Awesome stuff man  

And I gave him an answer for something other than Bitcoin.

Lol sure, I'll agree to that.  Nothing in that image says "Fuck Jews", it's just an odd coincidence bankers happen to be Jews.  If I painted a picture of Abraham Lincoln as a white man, am I being racist?  Or is Abraham Lincoln not white, and would the painting not be accurate?  There's simply no other way to do it.

Anything is possible.  If there's nothing else we need to learn from this experiment, it's the concept of freedom of currency.  When the state has a monopoly over a commodity (in this case, worthless bank notes, not even redeemable for any kind of commodity), they're going to make it progressively worse.

It's possible to create a digital currency in which you can add or subtract how much will be in circulation.  However, Bitcoin isn't the right basis for this, unless you make it law that every user must upgrade their software each time the US makes a new rule.  They should probably create their own version of it that doesn't require community consensus.

To add to that, most taxes actually are going to military (a 500+ billion dollar army doesn't come from nowhere), a huge chunk of it goes to social security and welfare, a lot more goes to paying national interest on its debts (lol.)  And then there's the wages of every government employee.  I know I didn't sign up to have all my cash siphoned into the war; so why be for or against warfare?  The gov's got a mind of its own, anyway.  Statism has shown for thousands of years what good it does.  It's just a matter of when, for the individual, they realize the source of all the world's problems; it's because a tiny portion of people rule the world, and they're always competing for complete control.

Once ASIC becomes a staple in any serious miner's business, I would expect LTC to be the coin mined by hobbyists.  I don't see why not; it's still profitable to mine BTC if you already have the equipment, but that's going to change in the future.

At the time, nobody knew what a crypto-currency was (except for the lucky few who happened to be interested in the subject.)  Given that Bitcoin is likely to fail at some point in time in the future (even if we're counting beyond our own lives), by then, if most people know what Bitcoin is/was, and Bitcoin 2 released its genesis block, there would be a much larger number of people lining up to take a slice.  Then it would be much more balanced, and much more spread out.  But you gotta start somewhere, and someone's gotta do the mining to keep the whole thing afloat.

To make an example of the free-rider, take a look at spoiled middle to upper class children.  They're handed everything from day one, and will always expect their parents to clothe and feed them in return for nothing.  It is pretty fucking hard to get such a child to go out and make a living, unless the parent decides to turn around and make their lives hell, to the point that the child wants to leave for good.  Why is it that these children do not have an innate desire to contribute to the family and keep their way of life going?  They don't have any trouble whatsoever free-loading.  How do you get these people to stop on a large scale?  Now you must introduce the parent; you must introduce the state.

Well, the difference would be, if you're looking at Zionism from a political standpoint, it's perfectly okay to be against it; it's pretty ridiculous that a group of people will expect a stretch of land to just be given to them because they said they deserve it.  Anti-Semitism happens when you hate Jews as individuals, which would be akin to racism or the like.  There's nothing wrong with having a negative viewpoint against, say, the New Black Panther party, as long as it's not because you hate blacks.

Not quite; on a small scale, this is what would happen.  But on a large scale, with one society trading with another society, it would have to happen capitalism-style.  Unless, of course, we're talking about state communism, in which case, we're all fucked and destined to die in a war for the mother land.

The Pirate Party is a single issue party, so they're really not going to fit anywhere on a political typology quiz   But if I had to guess, since they're anti-copyright, they're gonna lean closer to the top.

Potential for knowledge might fit what I was trying for better...

We can only speculate a world without it.  I assume it's a lot like a society with only one major race (which is a term I can't agree with but since it's popular...) never having been introduced to any other; in this way, all men are equal.  But even then, you cannot escape prejudice against one gender or another, and if there was hypothetically one gender of asexual human beings, the tall would be prejudice against the small, the masculine would be prejudice against the feminine.  However, there were quite a few societies in which men and women were absolute equals.  You'll never find such a thing in a western civilization, tho; I assume Abrahamic religion plays a large role in this, as those equal societies I mention had their own religions (mostly to do with gods for the different forces of nature, i.e. rudimentary sciences, not the story-telling mumbo jumbo in the Abrahamic ones.)

There's no other way to do it in a natural way.  Just look at how Ripple's handling the opposite of how Satoshi did it.  Look how well that'll work out.

Not that I know.  A lot of people realized a centralized exchange is a big issue but that's about it.

I fear this is something I won't remember as it was before my time

Surprise!  Except in this case, there's no single head raking in all the cash.

Hrmmm D&D?
