Thanks you, I was obviously trolling, I love rainforests and all but I am not rich enough to go and see rainforest in person and definitely too poor to buy one ;-)

You don't have to be rich inorder to save the rain forest. For example, while buying furniture buy the brands which don't use illegally sawn wood. Spread the word around.

I have used Blockchain.info for the past 2 years or so. Not planning to shift to any other client.

There are no third party vendors (as of now). If you have found any then you had found a scam.

Oh... so it is impossible for new users to obtain Trezors.  Angry
20944  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin an investment or is a currency ? on: April 02, 2014, 04:50:19 PM
For me, it is both.

At least during the initial phase, the Bitcoin will be used more as an investment. And don't get me wrong. People even stockpile bundles of USD or EUR, hoping that their exchange rate will improve in the near future. Same with BTC.

As time progresses, the use as a currency will gain momentum.
20945  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Island on: April 02, 2014, 04:47:01 PM
That is true, and even if we don't give a fuck about the government it's still immoral. Can't we just take some uninhabited island somewhere and build our nation there?

The problem is that all the uninhabited islands are claimed by one country or the another. There are no free islands left.

If you have money, then you can try building an artificial island in the international waters. That'll be quite difficult, as the international waters (outside the EEZ of UN members) are very deep.

There are no CONFIRMED cases of cannibalism in the Amazon. However there are in New Guinea as you said.

The Ache of Paraguay practiced cannibalism until 1990. But they live in a region which is known as Chaco (outside the Amazon). Cannibalism was practised by the Tupi of Eastern Brazil (outside Amazonia) until the 18th century, when most of the Tupian tribes were exterminated. Amazonian Tupi never practiced cannibalism.

Out of the 2,000 nations (around 10,000 to 15,000 tribes) which populated South America before the European contact, only some 200 have survived to this date (~1,000 tribes). Most of the survivors are heavily assimilated.

Only some 70 tribes are uncontacted (completely isolated). There are no reports of any cannibalism among them. Most of these tribes number less than 20 individuals and live in pockets of forest surrounded by ranches. I have studied some two dozen of these tribes as a part of my project work. I found that the population is declining in 80% of the cases, while 20% of the tribes (mostly in the Javari) showed stable population.

There are another 70 or 80 tribes, such as the Yanomami and Xavante who have preserved their traditions. But they have also abandoned cannibalism.

I wasn't comparing Cuba to the US at all. I was comparing Cuba to 1950's Cuba, which had new cars.

Keep believing that communist propaganda. I cannot un-brainwash you from your "facts" about standards of living. I specifically mentioned Cuba for reasons that obviously went over your head.

So having new cars is the new standard of living? If I am believing in Commie propaganda, then you are addicted to NATO propaganda.
20950  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Would you buy Japanese Chocolate With Crypto-Coins? on: April 02, 2014, 04:16:02 PM
If the of cost shipping wasn't ridiculous, yes.

It is much lower than average Ebay shipping cost. And remember, Chocolate bars require specialized packing before the shipment.
20951  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: average = $ 833 USD per transaction ? on: April 02, 2014, 04:14:28 PM
The figure is highly manipulated by a few high volume transactions, involving exchanges such as BTC-E and Bitstamp. A median will be much more accurate, when compared to the mean.
20952  Other / Off-topic / Re: Buy rainforest? on: April 02, 2014, 04:12:19 PM
There actually are a few tribes who still practice cannibalism. That's no reason to refrain from buying rainforest there though.

There a few tribes in New Guinea.etc. But not in the Amazon. Cannibalism was last reported there in the 19th century.
20953  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: For a beginner does Bitcoin or Altcoin make more sense? on: April 02, 2014, 03:59:02 PM
If you have limited hashpower, then mine some altcoins. Else, go for BTC.
20954  Other / Off-topic / Re: Buy rainforest? on: April 02, 2014, 03:56:45 PM
There are cannibals in amazon jungles, deal with it. Just Google it tons of cases. If u find it offensive then go and live with the cannibals

Oh yeah... not only the cannibal, Elvis also live there. Why make your ignorance known to everyone around here?
20955  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is anyone else concerned that 43% of the hashrate is from an unknown source? on: April 02, 2014, 03:52:47 PM
31% right now. I guess it depends where you look. This is a pretty acurate site: http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/chart.php

Just means that PFOE found the source of the remaining 12% hashrate.
20956  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Island on: April 02, 2014, 03:51:31 PM
Yeah, but fuck the UN. Still, since we have some money the Nauru government will totally cooperate. (Nauru doesn't really have any money)

No country will allow unlimited immigration to the point that the natives become only a fraction of the population. Already in Nauru, only around 60% of the population is native.

Agree, great defense argument!

May be. But even using your property for the sale of drugs is a punishable offence in the US.

Not if the UK has the planned EU referendum we won't Tongue

Is such a referendum supported by any of the major political parties? And more importantly, is it legitimate?

If N. Korea  got it, they got it from China.
like N. Korea space program

There is no Chinese space program. They stole it from Russia.

How about Cuba: suffering decades of sanctions as severe punishment for siding with the wrong team? Why did the USSR allow them to become so poor?

You really need to study more about Cuba. You cannot compare Cuba with the US. You should compare Cuba with its neighbors, such as Jamaica, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Compared to those nations, Cubans enjoy a very high standard of living, thanks to decades of help from the USSR.

Medical care in Cuba is the best in the entire Latin America. Life expectancy is much higher than their neighbors, and even higher than that in the USA. The USSR had invested heavily in giving quality education to the Cubans. As a result we Cuba now have the highest per capita number of doctors in the entire Latin American region.

All this not without the obstacles. The richest 10% of the population fled to the US many decades ago, taking their wealth with them. Everything had to start from the scratch. But still, the Cubans did a wonderful job. The US and NATO is still trying to destroy the nation. But they will never succeed.
