These are the words of an intelligent, free-thinking person.

Oil saw pretty similar gains in the early days of the internal combustion engine.

I'll see your bible quote and raise you this:

“The strategic adversary is fascism... the fascism in us all, in our heads and in our everyday behavior, the fascism that causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates and exploits us.”
-Michel Foucault

Wise, poetic, and prescient. Thank you for sharing these words.

I just downloaded this wallet on my phone yesterday for simple transaction around NYC such as the food vendors at the BTC fest downtown on Sundays.

I really like it, the UI is slick and easy-to-learn, the app is lightweight - downloaded super fast.

Yeah? Well fuck those guys. 

"So what if they need the food/clothes/materials to build shelter, WE NEED OUR PROFITS MORE! We earned that money fair and square!"

Capitalism always eventually devolves down to its root violence/force, doesn't it?

Technically possible, politically impossible. Fucking with the free and open internet is political suicide in most of western society.

In a matter of speaking, yes.

I am from the new world that exists in my heart, the kinder, more reasoned, less violent world that is possible if only humanity can find a way to let go of our present reality which is governed by violence and deception rather than reason and compassion.

Satoshi lives on the moon now. He's waiting for us to join him.

Me too!

Don't be so disturbed, what you need to understand is that there are (at least) two Americas. There is the America of the East and West coast cities - the places connected to the world, thought, and technology. Think of them as surfing the wave of "new" knowledge.

And there is the South, the midwest - places far from the hyper-connected coastal cities, with all their icky culture and learnin. Many states in the South still insist on teaching "Christian Science" (lol!) alongside evolution, implying there is some kind of controversy.

The only real controversy is that actual children are allowed anywhere near these "schools" and their "teachers".

For me it's not about trust or hope, it's about mathematics and reason. Bitcoin is based on hard, verifiable, observable science. Fiat, by comparison, is largely based on myth, deception, and illusion. The choice is clear, the future is clear. Fiat is obsolete.

You really need some chaos theory in your life. Here's a taste.

You have to wait like everyone else, it hasn't yet been released to the public. Frustrating, I know. I live in NYC but missed the Tribeca opening, I was so pissed at myself.

Outdated information spotted:

"Individual members pay 2.5 BTC per year, or 25 BTC for a lifetime membership.  Founders dues are 10 BTC per year."

March 2013 lifetime membership cost 25 BTC (approx $300)

When I purchased my lifetime membership a few months back, it cost only 0.3 BTC (approx $300)

How long, dear reader, until lifetime membership costs 0.03 BTC (approx $300) ?

Fiat exchange value may be temporarily flat, but adoption rate and business investment are both exploding. When evaluating an investment opportunity, you want to look at the driving trends, not the trailing consequences.

Value follows adoption and business-building, not the other way around. If you're paying attention to reality, you're bullish as hell.

Futuria, the city of the future!
