I thought I would also announce this in the appropriate sections as well as in our official thread in the "Gambling" section, you can check it out in my signature.

Invest early enough and you will get a great return on investment without taking any of the risks of lending to new members, managing collateral or buying into some shady securities.

We have had a whale betting systematically recently winning 36BTC, 24BTC, 24BTC and 24.75BTC. (we have had just 1 large winning at the time) This had lead the administration to take swift action and implement an investment system to let players become the house! If you would like to invest you can now open an account and do so effortlessly.

Just in case you wondered what the financial situation of McDonalds is:

Total revenues: 27567 million $
Net income: 5464 million $
2012 Annual Report.pdf

Looks like they can afford to pay a little more.

Pay who? Pay the low wage workers? Pay for what? They don't deserve it, if they wanted they could spend their time doing business instead of whacking it off to hentai and watching Breaking Bad or whatever teenagers are doing these days, their net income is 5464 million $ and they deserve every cent, taking even a dollar from their net income forcefully would reduce them to slavery.

You deserve a living wage if you work, period.

why? what if i do a piss poor job? what if my employer asks me to pick up all of the sticks in his yard and i walk at like 1/10th of a mile per hour. instead of picking up 10 sticks and carrying them to the bin i pick up 1 and carry it to the bin then walk back into the yard and pick up 1 more. what if my work is creating significantly less value than is required to sustain my person? why am i entitled to more compensation than my labor is worth? where is this money supposed to come from? it necessarily must come from someone elses surplus productivity, why does that person owe me anything?

its easy to make generalizations like "everyone is entitled to a living wage" but you have to remember that employers are not forced to hire people. if you raise the price of a thing people will purchase less of it. if grocery stores raise the price of peanuts people will purchase fewer peanuts. if the government raises the price of labor than people will purchase less of it.

consider that what you probably really want is for everyone to have their basic needs taken care of, i.e. food water clothing shelter. if this really what you want, like i suspect it is, than a minimum wage would accomplish the opposite of your goal.

My point exactly, your pay is always proportionate to how much you contribute to society, if all that you do is dig up a hole so that another group can fill it back up then you deserve nothing. The faulty logic of raising the minimum pay in order to "take care" of the minimum wage workers accomplishes nothing but add to unemployment and ultimately to their misery.

We will now be implementing an "Invest" system where you can become the bank and let players bet against your funds, we have been struggling paying for winning bets lately and it seems like the most logical choice.

Stay tuned  Wink

tl-dr please don't forget to register your service and comply with "anti-money-laundering regulations" in an organization based in a government that promotes international terrorism.

People need to realize that what the U.S. doesn't want you NOT to launder money, in fact they encourage you to launder it using their freelancers (e.g. The Wall Street) at heightened rates, they are merely eliminating competitors that don't even get 1% of the action they are getting out of greed.

There is probably more money laundered in The Wall Street through Delaware companies in a week on average than with Bitcoin in a year.

The video is from Team Fortress just to appeal more to the youth, the speech is by Charlie Chaplin.

I am curious did anyone here serve the army? Did you ever realize that you got owned after you've served the army?

Americans are pretty horrible IMO, but then again, among all the countries America is like the alcoholic who took it upon himself to become the designated driver while all the other countries are alcoholics as well.

I point out the flaws in the U.S. not because I hate the U.S. but because I love the U.S.

In Chicago, IL fast food workers are striking, protesting and demanding $15/hr where the state minimum wage is $8.25/hr.

The average profit margin for a company is about 5-10% and these idiots want their salaries nearly doubled, arguing that they're not receiving a livable wage.

Um, no.  I'm getting a bit sick of this attitude of entitlement floating around the USA, and keep in mind I work in the field of social services.

When I graduated and began work as a counselor in the adult psychiatric unit of a Chicago hospital, I made $15/hr with a post-graduate degree and was sent to the emergency room twice for being assaulted on the job within a period of 6 months.

So, what did I do?  Did I bitch and complain and protest about my salary or my work conditions?  No.  Instead,  I updated and revised my résumé and began sending it directly to the email addresses of the hiring managers at a variety of agencies.  Within 2 months I secured a new job where I am under-qualified and overpaid, and I love my new job.  I'm proud of it, and proud of myself for doing what I needed to do to adapt and thrive.

Thoughts?

It's pretty scary when in a society where the majority decides how will our society look the majority is incredibly fat, stupid, childish and docile.

People will bitch and moan about the "elite" 1%, about the early adopters being unfairly rewarded, about how they somehow deserve some of the wealth without contributing anything but suggest to them to risk their ass and instead of buying the newest iPhone investing that money into a venture and/or investing into cryptocurrencies that are in their early stages currently and hear them moan "muh dollars", "muh iphone", "muh 40 inch plasma", "muh xbox".
260  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What about a program that automatically splits your bitcoins into paper BTC? on: July 29, 2013, 03:49:32 PM
If one did this, I can imagine a lot of stores accepting BitCoin. Currently, there seems to be a looming perception that receiving BitCoin in stores requires some fancy mobile app. Personally, I find it easier to deal with $20 bills than to constantly hawk over my BitCoin accounts. If stores accepting BitCoin suddenly receive a rush of paper form BTC, then that will represent a lot of "tangible" evidence of the BitCoin economy which make BitCoin mainstream.

What about a simple program that you have installed on your computer that divides BTC automatically and prints these divisions prior to connecting to the internet (e.g. during boot?)?

Essentially you would be taking Bitcoin back into the debt system which is always bad, next thing you know people can own billions of bitcoins etc.
