Rassah,
Sounds like you really know your stuff about McDonald's. No doubt with their excellent business model and progressive menu, it shouldn't be an issue for them to change their starting pay to well above minimum wage like In-n-Out. At least we both now know that their menu prices won't undergo a rise in price if ever they had to pay their employees more. Kudos to you for pointing this out and rendering the joint's opinion even more suspect, as he was claiming fast food businesses just wouldn't be able to afford it.
I worked at McDonald's Corp for a while, and had the chance to see visit their central office and see how they operate from the inside. And how the hell do you come to that conclusion after numerous questions from myself and others of "Why should McDonald's deny someone a job if they need it more and are willing to charge less for their labor?" How does In-n-Out determine whom to give a job to? I can't imagine burger flipping has a lot of qualifications. I've been in McDonald's many times - no doubt hundreds and hundreds of times. Same with In-n-Out. Experiencing both gives one both perspective. I have both perspectives. You don't. Hundreds? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Seems like we have a hypocrite over here. Tell me, did you start hating McDonald's burgers the 100th time you went? Or was it the 101st that really pushed you over the edge? Also, who cares if he's eaten there? His argument wasn't for how "good" McDonald's food is if I remember correctly. Even then that's subjective, and he could think In-N-Out tastes bad just to spite you.

Really give this guys some spare BTC he deserves some help for what he did !
I thought he was doing it for the greater good, not money? Besides, what's he going to spend the bitcoins on? Really? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Is he going to withdraw it to his bank account? Is he going to buy something off bitmit? Is he going to get something nice off of SR?

OMG NOOOO I'm not in J603's circle of trust! What ever am I going to do?!? LOL
Alright, I'll follow your example from now on.

I count 9 ads on this thread, since we're able to click the quoted ads.
If we click all of them, we could be millionaires in no time!
Crumbs, I think that you've discovered a real life money tree.

Maybe if you click both you'll get 9 times the bitcoins!

Why I will run their untrusted program in my computer for 24 hours? Only of $1 per day?
Never.
But there are many peoples interested to make $1 per day. Actually everyone will try to increase their earnings by buying more thread and that is the target of this program. They want to sell thread. Who is interested in making $1 a day? That's what, a pack of gum every day?

What is the benefit of bitpay over simply telling the customers to send it to your personal address?
|
|
|
Even if that was legit who would want to wait 3 years for a measly three fold increase. I could just buy three bitcoins myself and wait for them to increase in value on their own, and then there's no risk.

You said "I doubt that many of them worked their way up from the mailroom." Guess what? Most did.
No, I'm going to ask that you back that up with statistics, and I'm certain that you will not be able to without defining "mailroom" to mean something other than the lowest level of responsibility in a given company. http://www.statisticbrain.com/ceo-statistics/74% of chief executive officers have at least a four-year college degree. "Entry level" for college graduates in almost any industry translates to having more responsibility than sorting mail. I suspect most of them started out in lower-to-mid-level management and worked their way up. I have no doubt that a very small number of them did indeed "bootstrap" their way from janitor to the corner office. But it's a very small number. So straight out of college they're hired as an executive? I don't think so. They may not be sorting mail, but I don't see how they could possibly have a higher level job than anyone else in the company. And a janitorial job is a dead-end one. You don't get promoted from janitor to anything else. Plus, what were they doing in college and high school? I'm guessing they had some sort of job. I'm going to define mailroom as the lowest level job that still allows for promotions that could lead to CEO. Because a truck driver or janitor will never become a higher level employee because they aren't proving themselves to the company. Maybe they'll become head truck driver or head janitor, but you can't jump from there to an executive position. In a trucking company, a truck driver could become CEO. What you are looking for (by "mailroom") is the lowest level rung within the core competency of the company's enterprise. Yes, that's what I'm looking for. You worded it better than I did.

The easiest way is to have people use their smartphones and scan a QR code, and then send the payment that way. Of course, you have to either trust that they're actually sending it and let them purchase their good or service instantly, or have them sit around for 30 minutes while the transaction gets confirmations.

Making account is not too hard here. So, why I will buy your accounts ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) You'll buy my accounts? No, he's saying that making accounts here is not too hard so why would he bother buying an account? The answer is for scams, of course.

This one I could somewhat understand, because it's so obvious. But I see you do it on pretty much every single noob loan. Maybe someone did legitimately sign up here only to get a loan. It's not impossible.
But abusing the trust system because of what you think is just ridiculous. And really, all it does is make me (and I'm sure others) not want to trust you. On the contrary, that's exactly what one of the aspects of the Trust system is for: To warn potential counterparts that they may be getting into a deal that's with somebody who isn't exactly above board. In fact even before Trust was implemented I, along with a core group of scam-busters, saved people from getting scammed out of over 220 BTC, last I tallied it. That figure is probably a lot higher than that by now. Granted, I called it wrong on more than a few occasions and may have hurt some feelings, but honestly I don't give a fuck. You've saved people from 220 BTC? Me too, I guess, because I post whether or not I think someone is a scammer too. I probably post in lending the most out of anywhere I post and I've never asked for a loan or offered one. As for the bolded point, cool. Needless to say you will never be in my trust list.

I have direct experience with oxycodone (percs), heroin, acid, shrooms, and ketamine and I can say that ketamine is more similar to an opiate than psychedelic. And someone who "communicat[es] telepathically with different realms" is just high out of their mind. I'm sure that a lot of drugs would do the same thing to them.
Mind you, recreational users probably don't use it as a painkiller, but that's what it is. It's a sedative and a painkiller.
I have a great deal more faith in my experiences of the typical ketamine user than I have of someone trying to convince me of theirs, but we'll leave it at that You don't have to have faith in me. What is ketamine's medicinal purpose? It's a tranquilizer. You cannot argue with that. Do veterinarians give it to horses to make them trip? Or do they do it to immobilize them and stop pain?

Deflation is just as bad as inflation. Stability is what's best. Although this is a fail: One of the strengths of bitcoins, namely that their quantity is limited, is also a weakness. The money supply has to grow more or less in proportion to the underlying economy lest we have deflation and depression. Regulating the money supply is why you need central bankers, feckless though they sometimes are. For that reason bitcoins as currently constituted will never replace government-backed money Money supply does "increase" with the bitcoin economy, as more and more decimals can be used.

Why would McDonald's pay their employees more? If In-N-Out pays their employees more, that's their loss. They're free to waste money. I thought we were talking about good business practices, not charity.

California, mostly.
I don't even know how to answer that. I doubt that many of them worked their way up from the mailroom. Almost all, I assume, held other executive positions prior to being Chief Whatever Officers. Some founded their own businesses. Some are just good at liquidating a business's assets before dumping them and moving on to the next. You probably have a few YSOM dropouts in the mix too. What kind of answer are you looking for?
So you think that most CEOs just became executives out of nowhere? The point Rassah was making is that they worked their way from the bottom, whether it was in the company they're a CEO of or somewhere else. No CEO has became a CEO without any experience. It's not like a new baby is born, and it is christened as the new CEO of a company. Oh right, because "Almost all, I assume, held other executive positions prior to being Chief Whatever Officers" COMPLETELY means they were born CEO out of nowhere. Why do I even bother writing replies? I think I must just be a masochist. You said "I doubt that many of them worked their way up from the mailroom." Guess what? Most did.
