The pseudoanonimity of the system may be very bad for taxes once people - the new generation - start to learn how to become anonymous. Unless the government have NSA-tons of computer power, following the steps of every transaction to bust tax evasions would be impossible. And I don't want my government to have NSA-tons of computer power.
Isn't cash pseudo-anonymous and bad for taxes? If you get paid cash-in-hand for stuff; there's no record. Plenty of business and self-employed people work this way. All Bitcoin transactions leave a paper-trail online, all aso uthorities have to do is try connect the dots.

Like people would read it, or even look. Would be better if added to the profile page where you set the profile picture.
I think that would be a wise idea. Still, I'm sure we'd still get one or two of these threads haha.

In his "Bitcoin is Illuminati one world currency" piece, Alex says:
"Y'know, these days, I do all my thinking with my gut"
And I could not help but think "yeah, both of your chins are kind of giving that one away"
Haha yeah, I saw that. Maybe he should try using his brain instead of his grumbling gut. Annoys me how he's always trying to sell his shitty water filters and crappy 'patriot blend' coffee. What a jebend.

Mainstream media not understanding something and getting facts wrong... what's new?
But even the "underground", "alternative" press are struggling, zerohedge not least (and their whole ethos is "the sky is falling, just really slowly.... watch it carefully"). Found Alex Jones talking about bitcoin on youtube just now, it's a "globalist techno-fascist plot", predictably. Yeah, Alex Jones cracks me up. He thinks everything is down to the New World Order. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sabinabecker.com%2Fmedia%2Falex-jones-hotdog.jpg&t=663&c=R51y8bNWfpYkuQ)

I just microwaved some veg soup, took it out, started to stir it, then a bit of potato or something violently exploded and sent soup flying everywhere - my face, hair, all over the floor and worktop. Never happened to me before, but sometimes it does in the actual microwave.
A bit of potato exploded? How the hell can a bit of potato explode from heat? I would understand a whole potato but a bit of potato should be able to store enough heat to actually explode. Either way , get a new microwave Potatoes and veg can explode because the water in them turns to steam and needs to escape; hence explosion. Nothing wrong with the microwave. That's why I said I'm amazed you said a piece of potato. For the steam to accumulate it needs to be if not the entire vegetable at least a big piece . I've tried blowing up bell peppers in the microwave or in the oven , and that wasn't the best idea around. I think it was a bit of potato. Potatoes are notorious for exploding, that's why you're meant to stab the bastards repeatedly with a fork.

I've been following this on and off all week - how did your discussion with the pot-smoker neighbour go?
Haven't done it yet - waiting for the right moment haha. Time is by your side. If you live in the north hemisphere winter is coming , so it's probable he won't be smoking in a garden so much in colder days. Did you ever ask him for a smoke? Why would I want to even communicate with that degenerate and why would I want any of his shitty weed? It's already freezing here and he's out in the garden at 3AM, so I don't think the cold bothers him. for context, what kind of a brit are you? yorkshire? londoner? or better yet, do you have a cockney accent? do you live in an ali g kind of neighborhood yo? The north. What context does that give you exactly? haha. I'll be honest, I was going to avoid this thread but after seeing a number of cases in the UK of those parents who just totally wrecked their kids lives or killed them I'd at least just call the police to come and check it out doesn't have to be a complaint or anything but if there's a kid crying constantly and stuff then something doesn't seem right. You don't want to be one of those neighbours who just assumed their neighbours were normal only to find there's a dead child in the house weeks later after the drug addict had finally had enough :S.
Granted, I'm assuming the worse here but the guy sounds like he needs help never mind the smoking weed at 3:00am, I've been depressed lately because of the stupid news reports again >_>.
He quite clearly does have a problem. I've known fulltime stoners who don't need to smoke every 2-4 hours. He doesn't abuse the kid from what I can hear, but he does ask if she "wants a slap?" or tells her to "shut the fuck up" quite often. He really is a chav waste of space.

Depends how you define accurate. They're taken from the mandatory census, so the data is taken from what people have described themselves as, but obviously most of the Jedi's were probably just atheists trolling.

My spending wallet is small, my holding wallet is... less small ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) just spend a bit, ask retailers you would buy from anyway if they take bitcoin. Convert some fiat if you have to, and spend it! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I can always earn more bitcoin ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) That's true, but you will be earning smaller amounts as the value increases. I'd rather hold onto coins and watch the value increase, then when/if the time comes when highstreet retailers start accepting it I can start having some fun ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) .

Mainstream media not understanding something and getting facts wrong... what's new?
You've also got to put yourself into the shoes of a journalist trying to quickly understand a complex new concept. We are already deeply engrained and engrossed in the world and are passionate about it, so it's easy to belittle or condescend to outsiders, but we must take any articles trying to condense something as new as cryptocurrencies down into bitesize pieces with a grain of salt. At least they're getting the name out there and are not spreading too much dangerous misinformation.

Yes, that reasoning is a part of the problem - it is far more likely that your overall store of bitcoin will grow in value if bitcoin becomes a means of exchange! So save some, as I do, and spend some ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) There is no problem, and it is already used as a means of exchange. Every single Bitcoin in existence doesn't have to be constantly moving in and out of wallets for it to be useful or valuable. In fact, scarcity adds to value, not over-abundance. I'll just save mine for now, but you're free to spend it on keyrings and dildos or whatever if you wish, but I'll bet there will be a time when you wish you didn't.

![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) me neither but for other reasons perhaps :p Going to watch the blockchain for tips, I suppose? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Isn't it funny? When a guy asks for some m BTC is called begging , when a woman does the same is called tipping:) Yeah, but tits ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) .

I love the fluffy snow, cold clear nights for astrophotography and the Christmas Spirit bolstered by classical songs. That's all I get to enjoy, but it's more then enough!
Dude I want to see snow so bad ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) I haven't seen it before Snow shouldn't ever be more than a plane trip away! Isn't anything 'only a plane trip away'? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
