People often joke that "America has the worst form of government on the planet except for all the others." It ain't perfect.
And it certainly isn't better than all the others. It has strengths and weaknesses in comparison to other large nation-states, and those are a matter of taste. There are small nation-states which have systems which are vastly preferable to the U.S. system, in my opinion, but they are generally special cases. Iceland is not too bad. Norway is fairly tolerable. I could almost stand Scotland. Singapore is rather decent. Chile, quite nice. Conceivably Paraguay. But then I've not lived there long enough to see the worst aspects, to judge how deeply they disturb me. We should get together and buy an island with bitcoins, call it Satoshi Island and have the currency as BTC of course, use the bitcoin protocol to vote trade etc.. and live happily ever after.

Looking at the 4 hour charts, it looks like we are entering a recovery phase. Then again, what do I know!

Some people in bitcoin want their cake and want to eat it. Especially the newcomers. Bitcoin is not about security it's about freedom and that's what I love about it.

BLinked and missed it...
552 wall: eaten or pulled?
eaten ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FovtIhrV.png&t=663&c=4dYNCBgm4CZniQ) "eaten." "devoured" is probably more accurate. "Cannibalized" is even more accurate. Its the same person from before. They are building imaginary walls, then buying them up and setting lower ones. All in hopes of causing a panic and getting cheap coins! Wonder who!?

Id say the top 3 exchanges are bitfinex, stamp and btc-e! Do you guys have any info on these exchanges? Owners? physical whereabouts? History?
|
|
|
I do not think they will resume anytime soon!
Why? I feel there are deeper issues than what they are revealing since they always seem to have an excuse to prolong the process of fixing the problem. And the fact that they are putting blame on others shows that they are trying to hide the obvious by trying to focus the attention elsewhere. Quoting myself

i voted yes, but one thing does not fit:
mk owns tons of btc already. when you own $ 50 -100 million (or more) legally, why would you risk jail for more ?
greed? $ 100 mio is unimaginable. itīs abstract. greed, i think does not go beyond the abstract. he has family, it makes no sense to risk all that. maybe his coins were stolen & he just stole some back ... Only some..

Its fud according to friends in Vietnam. People love spreading the FUD.

Turkish CNBC says bitcoin is finished.

It would be nice to see the community rally behind bitcoin and show the world that allowing a "bank" to fail is a good thing. I don't care if I'm on the wrong side of the price today, this week, this month..... I'm buying today.
I am hodling! And buying more

Unlike in Western societies, where a public apology is taken as an admission of guilt ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FmFG9A14.gif&t=663&c=hIB3V4YnbbnRVA) I'll take that as a admission of guilt, no you ? He reminds me of a scene in delirious when eddie murphy says "Now I'm gonna bend over. And when I do, start fuckin'! Here I go!" http://youtu.be/egoDQv43hAw?t=2m31s

He deserves whatever is waiting for him around the corner of some dark alleyway.
What a terrible blow for bitcoin.
Or Sunny beach!
