That is unfortunate. Seems like all the services using Bitcoin as it was meant to be used were chased off. I hope that trend reverses at some point. I liked it better when the community was full of cypherpunks instead of politicians.

I would echo the idea that Ron Paul’s name is the one that should be attached to all things “audit the Fed.”

Probably due to the large amount of users that still have positive trust view of him despite his being a confirmed liar and overall disgusting human being.

LeBron was on his way to China to do a media tour.  He wasn't so much mad about the tweet as he was the timing because it messed up his annual China tour.

This was a crazy read.  I wish more of these operations had survived.

Anyone who used DirectBet.eu might know how it utilized Bitcoin to make the experience better and more direct than traditional deposit/bet sites.  Are there any trusted sites with similar user experiences these days (no registering an account or making deposits)?

I fear that human beings will eventually grow so tall that the dimensions in the game of basketball will have to be changed.

I’m guessing we’ll be seeing a wave of Tesla Powerwall advertisements in California in the near future.

It can buy puppies, and that’s pretty close.

A reminder I won’t escrow PayPal. I don’t care if you’re willing to take the risk. Escrow offers no protection for reversible payment methods.

I think eventually useless cryptocurrencies the market is filled with today will be gone, but it wouldn’t surprise me if one day there were thousands of purposed blockchains that show useful information. Imagine every service company you use having a blockchain showing your subscription and payment info.

I thought I read that Elon Musk made 500 million of a potential 2.2 billion dollar payout last year.

My facebook feed is full of posts about people desperately trying to find generators, or in need of water because their well pumps are no longer operational.  I'm seeing pictures of supermarket shelves sitting empty, and lots of folks claiming they're going to go solar as a result (not understanding that solar needs a functioning grid or battery backup system to function, and would thus be useless in this scenario).  It's an eye opener for how unprepared most people are to handle such a simple inconvenience even with a warning.  In a real crisis, things will likely get very ugly, very fast. 

Clearly, his decision to make up a lie claiming I offered him NastyMining shares (which don't even exist) to sponsor his project and then attacking me with lies when I disputed his false claim with facts shows the guy has a few screws loose.  It does highlight the behavior he's been getting away with for far too long and shows who supports honesty and who supports whatever troll is making waves around here. 

For those who don't know, you can shop at smile.amazon.com and a portion of your purchase gets donated to a charity you choose.  I was happy to learn I helped contribute to nearly a half million dollar donation to ASPCA last quarter.  I urge anyone who uses Amazon to check it out.   

Some people trust me. The OP gives an example of how it works.

I was surprised by this as well.  It was meant to show how powerful Thanos is I'm sure, but Hulk should've been able to hold his own better without having the Infinity Stones used against him.  Made him look weak in comparison to Thanos, which I guess was the point.

Nope. I would just like to buy them for that price and I missed out on the last auction.
