People are conveniently forgetting that piratebay fooled people into thinking their servers were in North Korea at one point, I.P addresses are extremely unreliable evidence because they can changed at a whim.

Hell, just by buying a VPN I can make it look like I'm in Russia or Afghanistan and I'm not even a hacker! if hackers can make it look like they're from North Korea. What's to say it really is North Korea, it's wishful thinking from cold war fanatics who don't want things to end.

Oh and we all know how reliable intelligence agencies are when it comes to this kind of bullshit, considering they so certainly said it was all Saddam Hussein's fault 9/11 happened and they were 100% sure he had nuclear weaponry.

Don't use paypal if you can afford not to, everyone's been warned about this on here hundreds of times.

Speaking as somebody who was born and actually lives there, yes, a lot of people hate the EU simply because it is a bloated, inefficient bureaucracy that is trying to build an empire and more importantly it is an unelected bureaucracy. Others are obviously your classic xenophobes but I think more are just tired of being told what we can and can't do as a country despite having our own elected government, we might as well be a protectorate of the EU right now.

If we can finally have a referendum in 2015 I will certainly be voting on it and I will be voting to get out, I hope people won't be falling for the same scare mongering bullshit that was pulled on us with the Scotland referendum. You can expect our media to do what you guys had with the tea party where they point the cameras at all the xenophobes there and try to paint everybody who's against the EU that way because of course a lot of the politicians want careers in the EU government somewhere because they won't have to worry about re-election

lol 'attempted' currency manipulation, they manipulate currencies on a daily basis and are sanctioned by governments to do it.

I'd immediately invest it in passive income so I wouldn't have a problem with money for a long while dividends and such.

I'm sure it will devolve into that because for once we all agree this is a really stupid article, it's like seeing creationists comment on evolution.

Definitely better than a lot of crap out there, I think the journalists are finally starting to learn now lol

I consider it a compliment these days to be called crazy or a criminal by the likes of these assholes.

For those in countries who have their torrent sites blocked here's a list of proxies for kickass if you don't know about it.

A newbie bumping an old thread? Hope this is a legit conversation but johnniewalker has been known for dealing dodgily for sometime now, haven't seen him around very much actually so maybe his practices finally caught up to him or he gave up, there have been plenty of complaints about him.

Well you can control it if you concentrate, but it's a pretty stupid thing to do to deliberately ignore your instincts sometimes, unless it's some kind of fear you've gained which would get you into more trouble if you pay attention to it.


This too, sometimes it's body volume

Pfft, I don't think there will be a doomsday, chaos certainly, but the only people it will be a doomsday for is those who use this era of paper currency to maintain their current lifestyle

Duh, it's because subconsciously you're afraid of drowning so your body reacts to that, it's like when you have something come towards your face and you think it might hit you automatically shield yourself, same thing, our brain pretty much develops defense mechanisms against that sort of thing as we get older.

That's because you've become aware of how water works and have learned, as a child you know fuck all about water so you don't know how to handle it and panic, that said, there are adults in life that don't really know how to swim still or haven't really been able. Pretty much because they weren't really taught properly, it happens all the time, for instance I have major gaps in my knowledge because of my shitty education but I have slowly been filling them again.

It's also worth bearing in mind that we know fuck all about the universe outside our own galaxy so it would be incredibly arrogant to claim that there are no species like us out there, unless of course you're forgetting about apes and monkeys but of course creationists do like ignoring scientific fact don't they?

Bank run time

Too bad you guys voted morons in that destroyed the economy so we can't get jobs

Vote for someone intelligent! Preferably someone who understands basic maths!

They must be because it's just completely incoherent ranting the majority of the time and they seem to have just completely made up what Bitcoin actually is in their own heads. When people talk about Bitcoin being a bubble or a ponzi scheme I always respond or at least think "If it's a ponzi scheme and a scam, why would they make it open source" people who are infinitely more skilled then they are in programming and cryptography have all looked at it and acknowledged it so they really are just talking out of their own arses.

This isn't anything new though, people spread the same kind of bullshit about the internet, heavy metal and computer games which supporters of Bitcoin have rightly pointed out several time and of course everyone who actually looked at what these people were ranting about knew what they were simply either totally ignorant of the subject or just blatantly lying.

A lot of neo-keynesian types are definitely going to come after cryptocurrencies as much as possible, partly because they're going to be put out of business finally.

lol we all knew they would pull something like this, I suspect Paypal will do something similar, they're against the decentralised models so of course they aren't going to adopt Bitcoin, I think it's just wishful thinking on the part of the Bitcoin community.

Sure it'd be nice, but it's not realistic.
