I heard Satoshi died of Aids because he had sex with Charlie Sheen and Satoshi was the catcher.

Netease released a bitcoin story Monday. Founded in 1997, NetEase is one of the most influential online portal in China and renowned for its dynamic “comment culture”. So far 439 comments with 8,422 votes have been generated around the topic. These arguments certainly reflect the mainstream mindset. But the comments from viewers are not so friendly. The top 3 comments with most upvotes reads:

1. I have developed a MarsCoin after years of effort. It’s estimated to rise to 100,000 USD in 10 years. Martians may get free coins by upvote me.


2. The 2nd post raised a series of questions:

What happened after the 21 million coins are mined? If (bitcoin) become a universal currency, so the richest guy is the one that hold most coins? How much will it be if 21 million coins are to split for the 7 billion people on earth? Is fiats equivalent of paper? Can the elderly use them? What if another algorithm replace bitcoin in the future? Is the holder vulnerable to hacking? Do we need general acceptance if I want to use bitcoin? Why can’t we just use fiat if just for payment? Can we guarantee the storage of value via bitcoin?
The answer to the above questions is mocking bitcoin as human excrement.

3. The 3rd one gives two suggestions:1. If you have sufficient funds, take your chance. 2. If you want to lose everything, take your chance.


http://news.8btc.com/bitcoin-story-by-netease-stirs-up-negative-comments-among-chinese

Lord, I'm so tempted to translate the response cause that's the most hilarious thing I've seen all day. But it's getting late where I am, I'll check back tomz to see of anyone else has translated it, if not I'll do it myself.

Full translation of the 3rd one:
My shit's rare, shit is common but that is my shit (probs referring to alt-coins). Let's say I shit once per day, in one year I'll only have 365 shits. Now let's distribute that between the 7 billion people on earth and calculate how valuable the shit is based on its rarity. Say I promise not to shit anymore so you can trade a limited amount of my shit, now does that sound like a sound financial investment? Don't miss this chance boys, it's physical and it's shit, dry it to preserve it for tens of thousand of years, or even better, embroider my shit so historians in the future can dig up its fossils and wonder why people of our time traded literal shit. (so the guy basically went full sarcastic and called Bitcoin shit)


I'm a westerner. Bitcoin was invented in the west and propagated all over the world from the west. Bitcoin finally landed in China where almost all the volume is right now. So basically, he and his people are having a great time playing with my shit. LOL

As soon as he finishes treating Mexicans, Muslims and females like shit he will turn his attention to Bitcoin

I think a minor correction wouldn't hurt anyone now

Other than that, there are many in-betweens between Bitcoin, on the one hand, and all these people on the other. Given the opposition Trump is now facing, I think it will take a long time before Donald finally decides to nuke Bitcoin. It is quite possible that 4 years (personally, I hope for 8 as long as funny years) will be nowhere near enough. But during this time a lot of things may happen to Bitcoin even without Trump's direct intervention

Donald Trump has the lowest approval ratings of any President in US history. His ratings are worse than Richard Nixon's ratings were right before they were going to impeach him.

I really just want Trump to never associate himself with Bitcoin at all. I don't want people to mentally connect Trump and bitcoin.

So, what about Trump's move to curtail the Dodd-Frank Act?  The guy doesn't care anything about the working class....he is out for himself and his cronies, period.  He may even attack bitcoin soon....You see how he worries so much about money leaving the country?  He may take a stance on bitcoin similar to Russia's stance on bitcoin.  Will that be good?

That's correct. Trump really doesn't care about the American worker at all and he's proven it over and over again for 30 years. I just hope he never learns about bitcoin. He's such a loose cannon who knows what kind of a stance he would take on bitcoin.

Quote from:  USA Today
An investigation by USA Today has found that more than 3,500 lawsuits have been filed against Donald Trump and his business entities over the past 30 years. According to the paper, hundreds of former employees and contractors have accused Trump and his businesses of failing to pay them for their work. Victims have included a dishwasher in Florida, a glass company in New Jersey, a carpet company, a plumber, 48 waiters, dozens of bartenders at his resorts and clubs, and even several law firms that once represented him in these labor lawsuits. According to U.S. Department of Labor data, Trump’s companies have also been cited for 24 violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act since 2005 for failing to pay overtime or minimum wage.

