Why are we stationary here? This is no place for a price to stay. Are we going up or down?
We reached singularity/tipping point?  |

Curious to know, without going thru this whole thread, are there countries without taxes? Be interesting to hear about it if so.
In times of major upheavals. Somalia had no taxes or gun control for a while. Taxes are back, but I think you can still have as many AKs as you want. |

You're trying to answer two questions, so that we could continue our conversation.
Good luck!
I never claimed people to be shot systematically nor that I know people stupid enough to have themselves shot because they refuse to comply. Just that there is threat of physical violence, and use of violence if you don't pay your taxes. If you try to defend yourself against that form of violence, you will, depending on the situation, face a gun sooner or later. So your point is not an argument against mine, that you will end up suffering physical violence when you refuse to pay your taxes and defend yourself against those trying to force you to comply. I'm pretty sure you don't personally know anybody that got shot by Stalin either. That doesn't mean that Stalin didn't use violence to make others comply. Good. Thus far we've established the following: 1. No one held a gun to your head. 2. You do not personally know anyone who had a gun pointed at his head for nonpayment of taxes. Now if you can just answer the second question, we can continue. Concentrate. Good luck. |

Luckily it was only 50 coins that had cost me less than $6k.
That's a lot of money to some people. A hell of a lot. You're talking to a guy who "let [his] driver's licence lapse in 1966" and lived without any form of ID until less than a year ago. This is mystical shit, brah. Either that, or he lived in a secure facility with friendly and helpful staff. |

Bitcoin saved my life by getting me out of the USA where I can find doctors that care more about health than wealth.
Which country is that? Maybe I can move there, at least for my children. Really almost any other country. What country is that? >$26 cash for an office visit with little wait and lab/radiology costs less than that. You've either moved to a country with subsidized medical care, in which case gg bro, or your doctor is about to put you under, take out your kidneys & sell them. In which case lol. |

>crisis in Russia
Like the fact that Bitcoin could be banned in 2015? Or do you mean the crisis in Ukraine, where the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) called Bitcoin “a money substitute that has no real value, and cannot be used by individuals and legal entities in Ukraine as a mean of payment”?
>If Bitcoin could be easily sold and bought, like a normal stock or currency, it would be sky high.
Huh?

...More commonly the penalty for tax evasion is 5 years in prison per count, though sometimes as low as 6 months. It's very easy to get life in prison for failing to pay taxes and this guy got 9 years in prison for not paying up... You're confusing "maximum sentence" with "most common." Maximum sentences are used in extreme cases. Al Capone got nailed for tax evasion, for instance. Re. your tabloid link where "this guy" got 9 years for tax evasion: Bro, he wasn't even tried yet. TL;DR: Typical tinfoil Bitcoiner tripe. |

The low Russian ruble and no cash flow into Bitcoin points to a very real loss of confidence in those who have defacto control and the idea itself.
That photo of Karpeles giving the world the finger while wearing a very expensive suit comes to mine.
Do you actually expect a strong correlation between the prices of the ruble and BTC? One word answer: Cyprus. One word reply: NeoBee.  |

^ No. You have failed to answer my previous question, and I unjustly attributed it to evasiveness. In my haste, I overlooked the possibility of you being differently enabled & suffering from poor reading comprehension. Along with your delusions of persecution. Apologies. I've highlighted the important bits this time, in hopes that it may somehow help: ...
So no one has put a gun to your head, you're simply afraid that someone will. Now we're finally getting somewhere, let's take this a step at a time.
Do you personally know someone who was shot for failing to pay taxes?
My previous question still stands: What God-forsaken foregny you hail from?
You're trying to answer two questions, so that we could continue our conversation. Good luck! |

On the other hand, if a few big players are controlling the direction, what would they want to do? Confuse people, probably. Make a potentially useful new tool look like it failed, make elliomancy look like a scientific procedure etc. Doesn't matter, as long as we are around or above the mining cost everything is solid imo.
If the nefarious big players exist & manipulate the market, and if the "useful tool" fails to account for their nefarious acts, how useful is the tool? |
