Lol, as far as water powered cars go, anyone who does not know the basics of chemistry just needs to Shut The Fuck Up.

It doesn't matter what desert or jungle they may be in.

It doesn't even need the basics of chemistry. Having an IQ of 40 or above is enough to understand that these "water-powered vehicles" are a scam. I wonder why the media is giving so much attention.

Gold is rare, BUT bitcoin is more rarer than gold.

How do you reach that conclusion? I don't consider Bitcoin as "rare". If you have a reliable supply of electricity and a good mining rig, then you can mine Bitcoins from your home as well. But for mining gold, you need to travel to far away places.

So you basically mean to say that the electric cars are still in far too distant future, right? Besides, it is more interesting to note that, per Wiki, the identified reserves worldwide of lithium were estimated to be only 13 million tonnes in 2008. So unless lithium gets replaced with something else, we might never live up to that bright future of electric cars crowding out regular ones...

The annual production of lithium seems to be a little bit higher than your figure (~600,000 tonnes)

Though this doesn't quite add up with the lithium worldwide reserves

I am not sure about the production figures. As per the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the annual production of Lithium was 31,700 tonnes in 2014, and around 32,500 tonnes in 2015. The reserves, according to the USGS amount to some 14 million tonnes.

There are alternatives to Lithium. But none of them have the same KWh/Kg storage capacity as Lithium is having.

There must be some huge arbitrage opportunity to be exploited here. I mean 13% is not bad at all, take away 3% for fees and 3% for currency exchange fees... You're still pocketing 7% per trade.

Is there some sort of restriction that doesn't allow the outflow of rupees in the country ATM? I don't think so.

It is not as easy as it sounds. Physical cash is in short supply. If you are selling Bitcoins, then you have to accept bank transfer in return. And right now, the RBI is monitoring all the transactions above a certain threshold.

Here are a few links, for you:

This is good investion because oil price is getting high.

No. The crude oil price has declined by more than 50% during the past two years.

So we need an alternative to save some money through this investion. Hope this kind of invention spreads all over the world so no one will buy oil specialy to those country with high prices of oil. Philippines has the expensive oil selling and i think this could be the solution.

Do you want to pay $1 for every 10 to 15 km of travel (using a gasoline-run car), or do you want to pay $10 to $15 for every 1 km of travel (using this hydrogen-run vehicle)?
23447  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Economy in China? on: November 28, 2016, 08:09:56 AM
China advantage is very cheap/free power. So they can easily earn better than rest of the world on mining.
Other than that, goverment is hard to predict, i mean its oppressive goverment, it can in one day ban bitcoin. Anyway it will be available in 250 other countries Wink which will take over mining in months.

Cheap power is available in other countries as well, such as Iceland and Norway. But Bitcoin mining is not a big thing in these regions. The reason why Bitcoin mining has progressed so much in China is because of the lower labor costs and due to the low prices for hardware.
23448  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: India is Paying $900+ for Bitcoin Amid Cash Crisis on: November 28, 2016, 08:06:21 AM
Various news describes it as an worst planning made by a prime minister. Another thing he had asked to have patience for 50 days. Every problem will be sorted but economist say that's impossible. Now the price of bitcoin in Indian market is decreasing slowly which means the situation is getting better than the starting.

The RBI has started the distribution of the ‎₹500 banknote, which has helped to keep the situation under control. It is true that the planning was bad. But now the situation is getting better and even the stock markets are going up.

Just read this. This sounds crazy, wouldn't this destabilize their entire economy ? Haven't other countries already implemented this in the past and have failed ? I can't see why an economist in the right mind would take this step.

Yes, even the great Amartya Sen, a Noble Laureate from India in economy has greatly critisized this move by stating, "To achieve something good, sometimes bad things happen before good, but it doesnt necessarily mean that all bad things are for the greater good."

Amartya Sen is a communist stooge, who got the Nobel prize purely due to political considerations. According to the opinion polls conducted by independent agencies, anywhere from 80% to 90% of the Indian population supports the demonetization drive.

Another scam. It takes far more electricity to split water to Hydrogen and Oxygen, than using it on an electric car. Electric cars consume electricity at a rate of around 0.25 KWh per km (Tesla Model S gives a mileage of 6.25 km per KWh). On the other hand, around 10 KWh per km will be required for these Hydrogen-powered cars.
23451  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Hate to Russia on EU level. on: November 28, 2016, 06:57:48 AM
You forgot in this long list to mention Konigsberg, the Kuril Islands. If you now start to find out who and what someone needs then it can lead to a world war. The boundaries must be approved by those that the state had upon registration with the UN.