I think Trump's on the up and up but I've got a sensation that we can get California detached

What an insane idea? California is already broke. They don't even have enough money for welfare payments. Most of the industries have shifted to Nevada and Arizona as a result of the high minimum wages and regulations.

Minimum wage in California is crazy. My neighbors kid just got his first job at Jamba Juice a couple of months ago. He was hired on for $13.75 per hour with a promise of $14.50 after six months. The most complicated thing he does is operate a blender. His father works at an auto garage that he's worked at for 12 years. He told me it took him 8 years to make what his son does now. LOL

In the end, the higher cost is passed on to the consumer. A 300 ml pack of juice which was earlier available for $3.00 will now cost $4.00. Reminds me of the USSR, where blue collar workers were earning more than the scientists and the doctors.

Where I'm from people pretty much need to make as much as doctors. If you want to live in a safe neighborhood in San Francisco like the Castro, the Haight or Hayes Valley expect to pay between $3,200 and $3,700 a month for rent on a 600 sf one bedroom apartment. I met a guy at Royal Grind coffee on Fillmore in Pacific Heights once that admitted he lived in his car and made over $4.5k a month take home. His plan was to work in SF for 5 years, move to another state and buy a house. Smart kid.

You gotta look at inflation. I bet his father could easily buy 3 times as much with same money.

Btw is minimum wage different in each state?

14$ minium wage not bad lols

No, prices haven't changed that much in a decade. Many states have had minimums below $7.00 for far more than 20 years, not even close to keeping track with inflation. Minimum wage is different in every jurisdiction. Georgia and Wyoming tie for the lowest minimum wage at $5.15 and the District of Columbia is the highest at $11.50. The federal (country wide) minimum is set at $7.25 but some states and employers violate that law.

If the states minimum wage is high like California is at $10.50 then employers must compete for available employees which makes the starting wages even higher. Quality employees (in San Francisco that means articulate English speaking employees) can command a really good starting wage which can be $5.00 or more above minimum.

God always exist to someone who needs him. If you happen not to need him, he's out of your life.
If you notice most of the people who are worshiping in the churches are the ones who needs something and god needs them to that's why they gave money to these priests.

They give money and little boys to priests.



Why do you always try to equate the Catholic Church with God? Is it because they talk god a lot? Is it because they say they are God's representative? Is it because that's one way you can attempt to shed bad light on god.

Wake up. No church is God. Rather, the church follows God, or they are liars if they don't yet say they do.

Cool

Because if these are gods followers I'd rather not associate with them or your god.

I'm actually a big supporter of succession.


Unique is one word , not the one I would use.

Quote
A protest at UC Berkeley over a scheduled appearance by right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos turned fiery and violent Wednesday night, prompting police to cancel the event and hustle the Breitbart News editor off campus.

But even after the event’s cancellation, hundreds of protesters spilled off campus into the city streets, where the violence continued as they confronted drivers, engaged in fights, smashed storefront windows and set fires.

I can feel the peace & love from here.  Tongue

 Cool

That's not a big deal. It's no worse than what people do on International Blvd in Oakland when the Raiders lose a game.

AN ANTI-TRUMP RESISTANCE MOVEMENT IS GROWING WITHIN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT

Quote
One Justice Department employee told the Post, “You’re going to see the bureaucrats using time to their advantage,” and added that “people here will resist and push back against orders they find unconscionable,” by whistle-blowing, leaking to the press, and lodging internal complaints. Others are staying in contact with officials appointed by President Obama to learn more about how they can undermine Trump’s agenda and attending workshops on how to effectively engage in civil disobedience, the Post reports.

It's about time self righteous Americans get what they deserve. Their Jesus isn't going to save them from Trump. I can't believe Americans are so ignorant they would elect Trump POTUS.

He said he's for the working class but has 3500 lawsuits for not paying his workers. Amerifoons. The great buffoons of the world.

Hmm,

What country are you in ?
You seem incredibly jealous of the US and Trump.

 Cool

FYI:
Since you keep mentioning Jesus.
You might want to look at one of his teachings.

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
