LOL. Bitcoin is not created by the miners. If you consider Bitcoin (The network and the currency) as a product, then it was created right when Satoshi wrote down those line of codes and the whitepaper.
It has been circulating as an idea and as undeniable proof of transaction and work for a decade now. Those calling it a ponzi scheme are typically bitter people who think they did not deserve to be left behind by the 2009-2016 train. Yet, that is the reality for a lot of your kind. Trying to spread FUD won't change your situation.

Try surrendering to the Honey badger and you may feel all that hate evaporating..LOL!

When people got interested in fitness, some of the best earning opportunities cropped up in running gyms/ fitness centers. In terms of content production, instagram influencers peddling fitness also earned a lot. When the COVID-19 susides and if it actually turns out that the western world had it harder because of immunity issues, then there will be a lot of demand for "immunity building habits."

Also, the "back to nature" movement may gain traction. People with diverse knowledge and experience on these issues will be much sought after in such a future. If they can document and show results, it will be as good a way as any to get rich.

What exactly is the smerit decay rate or cutoff period after you have earned them?

We always assume that the markets will always recover. During the last 2 crashes, the world has simultaneously been going through an era of expansion fuelled by consumption and technology.
In the 90s it was such grass-root trends like petroleum, automotive, real estate that fed the subsequent recoveries and booms. People bought and worked and partied as our work culture and consumption patterns changed signficantly.

The next recovery and booms were triggered by the services sectors with companies like Google, Apple, Amazon opening up more avenues of consumption. People watched, subscribed and learnt to work their asses off while always remaining connected and driven by success and productivity mantras.

I feel like these consumption patters are not sustainable. The new generation isn't willing to spend itself milling away while consuming without any thought of consequences. With the kind of time-off that the west is going to get from the lockdowns, i wonder how the consumption patterns would change. Would people still care about the rat race and the newest I-phone once they realize how fickle it all is?

Yeah, i was a little clumsy the first time. Hope i saved you some work there..lol..Thanks for doing this..

If only 500,000 people remain, are we sure that all those 6.95 billion bodies would have been taken care of? I think the first task would be to actually BURN all the cities/ population centers with all those bodies so that they don't rot and spread more mutations.

I'd then like to bring together a group with enough brain, brawn and chores capability. Next thing I'll need in an apocalypse are obviously enough trucks and rides and a fuel tanker. A few armored vehicles from the nearby millitary centers would be good to have along with arms and ammunition.

Setting up a farm and assigning tasks to everyone would be next. People would pretty much go mad in the absence of something to put their minds to. I am still not sure though that earth will be able to take all those rotting bodies all at once or the atmosphere will remain survivable after we put my "Burn the cities" plan into action.


First of all, if she was a one-sided love interest, then this was not a "relationship" that you can claim to have broken. You just took yourself away from something that never was there. If she was a best friend but having sex with random guys, well, to every young man out there, if she calls you a best friend but doesn't fancy you, she is just using you. No women will ever deny having the hots for someone she finds capable enough. Please note that her not finding you capable doesn't mean you are not. Its just that you are not his type but she likes keeping dogs. Its a sort of self-gratification that such women derive from being close to men they basically consider worthless, probably telling themselves that they are doing it as a favor/ philanthropy.

This "I am worried about her" is the worst thing a man can do to himself after having called a bitchy woman "best friend". Basically, you are unable to let go off the fact that she used you and will continue using you if you hold onto this "worry". You know she enjoys the backup protection where she won't even have to give sex to you for the manly tools you bring to the table.
You also seem to be low on self-preservation. I bet you don't get aggressive easily and probably think of others before yourself. Being a decent human being doesn't mean you leave yourself out for the crows.


These are the Man tools you brought to the table. She must have identified early on that she could emotionally manipulate you without having you ride her ass in return. Any women who gets something from a man without giving anything in return (not just sex but also respect and recognition), will in 100% of the cases stop feeling the hots for you. That is because you gave her everything too easily and never made her earn it. She doesn't respect you as a mean so naturally she doesn't find you "attractive as a man". Please don't fall for the teary-eyed "but you are my best friend". A male best friend deserves manly respect.

You should stop deriving self-worth from girls finding you attractive. Women find power and money attractive. And of course a good dick. The day you stop wallowing in self-pity and recognize your own self-worth as an man inside your head, and stop letting "women" fuck with your self-worth, you will see that bitches line up.

