Poor charts! They've put all European countries together (save Denmark, I wonder why). So you can see the growth in most countries, but I wish someone could make a chart comparing countries for a given month.
2022  Economy / Economics / Re: If Greece defaults on: June 30, 2015, 11:07:28 PM
That's it, they missed a payment. Somehow, I'm happy because now the Greek problem will move to another stage. For the better or the worse, but at least, things are changing. The negotiations have been far too long. Now, things will move at a much faster pace.

What I wonder is how long this default will remain, say, virtual. In my eyes, the most awful thing about the Greek crisis is that most people haven't understood what's at stake: they talk about the "troika". They forget that the troika is only a front, it's all the Europeans who are behind. me included, and possibly you, if you're an European citizen. Every Greek owes several hundreds euros to every other European citizen. Can I travel to Greece and claim a piece of land as a repossession? Hey, this is what bankers do!

Really very pathetic, please read the cries and hues of the people in Greece http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/greek-banks-close-as-cash-machines-run-dry/story-e6frg8zx-1227419442216

“How can something like this happen without prior warning?” asked Angeliki Psarianou, a 67-year-old retired public servant, who stood in the drizzle after arriving too late at one empty ATM in the Greek capital. “I want Tsipras to tell me how I am going to make it through the week with €10 in my bag with rent coming up. It has never been as bad as this.”

How can a 67-year old man be that stupid? Still renting at retirement age, with only €10 in his wallet? I have never met someone so dumb. Most Africans are smarter. Since he was a public servant, I fully understand the mess the country is in.

I believe capital controls forbids sending money outside of the country. If it's still possible today, it won't be possible tomorrow. Greek banks just have no other choice if they want to open again next week.

ROFL thanks for sharing

This is so brilliant I am all excited now  Grin Grin Grin

It is 100% authentic, here is an article in German from a major newspaper

http://www.welt.de/vermischtes/article143128131/Miniroecke-koennten-zu-Missverstaendnissen-fuehren.html

Germans like to be abused, they like to be buttfucked hard. In Germany the Nationalist party is like 1%, whereas in Finland or France (where people have much less reasons to vote right) it is around 30%

So Germans like to be buttfucked at least 30 times harder than other nationalities.  Grin


Danke schön!
So it's real and those are sad news. The Germans shall adapt to the foreigners, and it isn't up to the foreigners to adapt to German culture. That's just how a country loses its identity. The German remains much stronger than French identity, though. Maybe not for long.

Lol, you're taking a website called dailystormer seriously? Are you really now stooping to posting unsoucred crap from racist blogs?
the source is russia today which you would know if you had clicked the link and read the article

Guys, if you want reliable news about what's happening in Germany, check German websites, in German.
Anyway, there's just no way an authority could tell a German teenager how to dress. If a German girl wants green hair, she'll get green hair. If she wants to show her ass, she will.
2027  Economy / Economics / Re: BREAKING: Greece: bank holiday on Monday & introduction capital controls ! on: June 29, 2015, 03:37:33 PM
Good.

At last, this is getting real. We shall see a solution to the Greek problem which has been damaging around Europe for more than a decade.
The Greeks cannot more money out of their country, and other Europeans cannot send them money. We'll see how they behave now that they're all by themselves.
2028  Economy / Economics / Re: Grexit on: June 29, 2015, 03:32:22 PM
It seems Greece are never able to pay back on time and always ask for bailout! It cannot be like this forever! But it seems they fall in this dilema, creditors have to extend the loan and bailout Greece otherwise Greece will default!

Allow them to generate the tax revenue, and then they will be able to pay back their debts. The Greek agricultural, real estate, and the tourism sectors have all been hit hard by the EU sanctions on Russia. Their industrial sector is in shambles, due to the tax increases. Exclude Greece from the EU sanctions on Russia, and allow the construction of the Turkish Stream on Greek territory. Slowly, the Greeks will be able to repay their loans.

The Greek debt is not sustainable because the interest on it is super high and compounded..It has to be restructured, like the allies did for Germany after ww2 and wiped off a shit load of it that's how the German economy took off. Basically the Germans got rewarded for causing the the 2nd world war and the deaths of millions..I like Germans don't get me wrong, Greeks can learn from the discipline of German culture but Greeks should get the same respite as the Germans then that is fair play.. THE EU ruined the Greek economy, along with corrupt and overspending Greek politicians so those politicians that ruined the country should be put on trial as criminals and the Greek debt restructured first.. Cheesy Grin

The Greek debt has already been hugely restructured a few years ago, and there was hope at the time that Greece would learn from Germany and other countries with good managers at the helm, but our hopes have faded. Has that Tsipras guy done anything to improve tax collection? Or to bring to justice previous corrupt Greek politicians? What has he done besides insulting his bankers, saying debts are a shame and asking for more time?

