Sounds like classic user error to me. Better luck in the future, friend.

Bye honey, better luck with your next "Bitcoin" thread.

Sounds like a solution available only to the wealthiest ten percent or so.

What assets? My computer? My rolling papers? We the many have no assets. That's the problem.

Spreading your assets across borders won't help you when the many of every nation finally wake up and claim their fair share.

They probably wouldn't expend many resources to manipulate a community this small, but they are definitely on reddit and facebook.

Actually, as a random underemployed nobody, I'm a 5th class citizen.

Active military and blue-shirt cops are 4th class,

Military officers and white shirt cops are 3rd class,

Military top brass, federal agents, lawyers, state representatives, and lobbyists are 2nd class

Corporate executives, federal representatives, celebrities, and banksters are 1st class citizens.

The unemployed are 6th class citizens, entitled to the state's protection from suffering and death for a maximum of 99 weeks. After that, they become untouchables, invisible. Humbly and quietly they grow into a mob.

The homeless are not citizens. They're an irritation, an infestation, less than disposable rubbish to the capitalist system.

God bless america.

Can't wait for the film, and that rap is great. Thanks for sharing!

The applications of those ideas exist as organizations of men. On the blockchain they will exist as code, reaching a level of efficiency traditional organizations couldn't dream of.

Everything one needs to know to evaluate Bitcoin's investment worthiness is in the public domain, it's an open-source protocol. 

Identity politics is of little concern in matters of science.

Yes, and I can imagine a world without the internet. And a world without computers. But I wouldn't be particularly excited about any of them.

Definitions of words are almost never static, but are organic and slowly evolve over time. But I agree that having a deep understanding of language is important now more than ever.

"The term libertarianism originally referred to a philosophical belief in free will but later became associated with anti-state socialism and Enlightenment-influenced political movements critical of institutional authority believed to serve forms of social domination and injustice. While it has generally retained its earlier political usage as a synonym for social anarchism through much of the world, in the United States it has since come to describe pro-capitalist economic liberalism more so than radical, anti-capitalist egalitarianism."

The right wing political machine has coopted the term libertarian to refer to pro-capitalist that is leans liberal on social issues, with the important exception of income inequality, class, and related socio-economic problems.
Only you and a relative handful (~15 mil of 350 mil of 7 billion) of other white, mostly-christian, mostly-male republican-voting idiot americans slanders the word libertarian to mean ANYTHING pro-capitalist.

And the right is desperately trying to coopt the word anarchy itself, by creating insane oxymorons such as "anarcho-capitalist".

Spend a few minutes doing research next time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism

For about 99.9% of the past five hundred thousand years or so.

Your utopian fantasy version of capitalism never existed, you mean. Nor will it ever. So why even bother discussing it? It's even more absurd than socialist utopian fantasies.

At this point it'd be more accurate to say that the government is the extended arm of the corporations. Corporations buy politicians, not the other way around.

"Yeah, and there'd be no crime, either! And no poverty! Definitely no exploitation happening, and no pollution!"  

This is the way capitalism evolved because it was the only way capitalism could have evolved. You can't create an alternate reality for a convenient defense of capitalism, and still expect to be taken seriously.

That's nonsensical, live in reality for fuck's sake.

Simple observation and deduction, my good man.

1. You have identified yourself as a libertarian.
2. Your use of the word libertarian in the american sense - political right pro-capitalist, rather than europe's libertarian meaning political left, often anti-capitalist
3. 94% of american libertarians are white, non-hispanic.
4. 68% of american libertarians are male.
5. You're a bitcoiner, so definitely male. Only 4% of bitcoiners are female.
6. You're a bitcoiner, so probably younger than the average libertarian, likely between 20 and 40.

Honestly now, if we continue down this selfish, short-sighted path, where do you people think it ends? What is the logical conclusion of capitalism in your mind? Because it's certainly not a planet your grandchildren will thank you for. The science is clear on that.
Sooner or later we're going to have to face the fact that our current economic structures are both genocidal and suicidal, and then we're going to have to answer some hard questions about the future. All I'm saying is, why the hell should we wait?!

Your friendly local SJW,

Communism is even dead than capitalism, one might as well identify as a Franciscan Monk Radical. I'm a social anarchist / anarcho-socialist / libertarian socialist / person who is better at pattern recognition than you. Take your pick.

By the way, I'm happy to go on record admitting that yes, I do enjoy making libertarians (and other capitalists) squirm by exposing them to the cruelty, indifference, and global ecological devastation of capitalism.

Many paths to the continued loss of biodiversity, many paths to destruction and ruin. Far fewer paths to an ecologically sustainable Earth, abundant with life, none of which involve industrial capitalism.

Witness the shallow, suicidal logic of the capitalist. "If it doesn't affect ME, why should I care?"

Friend, that logic allows for slavery, genocide, torture, rape, and all things horrible to persist. Don't you think it'd be nice if we did our part to leave this place a little better off than we found it?

How about ethics, hard of it? Reason is my god, and reason demands ethics.

It will, but denying your mind this suffering is denying it growth, and wisdom.

Why do you feel the need to put words in my mouth? If I believed that, I'd have said it.

Yet again, not something I said. Being incapable of reason is not the same as having a closed mind about certain issues which make libertarians feel uncomfortable. Modern wage slavery and inhumane working conditions, for example. Or the wholesale abandonment of Detroit.

I wonder how much mental energy it takes to support the cognitive dissonance present in a white male libertarian capitalist american in 2015? A stunning vacuum of awareness when it comes to privilege. How finely you have sculpted your mind to avoid these truths, truly it is a work of art.



Deep down you know it is only good fortune that spares you from their suffering. Just as easily could have been you, just as easily could be your grandchildren. Try not to think about it, empathy hurts!
