Coulda sworn the big J.C. was referred to as Lucifer at least once in some form of the epic.

Great video, thank you for posting it.  Cleared up quite a number of things for me.

Wow 71 and older   That's amazing.  Seems most people are in their 30's.  I know at least one person on this site is 14.  That's a huge range of peoples.

After a few months of hiatus, I finally returned to my novel and realized IT SUCKED

So I started over and now I'm pretty pumped because I'm filling up a load of plotholes I hadn't noticed back when I wrote it.  Story's much more fluid now.

It's not really BTC related, but I am planning on selling it for BTC when I do get done with it, so there's that

Rule #1: Trust no one.  Use escrow.

Pretty much this.  There's a lot of different news sources out there reporting on Bitcoin, and they all wind up here someway or another.

You're a Jr. member   No longer a newb.

Not without 4 hours of online time.

Yes.  Bitcoin's not going to last forever, but it can become something else which can keep living.  The reason the human race lasted for longer than 100 years is because we can keep making improved copies of ourselves   Except in this case, it's intentional technological advancement, as opposed to the random, passive process of evolution.

If there's anything I remember from my high school economics class, it was my teacher saying something about, if the whole world starts asking America for its money back, and since America has so many debts it can never do that, the world's going to hell.

Can't wait to see what happens next   Here's hoping I don't die from it.

It's time to turn the idiot filter on

I never understood prices on eBay.  There's plenty of sane prices, but then you'll find certain things, like iPhones, being sold for thousands above what everyone else is selling them for.  It's like they think someone will be dumb enough to buy something for that high.  Wouldn't be surprised if it's happened, tho.

Intents and purposes

For what it's worth, I try to avoid cussing myself.
Unless I gotta.  But I make sure there's no kids around i.e. a website where kids shouldn't be.
Can I still say "crap" tho?
Kind of cursing but not really that bad...

Ehh two different concepts; philosophy is the pursuit of knowledge, whereas philosophical beliefs are the fruit of philosophers--the after product.  A philosopher doesn't necessarily have to subscribe to any or even most philosophical beliefs; I'm not sure if this is possible without contradicting oneself.  With that said, someone who earned a degree in philosophy is only guaranteed to understand a variety of philosophical beliefs.  A real philosopher is not one who pursues such a degree, but one who asks questions and follows answers to the end.  On the other side of this concept, a philosopher may have knowledge of common philosophical beliefs, but is guaranteed to be equipped with their own interpretations of life, which will happen to coincide with others, as opposed to someone who is largely aware of philosophical concepts but spends more time learning that than asking their own questions.

Only thing I've gathered from this thread is that people are bonkers all over the world.

Haven't heard of this one; I'll definitely check it out!


+1  Same here!  I can officially say I ain't stupid no mores 

My advice is to not use eBay or PayPal   Use an exchange.

Yeah I don't really understand this.  The only way PayPal can improve Bitcoin is to enable the less tech-savvy of us to use their Bitcoin without worrying about a wallet (with the downside of having to put up with PizzlePazzle's shenanigans.)  Sadly, I'm certain a whole lot of folks will get suckered into using PayPal with Bitcoin.
