Once again, you are all ignoring the best solution for this. We should make all sorts of drugs legal. That will reduce the crime rate and gradually the drug consumption rates will also come down. Countries such as Uruguay and Portugal have legalized drugs, and they have witnessed sharp drop in deaths due to drug overdose.
I'm not ignoring that at all, and I agree that drugs should be made legal.  It's an unholy shitfuck of a mess that criminalization has created, and any "war" on drugs is a joke.  But for those who get addicted--and there are going to always be plenty of them, legalization isn't exactly helping them nor is legalization a cure.  And I do have sympathy for addicts, with limits.  Some people are born predisposed to addiction, some are not.

I always liked DOGE.  I'm not into dark markets and the DOGE community is kinda goofy and cool.  But apparently the coin is very easily pumped and dumped as evidenced by yesterday's action, and that scares me a little.  Litecoin is probably just as good though, and I've used it as well.

Ok thank you i just Don't want people thinking im a scammer.
Most likely you're not, but I told you, Vod and others don't fuck around when it comes to loan requests because there are so many people who try to scam here.  Visit the front page of the lending section and read what's stickied.  There's stuff about collateral and so forth.  The lender has to be able to sell the collateral easily in case of a default, and domains just aren't easily sold.  Good luck.

So for this politics topic I wanted to talk specifically about the harmful effects of illegal drugs and how the forum's users' cities' drug problem are. I will start off by saying that I have cerebral palsy and some mental health issues and to any casual observer, I may be a user of crack cocaine. This is not the case however; I have schizo-effective disorder. I do embarrass myself in public from time to time but I am doing my best.

Is there a rampant drug use problem in your city? In Vancouver, it seems everyone is on something. Soiled cloths, staggering. People love their drugs. To top it all off the drunks assault the alleged drug addicts. (I got assaulted by some douche keeping his neighborhood safe. Ignorance is bliss, ignorance is bliss.

How's the drug problem in your city?
Very bad.  I work in a drug treatment center, and I've seen at least 6 of our clients die in the past year from overdoses, and we even had a nonfatal overdose right in our facility.  Luckily we keep a Narcan kit in our med room.  The word on the street is that the heroin is being cut with stuff like Fentanyl and some weird veterinary drugs like clembuterol, which I'm not sure has any sort of advantage over inert agents.  I give education groups about the risks of this stuff, but you can't scare addicts into staying clean.  If only we could.

So yeah, it's bad in my town.

The sum total of suffering in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. Cry
I agree but fortunately we're only exposed to a little of it at a time.  For the most part.  And I try to bring a little bit of hope to our patients and show them that a good life exists beyond the drugs, but that it takes time to get there.  The worst is dealing with their families, who are usually scared and hurting.

Also, heroin has been in our local newspaper so frequently in the past 2 years it's unbelievable.

Try wesellcrypto.com?  Yes their fees are high, but you'll get your bitcoin right away and it's very easy to use.  And I think there are at least a couple of members who post offers in the currency exchange section who do PP--->btc.  Otherwise you're going to have a very hard time getting a deal done because as everyone else has mentioned, PP is reversible even if sent as a gift.  And you're not a trusted member around these parts.
16187  Economy / Speculation / Re: Aren't we in a state of denial? on: January 28, 2016, 11:41:53 PM
I'm not sure any of that applies to bitcoin--those market cycles apply to business, i.e., stocks.  Take a look at precious metals.  Gold and silver don't follow anything that resembles that, or if they do the cycle is extremely long.  And if bitcoin does obey market cycles then I'm totally confused as to where we're at.  Seems like bitcoin just cycles up and down, sometimes very quickly.
16188  Economy / Lending / Re: 2.5 btc / collateral account on: January 28, 2016, 11:38:15 PM
Yeah, this is otherwise known as "account sale disguised as a loan".  How stupid do you think people are around here?  You ain't gonna get this "loan", bud.
16189  Economy / Lending / Re: .4 btc loan for bills with collateral 25% intrest on: January 28, 2016, 11:36:23 PM
I went to the places where people where offering a loan service and if one of them accepted then i was going to delete the rest and what do you mean unsecured loan.

unsecured means no collateral. Anyway, if you need help with bills get your friends or family to help you. Surely they will understand...
This right here.  Folks on bitcointalk don't part with their bitcoin readily, and in the lending section you have to be either very trusted (you're not, you're brand new and just asking for loans) or have valid collateral (which you don't).  And that's why Vod sprayed the red on you.  A bit harsh, but you realize now people don't fuck around here.
16190  Economy / Lending / Re: .02 btc on: January 28, 2016, 08:10:59 PM
Loan amount: 0.02
BTC add: 1GRuDrY6fM9nC9B8Kf7SP8oed7QrmGxwHj
Collateral(optional): My personal Gmail account (verify before & everything)
Repayment amount: 0.3?
Repayment date: this coming Wednesday
Reason is for goods shipping.

Please don't red card me if I'm out of line asking this. Sorry if I am. The Gmail you can verify it's valid colleratel.  Well used account.
Again please don't red me. It's a shot in the dark here. Fudge, I'll even give you my personal number to get ahold of me etc.
Thanks either way

I know this a duplicate of a post on another person's topic. Just hoping to get it shipped tonight (he's offline, sleeping I'd gues)  . & with the collateral. You can look to verify it's good colloteral before anything obviously. It's tied to so many of my accounts (fb, twitter,  etc) and personal life.
Please only trusted members..
Repayment 0.3?  Hopefully that's a typo but in any case you don't have valid collateral so it's not likely anyone is going to lend you anything.   
16191  Other / Meta / Re: Signature campaign on the new forum? on: January 28, 2016, 07:41:04 PM
I hope that theymos will remove or limit the signature space for a few months, just a little test to see how things will change (less spam, more constructive contents).

