I am talking about mining not the fees. Surly this isn't a good thing. High cost = excellent network security. A bargain at any price when money is what's being protected. |

Brandishing (gripping your gun, while pointed in any direction) is not "open carry". It can be deemed a crime if you grip it as an aggressor and not a defender.
This tends to end with tragedy in our major cities. Haven't you been paying attention? |

It's been moon news all along, since the genesis block. It's just that most people aren't perceptive enough to read the signals. Yet.

This is buy time for sure, you'd be crazy not to buy while it's still sub 300 given what's going on in the bitsphere at this very moment.

C'mon, lets calm down with the deathbear stuff. It's getting repetitive. It will never stop being fun. |

Oh, and 1) most GSW are survivable, according to mortality rates and 2) most defensive gun uses don't require any shot(s) to be fired to stop the criminal, so fuck the "guns are only for killing" categorical BULLSHIT. Only true in open-carry situations which basically means NO major US cities where more and more of the population is crowding. |

I think you will remain willfully ignorant no matter what I say. You seem to think without the police violent crime would go away. Don't be absurd. A capitalist society with no police would mean no government, so dominated by two or three megacorporations in true neo-fascist nightmare world style. I believe an egalitarian post capitalism non-economy would make possible for our species the permanent transcension of violence, within a few generations of the "post-capitalism moment". Or that it is unreasonable to defend yourself because there is no such thing as murder. In 2015 there are dozens of effective non-lethal means of defending oneself. Tranq guns, pepperspray, foam spray guns, handheld tazers, projectile tazers (!), super high-powered flashlights to name a few. To say nothing of taking the time to learn proper martial arts self-defense. There are many martial artists and military personnel that can disarm a gunman in seconds given the right opportunity. But if you refuse to take the time to learn these life-saving skills and instead opt for the easy and relatively cheap solution. Buy a handgun. God forbid 'muricans would get off their fat asses and do some exercise, right? Do you place such a low value on human life that you bypass all these perfectly viable, safer methods of self-defense and go straight for maximum lethal force? Guns are for two kinds of people, the lazy and those who callously disregard the priceless nature of human life. Be honest with yourself, what would your beloved Jesus Christ think of that? More guns makes everyone less safe overall, same is true of more cars and more fast food restaurants. We have more of all three because they are very profitable industries, and in capitalism profit always finds a way to be made, just as information finds a way to be free. |

Edit: nevermind, I misread the title. Yes I will "buy" bitcoin, I'm always divesting fiat scrip. I loathe violence and don't want to support blood money.
Ethics can be so inconvenient.

Greece today is a direct view of the ongoing divorce between capitalism and democracy. All things considered I would have expected much more violence.
Or maybe Greece is just the tip of a monster iceberg globally. Is anyone still steering this ship? Methinks not.

this cost is far less than the cost we maintain the bank system in the real world
We should try to avoid language that falsely implies the internet is any less "real" than physical space. |

Wouldn't it be better if just made 1,000,000 Block Erupters and a special hash algorithm that only those limited number of hardware devices could do. Distribute those 1M devices and let that be the entire hash pool.
hashing power went way out of control, now the bitcoin community is sending over $10 dollars/day (in fiat no less) to power companies all over the world. That money doesn't come from nowhere - it is real money lost by the community. We've got to find an end to wasteful hashing.
The only thing that's an extreme waste of electricity is the computer you're using to write this garbage. Bitcoin is not a waste of energy. Please read the entire Myths Wiki before posting another thread: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/MythsWelcome to the bitcointalk forums. |

actually you have no bitcoin in your computer,you only have the key of some bitcoins in a blockchain address
Bingo. You're storing keys which allow control over some amount of btc. Ownership does not apply on the blockchain. |

It's a grand sentiment to place all people on equal footing. I totally agree that is where we should start. But the guy in the quote above fails to recognize that in history there has never been a time free of criminals. Here you reveal the limits of your historical vision. Of course there was a time before criminals, there was a time before history, and we call it pre-history. 500,000 years of simple existence in harmony with nature. Just as there was a time before criminals, capitalism, and inequality, there will be a time after these things as well. We are a species in our social infancy, having just awoken from the long sleep of pre-reasoned society. Real criminals step outside of society for their own gain at our expense. They steal what you worked for and take what they want. I find it offensive that you lump all criminals together as a malignant monolith. I'd argue that many criminals are just trying to survive the best/only way they know how, with no intention of hurting anyone. It would be just as unfair for me to lump all capitalists together as sociopathic parasites, when in reality it's only the vast majority of highly "successful" capitalists that are sociopathic parasites. It's revealing that you believe your society is so wholesome that only evil or insane people would choose to step outside of it. You must be very privileged indeed, to think that is reality. |

Never accept paypal for bitcoin.
Not from your parents, wife, dog or imaginary friend.
QFT. Ethically speaking you shouldn't accept any fiat for bitcoin. Why further legitimize bloodmoney? |

Sometimes being humane means putting the lives of good people over the life of a criminal. "Your Honor, years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free." -E. V. Debs, Statement to the Court, September 18, 1918 |
