plane they're flying. Nuclear war genocide is thus the ultimate cowardice, the antithesis of Bushido, the total rejection of honor. Humanity's final, fatal ethical failure. |

It could be safer, but travelling by plane is usually very safe. Yep, flight is already by far the safest mode of transportation. Ignore the scary news anecdotes and note the data. |

Not possible as the person was already dead. You can't feel glad or anything else when your brain matter is rotting. |
