Smoke of any kind is bad for you, as it is well known to be a carcinogen.

Re tobacco: I quit smoking cigarettes a few years ago, mainly because I felt like an idiot doing it. Every time I lit up I would think, why am I killing myself to make a tobacco company rich? 3 or 4 cigs/day is nothing, but I was smoking 30-40/day! It took me nearly 10 tries at quitting throughout my life, but I finally succeeded and have never felt better about a decision I made.

Re Marijuana: I used to be "chronic" (meaning a heavy user), but have recently cut down a lot. I only smoke socially now. Cannibas has amazing health benefits though and other than feeling sleepy and having a case of the munchies it has no detrimental effects. Also, if you are ingesting it by preparing it in your food the later is not an issue. I suppose penalty of law can also be considered as a detriment, since it is illegal in some countries. It would be interesting to find out if the anti-carcinogenic properties of cannibas counter the carcinogenic properties of smoking it. I would imagine that it does, but I would like to see an honest and proper study done on the matter, not some biased propaganda made for one side or the other which is sadly often the case.

Now that I think of it, using a bong (when smoking whatever you fancy) would likely filter out most of the carcinogens. And so a shameless plug is in order since this is a cryptocurrency forum. Check out Bongger! (Keep in mind the dev is a stoner, so not a whole lot of productivity going on, but still might be worth checking out.)

Great article, Cynthia! Thank you!

I missed that announcement. I have begun voting now. (every 1/2 hour)

Thanks for the great article! Pinkcoin gives you wiiings! 

I'm curious, do the cards have anything to say about Monsanto? IMO, one of the most evil, destructive and under-exposed corps out there.

Genetically Modified Crony Capitalism, The Monsanto Infographic

It could be my friend you are talking about. After telling him about PC he got REAL excited and has since become one of those on the rich list! If I had the means, I'd be one too.

I don't know how you missed it, but if you would've kept on reading two posts down you would've seen that I posted the link to the article I read that says as much.


Now, risking going off topic, the more important question here is, will people continue to mine btc once it's mined out just for the tx fees and will they have enough storage space for the huge blockchains?

For those who read the article and saw the picture of Rickard Falkvinge, who else thinks he looks like No.2 from the Austin Powers movies?!

OMG! This video had me in stitches! So, many great references. Two thumbs up! I hope you make more videos. 

"Vod is really going to be disappointed this time..." 

Nothing easy about it. I have found that most people here in bct (especially the day traders) are just looking to make a quick buck, 10-15 yrs is far too long to wait. You just don't hear people saying, "TO THE MOON... IN 10 YEARS!"

Here's the article that I read.

Rickard Falkvinge - "My prediction of a mainstream breakthrough around the year 2019 remains, and it still depends on getting mainstream usability; a target market cap may be reached about a decade after that happens, as a technology typically takes ten years from mainstream breakthrough to maturity."

I can't afford to pay for votes either. usecryptos is free and you can vote every 1/2 hour. It would be nice if this coin was on Bittrex or Poloniex. These are mid-level exchanges that are trusted and used by a majority of people. After that you can try for Mintpal and Cryptsy.

Great review by qiwoman!

I just refuse to watch any Nicolas Cage movies anymore.

The new Godzilla movie is sooo boring. Watch any of the older ones instead. (Even the Matthew Broderick version is better.)

Bitcoin's projected value is anywhere from $100,000 to $1mil. For all you speculators out there, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it's likely going to take 10 yrs (or more). IMO, cryptocurrency has a long road ahead of it, made even longer due to the speculators giving the general population a sense of mistrust.

bongger is the dev of Bongger the cryptocurrency. A bonger is someone who smokes dope through a bong.

Next weeks episode we'll discuss 420! 

A bonger smokes dope through a bong. A Bongger is a cryptocurrency that IS dope!

There's no need since Bonggers has it's own website and forum. To apply for the giveaway, just go to this thread.

Finally, Bongger has a new ANN page... again. Looks good!

You should include links to the Bongger website, forum and github. Maybe include the Giveaway (and instructions on how to apply) and the Bongger specs in the OP too, that way all Bongger info is included and updated here in one post. Then post links in all the other threads you made and tell people to come here to learn and discuss everything about Bonggers or to just hang out. Out with the old in with the new, nobody likes "old bong water". 

Wooooo!!! Weeeeeeeeee!!! Bonggers!!!!! Yeah!!!

You need to make your own links or else people (like me, oops, lol) can change them on you.
