Oh Japan again.Japan is in the Pacific ring of fire we didn't know if earthquake and tsunami happen again.Stay safe in Japan

The Japanese technology is capable of minimizing the casualties and damage. Anywhere else in the world, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.9 would have caused thousands of deaths. But in Japan, this earthquake only resulted in a few minor injuries. The 2011 earthquake was different. It was an extremely large magnitude event.

It was a false-flag. The recent earthquake was a very mild one, with a magnitude of 6.9 (for comparison, the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake had a magnitude of 9.1). Also, remember that the (Richter) magnitude scale is logarithmic. An earthquake with magnitude of 9.0 will be 1,000 times more powerful than one with a magnitude of 7.0.
Japan has to use nuclear power and there's nothing you can do. Is an island country and energy until they get a match. I think that they will always look for other sources of energy, but it will not be soon.

What is wrong with nuclear energy? It is one of the safest, cheapest and cleanest forms of energy available (i.e if the proper safety precautions are followed). At least they are much safer than the coal-fired thermal power plants. Every year, close to 1 million people die as a result of the pollution from the thermal power plants.

And if you eat you? I do not even understand jokes on this topic. My grandmother survived the famine and saw how people ate their sick children to save other children. It's awful!

Reminds me of the movie Hannibal Rising, starring Gaspard Ulliel and Gong Li. In that movie, 8-year old Hannibal is forced to eat his sister's corpse to stay alive. It is OK in the movies... but can't even imagine about it in real life....
23504  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Mr. Trump will warming of relations with Russia. on: November 23, 2016, 07:24:37 AM
Trump seems to be having commonsense. Russia is not a big threat to the United States. The biggest threats are the ISIS and China. Unfortunately, a decade of anti-Russian policies by the American establishment politicians have driven Russia towards China's orbit.
23505  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Hate to Russia on EU level. on: November 23, 2016, 07:22:43 AM
The Russophobes are losing their battle. In the US, Trump won the elections against the Russophobe Hillary. In Moldova and Bulgaria, pro-Russian politicians won the presidential elections. In Estonia, a pro-Russian party was included in the governing coalition for the first time ever. And in Germany, the anti-Russian Merkel is sliding towards oblivion.
23506  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trump on his last leg? on: November 23, 2016, 07:20:25 AM
This thread title would have been better for Hillary. She's like dying.

LOL... she died the day the election results came out. Before the elections, she was behaving as if she had some divine right to become the POTUS. In the end, her arrogance and rudeness caused her downfall.

Something similar has been going on in some of the British cities (especially in London and Oldham) for the past several years. It is ironic, and at the same time funny. Idiotic Western Europeans funding and sponsoring their own genocide. Low IQ people doesn't deserve a place in our planet. The sooner these countries become Islamic emirates, that better.

Dead drug dealer and a junkie can not sell or do drugs.

So if there are 100,000 drug dealers and 2 million junkies in Philippines, you are going to kill all of them? Even if you do that, it will be of no use. Every year, new users get addicted to various soft and hard drugs. These 2 million will be replaced in a short time span.

This leads to the fact that if they had not gone to the doctor, they probably would have lived longer. Read the articles at Natural News.

Cool

There are tribal societies in South America and Oceania, which are isolated from the civilization. There is no modern medicine available to these people. Yet, the average life-expectancy is somewhere around 25 years. Compare that to the life expectancy of 85 years in Japan. Still you believe that modern medicine causes a decrease in the life expectancy?

If Trump actually wins the elections on Tuesday, it will be a huge blow to the mainstream media. Never before the MSM has openly favored a political candidate, as they did with Hillary. Also, if Trump manages to win any of the deep-blue states (such as Pennsylvania, Virginia, Michigan, and New Mexico), then the pollsters will lose all their credibility.

questionnaires never guarantee that there will be exactly as they were told. But of course if you win Trump many will be shocked. We just have to wait

In states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, the difference between the actual results and the opinion poll figures were almost 2-3 times the error margin. The pollsters have lost their credibility.
23511  Other / Politics & Society / Re: A Message from President-Elect Donald J. Trump on: November 23, 2016, 07:05:17 AM
I think he's moderating in his speech. I still have not heard him talk about the wall on the Mexican border.

