No, you're posting anywhere on the boards (minus the local sections I would assume) with the signature (and the avatar if you want the extra stakes) I wouldn't be spamming on this thread, as you're just going to end up making it harder for Lauda when he's looking to count up the other stakes.

It's like a regular signature campaign, you're just being paid in another coin rather then bitcoin.

This is something which I've attempted to tell my family. I've told them, there is only so much that Gold can go up. People aren't buying it in boatloads like they used to as the new generation isn't keen on buying things like that, we're more keen on buying either traditional investments (stocks, bonds, etc) or getting into risky things such as Crypto stuff (I'm not going to say that's all people, but I would say a good portion of this new generation likes these 'new investments'


I suppose this is true, I would add on the fact that the old generation has seen the markets crash during the times of financial panic and don't want to get involved with such risky things such as Stocks/Bonds as they (could have) lost tons of money in these times.

I'm surprised it wasn't all white, to show that they're surrendering even during parades. All jokes aside, this is some pretty funny stuff though-- kinda surprised with people not posting this sort of stuff here -- COME ON PEOPLE IT'S FRANCE FOR GOD SAKE LIGHTEN UP

I fail to know how to quote certain things (someone, please help me!), but I'm just going to respond in general. I don't think Potus has taken it to the next level; it's just been a LONG TIME since we've had a Pro-Life President in office and it's hard to see what their policy is.

Let me tell you that I think the Church's stance on contraceptives/birth control is a little much-- or a lot much rather -- I think a baby is a bay when the egg has been fertilized. Anytime before that is fair game-- this is my opinion and the opinion of many. I'm not saying that we should ban protected sex, we should ALWAYS teach about protected sex to ensure that we don't have people who don't have the resources to take care of the human inside of them.

Again, hitting President Trump on saying that men don't care about them after they've fucked the mother of their child -- saying that this is the law of the land for GOP land (or at least Trump land) isn't true. If you are the breadwinner of the family, you will have to provide for that child if the mother wants child support, that's how it always has gone, and this is how it will continue.

The problem with the left is that they feel that the Supreme Court is present to make their laws, and it ISN'T present for that reason. Roe V Wade was the court overextending itself -- and the court should have NEVER gone down that road. The Court is present to determine the constitutionality of things, and Abortion is NEVER mentioned in the constitution or even alluded to. This is why I feel that the Federal Government has no place in it and it SHOULD be left to the states.

And to the point about 'why even have a federal government then' WELL this country follows a FEDERALISM system -- one where powers are shared between the states, local, and the federal government. This is an integral part of our nation and should always be. This is laid out in the constitution to ensure that the people will ALWAYS have more direct control over their lives.

Yeah that's not how this is going to work, I don't know why people think that when people start losing money in their safe (traditional investments) they're going to go to the most risk prone one (Bitcoin) and invest here. We're a crazy volatile currency/asset. Probably not the best idea to run here if you're already in shambles.

But back on the issue, I believe in FREE AND FAIR TRADE. If other nations have tarriffs on our goods then we should have the same on theirs. I don't think anyone in America or around the world should have an issue with that? If we want free and fair trade then this is the only thing that we can do to ensure it occurs.

It matters what country we're in and the system of government and the power of that system of government. Lets take the United States for instance, I would say that you're not able to blame the government for financial hardships as you're the ones (the people) are the ones that are electing the very people who are controlling the government and are setting forth policy.

This is also assuming that the government isn't too involved in finance/business. As in America, they are only involved to a certain extent, which isn't seen in all countries -- as some have more or less government regulatory control.

This is a case by case issue, tough one to be honest.

I mean there really is NO REASON that bitcoin MUST be the crypto in the future. Though it's the only thing we can go off of now because Bitcoin has been the only Crypto that has MEANT ANYTHING during our time. I know that some people will point to ETH and coins like that, but they've always been (and in my mind) always will be the number 2 to bitcoin. Bitcoin is a revolutionary currency which can be changed and fixed, by the people, if they want to see change in the code (such as the LN, segwit, etc)

We don't NEED altcoins, we can pretty much take all of the good things about other coins and merge it into Bitcoin to make it the way that WE want to see Bitcoin. Some people may not agree with Bitcoin being changed like this, but if people can agree on it then it will be done. We'll see what the future holds though

This is without a doubt going to cause problems in industries that truly do need the money instantly, and I know that this is a shit ton of industries. But there are also places that can be penetrated without solutions such as the Lightning Network which is in beta testing. I would think that a repairman would be able to tell someone that the estimate for the work is x number (We'll use $500 for the sake of it) and the customer will then pay this amount before they're done.

