Didn't yall know that all the powerful people or at least 99% of them in the world are somehow blood relatives?

Oh... and now you comes up with a new conspiracy theory... What is the blood relation between Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin? Or what is the blood relation between Jacob Zuma and Donald Trump?

On the other hand, if most cars with internal combustion engine get replaced with electric cars eventually, wouldn't that require burning the same fossil fuels (natural gas, before all) at power plants to produce all this huge volume of electric energy required for these cars? Nuclear power plants seem to be not very welcomed across the world (save for China, Russia and maybe a few other countries) while commercial fusion power stations are still a thing of a far too distant future. Producing electric batteries themselves also requires heaps of energy, if I'm not mistaken

OK... let me do a quick calculation.

A Tesla Model S battery pack requires some 63 kg of Lithium. And right now we have more than 1 billion cars in the world. Converting all of them to electric ones mean a need for 63 million tonnes of Lithium.

The annual production of Lithium is less than 30,000 tonnes right now.

Another important component of the battery pack is Cobalt (around 50 kg per pack). Compared to volume of Lithium supplies, that of Cobalt is even more problematic.

Diversification will help you in reducing your risk but most successful persons took risks so personally I prefer to take my chances with bitcoin, I'm not going to put all my money in bitcoin or anything like that but I will put a bigger weight behind it.

It is true that those who became successful took a lot of risks to reach there. But at the same time, you should analyze whether you are capable of undertaking such a risk. You need to calculate how much you will lose if something goes wrong, and how you will be able to move on after that.

4. Cheap electricity is one of the factor why china hold majority of mining power.

You are ignoring a very important factor here. The Chinese miners are aided not only by the cheap electricity, but also by the cheap prices for mining rigs. A mining rig, which costs $300 in the European Union, costs less than $100 in China.

That is good news for every body interested in buying bitcoins, some fools even said it would be touching 1,50,000 Rs and the global market has been keenly watching what it has to offer. Glad to see price out there are softening, so will the global prices also fall?

I don't think that the transactions in India will be having any impact on the global exchange rates. The usage in India remains limited, thanks to the draconian laws and regulations. And from what I am seeing, Bitcoin just lost an opportunity to utilize the demonetization to widen its user base in India.

So you are saying that US is in league with ISIS in directly? That is a bold statement I would say if you are an American here having your leader in fact help the terrorists in doing what they do.

More like the Americans and the ISIS having common enemies (Assad, Putin, Iran, Hezbollah.etc) and joint objectives (overthrow of the Assad regime in Syria, establishment of an Islamic Caliphate in Yemen.etc). At least some of the American politicians believe that the ISIS is a better option when compared to Assad in Syria.

Now to be recounted. So Hillary Clinton still have a chance? I think that this procedure will not be in vain. Perhaps there is some reason to do it.

If the margin was 100 or 200, then she had a chance. But the margin in Michigan is around 10,000 votes (in the other two states, it is even bigger). So there is no chance for an upset. Human error seldom causes a difference of more than 100 votes in a recount.

whatever people here are saying that doesn't change the fact that Castro is a hero and of course not all of people will agree cause this how politics work
he survived more than 600 killing attempts from the US and died at 90 , this is alone a great achievement  Smiley
 
A hero? I agree that with his death the cold war era is finally over. But what will Russia start up now that one of their allies have passed? Will they come to Trumps side now as an ally to fight ISIS?

Russia has been fighting the ISIS for the last two years. On the other hand, the Americans were indirectly helping the ISIS, by attacking the pro-government forces (the bombing of Deir Ezzor was the most brazen attempt by the US till now, to help the ISIS).

Now the Tesla cars are becoming more affordable. There is not a single big car company that does not produce its electric vehicles. I think that carbs will lose its relevance next 10 years.

May be in the next 30 years.... but definitely not in the next 10 years. Even now, the Tesla still costs at least 15 times more than a gasoline-run car with the same configuration. Very few people can afford a Tesla now.
23470  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Mr. Trump will warming of relations with Russia. on: November 27, 2016, 05:24:30 PM
I think that the fight against nuclear weapons through its distribution this is not the right approach. I hope Americans understand it. The Iranian nuclear program I think appeared due to Russia. I think the responsibility for this lies with Russia.

That goes both ways. If Russia is responsible for the Iranian nuclear program (although I doubt whether the Iranians got any technological support from Russia), then the US is responsible for the Israeli nuclear program. It was the acquisition of nuclear weapons by Israel, which triggered the Iranian nuclear weapons program.

Do you know what he did to his people? How badly he oppressed his country?

