You act like I'm trying to cheat taxes or something.  In reality, the govt overspends insanely out of control and foreign countries are also now refusing to buy the debt.  What does that mean?  It means the govt is coming for every single cent you have that isn't nailed down.  Taxes were 94% in the 1940's at one point.  Yes, 94 fucking percent.  

In any type of designed to centralize digital system that the govt can insert themselves into and control the giant mining buildings and everything else, instead of asking for taxes, the govt will eventually just step in and start seizing your money.  They can do it a million different ways in a digital bullshit system.  Maybe they'll force you to use their own altered client where only miners inside the country process transactions and then they take a giant haircut off each one.

You're using the govt's own infrastructure to use this garbage.  There is no escaping them in a digital system.  It costs barely anything to run a police state in cyberspace, while it's completely cost prohibitive to run an ironclad police state in the physical world.  Physical metals are a safeguard against intrusion by govt, while every digital system is always going to be at their mercy.  You can easily effectively ban and stop digital shitcoins from functioning and really existing at all, but no 'ban' can actually stop physical metals from existing.

Except immigration was restricted ENTIRELY to white, western Euro nations.  The Jews sought to undermine the country by lobbying for and passing the "Death of America" immigration act that abolished all quotas and nation of origin standards.  The restrictions were there entirely to prevent people from coming who are either unwilling or unable to assimilate.  Now the US imports SOMALIANS on purpose who are a giant net burden and never assimilate.

That stupid quote is NOT govt policy.  It's globalist propaganda written by a Jew named Emma Lazarus.  The real America was founded on white nationalism.  It's why ONLY white male land owners could vote.  You Marxists always try to rewrite history.  And why should non-land owners be able to vote?  They have no stake in the game and can just get up and leave to another state or country at any second.  Anything they vote for is also going to be heavily skewed towards wealth confiscation (communism).  Making it so only land owners can vote is an anti-communism safeguard.

It's the same reason why women weren't allowed to vote.  Males are the most productive members of society who build everything in the first place.  If you look outside your window, every single brick was put there by a man. Women as a whole PAY NO TAXES and are a net burden on a nation.  Any type of system giving women voting rights is going to be nothing more than 100% guaranteed communism where they vote to steal money from more productive males to subsidize themselves.

You are poorly educated in macroeconomics and sociology and all you want to do is tear down every societal norm that exists and was created for a reason over the course of thousands of years of evolution so that you can feel like you did some type of good deed when in reality you're a destructive menace.  The road to hell is paved with good intentions.  You will sit in a communist deathcamp of your own design and attempt to blame the fact it was created on everyone but yourself.

Oh yes, a completely centralized, non-fungible, government tracking and control system whose only possible endgame evolution will be an almost identical clone of the Chinese social credit score system is such a "revolution"!  Why would anyone ever use physical gold and silver when you can have the luxury of being monitored and audited in real-time by the govt like some type of goyim cattle?

Your shitcoins won't sell?  People not giving up gold and silver for buying them?  Give it up, Burger King is hiring.

A lot of you mentally ill Marxists will need to be purged due to the fact you're unable to process the fact a nation is a product of it's demographics, not all races are equal, and every nation without an ethnocentric majority collapses, which is the only reason nations like China and Japan still exist after all these years while others have imploded.  In other words, white nationalism aka what America was actually founded on, is the only way possible the nation can exist at all.  Anything else will be the union imploding, balkanized, and split up into sub-states.  

It's actually probably already inevitable the US will break up into smaller parts due to demographic pollution.  Russia has forecast this a few years back.  Just look at any movement trends in America.  It's ALWAYS whites practicing white flight and fleeing areas blacks move into like Chicago, Detroit, and wherever else.  The amount of money and resources the US spends on constantly trying to move away from black people is staggering, and a giant handicap compared to nations that don't have to do this.  

It's now getting to the point where there's nowhere for whites to flee to to escape these minorities (white people stalkers) and live a normal life, so whites will naturally start to attempt to secede from any areas infected with them and disallow them from invading their last stand , nowhere to run base.

Yea, I don't really understand how claims by the Lightning Network have fooled so many people thus far.  It's not possible for it to function in the real world as anything except the hub and spoke model abomination that I described above identical to the current banking system.  Anyone who's been around bitcoin for a while and actually talks to all the players in the scene would remember back in LN's formative stage, people were actually using phrases like "yea, we're going to attempt to scale bitcoin in a manner similar to the way current banks scale".  Well, congratulations, you have created....an exact replica of existing banks.

I'm not even joking.  The people working on it were using that exact terminology.  So why would it be surprising the end result is awful with all the same negatives?  Each LN hub/node would be required by law to do AML/KYC on transactions too, and each one would have giant blacklists of people they refuse to process transactions for which cannot be overcome with non-fungible tokens.  The whole thing is a nightmare.  The same people that ban your Twitter account for making a pro-Trump post will just literally turn off your money with blacklists so it can't be spent.  All money will flow through the same small amount of mega-hubs run by the banks too.

A lot of people are anti-Mike Hearn.  I don't know anything about him personally to make a call one way or another, but he was probably the first noteworthy person anyone knows about to make a case that if bitcoin relies on LN to scale, it will be a failure due to only being able to function in a hub and spoke configuration.  Regardless of whether you like him or not, I would say he's correct.  So where do people go from here?  If on-chain scaling is useless, and LN is useless, how is bitcoin useful for anything if all it is and has the capacity for is a centralized, intrabank settlement system inferior to gold as Hal Finney predicted would be it's only use case or fate.