If Poland is OK with the return of the East Prussia, Silesia, and Pomerania, then I believe that Russia should give back Konigsberg. And regarding the Kuril Islands, they were under the Japanese occupation for a relatively short period of time. The original occupants were the Ainu. And the ethnic Ainu now lives in both Russia and Japan. Let them decide about which country they want to be a part of.
23452  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Green Party Votes Recount Request on: November 28, 2016, 06:55:02 AM
I think that the green party was used in this dirty story. Nevertheless, if it will help to remove Trump from the government I support it. Trump should not be President at any cost.

He has already been elected as the president. Now deal with it.  Grin

In the elections, there can be only one winner. And the sad part is that the candidate whom you supported lost the elections. Now I would advice you to admit the loss, and move on.
23453  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Ethnic cleansing in Donbass 360 Degree Tour on: November 28, 2016, 06:50:49 AM
The Kiev junta has been hit hard by the election of Trump as the POTUS. So before he takes charge in January 2017, you can expect all sort of provocations from the neo-Nazi paramilitaries and their backers in Kiev.
You wait until January, and then will talk. Republicans have always been more militant than the Democrats. I don't think. what Trump is a great friend of Ukraine, but the fact that he will not find understanding with Russia that's for sure and it may be on the hands of Ukraine.

Yeah... I can wait until January. Still, I am surprised that Trump has suddenly became a "friend of Ukraine". Until November 8, all the Kiev propaganda channels were showering abuses on him.  Grin

We immediately see that you are from Russia.

LOL. This is a real case of schizofrenia.
How much personalities are living in Your Head?

Just ignore that guy. For him, anyone who oppose his views are Russians. And that includes me, who doesn't know a word of Russian.  Grin

Mr. Shariy become a exile in EU for conducting investigative journalism troubles under Jew-Bendera Kiev Illegal Government.

He was wise and he chose the better option. At least he will stay alive, unlike his colleagues such as Oles Buzyna, Anatoly Klyan, and Serhiy Nikolayev who were killed by the Kiev junta.
23455  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Should the United Nations send inspectors to America to help Indians on: November 28, 2016, 06:39:38 AM
In the USA there is tribal police. The problem is, they report to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (a federal govt agency) and are supervised and usurped by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. If a city cop finds a murder and the FBI wants to handle it they just tell the city cops to go away. Same thing with tribal police. Their powers are limited to non federal crimes. They're more like meter maids issuing tickets than cops.

From what I have heard, the tribal police has near-zero power. Even if a violent crime (such as murder or rape) occurs inside the reservation, the tribal police can arrest the perpetrator only if both the victim and the perpetrator is Indian. Else, they must call in the state police.
23456  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do people hate islam? on: November 28, 2016, 06:35:42 AM
I do not understand why Europe has allowed them in such quantities?

Perhaps the Europeans suffer from masochism. Exposure to an insane amount of leftist-liberal propaganda can suppress rational thinking, and can encourage suicidal tendencies. Importing the terrorists is a part of the suicidal behavior.
23457  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you hate muslems? on: November 28, 2016, 06:32:05 AM
Why are these freaks still feed with our taxes? Shoot them all and everything. In 20 years he will be released and what will change? Such will not change anything! Why terrorist attacks so much because of the not destroyed?

Do you know why there are frequent terrorist attacks in the European Union (where the Muslim population is around 2%), and there are virtually none in the Russian Federation (Muslim population of 6%)? The Russian authorities destroyed the terrorist units without any mercy after the Beslan attacks. After that, there are no major attacks. On the other hand, the EU nations are going forward with their Muslim appeasement policies, emboldening the terrorists.
23458  Other / Politics & Society / Re: TRUMP WINS on: November 28, 2016, 06:28:25 AM
Just a small doubt... Are the democrats going to find uncounted votes in car trunks and trash bins, just like they "miraculously" found them during the recount during the Franken vs Coleman race (United States Senate election in Minnesota, 2008)?

Really wow how drug can be free in some place heheeh that is really funny it is not a joke  Grin Grin i really cant understand why to give to own citizents a free drug but drug isnt good for body because it damage it really hard and destroying forever better dont use drug rally weird pupils omg.

Not all the drugs are harmful to the body. For example, the benefits of consuming Marijuana outweigh the negative side-effects resulting from its intake. At least it is much more beneficial than the legal stuff, such as alcohol and tobacco.
23460  Other / Politics & Society / Re: François Fillon is a friend of Russia on: November 28, 2016, 06:23:56 AM
So it is assured that the next French president will not be a Russophobe, unlike François Hollande. Both François Fillon and Marine Le Pen are opposed to the anti-Russian sanctions. That means that if either of them wins, then Merkel is likely to face a lot of resistance.
