Let me help you with that. The microbial world is constantly trying to attack, parasitize, and kill you.

The moment your immune system fails, you die a slow and miserable death, with tremendous suffering. I worked in a hospital, I've seen it happen. People rot from the inside out, like corpses that are still alive. I'll spare you the details.

Some innocent children are born with a non-functional immune system, they begin to die immediately and must be kept in "bubbles" to exist at all.

If there is a god, he fucking hates us. I therefore choose to believe that there is no god.

Oh right, "real" capitalism. The kind that has never existed in reality and never will, right? The Ayn Randian utopian fantasy capitalism that exists only in your imagination? "Real" indeed...

Imagine if I said to you, "please don't use GM as an example of a REAL car company, it certainly isn't."

Or how about, "please don't use New York as an example of a REAL city, it certainly isn't."?

How seriously would you take my argument?

We dumb down everything here in the US of A, it's why our population is so easy to manipulate. After all, our owners learned from the master...

"By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise."
-Adolf Hitler

Want to learn more? Read this book. No, it wasn't written by Ayn Rand, but it's still a good read, I promise... Wait, don't go...

"In observable evidence I trust"

"In mathematical proof I trust"

Stop basing your emotional state on Bitcoin's fiat exchange value. Fiat is grossly overvalued, bitcoin is grossly undervalued, people are dumb. This will take time. Years.

Think instead of the wonderful ways the innovation of the blockchain will make our world a more peaceful and just place to live, for all human beings. Think of the immeasurable suffering that won't happen now.

If you believe this nonsense, truly you live in a bubble dreamworld totally separate from reality.

Here on Reality Ranch, only a tiny fraction of the population ever have the "freedom" (financial ability) to start their own companies. Worse still, 8 out of 10 of those businesses will fail within 18 months, often leaving their founders destitute and in debt.

In capitalism, wealth = freedom. Poverty = slavery. And since damn near all the wealth in concentrated in the hands of a tiny few, almost everyone in the society is a wage-slave. The richest 1% hoards more of USA's wealth than 9 out 10 Americans believe the top 20% should have.

“America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you’ve lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn’t belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don’t care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve.”
-Tom Morello

Sorry, I only use carrier pigeon.

It's about conscience more than wealth, although your third point is correct and important.

"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires"
-John Steinbeck, 1962

"And now the forces marshaled around the concept of the group have declared a war of extermination on that preciousness, the mind of man. By disparagement, by starvation, by repressions, forced direction, and the stunning blows of conditioning [read: schooling / indoctrination], the free, roving mind is being pursued, roped, blunted, drugged. It is a sad suicidal course our species seems to have taken."

If you have to come here and ask, you probably have nothing to offer in exchange for this wealth.

I'm so sorry, you can return to your wage-slavery station now, friend.

Yours in solidarity in compassion,

oops that last one isn't India, it's New York. My bad.

Any society, any nation, should be judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members -- the last, the least, the littlest, the most vulnerable.

Let reason be your map, and compassion your compass. Always remember that violence suffocates reason. All the rest will fall into place.

Hint: Capitalism requires vast, systematic hierarchy-based violence to exist.

"Capitalism has resolved personal worth into exchange value, and in place of the numberless indefeasible chartered freedoms, has set up that single, unconscionable freedom — Free Trade. In one word, for exploitation, veiled by religious and political illusions, it has substituted naked, shameless, direct, brutal exploitation."

Nay sir, nay I say!

Satoshi Nakamoto is clearly a brilliant Military Strategist and leader! Behold this secret message I have decoded, surely an inspiring speech for the troops!






Perhaps Satoshi Nakamoto is time-travelling Sun Tzu who was sent to our continuum by a Schrodinger experiment!

Could this be the true face of Satoshi?



Mayhap, brothers! In any case, we must HODL!

Tell your professors the internet itself is the greatest library of knowledge ever accumulated, and they need to get over the physical book fetish and step into the information age like the rest of us.

If they continue to insist of that obsolete form of knowledge known as a "book", tell them they're an irrelevant old dinosaur and also fat, and that you always secretly hated him/her. Then go to your college ombudsman and claim they sexually harassed you. Should work if girl.

If you're not a girl, give him this book:



See how much more fun this is than reading a book?

Take your favorite book.

Now pick your favorite 3 chapters from that book.

Pick a number from 1-10.

If your number is 4, go to the fourth page in each of your 3 selected chapters. Take the first letter of each word from that page, in the order in which the appear.

That's a good brain wallet.

Why do you feel the need to disrespect Satoshi's desire for anonymity? Was his/her/their gift to the world not enough to satisfy you?

Do you always shit all over those who have done you a huge favor and asked almost nothing in return?

Took the words right out of my mouth. Well said.

No.

No human being should face the indignity of a life suffering as a wage-slave. That is cruel and usual punishment.

1 BTC = $500 = not enough capital to safely multiply your wealth. Just hold onto it until it's worth (much) more, or some bigger capitalist fish will probably eat you for dinner.

If you only have 1 BTC to your name (and no other fiat wealth), you're poor. Sorry.  Your lot in life is wage-slavery, unless you're willing to make high profits by taking high risks (selling your body for sex or turning criminal).

Wage-slavery sucks, we all know, we all share your pain. The misery of your daily work life is why everyone wants to be rich.

Remember that it is capitalism that has made you feel this way, this resentment, this anger, this desperation and envy. Remember that you have owners, the owner of your company, who profits daily from the fruit of your labor.