Really doubt that would happen, but it would be nice to see. I get paid a flat rate regardless of posts and wish all campaigns were like that. I would be good with no more campaigns around here. It is a shame so many abuse them because they are a good idea and are effective for advertisers. I guess the issue is to some people it is a lot of money so they abuse it to get paid.


Well, you see, the signature campaigns are not really the problem. People abusing them create the problems and I always said that stricter rules should be applied to signature campaign participants. The spam would eventually be lower if every signature spammer gets banned, unfortunately right now, that's not the case. You can find blatantly obvious spammers in the off-topic section or games and rounds.
I rarely visit those sections anyway, so I really don't care whether people spam over there.  It's the interesting topics that relate to bitcoin that I can't stand people shitposting in.  Fortunately the mods here do a decent job of deleting posts that are crap--and I've had a few of mine deleted, and I'm cool with that. 

A few months ago I probably would have been against having signatures, but I bit the bullet and joined one and it's fun to earn bitcoin by posting.  I was always fascinated by the concept as I'd never seen something like it in other forums, but I saw all the spammers and hated it for a long time. 
16192  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: PONZI150 on: January 28, 2016, 07:27:48 PM
You guys are like total noobs.  This ponzi guy is not even a full member yet, and most folks here know not to deal with such clowns.   Especially clowns that have fucking PONZI in their user names.

I don't know, seems so easy to scam around here is actually making me think about it. People send fucking 300 euros to some newb?? Wtf? I don't really get it, after all the scams that happened here you would think people have learned but no.
Bitcointalk:  Where lack of integrity meets opportunity.

Lol.  Yeah sure, it's an easy way to make money if you have no morals and don't care about fleecing newbies. 
16193  Economy / Lending / Re: Loan needed 0.04 BTC [ collateral ] on: January 28, 2016, 06:11:00 AM
I have to side with the noob on this and Klyemax knows they're used as collateral but they're usually shitty collateral.   And klyemax busting the noob's ass about increasing his post count whilst shamelessly promoting his porn avatar.  Fucking priceless.

16195  Economy / Lending / Re: Altcoin4life - HACKED ACCOUNT - Collateral 4 Murderouskirk - Swingdev - ADVICE? on: January 28, 2016, 05:48:18 AM
The account is now the property of Altcoin4life and it is justified.
Nope, if something is stolen and then sold off (or in this case given away/taken collateral), it stays property of the original owner, as the thief didn't have the right to give it away in any case.
Altcoin4life isn't the rightful owner, SwingDev proved to be.
I agree with this x1000.  I do hope swingdev gets his stolen account back with no hassle.   It is rightfully his.
16196  Economy / Exchanges / Re: what exchanges can you use in florida? on: January 28, 2016, 05:38:22 AM
It might help if you mentioned what you want to do, like just buying btc, trading altcoins etc.  Don't know what's in Florida (other than Cryptsy) but Coinbase, Yobit, and Circle I've used and they all serve their purpose.
16197  Other / Meta / Re: Banned? on: January 28, 2016, 05:34:09 AM
Putting them on the same page wouldn't be fair IMO.The other one was a hero & very close to legendary,he might be deserving a perma.

His life will move on and he'll learn a lesson.
Perma is not a lesson its obliteration.
Sure it is.  He'll know not to pull that bs on other forums.  And getting banned from any forum isn't anywhere close to being the end of the world.  I say don't be soft on this stuff.  We can agree to disagree though and ultimately my opinion doesn't matter.
16198  Other / Meta / Re: Banned? on: January 28, 2016, 05:06:15 AM
I think there should be some mercy for complete newbies as he clearly admits that he bought it.
I disagree.  He bought an account to make money here and he copy-pasted other people's words.  From looking at his posts, they're basically shitty and I don't think it's a great loss (that's being overly generous) for him to be permabanned. 

His life will move on and he'll learn a lesson.
16199  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ring Confidential Transactions or Soda Vending Machine? on: January 28, 2016, 05:00:58 AM
Soft drinks regardless of whether they are sweetened with sugar or artificial sweeteners cause all sorts of health problems including but not limited to obesity, diabetics, heart problems, cancers etc.  

I voted for Ring Confidential Transactions. The health impact of this is to stimulate the brain while learning how they work, with all sorts of beneficial health results.
I would agree with the problems you mentioned about sugared soft drinks but I don't believe the evidence for what you claimed about artificially-sweetened soft drinks.  I think those are way better than the sugared drinks and I think the cancer claims are pretty much hooey.

Edit:  What is this thread really about?
16200  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: What are the benefits of a Xapo Wallet? on: January 28, 2016, 04:57:21 AM
In my opinion, there are absolutely no advantages to having a Xapo wallet.  In fact I'd be willing to bet that folks who know more about bitcoin than I do would say that a Xapo wallet only has disadvantages.  If I'm not mistaken you don't control your private keys, but I could be wrong about that.  I really don't trust any online wallet anyhow--but I do have a Xapo for the faucets that deposit instantly to it.  But that's it.  I keep no bitcoin in my Xapo wallet.
