How is that already considered a discrimination? And where is the discrimination in there? In the can of diet coke? There are a lot of issues towards hate and racism that should be focused and be on the headlines rather than a silly coke issue. How about the human trafficking scene? There are loads of issues, more important than this can of diet coke issue.

Bigfoot is still a mystery, so is the person behind Satoshi. It's true that this planet is over 4.5 billion years of age, but though this planet existed in that vast expanse of time, there are still places that are left hidden towards humanity. Heck, there are still group of people in which the modern people haven't contacted yet, and those are the Sentinelese People.

The media and a group of people really think that a flight attendant wanting to open a diet coke for a Muslim woman is already a hate crime? How about different human rights violation made towards Muslim girls? Isn't that more deserving to be on the front page rather than some diet coke incident? What has this world become nowadays?

This has been concerning me for sometime now because I am a citizen of the Philippines, a tiny little country completely unarmed with the latest technologies of war. We haven't got any capabilities to combat China in case a war breaks. An hour or so of simultaneous attacks from different sides in our country would probably cripple us easily. These territories that we are fighting to have are originally included on the exclusive economic zone of our country that was signed during the UNCLOS and was enforced on 1994. The treaty indicated that a state could harness every resources--be it marine or land--and has a full sovereign rights over a territory that is within 200 nautical miles within the baseline of its coast. Basically, we are fighting for our rights here, not just the underlying gas and oil fields that could be present. However, small countries like ours doesn't have the means to fight for it. We want diplomatic actions, not aggressive actions. Even if the US enters the scene, we are fucked up anyways, as it will only result to a war we never intended to have. We will lose control over the territories plus we might be trapped in a war that we never wanted to have in the first place.

What are your thoughts on the ongoing territorial dispute in SEA?

Even the US government can do nothing about it. Once the two cities fall, the takeover of the ISIS would soon be easier, spreading chaos into its neighboring countries. Heck, even Al Qaeda once had different branches and controls all over the world, and what do we know what's really happening behind the scenes? These terrorist groups could have merged into one group without us, nor the top intelligence agencies knowing. I hope those taxes that we pay are really wisely spent on things that will defend us, not on things that would potentially destroy us in the end.

The territorial disputes in Southeast Asia has been going on for decades, and until recently, most of the claiming actions are made aggressively by the Chinese government. These territories are believed to have some underlying gas and/or oil fields beneath them. The Chinese government began building artificial islands near these islands however, as the Chinese expands its control over the disputed territories, more and more countries appeal against this takeover by the Chinese, one of them being the United States. As we all know it, China is already an economic superpower, and in case an aggressive action was taken by the US, the government of China wouldn't hesitate to engage a war against the US. The question is, can the United States manage to protect its allies' interest over SEA or will they just let the Chinese occupation pass to avoid another war?

EDIT: fixed spelling errors.

The US, actively fighting acts of terrorism and funding terrorist at the same time. Seems legit. If crushing terrorism is their target, then they must not fund terrorist and stop supplying weapons of war to them. If this continues to happen, then the freedom fighters would be the ultimate enemy in the end. The terrorist wouldn't gain that much power if they aren't provided the weapons they "need" to continue their acts of terrorism. But oh well, capitalism it is.

A high rate of course. A good referral service, some kind of games before you earn the bitcoins so as to differentiate this faucet from the stereotypical faucets and a fast claim time. That's all I could think of.

The question is, how did the ISIS even acquired them? Also, if situations like this continues to happen, the picture would be like this: Iraq funds ISIS' weapons and armored vehicles and the US is supplying them those gears of war. US is making money and at the same time giving the enemy weapons to fight them. This has to stop.

You must have had a boring life with you then if you did that thing. 12 hours is doable and possible, but that wouldn't take the cut if you might ask me. You would only strain your eyes and fingers in clicking those captchas. Having a real job is easier compared to clicking those captchas for 12 hours. Even if you take breaks, it would still stress you out. Having a real job, on the other hand, would help you earn a more decent amount compared to faucets.

Easy: they want more viewers for more $$$.

But seriously, I believe that aliens and Bigfoot exists; it's just that we can't find a solid evidence to prove their existence. The word of the mouth couldn't be trusted nowadays, we need unedited video footage and photographs. Though we can't find evidence for their existence, that doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't existing, unless we find a solid evidence of they're non-existence.

Remember this quote from Carl Sagan:

Probably holding I guess? I hate to say this but those who bought during those stages are blinded by profits. Anyone who has some simple knowledge about how trading works could probably smell that this isn't a natural move by the market. I wasn't aware about bitcoin back in 2013 but looking back at the chart, If I knew bitcoins back then, I would probably not risk any of my money to buy during those stage.

What exchange would be the next mover to the $1000 range? I believe that without artificially pumping the price, we may never see $1000 levels again for such a long time.

Why not wait for the outcome of this transition (if ever there will be one) first before buying a new storage? Who knows while waiting for what would really happen in this fork, you are actually saving a couple of $$$ for a new drive. Remember, prices of gadgets and storage devices tend to decrease over a period of time as new generation of devices and gadgets appear in the market.

The point that I commented on is about the encouragement of whitelisting for newbies, not the buying of accounts. Buying accounts could probably help you get into this forum with a high rank, but also, in the unofficial list of rules in this forum, buying accounts is not encouraged.

Just read my reply again and I'm pretty sure I haven't stated anything about two different block chains. Seems like you didn't understand my reply. What I'm saying is, when the Bitcoin-XT fork becomes the widely-used version of bitcoin in the whole network, the coins that are in the Bitcoin-Core client couldn't be spend and will be invalid for transactions whereas the Bitcoin-XT coins would be the coins that could be spent and are valid for transactions. Also, reading from different threads, you could still import the privkeys from Bitcoin-Core to Bitcoin-XT and have the same amount of bitcoins. That is what I learned in reading some threads about Bitcoin-XT.

That is still ban evasion. Evading a ban is not encouraged in this forum. Even if you logged into a different IP and with a different account, the mods would probably notice the pattern of how you post and compare it with some previously banned accounts, which would later result to another ban with the different account that you've made. The best thing to avoid being banned is through posting useful posts in discussions and try not to spam. As for the OP's case, numerous and redundant promotion for his bot was the main reason that I see which earned his account a ban.

Idk if whitelisting should be promoted because it would be another system that future scammers would do. They could easily request a whitelist and after that, they could go on to scamming spree. If a user really wants to be part of this forum, he/she must go all through the processes without asking for some privileges that others didn't receive.

Hmm reading a few pages of your posts, it seems like you crossed the border that helped you in receiving a ban. Some of the previous posts you've made are of low-quality and your redundant promotion of your bot. Hopefully after your ban ended, you'll see to increase the quality of your posts and reduce the promotion of your bot.

As I understand it, you need to download the new client for bitcoin-xt. Still it wouldn't affect your coins that much, it will still be working in one chain. Sooner or later when bitcoin-xt was the most used fork in the block chain, your coins in the bitcoin-xt client would be the valid coins you can use for spending and the older bitcoin core coins would be pretty much useless as it will not be recorded on the chain whether it was spent or not, mainly because the chain that we are following would be bitcoin-xt and not the bitcoin core. (Did I get it right? Correct me if I get some points wrong.)

Yes I got it. The one who has the most support from the network will get the upper hand and will be the new fork and chain that we will gonna be in. Anyway, how about the people with only lightweight wallets? How are they gonna be affected by the transition in case it happens?
