Even if you use Bitcoins directly (for supermarket purchases, utility bills, buying gasoline.etc), it can be taxed. The government can just ask the retail chain to impose a surcharge on the Bitcoin payments. So if you are paying with BTC, there will be a 2% or 3% surcharge, and this amount will go to the government as tax.
Interesting point dude.
Some governments and countries recognize Bitcoin but they make a regulations that they will benefit it like inputting taxes from exchanges.
that's right they are panning to put taxes with exchange so they can benefits with btc, might be much better instead of banning bitcoin we should be happy if government will place some actions to make some earnings too like taxing local exchange in our respective countries in this way adoption or recognizing bitcoin will be much possible in every nations.
If bitcoin will be used in unlawful transactions, the major governments will be forced to either make all for the ban.

If a majority of the coins are used for illegal transactions, then I will agree. But if just 1% or 2% of the total coins in circulation are used for illegal purposes, will you support the ban on bitcoin? It is not fair.

If you have the right skills, then you can earn decent amounts of money in the third world nations also.


You can even earn a considerable amount per month, but the problems that these third world countries have makes their money become nothing,

In my country has bumpy roads, has water problems, energy problems and poor quality health system, lack equipment for everything.

Why the hell would someone living in the US come out and live in a country like mine? I would honestly call that person crazy.

I see some American citizens coming to live here and I can not understand why?

Actually, it is not that hard to comprehend. In the US, if you are living in a metro city such as New York or Los Angeles, even if you are earning around $5,000 per month, that may not be enough to cover the expenses. On the other hand, if you are living in a developed nation such as Thailand or Costa Rica, your monthly expenses will rarely cross $2,000. The remainder can be saved for future use.
21843  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The end of Western civilization on: February 26, 2017, 05:51:00 AM
Oh nice this film is really interesting,it shows one part of true western civilization is really failing this years.I like films like this and every other type of films especially horor movies.

I would use the word "horrifying" rather than "interesting". The death of the Western civilization is bad news. And it will be even worse, if it is replaced with a Caliphate which work as per the stone-age customs.

Not sure Caliphate will replace Western civilization.
I don't think the main enemy is the Muslim world, they're too weak. It's like the French (Gaulois, don't know the English word for that sorry), Romans focused on them for long but the real enemy was behind!

What the Muslim world lacks in technology, they makes up for that in manpower. As per the Islamic traditions, there are two types of Jihad. The first one is direct Jihad. In this, non-Muslims are raped and murdered, so that a part of the "infidels" accept Islam, others are reduced to slave labor and the remaining flee to other non-Muslim lands. Indirect Jihad is different. The followers will target vulnerable children of the infidels with drugs and alcohol, and simultaneously increase their population through demographic jihad. A perfect example is here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotherham_child_sexual_exploitation_scandal

Sorry but your answer is reaaaaaaaaaaaally stupid :/

You're actually saying that Muslims are in fact organized in order to takeover our countries through immigration? ><

Immigration is a part of the tactic. Infidel nations will be converted to the Caliphate in three ways:

1. Immigration of Muslims to the infidel nation
2. Conversion of infidel women to Islam
3. Demograohic Jihad by the Muslim women

Drinking alcohol is no good at all .its just a waste of money .and i even ask myself why the hell alcohol drinking was started ? It is so stupid . Even when i drank wine or any other drinks it didnt effect me in any way .

Alcohol is just another food item. And don't call it a waste of money. If you call alcohol as a waste of money today, then tomorrow you will say that caviar, foie gras, and Beaufort cheese are a waste of money.
21845  Other / Politics & Society / Re: World War III ? on: February 26, 2017, 05:43:03 AM
War is terrible. However, I think we are already seeing a different kind of WWIII playing out. Its not happening with guns and tanks, but its happening on the internet. Cyber warfare is being engaged on a daily basis between countries. In addition, there are countless proxy wars taking place around the world. I don't expect a full on war between superpowers because of the fact that nuclear weapons now exist. They would pretty much destroy each other and there will be no winners.

Cyber warfare is perhaps better than the real warfare. Till now, no lives have been lost as a result of cyber warfare. Also, the cyber warfare targets politicians as well as soldiers, unlike the physical war where the politicians are safe.

That's not exactly the naturalization process, it's the refugee issue.  The backlog is for court hearings.  Call yourself a refugee, then you get a court hearing, but guess what?  You and your friends just overloaded the court system.  So they give you a couple years to stick around.  That's the Saul Alinsky tactic.

That's not the normal process of applying for citizenship at all.  And like anyone from Mexico is going to get "refugee status."

Hmm.. I never thought that it was possible for illegal aliens (or anyone who came to the US or overstayed there illegally) to apply for the refugee status. Along with the birthright citizenship, this loophole also must be eliminated.
21847  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do you think Trumps supporters still love him? on: February 26, 2017, 05:31:52 AM
I dont there were any trump supporters at all .the way he is trying to execute everything in hos own , i personally dont support him at all .not all immigrants are bad and u are opposing it in such a way would bbbbe horrible.

Trump never said that all the immigrants, especially the legal ones are bad. He is only acting against the illegal aliens, and those who hail from certain countries such as Yemen and Syria, who are more prone to terrorist links.
21848  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The anti-Putin paranoia. on: February 26, 2017, 05:25:50 AM
Putin is not our friend, to say the least.

