Да это знаменитая фраза из фильма - типа, держи карман шире... Государство - это аппарат насилия и принуждения, и говорить о том, что где-то там рассматривают государство как-то иначе - увольте (сразу вспомнился "Враг государства"). Общество в целом (как сущность) везде противопоставляется государству как совокупность институтов без участия государства (определение гражданского общества)

Thanks for the info. In fact I didn't like Inputs.io from the first glance (so many faucets requiring an account there instead of a plain good old BTC address). Paranoid in me says the hack is bogus and they just ran away with the money

I don't know what's happened there (I use Coinbase), but I think it's time to transfer funds to my own wallet

Yes, deflation could be less dangerous when it is compensated by other factors and producers are able to keep their profit margins wide enough to continue production (that's what ultimately matters), but could this situation be called deflation? Any real world examples when deflation was good for the economy? Japan had been for almost 2 decades in a deflationary spiral (it started in late 80's - early 90's when asset price bubbles popped) but honestly I can't say it was any good for their economy. Probably it would collapse but for the exports (Japan being an open economy)

I didn't understand what you had meant to say by this snippet (haven't yet read further). What do you mean by "What should be fairly obvious is that this doesn't matter" - what doesn't matter and why should we consider this scenario if you say it (?) doesn't matter? What same thing could we achieve? I don't get your point

Please explain, then we proceed

I don't really care, calm dowm

Ну пусть подаёт в суд на АНБ за клевету  

I'm russian and live there (surprise!), there is no subway NEAR Moscow, double lol. I think it's fake

Ага, сейчас, только червячков накопаем...

Under deflation prices are falling - by definition. What you say ("he/she will simply increase the price for the work he/she is making") breaks this definition, that's all. It does not matter if you need something, what actually matters is the price you are ready to pay for what you need as an "aggregate" consumer (not you personally). Again, under deflation you are not ready to pay the price the producer initially asks which forces the prices down (and leads to all ensuing devastating effects on the economy) - all strictly by definition

In short, deflating currency ("represent your money in terms of Satoshis rather than Bitcoins") would be hindrance to a growing economy. There will be no incentive for producers to expand production (or even keep it at the same level) since there is a time lag between production (including all steps up to an end-product) and actual disposal of goods through stores - you would buy high and sell low

Expanded production makes people richer and comes first, money as such is only a utility, it's secondary to production

Какие иски, вы о чём? Любое государство само решает, кому разрешать въезд, а кому отказать во въезде - и без каких-либо объяснений причин отказа

Yeah, especially for those not living (having a bank account) in USA... Dunno about Mt.Gox

Congratulations! You are trying to "invent" money multiplicator


It's called seigniorage

А зачем им человек, пойманный на связях с криминалом, нужен?


Только если было нарушение местных (штатовских) законов

Самая серьёзная проблема биткоина, на мой взгляд, в самом биткоине - для того, чтобы стать мэйнстримом его эмиссия должна соответствовать экономике. Для кредитных денег этот механизм реализуется автоматически через банковский мультипликатор

А до тех пор никто особо и суетиться не будет

Штаты в лице своих спецслужб могут контролировать движение долларов по всему миру, соответственно, отследить долларовые транзакции для них не проблема (даже если деньги перекидываются с одного счёта в Сбере на другой) - поэтому здесь может быть как раз вполне "пойман". Хотя я думаю, что всей правды мы всё равно не узнаем

Payment?

Ну Кобзон вроде тоже невъездной... Может и в данном случае причины аналогичные - кто его знает, чем он там ещё занимается?

I had my password reset (also forgot it) but my e-mail was in place. I think you just need to prove that this address is yours (something like paypal does with bank accounts)
