I see...yesterday the software for SegWit2x was supposed to be ready for testing but: Still have some minors bits n bobs (see issue tracker) to sort out, as well as writing the release notes. Will push those out this weekend, spinning up gitian volunteer builders (join in!) this weekend.
The release candidate will largely be equivalent to the beta release, so the best thing to do is to continue testing the beta (or master) on testnet and mainnet.
-- Jeff Garzik So the price is certainly following SegWit activation. The delay made people anxious and the price dipped.

When it was announced that Litecoin would use SegWit the price went from $10 to mid 30s. When SegWit activated the price crashed to the low $20s. Then gradually climbed to new ATH of over $50 over the span of a month or so.

Which sex is God?
Does He have a penis or a vagina?
If He has either...and there is only one God...why would he need reproductive organs?
God the creator is surely in the line of male, because Lord Jesuschrist always calls him "Father". God created man, but in order to reproduce, He also created woman, but not just for reproduction, but to help man in serving him. God the creator does'nt need a sexual organ to give birth. Think of this for example, a male seahorse is the one who carries eggs and give birth; if God created a male that can give birth, is it impossible for Him to do that process? as it is written in Exodus 4:11 " The LORD said to him, "Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the LORD?; therefore, if God can make a female that can give birth, He also has tha ability to give birth. But Adam was created in the image of God. A a male with a penis. Or else, why would there be a need to make Eve different, with female reproductive parts? If he is the only God, why would he need a penis that is used for reproduction?

August 1st it is safest to have your bitcoins off of the exchange in a wallet.
Some people may have figured out that it's also "safe" to have your money on the exchange in dollars.
I think August 1st will be anticlimactic.

Strange USD funding wall on Bitfinex...$5.5 million at .03%.
Usually the funding is in the hundreds of thousands at most.
Not sure what it means, a lot of people can go long for a very low rate.

Taxation is not theft, because citizens have agreed to pay taxes. This is part of the “social contract,” which is a kind of agreement between citizens and the government, whereby the citizens agree to pay taxes and obey the laws, in return for the government’s protection. By using government services (such as roads, schools, and police), and remaining present in the government’s territory, you indicate that you accept the social contract.2

Some people think that this thread is called "Wall Observer" because we watch walls on the charts.
The reality is that we watch walls of text.

If you feel robbed by the government, and
you hate getting taxed, it's simple, don't pay it.
And if you don't want your government to run after you, go to another country where taxes are not taken seriously.
If you hate getting raped it's simple, go some place where there are no men. You are very frank, here, but... Ill admit you have a point. Men are men, because they take stand for what they believe for, not because they run or cower in fear everytime stranger tries to fuck them in the ass. Taxation, its scope and the way the raised money is used HAS TO BE under scrutiny of public, not power hungry elites. Or in the age of digital currencies, the Internet and advanced technologies we can come up with something other than extortion to derive funds for public projects. One example of many yet to be tried methods would be Dominant Assurance ContractsWhy are new methods not being tried? Because the easiest solution is to have someone pay money under threat of violence. As long as that is socially acceptable, there is no easier method.

well blow me. dunno how i can've missed this one: https://eros.vision/ might blow my whole wad on it etc etc "Our goal is to offer an authentic OpenBazaar of Sex that cannot be censured, banned nor shut down by any government or religious authority." Strange that they are making the OpenBazaar of Sex when they could just use OpenBazaar and create an interface for sex. if they use openbazaar then there will be no token and no revenue. btw, isnt it sound like a modern day pimp ? Europe has websites that advertise escorts like going to Amazon.com. The prudish countries like Iran and the US aren't used to such things. http://www.ladies.deNot that I ever partook.

If someone steals your wallet, then goes and donates your money to charity...is it theft?
The act of taking your money without your consent has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with what is then done with the money. Those are TWO SEPARATE ISSUES.

I mean we all need public goods to survive as a society. A road is the most common example but what about other stuff like the military and even general well-being. These must be considered because it is a wild world that we live in. Is it worth it to have a police force? It is when someone steals your car. That's a great example of a common good it's best for everyone in society so that we can hold value without fear of losing it by theft or brute force.
Why do you assume that extortion is the only way to fund large projects? Ever bought your own food to survive? Getting that food from a seed, grown, harvested, packaged, shipped, put up for sale. That's a pretty big task...feeding everyone. How does that get paid for?

I don't know if he/she even has a gender, but i'd love to see people reaction to a Goddess
In my religion (Hinduism), there are a total of 330 million gods / goddesses). So I can say that the Hindu religion is the only one which has implemented gender equality in the distribution of gods. I thought Hinduism was more of a philosophy or way of life than a religion.

Taxation is not theft. Though it's not voluntary, you still pay for it. Why? Because it is mandatory, according to the law.
It's like a toll gate fee or a box office payment. You pay the government for the services they give you. It's the government's business.
You will only feel robed if and when you're not satisfied by what the government do.
Except when you pay for a box office payment you are doing so voluntarily. Paying for a service you want for an agreed upon price.

It is not theft for me basically. It is in the constitution that the government may impose taxes on the people. That is how the government is also fueled or supported to provide services to the people. However, it would easily become theft if the taxes that people pay go to the pockets of some few corrupt leaders.
The act of taking money without permission becomes theft if the money is not spent well? That's like saying "non-consensual sex with a woman would easily become rape if she does not have an orgasm"