It's very annoying the Lightning Network conmen are trying to pretend LN while bitcoin has empty blocks vs bitcoin with full blocks that are uneconomical to use would look anything remotely similar to one another.  It's a testnet and they're launching spam channels everywhere that have pocket change in each one and try to pretend each 'line' represents 'decentralization'.  In the real world, the way it's designed incentivizes you to put all your money in a single channel connected directly to a well-connected bank, so the exact opposite of how they try to trick people and portray it as.  

The testnet lines are meaningless, only incentives matter.  Empty channels that nothing flows through is not a valid measurement of anything, just a visual trick.  The real measurement of LN decentralization is basically what % of a user's net worth is all in the same channel and how few channels would actually be moving all the volume in the real world.  For example, do you think someone is going to have 20% of their net worth in a channel connected to the grocery store then 5% to the pet store, yada yada?  Hell no.  They're not going to pay money to open all these channels and then for no reason split all their money up into non-fungible pools that can't be combined to spend on larger purchases.  

How the fuck would you mobilize your cash to invest in anything if you constantly have to keep it in 100 different channels too?  It's not feasible for savers, spenders, for anyone really.  The only way it works at all in a non-clown car manner is having all your money in a single channel connected directly to a bank.  So in other words, LN is completely worthless and is identical to the current banking system.

I can't figure out what that is.  Is it a giant log of poop or what?  That must be one of those special Micgoossens restaurants.

This guy thinks the year is 1980 and the world is ruled by a bunch of delusional and brainwashed baby boomers.  Everyone and their mom knows Judaism is a psychopathic evil cult now.  You will find absolutely zero sympathy for your organized crime "tribe" of chronic liars, murderers, and thieves.  Calling someone anti-Jew is about as big of an insult as calling someone anti-Satan.  It's a compliment at this point.

The article conclusion is wrong.  People aren't pirating more due to fragmentation, they're pirating more because the global economy is imploding and they can't afford buying boxed sets of movies, video games, and giant cable packages.  Piracy is also up in the games industry because there's more half baked shovelware now than ever which makes people associate every game being a waste of money.

Have you ever visited other parts of the forum lately?  There's probably only 200 real people on here and the rest are Indian paid sig spam farmers.  I wouldn't want to sound like a Nazi or anything, but overpopulated 3rd world countries are also a huge roadblock in establishing any type of egalitarian monetary system.  

Any type of egalitarian system at it's base (if it didn't instantly centralize like bitcoin) would just resemble something like an airdrop in practice.  People in high tech Caucasian and Asian countries did not achieve those technologies, architecture, and everything else due to "privilege" or "raycism", they achieved them because a nation is a product of it's demographics and all people are not equal.  In other words, most of these 3rd world countries are slums because that is their pinnacle of possible achievement.

If you 'airdrop' a bunch of wealth on them, money is a zero sum game so you're basically just giving away your own wealth and making yourself their servants.  It's like reverse evolution in other words.  It just doesn't make any sense.  This is one of the many reasons silver will highly outperform gold.  Many of these 3rd world countries have stockpiled gold, while 1st world nations haven't, so there's no longer a reason for entities like the Pilgrim's Society to suppress the price of silver anymore.  If anything, there's now more incentive to suppress gold and let silver rise to catch up to it in ratio unless you think everyone on earth should be slaves to India.

The merit system serves absolutely no purpose so I do not participate in it.  All it is is people having a contest to see who can say the most outrageously buffoonish bullish statements that have no basis in reality and then people merit you for lying or making up bullshit.  If I typed "bitcoin will be $1 trillion each by tomorrow" in every post I would get merited half the time and become the highest merit holder on the forum.  This is why people like TrollJuanGee and Trollgoossens are the merit leaders of the board.

Trollgoossens, are you going to give up all hope at the 38.2% or wait for the 23.6% Fib retracement?

To be fair, he never actually had control over anything because the entire congress and senate are just puppets of AIPAC - the Israeli lobby.  Dirtbags like Jeff Flake everywhere that should be put in front of a firing squad for treason with Chuck Schumer and the rest of the dual citizen Israeli spies like the Rosenbergs back in 1953.  However, Trump keeps appointing NEW neocons and Zionist traitors into his cabinet like Kushner, Bolton, Pompeo, Nikki Haley, etc. So it doesn't appear he's even attempting to try to change anything.

Imaginary, valueless, centralized, digital shitcoins still sliding downwards while gold and silver start to go up.  Where is your false god Satoshi now, goyim?

It's true.  Much of striking it rich is entirely luck.  I know a couple people who know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about trading, markets, bitcoin, anything, that bought the worst alt-shitcoins ever and made anywhere from hundreds of thousands of dollars to a million just because someone pumped them while they owned them.  The shitcoin Expanse was one of them in particular.  I think it went up like +50x in one day.  I've never seen any pump and dump like that before.

You know you're dumpster diving for pro-bitcoin propaganda when you pretend irrelevant taco countries are the shining city on a hill that's going to bring humanity into the future.  INB4, but r0ach, some random guy from Argentina nobodys ever heard of did so and so.  Those people are descended from white Euros from Spain you assholes.  They aren't even taco people.