It may not be a move to moderate his views. He might have just realized that increasing the security along the border and deporting illegal aliens are more viable alternatives when compared to building the wall.

I think this current hypeo f the american markets and the us dollar is going to end as soon as Trump enters office and starts actually taking decisions that can have impact on the geopolitical situation. The markets are blinded by the fact that the world did in fact not end after Trump got elected, but they are forgetting he will take controversial decisions an it will have an impact, it's then when BTC will shine.

Even today he was talking about scrapping the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. It is going to negatively impact the market. The American corporations will be losing billions of USD, of the deal is cancelled.
23513  Economy / Speculation / Re: The adoption boom is coming on: November 22, 2016, 07:07:05 PM
Mainstream adoption is coming, get coins now while you still can
Once the whales move in, whole  coins will be too expensive for the average user  ( $10k+)  and people will deal in Mbits or maybe even satoshis...

Yup I could wish business whales like Microsoft, HP,Walmart and more companies should accept bitcoins. These kind of will definitely make good change around the world for bitcoin market.

I really doubt whether these companies will be willing to accept Bitcoin as a mode of payment, as many of them are having tie-ups with the big banks and VISA/MASTER. There is going to be a lot of resistance in recognizing Bitcoins.
23514  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: advantages of bitcoin on: November 22, 2016, 07:03:40 PM
Advantages over physical cash:

1. Easier to carry, and to transact.
2. No risk from central bank devaluation.
3. Lower risk of robbery.

Advantages over credit cards:

1. Lower transaction charges.
2. No hidden fees.
3. Anonymity.
23515  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying Drugs with Bitcoin ? on: November 22, 2016, 06:58:28 PM
forget about bitcoin to buy drugs, go for pot  Roll Eyes
being serious, there are better options now. no need to mix coins, just go for some anon coin like xmr/shadow/nav

Most of the dark markets accept only Bitcoin. A few of them may accept Litecoin or Ethereum. But I don't think that any of them accept these little known altcoins suhc as XMR and NAV. So it is not possible to buy anything with these coins.
23516  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if POKEMON GO let people earn Bitcoin? on: November 22, 2016, 06:51:59 PM
I don't think that it is possible to distribute Bitcoins to all the Pokemon Go users. In the United States alone, there are more than 45 million active users of Pokemon Go. Even if we take a conservative estimate of 100 million world-wide, there are not enough BTCs to make everyone happy.
23517  Other / Off-topic / Re: if you have the 10 BTC where you want to spend it on: November 22, 2016, 06:48:41 PM
If I get BTC10, then I will hold them until the exchange rate reach $10,000 per coin. If the target is achieved, then I will convert a part of my BTC holdings to fiat cash (not sure about the amount right now). Once I convert them to cash, I will spend the money to purchase a house.
23518  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin help poor countries? on: November 22, 2016, 06:45:58 PM
Not just hard working people, in order to help them we first need the proper infrastructure, that includes proper household, good internet connectivity and minimum knowledge of the bitcoin network along with its advantages and disadvantages.

It is very tough to get this done in poor countries, considering the sheer fact that they are "poor".

It is hard to believe, but even in the poorest nations, a majority of the urban dwellers have access to internet and smartphones. The situation has changed a lot in the past 5-6 years. If Bitcoin takes advantage of this rapid transformation, then it can evolve as a truly universal currency. 
23519  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Many Millions of People Use Bitcoin? on: November 22, 2016, 06:43:25 PM
My guess is that it will be somewhere around 500,000 to 1 million. Right now, around 15 million coins are in circulation, and 90% of them are owned by a few thousand super-rich users. The remaining 1.5 million are owned by users who have anywhere from BTC0.001 to hundreds of BTC. And we need to exclude any user holding less than BTC0.1, as the net worth is insignificant.
23520  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin being used for illegal activities on: November 22, 2016, 06:37:40 PM
What if you were to use bitcoin to buy marijuana in certain states where it is still banned? And in those states where local laws do allow purchase and consumption of moderate amounts, they are still violating federal law. All this ending up to the question: what is illegal?

There is a huge grey zone in legal sector, where the legality is open to differing interpretations. Even in states where recreational marijuana is legal, purchasing it through a dark market using Bitcoin may be illegal. Anything related to marijuana is in the grey zone.
