That Resolution (not law, passed by a very narrow margin) merely creates a Council to study the issue, but study it very carefully: 65 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Legislature and the Governor encourage the 66 council to share its findings, including recommendations, with the Revenue and Taxation 67 Interim Committee before September 1, 2016.  It also says 68 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Utah state 69 treasurer, the director of the Division of Finance, the executive director of the Governor's 70 Office of Management and Budget, the executive director of the State Tax Commission, local71 advocacy groups that support the use of bitcoin, and other public or private entities that may 72 have interest in the Council on Payment Options for State Services as proposed by this 73 resolution. What, no Prof. Bitcorns? And what about Litecoin, Dogecoin, or Monero? I thought that in Utah a man was "able to share his love with as many cryptocoins as he likes" ...  It is what it is. More to follow. |

A man should be able to share his love with as many horses as he likes. Love knows no bounds. |

I like how everybody disregarded that 50000 BTC auction that is about to happen in approximately 48 hours.
isnt it on the 9th? I thought 5th? Edit: Deadline for registration Noon EST on Monday, March 02, 2015 Bidders get confirmation of participation and bidding forms on 3rd Auction on the 5th Winner will receive coins on the 9th http://www.usmarshals.gov/assets/2015/dpr-february-auction/ |

Yeah, 20 grand worth of bitcoins... Barely walking-around money. Exactly! Especially if you add that they didn't have to pay anything to use this payment method or keep it on their site. I bet you there was an accountant somewhere with his knickers in a knot. 100 btc payments is not the same thing as 100 btc in payments ... right? They said around two a week, so approx 100 payments in a year. |

after the upcoming auction how many coins do they have left?
44k I think ? The Ozzies have some too. they have what like 10K buying large blocks at fixed price like this a deal and a half, plus with price severely depressed... I think we'll see a alot of buying pressure come back to the markets once these coins are off the table. wouldn't be surprised to see the move up before hand in anticipation. I think from memory it was closer to 25K the ozzies have got. |

Counter question: "Why do most people (mostly) trust their governments?"
Now that is a question worth asking! Edit: Or as Oda said. They don't chose their government in the sense they chose their doctor or internet provider. Obama is your president whether you like it or not. You are subject of the state and it's laws whether you like it or not. And you cannot opt out. So, they don't chose their government, but they do trust it. Why? a) Indoctrination, for the first 20 years of life. Would a teacher in a a state-sponsored and state-regulated schools / university teach you that state shouldn't be trusted? b) Self-delusion. We can't live in an unjust world. Since we can't change the world, we change our world picture. We persuade ourselves that state is not stationary bandit, but public servant. Not wolf, but shepherd. To an extent some of my better teachers years ago certainly did teach that a state cannot be trusted... certainly in history, social studies, politics..... you could argue that they did not state the case enough. |

Huh?
I think I am lost.
I just looked up this Chris Hansen (I do not watch television, but have heard of the show) and Bruce Wagner..
Let me get this straight, in case I am confused.... are you guys saying if you spend time in south east asia you are a pedophile?
That cannot be what you are getting at? because that would be almost one of the stupidest things I have ever heard?
Not necessarily, but implicitly if you are all of the following things: - a white Male - traveling alone - new found riches - vocal about "freedom" in a certain way about very specific topics only happening to affect the prosecution of sex offenders, not others - a certain image of sleaziness *not enough to convict somebody, but fuck you that's why. Right.... and what has that got to do with me taking about riding motorbikes in south east asia? Also........ a person is a pedophile if they have anything to do with having sex with children. The rest is all bollocks. |