Brainwashed liberal youth everywhere think that Fidel Castro and Che Guevara are some god like figures. These idiots don't know anything about the history. They should interact with the Cuban refugees to find out what Castro did to that country.
23472  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin being used for illegal activities on: November 27, 2016, 05:17:36 PM
This is just normal because even in real money there are still many illegal activities happen like that drugs..here in my country even its illegal drugs they are still can get outside in country and i think they are using thirdparty payment methods and ways how to transfer the drugs into other country with private helicopter or airplane. and receive money back using those airplane or helicopter so in bitcoin illegal activities is just a normal the same as real fiat. .

From where you are getting such information? It is not possible to transport drugs from one country to another using a private jet or a helicopter. During the take-off and landing, the aircraft will be thoroughly checked for any illegal items. Unless you are doing this in some poor African country, the chances of success are less than 0.0000001%.

They are already buying Bitcoins at very high prices.

Seems like the spike has ended. The exchange rates in localbitcoins are down to INR 60,000 per coin (down from the peak of INR 66,000 two days ago). It still represents a premium of around 20%, but the trend is downwards.
23474  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Economic Nobel prize for Satoshi Nakamoto on: November 27, 2016, 05:12:19 PM
Right now, the Nobel prices are decided based on political consideration rather than merit. We, as Bitcoin users know the worth of the crypto-currency. And all of us are thankful to Satoshi, for creating such a currency. We don't need a certification from the Nobel council to confirm it.
23475  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you hate muslems? on: November 27, 2016, 05:09:36 PM
Yeah not all muslim are the as that that they are attaking you in your back..
Here in my country honestly before i have girl friend 3 times in muslim so i think they are just the same as normal religion but  we are just different belief's muslim here are friendly unless the other breed of muslim..

I agree that not all the Muslims are dangerous. But you should understand that 99% of the Muslims in the Western nations will vote for someone who panders for them. With their rapidly increasing population and collective bargaining rights, all of them represents a threat to the local democracies.
23476  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Economy in China? on: November 27, 2016, 05:07:54 PM
I think the Chinese like non yuan wealth, they are fans of precious metals and know their Yuan is controlled and pushed down by the government on purpose for exports, they want something the Government doesn't manually fluctuate.

The Chinese government view Bitcoin as an avenue for tax evasion. They also believe that it can be used to hide the net wealth. But they need to understand that in the current age, banning the usage is going to be more detrimental for the government. It will just push the users underground, and the government will lose the tax revenue.
23477  Other / Politics & Society / Re: French government trying to pay mud invaders to leave on: November 27, 2016, 05:03:48 PM
bullshit, half the people i do business with live in third world countries and they learnt to do coding, graphics, seo work, some make more money than i do living in the west and they didnt start with 5k or 10k in the bank either, these invader monkeys have no talent or work ethic, not the kind of people we want in europe

They are after the benefits. If they want just refuge, then why can't they seek asylum in countries such as Morocco and Algeria? Actually these two countries are very tolerant to Sub Saharan immigrants.
23478  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Green Party Votes Recount Request on: November 27, 2016, 05:01:17 PM
I think that the world community realized that Trump is not only a clown but his foolish words can really cause an international incident. Therefore the decision not to let him into the presidency.

By "world community", do you mean the Rothschild and Soros? Trump was elected by the American voters and he will be the next president of the United States. You guys don't have any right to deny him the presidency.
23479  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Hate to Russia on EU level. on: November 27, 2016, 04:58:12 PM
No one allows himself to respond to the provocations by the capture of the territory of neighboring States. Obama just showed his weakness and at some point Russia feel impunity.

Agreed. But that should apply to everyone. America must withdraw their forces from Germany and Japan first.

Also, according to your logic, Poland must hand back the territories such as Danzig - Westpreußen, Ostpreußen, Niederschlesien, and Oberschlesien to Germany. The Polish claim to these territories is even weaker than the Russian claim on Crimea.

When Poland annexed the four German provinces in 1945, they had a German population of around 95%. The native German population was expelled.

On the other hand, Crimea was a part of Russia until 1954, when it was given to Ukraine by an illegal decree. The native population remained majority Russian (right now around 70%), and despite the heavy Muslim immigration starting from 1989, the Muslim population is less than 13% right now.
23480  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Should the United Nations send inspectors to America to help Indians on: November 27, 2016, 04:51:36 PM
IMO, at least within the Indian reservation, the sovereignty should be handed to the native people. The US government and police must stay away from the reservations. The Indians can form a police force within these places, to maintain security.