Greece ruined itself. Alone. It fully deserves to suffer from its wrongdoing.
2029  Economy / Economics / Re: First Greece...who next? on: June 29, 2015, 03:14:32 PM
Japan's a strong economy making high quality sophisticated manufactured products which it sells all over the world. It's impossible to compare with Greece which needs heavy restructuring everywhere. Greece used to sell olive oil, but Tunisian oil is cheaper. Greek wine? I've seen cheaper French wine! And wine from Moldova is for nothing, since Putin blocked all exports from the little country.

Maybe Greece doesn't belong to Europe. If it were in Africa, nobody would care about it.
2030  Economy / Economics / Re: The Greek Dilemma: Hyper Inflation, Austerity, or Bitcoin? on: June 29, 2015, 03:03:08 PM
Title is all wrong. BTC is not an option, nor would it change anything because Greece has no currency problem. It has a budget problem (it's spending too much) and a debt problem (it owes billions to every other European country). Greece may go back to its BS drachma, but as long as it keeps spending more than it's making, not much will change.

The referendum? What's the question? Have the ballot papers been printed yet?
2031  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Illegal Migrant Crisis in Mediterraean on: June 28, 2015, 10:53:46 AM
This idea certainly looks good on paper, but it would be a major operation to take control of all ports in Lybia. With a serious risk of casualties for NATO troops.

There will be some NATO casualties for sure, if the rebel groups (especially the Islamic State) engages them. But since the NATO is a superior fighting force, they will be able to pull off this operation with minimal losses. The rebel groups are fighting against each other, and this has made them very weak, in terms of manpower and equipment.

Any loss of life makes terrible news. In EU or US, nobody cares about the death of a Palestinian or a Syrian, but the death of a western soldier immediately makes headlines, and that's bad. You see the opposition asking about the reasons behind the sending of the troops, and calls to bring the boys home. I'm afraid no government from a leading NATO country is ready to accept that.

I say that's good. We need new ideas, and those most often comes from new people. He has very little chance of being elected but with a little provocation, he could make the election much more interesting, and force the other candidates to take risks, and that's good.
2033  Economy / Economics / Re: Greek referendum on: June 28, 2015, 10:34:37 AM
That referendum, if there's one, is a huge waste of money. Funny how the government is saying it cannot afford to repay what it owes but it still has cash to organize a referendum, something which cannot be done cheaply. Just like last week, when the Greeks are known to be the worst tax collectors in the world, they said they will raise tax to repay their loans. If this was the solution, I wonder why this wasn't done earlier.

I wouldn't buy an used car from Tsipras.
2034  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does old bitcoins worth any extra ? on: June 28, 2015, 10:27:16 AM
I don't know the age of my BTC. Don't even know how to get this information. I know that in some countries, there's a date (only month and year actually) on the banknotes to tell when it was issued, but who cares? That makes no difference at all. Money's money whatever the age, and there's no premium coming from age.
2035  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Poll: 25% of Moslems in America Support Violent Jihad Against Americans on: June 27, 2015, 05:42:50 PM
Considering the fact that there are some 3 million Muslims in the United States, let me do some simple calculations:

1. Total Muslim population: 3 million (of which some 750,000 are African-American, and another 800,000 Arab).
Also consider how many Muslims watch the O'reilly factor (7), and how many of them responded to his poll (0).

I would say we can ignore anything that hateful Christian Conservatard says about Muslims.

I don't know what's that O'reilly factor, but if the survey was done properly, the people polled were not told about the company ordering the survey.

I'm sad to see America is getting like France or the Netherlands. The enemy is inside the country. You cannot trust your neighbors anymore.
2036  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Illegal Migrant Crisis in Mediterraean on: June 27, 2015, 05:38:39 PM
Countryfree,

I respectfully disagree. If authorities are indeed shocked, it is by massive (yet, still pasive) resistance from natives, not by human waves from south.

What resistance from natives? I've never seen that. In Calais, I've seen French people giving food and medical care to migrants. You can see them at work everyday. Yes, they are natives complaining, but I've never seen nor heard about a demonstration against the migrants. It's all silent.