 righton righton ... if you dig mountaineering i think we're twins interest wise ... *i prefer to spear fish than to wait for them to bite I enjoy rock climbing, caving, not really done any mountaineering as such, biggest thing I have gone up (on foot at least) would be Snowden in Wales, though I have a date with destiny to go and climb one of the Annapurna peaks. (or near enough lol, I hear one of the passes (Thorung La pass) that takes you into the middle is pretty high, 5,400m) I have always thought if you are going to rag the absolute shyte out of an off road vehicle, car, buggy, bike, quad..... heck even a jetski, it is nearly almost always better if it is rented so then you do not have to pay for the repairs and maintenance... they can after all take a fair bit of beating, but only so much  Though it is a awesome feeling to really really know your machine well and its weight, its physics, the way it moves, that is when they are most fun imo. As for boats, as long as you can fish, sleep, and cook on it.. I love it, only thing is if I bought one I would have to go and live on it for 10 months of the year, otherwise I would feel like I was just throwing money into a hole in the sea. Only tried spear fishing once.. yeah, good fun. |

Sod the boat ..... I want one of those ^^ those desert runners are ridiculous ... and i'm sure suuuuuper fun ... but i already own a badass rock crawler jeep that can go anywhere on dryish land ... the most toys wins right ? In reality they are both two of my favorite things: I love off road driving I love fishing (sea/coastal) So I would be happy with either. Happier with both. |

I could get 4pcs 64GB microSD cards below $100 each two years ago. For the third and last time moores law is about cost per transistor (Which is analogous to cost per flash cell). the 4 x 64GB would not have the same transistors density (since split into 4 separate sd cards) as the 200GB. ergo moore's law. Ergo you don't understand moores law, but it's not your fault education has failed you. nuff said meh, thats just a brilliant argument. You are saying 200GB SDcard isnt the result of moore's law because i lack education. Who the fuck are you to juge? Moore's law implies increasing transistors density whilst reducing (production) costs. Its not because you'll pay an extra money as a dumb late consumer downstream that it is not valid. But whatever i'll leave it to your ego. Relevant: http://www.kurzweilai.net/the-law-of-accelerating-returns |

did not-lambo-chopsy commit suicide? It has been hanging out in the security subforum part-time as the price has risen. Heard it got a pay cut under the circumstances, it is having trouble contributing to mom's electric bill. Hasn't been eating regular either.  I do not think he has had a wash in a while either. Filthy Bitcoiner. |

All to easy for this to happen out there... having spent a lot of time in se asia, it is all too common... in my past I have spent a lot of time bombing around islands on bikes with no helmet, on occasion with a drink or two in me, often on gravel covered roads.. one slip....
R.I.P Adam Tepper : (
(*misspent youth)
(** I am not in anyway insinuating Adam Tepper was drinking)
It's always Thailand. Yeah.... I have seen some god awful shit out there as it goes.  ^You like popsickles? Then you need to come down to the cellar. Cause I got a freezer full of popsickles down in the cellar.
I couldn't believe it at first, but you guys seem to be right. Always assumed Bruce Wagner was the exception. Disturbing. huh?^^ what the fuck is that all about? I think I was offering Chris Hansen a refreshing treat. What? Why? Huh? I think I am lost. I just looked up this Chris Hansen (I do not watch television, but have heard of the show) and Bruce Wagner.. Let me get this straight, in case I am confused.... are you guys saying if you spend time in south east asia you are a pedophile? That cannot be what you are getting at? because that would be almost one of the stupidest things I have ever heard? OMG! I just realized NLC would have a field day with this^ Good night and good luck.  Meh.. I just do not know how we went from Adam Tepper>Fatal motorcycle accident> Thailand>Bad roads/bikes/luck etc ..........to Pedophilia (and no Lambie the answer is not "Bitcoin, or Bitcoiners") |

A lot of it is peoples own fault in the grand scheme of things, alcohol, drugs, bad roads, bad bikes, bad riding skills, youth, and bad decisions, does not make it any less sad though.... that being said, you can still have an accident whilst being sensible. It is still a beautiful place, and the roads are getting better (though that means people mainly foreigners, drive on them faster) It is a beautiful country though, and if you want motorcycle kicks, rent a 250 and go dirt biking up in the mountains..all the two wheel fun you could ever ask for). |
