You are going to give up without even a battle?  You are not even going to complain about the loss of privacy, liberty and ting-a-lingies (that you already forgot what they feel like)?  OMG!!!!    What a world!!!  

By the way, even if you do not appreciate or use these kinds of privacy, liberty and ting-a-lingie services, you should, at least, attempt to think beyond yourself in order to attempt to appreciate the ramifications of giving up.. or if everyone were to give up, and yeah, maybe you cannot make the fight yourself, but there should be some appreciation for others engaged in the fight, no?  Seems bitcoin involves some of that.

Don't be suggesting that Jimbo is too much of a boomer merely because he is giving practical advice, because none of us should be dissing on cash or dissing on the idea of interacting with people face to face.

There is a lot of value in keeping our interactions and our transactions plausibly deniable, which becomes a whole lot more difficult when you stick your bills into some kind of machine because you prefer them to be converted into electronic pieces that you can more easily handle.

Yeah, I know that bitcoin does not have any kind of physical component either, and surely part of the challenge that we bitcoiners are going to continue to have is to figure out ways to preserve some of our privacy and preserve the traceability of our transactions.

By the way, I think that it can be a good idea to keep a number of bills on you, even if you don't seem to like cash, but sometimes it can be nice to interact with people using cash, even if we are becoming traceable in so many other ways, with our having a digital tracking device in our pocket (aka smart phone) but we also can have some plausible deniability regarding some of our cash transactions... at least so far we have some of those kinds of freedoms if we are not so willing to give them up.

TLDR:
Cash is not the enemy.

Face to face interactions are not a bad thing.

I have met a lot of nice people face to face.. and even caused me ting-a-lings, back in the good ole days.

I haven't seen before here and if you don't like... MEH.
Are you trolling me or what?  

....
A device? You mean an electronic device like a cellphone or computer?

Obvious bias is obvious. (or just a basic lack of knowledge of how iq works but im feeling generous). But aside from that, who cares. Intelligence is far more than IQ. IQ is just a measure of how fast the brain works, kind of like a computer processor. It says nothing about HOW you use your brain, what programs are running.

People have different specialties and different ways of approaching the same ends. Bottom line in all this, is he doing a decent job? Appears to be the case. Better than any of the alternatives. Let it go.

"bottom line he's doing a decent job?"

...All president Trump is doing is to get peer reviewed science in action and away from fake news.

I think Imma swallow a light bulb while I'm at it.

dude, what even makes you special any more?

badecker the guy that advertises chemicals sourced by big pharma and wants people to take them daily
badecker the guy that loves trump and governments capitalist plans
badecker the guy that only looks at 5 bookmarked websites and refuses to research the actual facts found on thousands of other sites

i think he doesnt realise whose scripts he is reading
i have yet to see an original. new, independent point of view come from badeckers post. and he doesnt realise that everything he is saying many have said before him and they have got debunked too.

Is Gleb still in this thread? just saw it again, such lulz

...
It's true that bars (especially live music bars), and by extension musicians, have been hurt by anti-smoking laws.
...

People used to go out to bars to drink, smoke, listen to live music, meet people, dance, and have a good time. It's not such a good time if they have to interrupt their fun to put on their coats and go stand out in the rain or snow to have a smoke.

gee

what put him in such a bad mood?

I have a friend who gave up her heroin and cocaine addictions years ago. In the process she also stopped drinking and smoking cannabis.

Now she tut-tuts anyone who gets high or relaxes with a drink while preaching the gospel of "clean and sober".

Only problem is that she smokes 2-3 packs of cigarettes a day and does enough benzodiazepines every day to put most people into a coma.

Go figure.

I may have quit smoking cigarettes 35 years ago but I'll defend the rights of others to smoke if they want to.

I hate anti-smoking Nazis. If you want to smoke, smoke. If you don't want to smoke, don't smoke. If you own a bar or restaurant, you should be free to allow smoking or not. The public should be free to choose whether they want to patronize smoking or non-smoking establishments.

When we still had optional smoking or non-smoking rooms in restaurants in Toronto, I always chose the smoking room despite not smoking. I could see it pissed off some of the smokers that I was taking up a valuable seat in the smoking room while the non-smoking room was almost empty. I just found that besides for having no children in the smoking section, there was a better class of people there. All the fussbudgets and complainer types used the non-smoking section.

Don't give me some silly crap about secondhand smoke if you drive a car or burn a campfire. One of my pet peeves is people who smoked for years, quit, and then somehow magically became instantly "allergic" to cigarette smoke. I quit so everyone else has to quit too. Oh boo hoo hoo!

Personally, I find perfumes, colognes, aftershaves and other artificial scents to be far worse, but I won't interfere with people who wear them. I appreciate that most hospitals ban them and I'll avoid places that sell them.

Smoke or don't smoke. No big deal.

Yup, wish I was a forward thinking at 13 as you were, I started when it was still projected as being cool and the Marlboro Man was on every channel. thants not an excuse, just a fact.