One way for leaders to achieve increased control over their citizens would be to introduce a problem then provide a solution.  If a majority of 'natives' of a country feel threatened by newcomers and have no realistic alternatives for 'protection' than the state, that's what they will choose.  This could take the form of increased surveillance of society generally and an increase in the number and capabilities of state sponsored paramilitary assets.

I wonder if this is not one of the main driving forces behind the push to control guns in private hands here in the U.S.  The more people feel confident that they can protect themselves, the less inclined they are to rely on the state for various kinds of protection.

As best I can tell from afar (sitting here on the West coast of the U.S.) it seems that Western Europe is a lot farther along the path to centralization and that planning and directing these population movements is handled mostly from Brussels.  It's an interesting thing to watch.  I'll be paying closer attention to the phenomenon.

Brussels has yet to answer to the problems of these thousands of migrants who arrive every week. Ask anyone in Italy, he'll say the EU doesn't do anything, and that is correct. It is member states, Hungary beefing up its borders, France blocking the migrants in Ventimiglia, who act, leaving all the burden to countries on the Southern side, Italy or Greece.

Regarding protection, it isn't the issue here. There's about 40 millions people unemployed in EU. Many locals just wonder what will the migrants do if they're allowed to get in? This as a time where most countries are running a deficit.


Countryfree, 92% of my compatriots (Czechs) refused quota in public poll, despite nonstop guilt trip by local media. Last weekend 10 000 people demonstrated in Slovakia against further islamization of Europe, only 200 antifa members showed up to counter them.

In places such Austria, Hungary or southern Germany no demonstrations are needed as officials reflect on interests of their taxpayers.

Italy is border state, it recieves euro funds even from poorer member states just to protect Shengen zone. It doesnt do so. What it does instead is supporting refugee bussiness for its mafia. There is no higher power forcing Italians to take the rest of the world in, in that case, it might be better to build fence around Italy and wish them good luck.

80 million people every year are born into poverty. Right now, only about millions illegals plus million legal migrants are moving into EU and the system is already cracking. Can you do the math? Because I can. Guilt trip of western white man wont save the world, but it sure can get his family killed.

A demonstration of native Europeans against illegal immigrants! I guess Slovakia has a future. Such a thing would be unthinkable in richer western countries, there would be more "antifas" than demonstrators.

The things are not easy for Italy as European law prevents it from sending the immigrants back to Africa. It's easy to stop people at a border on land, but it's not on sea when they come on a sinking ship. You save them or you let them die, but this second option makes you a bad guy on the evening news.


It immigration and human-rights advocates argue that addressing the crisis will require Europe to look beyond its watery border and the people who seek to ferry refugees across it. Sad Smiley

The solution is very simple, and I don't know why the European Union is not interested in implementing it. Just send a few thousand NATO forces to the major Libyan and Tunisian ports. Take control of the ports, and destroy all the ferries and boats owned by the human smugglers. Never allow any refugee to board on a boat or ferry.

This idea certainly looks good on paper, but it would be a major operation to take control of all ports in Lybia. With a serious risk of casualties for NATO troops.

2037  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Can you give advice how to convince my local ice-cream shop to accept bitcoins on: June 27, 2015, 05:25:33 PM
I wouldn't do that. Don't get me wrong I love BTC, but nothing beats cash for small routine, over the counter, transactions. I'm always surprised to see so many people paying cheap little items with a credit card. No trace, no record. I suggest you try to convince an used car dealer, that would be more appropriate.
2038  Economy / Economics / Re: Greek referendum on: June 27, 2015, 05:13:31 PM
The fool is just buying time. I'm very happy his request has been denied. The world has already been waiting far too long for Greece. If Greece expects to keep on receiving money from banks, it must accept what the banks are saying. I've seen a Greek family enjoying a vacation in Paris last month. You wonder how this is possible, when the government says the country is being strangled.

There's a serious issue with Coinbase here. If this is true, we shall boycott this company immediately. I understand that the FBI or other law enforcement agencies can track your acts, or business, but Coinbase shouldn't. I want to point out that when buy drugs with cash, US dollars, nobody sees the Bank of America, nor the Federal Reserve as having been part in your wrongdoing. Coinbase customers should be entirely free to do illegal things with BTC, and Coinbase has no right to prevent its customers from doing so, nor should it track its customers.