Its some very basic steps:
1. Always wear well-fitting smart clothes and good shoes
2. Keep your hair and beard trimmed.
3. Keep your skin clean. Spend on the occasional cleanup.
4. Workout enough to show arms.
5. Earn money.
6. Wear a signature cologne.

Trust me, Good, kind, real feminine woman will line up. Not the kind of life-sucking bitches that tell you they find you "unattractive". These bitches hate the kind of disciplined, self-preserving man that does the above things. That is because they hate the accompanying responsibility and devotion that comes with it. That is why they leech off of men like you who will take a woman's word for being "unattractive".

Hello GOLD_official. I saw the website and the accompanying links at Bullionstar. The idea behind GOLD looks simple and interesting. Let me know if i satisfy your requirements for the Signature campaign. Thanks.

These sellers are generally on the bigger exchanges like Bitfinex. In countries like Bangladesh and India, most people see this as a buy opportunity. The exchanges are also mostly p2p matching the sellers to buyers. The prices are generally at a premium of 10-15% compared to the price at CMC or any of the major exchanges.

I don't think there is any major buy pressure despite this. The number of people with spare to invest are limited to students/ young workers. The bigger fish, those with established businesses etc are still not enamored enough to jump onto the bandwagon during these dips. Those people are still wary of the 2018-19 crashes.

Power plant are in fact uniquely suitable for such a setup. A lot of considerations like draft, cable routing, efficient circuit breakers etc. is taken care of by the already available infrastructure. The people working there also have perfect knowledge of maintaining electrical as well as communication networks in their most efficient state.
This is one of the reasons why Chinese miners were so easily finding willing partnership with Hydel power generation utilities.

One thing that does come up is that developed countries in the West will find it harder to compete in terms of mining because of the associated manpower costs. For example, the people working at this NY mine would definitely be receiving some sorts of bonuses/ payment for rendering the services to the farm. In a place like China/ India, you can just teach a very semi-skilled worker about the right knobs and the right parameters to watch, pay him something like 10 USD a day and get the same results post the initial setup.

Nobody will be irritated. The worst that can happen is that you will end up getting some merits if the questions you ask warrant a good discussion and response.. Seeing that Heisenberg is our in-house, sortta active expert on technical aspects too, you can ask questions directly on this thread itself.

For anyone willing to dip into the books and resources he mentioned, the forum offers an awesome journey.

Bitmover my friend, Why haven't you yet joined the Xether bounty campaign? Or at least give your friend merit to rank him up..LOL..

Just came here from your application on iasenko's thread about "Signatures for rent". Saw this funny suggestion and couldn't resist. Also, a much needed bump i guess.

That is pretty innovative of him. I haven't seen the questions so hopefully there are questions related to the project too. He must be randomizing the questions too so that people don't just copy-paste the answers. I think the people who spam these campaigns usually do it in close coordination with other spammers so such randomization or periodically updating the questions would help.

All in all, the julerz12 deserves all the appreciation for such an initiative.

Missed the bottom as always with not having last minute balances. By the time, the fiat balance appears in the account, the price movement generally reverses.
It has been a bad few months for me as i actually started investing. People keep telling me that you cannot afford not to save/ invest. I had the the over-optimistic "Money will come if you keep working" thought process. Seeing that it is not really working that way i decided to go invest. Invest i did in the last 2 months or so and the stock markets crashed like never before. The price didn't fell because of COVID. It fell because I PUT MONEY IN.
Sorry fellas. Will let you know when i decide to buy again so you can sell high.

I myself agree with all of this. (particularly, fool me twice). Yet, if you think you can have a sustainable and stable situation in society by neglecting/ disparaging/ insulting the other side on emotive issues then you are just playing their game. The ring master gleefully watch because it gives credence to their theories of "Insult to majority's pride" by "Leftist intellectuals". You may not be getting this point, or maybe have outgrown it (as you said above), a balance of conservative values and liberal exploration needs to go hand in hand.

Putting words into my mouth with the argument on "broken moral compass" is typical of the self-righteous grandstanding on display by left-liberals everywhere. (which you may or may not identify as). You only play by the rules of the bigots if you use the same attitude of publicly disparaging things like Saffron/ Cow-worship etc etc. It doesn't serve the purpose you think it serves.(Shaming these people into thinking that the values they hold are ridiculous).

