A digital currency minted and regulated by the government is just another form of the fiat currency. How is it going to be any different from other digital forms of payment, such as Paypal, Skrill, Payza, and Payoneer?

A large part of the revenues for porn-site owners come from automatic renewal of subscription. With Bitcoin, this is not possible. And that is one of the reasons why the owners prefer credit cards to BTC.
For the site in my signature is no difference, how the member will pay for services, with CC or BTC. There is no subscription. So there is no renewal of subscription in your website? I know what many of the online streaming sites use one-time payment. In such cases using a credit card will not give them any advantage.

Show me some official data of this "agression". If you need the "official data", the you can refer the website of the Ukrainian ministry of propaganda (now known as the Ministry of Information Policy of Ukraine). Propaganda is available in all the major world languages (including Cherokee, Ojibwa, Enindhilyagwa, and Olyuben), and you can listen to it in your native language.

The Crimea is Ukraine, and until Russia will not return control of Crimea to Ukraine there will be no opportunity for people's lives. Now there can live only pensioners and the military.
Crimea was Ukrainian occupied territory from 1954 to 2014, before the invaders were kicked out two years ago. The living standards have improved since then. On the other hand, what is left of Ukraine has become a down-trodden third world nation, even worse than Somalia.

I think this is the start of a really dirty war that is coming soon. Maybe in the new year. ![Lips sealed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/lipsrsealed.gif) The war started in 2012, and it is still ongoing. What you mean by "it is coming soon"? I don't know how this conflict can deteriorate even further. Half a million are dead, around ten million have been made refugees, and most of the super-powers (including Russia, United States, and France) are involved in one side or the other. I meant the relgious war that will end all wars. Syria and Turkey have 90% of their population as muslims if not more. All out war on America and anyone else who opposes them. ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif) I could foresee a major religious conflict between the Christians and the Muslims occurring in the distant future (maybe after 2030, or even after 2040). Turkey and Saudi Arabia are going to be the major players from the Muslim side, with Russia and United States leading the Christian side. Europe, Africa, and India would me Muslim majority by then.

The first time I saw this guy, I knew that he was a fraud. He was elected just because the Canadian women and the homosexuals find him attractive (just like the voters in the US elected Obama in 2008, because he was black).

They are willing to work hard at work and receive a small salary to survive
If the immigrants are willing to work for $2 per day, then the billionaires such as Gina Rinehart will be extremely happy. But the native blue-collar workers will find themselves either unemployed, or their wages halved.

It's all PR. Some stars have received Russian citizenship. They're prostitutes and sold to Putin for the money, but none of them lives in Russia. USA is one of the best countries in the world and therefore nobody's going anywhere.
You are Ukrainian right? I can see why you are so butt-hurt? Every month, I see a number of Westerners, applying for the Russian passport. But never heard anyone ever preferring an Ukrainian passport. That said, the Ukrainians are dreaming that very soon the EU will grant them right to work. Keep dreaming... as it is never going to happen. The EU wants only Syrians and Iraqis.

Russian hacking and changing the election?
To mr Obama if you and the C.I.A have any proof could you please show it to Trey Gowdy and Jason Chaffetz please?.. Then if they say he as cheated then he shouldn't be president? If there was no cheating during the POTUS election, then Trump would have won both the electoral vote, as well as the popular vote. Right now, he is some 2 million behind in the popular vote, and my guess is that he will be leading Clinton by some 2 million if you nullify all those illegals and felons who voted for Hillary Clinton.

As a non-Christian, Christmas holds no significance for me. I live in a country where less than 4% of the total population is Christian. Yet, I see them exerting a disproportionate influence in politics and society.

lets just migrate to another planet that has oxygen and probably that will be Mars.
An atmosphere like that exists in the earth is not found in any of the exoplanets in this universe. But a large part of the universe is yet to be explored. I just hope that one day someone will discover a planet, which is similar to the earth.

I'll take some bacon over human anyday dude. But trap me on a mountain with just you and I'll be looking for a rock to beat you over the head with so I can chomp down on your fatty ass. There are more than 7 billion humans in the world, and our planet is getting more and more over-populated every day. Eating humans will reduce the human population, and thereby relieve some of the stress on the planet.

Do you mean Europe or the EU - don't forget that Russia is a European country, but not a member of the EU. The EU is trying to suck in some non-European countries to try to prop up the moribund DoucheBank. Hopefully we ( the UK ) can get out of the EU fairly fast, and start to rebuild our economy after the destruction and theft that resulted from membership of the EU.
The EU was only started as a stage in the path to globalism, and to reduce the cost of German exports. Now that the world is turning away from globalism, the EU should be broken up quickly to allow it member "states" to rebuild their countries.
He probably meant the European Union, which is slowly disintegrating as we debate about its future. I don't know about the future of the United Kingdom.... Merkel want the UK to adopt freedom of movement... that nullifies the very purpose of Brexit.

I never see that gold can be hidden safely. Because gold is the physical goods and where we store it will definitely be with easy to find, because in terms of physical gold is visible and in terms of the elements forming the gold we can search for it with the tools that are already berbedar. And for bitcoin then I think it is not yet possible to confiscate, as are digital and the FBI bitcoin can not enter into the system because it contains no bitcoin can enter
There are risks associated with both of them. Since gold is a physical asset, someone can steal it after over-powering the owner. But for stealing Bitcoins, the thief needs not be present at the site. He can steal them online, if he manages to hack in to the private key.

But I agree with you that use bitcoin give more control and freedom, government cannot confiscate it.
There are exceptions. Gold bullion is quite easy to hide, and this makes it hard for the government to confiscate it. It is also very hard to confiscate Bitcoins, but there have been well known incidents when that happened. An example is the FBI confiscating Ross Ulbricht's coins from the Silk Road.

India is not the only one country in the world that the peoples is not familiar with bitcoin. Indians are not that unfamiliar to Bitcoin. Check the Indian section of Localbitcoins, and you will be surprised to see hundreds of users online at any given point of time. Also, there are a lot of Bitcoin-based businesses operating out of India. Indian are obviously not unknown to Bitcoin, but amount o users is quite less. Moreover very few peoples are interested about Bitcoin. Many people are familiar to this currency but their fear or lack of proper information holds them back from using it. Also the exchangers charge quite more INR than the actual market rate. The situation is the same in most of the other countries, such as China and Brazil. Bitcoin is not very familiar to the general population. But there remains a small core of Bitcoin users, who have kept the sector alive in these countries.

Yeah, I think that one of the most important aspects of cryptocurrency is the anonymous or at least pseudonymous side of it. You do not have to pay with your credit card and get billed by a porn site. That would look really bad if your wife finds out.
Also, a lot of discount porn accounts out there on sale for bitcoins, and on this forum too.
A large part of the revenues for porn-site owners come from automatic renewal of subscription. With Bitcoin, this is not possible. And that is one of the reasons why the owners prefer credit cards to BTC.

Very effective anti-virus packages are available for as little as $10 (purchased one just last month from Amazon). Yet, the San Francisco Metro decided that they are too expensive. I guess now they are too happy to pay 7,000x that amount.

I bought long time ago in Agora, no problem at all.
If you are telling the truth, then you should not post it here. Some countries are having really crazy laws regarding the purchase of illegal drugs. In countries such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia, you will be beheaded if you are convicted of drug purchase.
