Thank you, InsertCoolUsername!

Agreed to thesouljourner... despite anybody's views the way to stabilise, expand and promote bitcoin is to be as open and accepting as possible!

It's valid, but what I am telling you is that palliative care is fraught with these sorts of decisions no matter how healthcare is paid for in a given country.

Cool... has she gotten any orders through in those coins?

i agree that bitcoin is the medicine for money - and the medicine for many other social ills.

If you want to have an argument about palliative care, you might want to do it on a medical forum - the argument you made can be made to any private or public hospice facility, across the world.

The NHS works extremely well and leads to much better health outcomes overall as compared to the US system.

I love submissive men.  If they get to know me they don't put me on a pedestal

I put that there, indeed, because I would be glad to discuss things with people but it gets a bit tiring arguing things from first principles all the time

Invest; and sell goods and services for bitcoin.  Mining seems to be profoundly wasteful and unproductive with the intransigence of the mining companies these days!

gender disparity in business is known. What is up for debate is the reason behind the gender disparity.

Some people may claim essential differences between men and women - I claim that the disparity is because of gender based oppression and discrimination.

nb: I'm a LEFT WINGER, a SOCIALIST, and that's where my viewpoint comes from

Ah, sexism.

Thank you for the post, goat I would have loved to attend that bitcoin conference!

Yes, offer services in the services forum here - or, alternatively, put fiat in.

Beyond btc and ltc, other altcoins are far too volatile so I would avoid investing in them.

You could also consider investing in a website that sells goods or services for bitcoins - profiting through this business and expanding the btc economy. But this is the topic I am constantly harping on about

I would be interested to know if this gentleman has paid out as well.  People may complain about Stunna but he pays promptly and reliably.

Indeed yakuza I would recommend paying the original person, and paying much more for the video

http://www.cryptosextoys.com/ worked well for Christmas presents of a kinky variety - fortunately, in my line of work, I need quite a few kinky Christmas presents!

And of course I have received Bitcoin as a christmas present from a few people

I thought this might be an interesting way of learning a bit more about each other.

A three point status update is simply you, posting what's up with you today, in three bullet or numbered points.

So here's mine for today:

1) I am about to make some of my salad dressing as part of the christmas presents for my partner's family. Recipe available if anyone is interested.

2) I spent a few hours this morning scrabbling around looking to pirate a DVD rip of a movie for a gentleman who's wife is on bedrest.  Hope she enjoys it!

3) Tomorrow, my partner and I are driving to Nottinghamshire, to enjoy Christmas with his daughter and her family.  We have bought them all musical instruments for Christmas!

Feel free to post your three point status update in this thread!

Welcome to the forum - and I also believe 2014 will be a year for normalising bitcoin - looking forward to real markets and economies opening up for btc.

I would be interested to see what would be a way for people without loans or collateral to get started - possibly earning trust by doing small tasks for bitcoin could be useful in establishing some sort of reputation for people?

Good luck getting your bitcoin!