We all have a spectrum of thoughts and can agree/ disagree on a lot of things despite our political/ economic leanings. Yet, use of such language on social media only strengthens the agenda of those who sow divisiveness.

You really didn't need to do all this economic analysis. (A lot of which is your opinion and not facts) as I agreed at the outset that they have made a blunder out of an important mandate. Linking demonetisation with everything from NPA's to Real-estate failure to Rupee devaluation is pretty much conjecture. There is a history of bad corporate governance at banks where NPA's have widened. Many will say that real estate collapsed after demonetization because you can no longer transact using unaccounted cash. So that money is not moving anymore. Then there is the issue of willful evasion by several MSME's which feeds into the cycle of corruption in Babudom at every level. What you see as throttling of "animal spirit" by a "petty tea seller", many see as the bitter cleansing of an entrenched system of elite babus, politicians and businesses feeding each other.

These "Reforms" were not ill-conceived per se but it is now clear that they have only replaced a certain set of elites from another one of their own liking. This is the moment of truth for opposition to come clean on corruption and actually have a plan and conviction for equitable welfare. That is why someone like Kejriwal becomes all the more important. I have lost all hope from the leftists/ dynasty-led centrists who only feed this monster of partisanship with their attempts at satiric/ insulting take-downs of conservatives and "majority vs minority" narrative.

Received! Thanks and wish you all the best..

One thing is sure that there is no endgame for Bitcoin. And if there is, then we are The Avengers. Everyone thinks the Governments are inevitable, like Thanos but we have The Hulk..

Bitcoin's increasing usage and adoption through regulation has already led it to giving shape to a knowledge based economy in developed countries and amongst the more tech savvy users. I think this will continue as it is impossible to stop the idea of every person being his own bank.

Akram have you ever witnessed an election using EVM's during the polling stage and the counting stage. Especially after the introduction of VVPATs? People who claim that EVMs can be tampered are simply misinformed and are underestimating the honesty of the millions of general Indians of all races, religions and classes that oversee the election process. They also over-estimate the ruling govts ability to somehow rig the counting results.

If rigging really can happen, then it can happen only at the final publishing stage. Though, even that process is pretty much instant and verifiable/ transparent to all stakeholders. By harping on EVM's to target BJP's politics, the opposition is simply shirking the responsibility for being a shitty opposition. The problem in our country today is not EVM's, but the fact that the oldest party in India is being run by an imbecile fool who has the leadership skills of a 12 year old. And i swear i have seen 12 year olds with better presence of mind and leadership abilities.

That fucking idiot is hoisted on a party of congressmen supported by this sycophantic family structure. What we need is a solid opposition. The problem is nobody really seems to have any interest or the conviction of ethics behind their actions. If you are a leftist/ minority/ anti-saffron (by habit), then stop targeting BJP and set your own house straight. Tell your fucking leaders to actually lead and remove that moron Rahul Gandhi. The party of giants like Lajpat Rai, Nehru, Indira Gandhi (despite all the damage she did) is being run by this fucker who lives only for his regular timeouts at foreign locales. And no, leaders like Kanhaiya and Khalid will not cut it because they simply don't have an inclusive agenda and are too deeply affected by their victim mentalities to actually do anything. All they can do is rouse a crowd to abuse BJP/ Modi and question the integrity of our society and country.

Know this, Abusing Modi, Blaming EVM's, Calling righists Gaumutra drinkers on twitter, doling out sophisticated English satire WILL NOT dent the BJP's politics. We need leaders who have the conviction of their ethics.

80 Trillion WON would be 6.72 Billion USD on today's rate of 1 USD = 1190 WON, Not 959 trillion. How could that even be a typo..lol..

Supreme Court of India quashed the directive from central bank which had banned banks from providing fiat liquidity to business entities dealing in crypto. This led to flow being limited to p2p buying and selling. This says nothing about the legality though or what may happen in the future. The legislation from South Korea is a central assembly legislation while the Indian lawmakers were until recently sitting on a bill to ban cryptocurrencies.
Its our hope that after this supreme court decision, these idiots will step back and rethink legislation in line with Korea. Thanks to Korea for leading the way.
