American "libertarianism" is growing only among sheltered suburban white males with republican parents. Most healthy teenagers grow out of childish Randian philosophy before they turn 17. Only those who stop reading other philosophical works, the fundamentalists, remain libertarians.

You can call them simply middle class taxpayers .

I wouldn't underestimate those 60+ grey haired guys. They may indeed understand nothing (or even less than that) about and in technology (and all such), but they know people, their weaknesses and addictions by far better than most of us do, since, otherwise, they wouldn't get where they are in the first place. This means, in its turn, that they have guys at their disposal who are pretty well aware of what's what in networking, internet and crypto (and by far better than most of us do)...

Bytecoin GUI-wallet will be published together with the next release by the end of this week.

Is it better to save money in bank or invest it online, in real estate or maybe gold?

Of course wallets don’t matter this much. But payment gateway definitely does. I mean, this is huge thing for services/businesses/etc. Now exchanges, shops and any other projects could easily accept Bytecoin and other CryptoNote coins. This does matter.

I just haven’t got it how exactly this would work? Something like CoinPayments or what? How quickly can I implement this on my website, for example?

capable of receiving and sending thousands Bytecoin transactions simultaneously

I was thinking about this, what if the US Dollar crashes like speculated by many renowned economists around the world?
What will be it's affects on the beloved currency, BTC?

Well at least they're not going to die in alone in space now, but I don't have any sympathy for them on any time or money they may have wasted on this project. I've said it was a scam since day dot.

All the wars that we've had in the past few decades....would it be possible without a Keynesian system?  The speculation and asset bubbles?

In most of the people's mind, money is a standard unit of value. Just like using meter to measure length and using kilogram to measure weight, people use money to measure value

Based on proven economy theory, value is decided by supply and demand: More supply and less demand will decrease the value, vice versa. However, this does not apply to money: Money can be used to purchase anything, the demand for money can be regarded as infinite. When demand is close to infinite, the supply will not change its value in any significant way. So for average household, the money's value feels the same for them regardless of money supply

So there is a strange phenomenon: Banks create money to dilute the wealth of the whole society, but when average people are becoming poorer, they need banks to create more money to rob them so that they could get a little bit more income. As a result, banks create 100$ of money but give them 1$ so that they can hang on for a while

If everyone's money suddenly increase by 1000 times, then money's value will crash right away. The art to maintain money's value is to keep majority of people's demand for money at close to infinite. So increased money supply should be used to buy assets and debts, to increase average people's living cost, make sure that they never have enough money. Only through this way, the money's value will be stable

The amazing thing is: Such a system seems to be formed naturally over time. It is the demand for money that enslaved majority of human. And the more they are enslaved, they demand more money, thus make the money more valuable

Of course the money I'm talking here is fiat money

Exactly this is the reason we should keep both assets. Ideally it would be the best solution to invest in bitcoin and in buy some gold as well. Of course it is the safest and stable way. Bitcoin is here to stay I think and investing in it is good, but its price volatility can be an issue, while gold price fluctuation is bearable.

If you had to convert all your wealth to either Bitcoin or gold and keep it there for 10 years, which would you choose? Keep in mind the fact that Bitcoin has only been around for 5 years, and could be fundamentally different in any number of ways in 10 years.

I'm thinking of buying a flat in Amsterdam or rather taking a mortgage out more specifically. Mortgage rates are pretty good and if I choose to I will have to invest little of my own money.

Pros:

• It's in a bustling major city
  The market seems to have bottomed and is in a small upswing
  Easy for me to get a good size mortgage
  Rates are very low
  Some tax benefits to owning
  Beats renting
  Can always rent it out fairly easily if I end up having to leave Amsterdam

That's what you get when you start giving it away for free. The Union threw its precious Euro into a number of black holes like Greece and Cyprus and now people are arguing that these countries would be prospering better without it. Soon Britain will be congratulating itself as GBP is doing great compared to EUR.
