Why they always ban good people and not the criminals?

I actually want to see scenario when we go really low and mining becomes really unprofitable. That will be true test of bitcoin imho.

House of Commons debating money creation right now!

Not yet, there's no rush with the fact it looks like the bear market is still in tact. Save your fiat to defend the bottom.

Bill Gates and Warren Buffet were the two richest men in America last time I looked, and they're not street-fighters.

Just like bitcoin at the beginning I like your open minded approach

What misunderstanding is that?That you can't torture someone to reveal their private key. The're no misunderstanding here.That statement is just not true.What you should have said that there are ways to make it harder(or even impossible) for some one to gain access to your bitcoin through implement of torture and coercion( which existed for other assets such as cash or gold long before bitcoin's existence).



Perhaps it would be better to construct your statement (or give a thought or two about them ) before typing them.


Good .so you accept that those "anti-torture"security feature aren't unique to bitcoin
 

What case is that?I believe everyone here agree that people who swindle others for self gain are scumbags.Hell. we'll applaud when these bastards got their just desserts.
Stating the truth doesn't mean I condone their act.Calling them scumbags  should tip you of to this .Are you implying that I should mince my words when addressing those dregs?


During the course of our interaction I've refuted your half baked ideas that:

1)Gold is easier  to destroy than bitcoin

2)bitcoin is immune to torture.

3)You need to be honest/emphatic to earn bitcoin.


You seems to have trouble understanding my arguments.I suggest rereading them before spewing any other poorly structured counterpoint(or inserting derail attempts)and rethink/recheck your statements before posting them, lest you want to spread misinformation(I'm sure you don't meant to) about bitcoin.

Probably not. Ripple is reaching a huge momentum. Enter now before it doubles over night. +40% this week and this is only the beginning.

Your rub fail.This is why combining  two completely incongruous  argument chains  is considered bad form of debating .


1)Bitcoin is as immune to torture as  any other forms of value storing method.It doesn't matter if it's vault key, stronghold access, bank pin number of bitcoin private.Your method of stopping them from gaining access to your wealth is also applicable to my other examples.There is nothing unique to bitcoin in this regard.Protecting your asset at the cost life isn't a new concept.


2)You not need to honest or emphatic to earn bitcoin. Scumbags will be scumbags.They'll migrate wherever there's gain to be made.The thing that will protect your bitcoin is the exact same thing that protects your other assets:due diligence.After all fences do pre-date bitcoin.

Oh, I forgot we already had that conversation.

Ironically,some drug cartel do indeed gave candies to children in their area of power on some occasions.They use the carrot and stick method to maintain control, everybody knows that.Or  do you mean how they pay for it?By any means available to them :money, goods, favours,coercion etc .They would readily use bitcoin like any other asset that they have access to .

I'm surprised and disappointed that so many techno-commies are involved with Bitcoin, to the point at which they can see problems that are an obvious result of a a lack of a price discovery mechanism and conclude that Bitcoin needs more central planning rather than more price discovery.

Are we still talking about how bitcoin isn't really more immune to torture and coercion than other value retainers or are you replying to my rebuttal of the the " could only be earned through honesty and empathy" thing.

XRP +30% in one week.  0.0045 to 0.006 . Heading to 1cents. Get onboard or watch train pass.