Perhaps that is true. But I don't think that he is the enemy as well. The real enemy for the European civilization is the hordes of immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa. Russia and Putin is not a threat to the European culture.
If Putin isn't enemy for Europe, why he is keeping huge army forces in Kaliningrad - it's most militarized region of Russia. Their military exercise Zapad 2017 can be one of the preparations how to cut off land road to Baltic states, so called Suwalki koridor.

Kaliningrad is a Russian enclave surrounded by hostile forces on all sides. And in addition to that, the NATO has conducted multiple military exercises close to the Kaliningrad border. Russia is doing the right thing by defending the enclave.

Buzzfeed is pure cancer. CNN and BBC lost their value in my eyes, and I believe in a lot of people too. I was reading through some CNN headlines and boy oh boy is it stupid... They'll twist everything, it's gotten out of hand. You can't compare Trumps media situation with Hitlers or Stalins, it's a completely different thing.

Do you remember the CNN putting a Halo over Hillary's head?



Trump just gave them what they deserved. Now they can cry and whine about it for another four long years.
21850  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Can Marine Le Pen win? on: February 26, 2017, 05:19:32 AM
After what already happened, I wouldn't be surprised if Le Pen would win president elections. First off all - Brexit - mostly experts said that it won't happen, but british people voted for it. Similar story on USA president elections.
Le Pen don't have big chances to win elections. But I don't trust in polls anymore - it often don't reflects real situation.

In the US presidential elections, the opinion polls had it very close. According to the polls, Hillary had a lead of only around 2% or 3% during the last week of the elections. But in France it is different. The other candidates are polling around 20 points more than Le Pen in the second round.
21851  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are all american racists? Do they hate all outsiders/immigrants? on: February 26, 2017, 05:14:45 AM
What about Japan? The most xenophobic country there is and judging by their standards and economy, they don't look like a developing country. Racism is mostly culture and results of dispute that cause racism or xenophobia...

The Japanese are not xenophobic. They are just weird. It is another thing that their country is extremely homogeneous and they don't want any immigrants from the third world nations. But then, other than the Western nations, none of the countries have a pro-immigrant stance.

I wanted to find people eating others, let me try to give lessons to the person and hand them over to the authorities because he had committed many human rights violations.

If you are marooned in some desert island, and you are forced to eat meat from a dead human body in order to survive, then I don't think that the authorities will be able to prosecute you.
21853  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trump on his last leg? on: February 25, 2017, 03:56:40 PM
Uh.
You get US citizenship easily in 1-2 years if you work in certain sectors or you invest 100k $ in an US venture (it depends on your origin too - people from the UK, Canada or germany will have it much easier as some nepalese or sub sahara african).

No. It doesn't depend on your origin. It doesn't matter if you are from Somalia or Iceland. The visas are given irrespective of the nationality. And the amount is not $100K. The EB5 visa requires a minimum investment of $500,000 to $1,000,000 (depending on the jurisdiction). There are other requirements as well, such as the creation of jobs for a minimum of 10 US nationals.

What's the reason that they surrendered their passports? Maybe they like Snowden? I think you need to be a complete idiot to take an American passport. In General, where we have good. We used to see only the America that is shown in movies. We do not see abandoned towns and cities from the trailers.

You should remember that all the American citizens need to pay income tax irrespective of their residential status. So if someone is working in Ireland or Germany, first he needs to pay the local income tax, and then the American federal income tax. This double taxation is creating a lot of problems for the American citizens, and a lot of them are opting to surrender their citizenship.

Marie Le pen refused to go for interrogation to the Prosecutor's office. Said busy with elections and will only come after the second round. Probably wants to hide behind presidential immunity. If anyone has influence the world to be a very promising direction. Maybe she want to give the opportunity to win elections to then manage it under threat of impeachment.

Anyone who is capable of thinking logically, will come to the conclusion that the charges against Marine Le Pen are cooked up. She did the right thing by refusing to testify at the Prosecutor's office.

It's interesting how we here in EU(Serbia) and US see beer differently. Reading the OPs post, I got a feel like he's talking about a recreation drug. But yeah, everything is good in moderation, I don't like getting drunk and prefer coffee over alcohol but from time to time I really need a nice cold glass of dark beer.

Me too prefer coffee over alcohol. Whenever I need energy, I drink coffee (or rarely either Red Bull or Monster Energy). But when I need to relax, I drink beer (in moderate amounts, around 1,000 ml to 1,500 ml a time).

It seems to me that to live in third world countries good only when to make money going in America. Moving of America is more of a PR move. I doubt very much that someone to decide on it.

It is not a PR move. In 2016, more than 5,000 people had their American citizenship revoked, and almost all of them gave up their passport voluntarily. In 2015, this number was only around 1,000.

But you can never know, to be fair I would love to see a final turn with Melanchon and Lepen

There is no chance of that happening. Jean-Luc Mélenchon has suffered a sharp drop in his ratings. As per the latest opinion polls, he enjoys less than 10% support, with the other mainstream candidates far ahead of him.

Really?
Last update I saw about him was around 18% so a rather good amount for a far left candidate!

Can't say much though, I don't really see the "normal" candidates getting more than 10%. Who in his right mind would vote for something like Fillon or Macron?

Anyone with a brain will have to chose between extreme left and extreme right. The middle is just a bunch of sold bitches. We should all behead them.

Check this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_French_presidential_election,_2017

All the recent polls have him at around 11% - 12%. The other candidates are far ahead, with Le Pen polling somewhere between 25% and 27%, and Emmanuel Macron and François Fillon, both struggling at around 20%.