If any refund would have to occur or an increased payment, this could be done after the job is done. While the LN would simply this sort of transactions where people want Cash on Delivery, there are a ton of ways to work around this issue -- this is without thinking of the bitcoin merchants (such as BitPay) who can handle this for you with ease.

I do hope to see the LN network thrive though, that would be amazing to see Bitcoin handle that amount of TX's at credit card speeds.

His nomination will go through because of him being a Bush/ Romney / any other establishment Republican pick. It's the reason that Trump picked him, as he knows that he'll be able to get through the hearings and the confirmation and that the courts will lean conservative for decades to come.

The thing with Roe V Wade isn't taking away the decision of a women to do whatever they want with their body, it's giving the states the ability to decide (through the people, as they are the ones who are electing their state reps/assemblypeople) to decide if they want abortion to be legal within their state. I personally don't think the Federal government has any ability to decide what the states should govern on this, let the people decide on a state by state basis.

While many people hated Scalia for his decisions on certain things, I do think that how he explained his opposition to Roe V Wade - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj_MhS2u-Pk -- Check that out there.

Americans will be concerned of course, but abortion is (and will always be) a very contentious issue in the United States.

Sent you a message as well, let me know if this is alright. Thanks!

I'd like to be kept under consideration for the new campaigns as well if that's alright to post here.

I'll shoot ya a PM as well shortly.

Well yeah, any study can say anything in order to help on side feel like they're going to get what they want. Don't beleive the bullshit and actually think for a second. Do you really think that world governments, multibillion-dollar banks, money transfer services, and so on and so forth are going to allow for Bitcoin (and the rest of Crypto) to go mainstream? Because if you do think this, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

I do hope that this would happen, don't get me wrong. But I'm a realistic thinker, and I know that these groups aren't going to relinquish their control over what they have with ease. They're going to fight for it, and they're going to fight hard for it. I know it won't come easy at all.



They do this to crack down on something which they think is going to be a problem for their governments in the future -- that's not even a fraction of what they can do to screw crypto.

I mean, while it does sound realistic and some people do ACTUALLY just go to the casino to have some fun. It usually isn't that way for people, as people don't ENJOY losing money. People without a doubt enjoy winning, that's the 'high' that gamblers feel when they're winning and they always want to get back to that point. Even if a person starts out with doing it for fun, it may end up catastrophic when the person starts losing money -- and attempts to regain their losses.

Sounds amazing on paper and in theory, but this isn't something that the human mind can cope with.


I really wouldn't call too many people 'responsible gamblers' that has to be a VERY minute portion of the gambling community.

I mean I do see this, and there has been growth in gold over the years. But none of this growth is even close to comparable to the stock market (in the United States) over that same time period. If you are to compare the growth of Gold from the 1980's to the growth of the stock market, you're going to see that you could have made a SHIT TON more if you were invested in the stock market through that period.

The market increases at that same rate by the way, averaged overtime of course.


i just see a problem with the reasonsing, as people are using it as a 'if the world goes to shit' currency. When the only currency that's going to mean anything during a 'if the world goes to shit' is going to be food, water, other supplies, and defenses.


i mean, there are so many other safer investments, Investing in gold/silver is like investing against the stock market.

Not surprised with this exchange at all, they're a model for all exchanges in crypto to follow. The servers are fast, they have an amazing support staff, and they're standing up to governments when they want them to hand over user information by simply leaving the country in question -- this is a wonderful company which is going to be a pillar for crypto to come.

I even think that Binance is supporting some sort of decentralized exchange as well -- don't understand why, as this is going to cut into their profits. But, they've been amazing during times of crisis (hacks and such) and making sure that the users know exactly what is going on and aren't left in the dark.

I'd rather them make money then Coinbase anyway.

I'm not one who would invest in precious metals, but I have noticed that a good amount of the older generations are pretty keen in investing in these metals. They see it as a way to bet against the market, and a security that will always be safe -- even in the times of a market downturn/country failure as a whole.

I personally wouldn't even want to buy these metals in those events, as I don't see the reason to. I'd rather invest in securities that go up when the market shits itself (Payroll lending companies and so on and so forth)

Does anyone here know the reason behind people loving precious metals?

While this is a Nobel goal, it's just not going to happen. Governments are going to step in to make the first thing a reality -- yes, even if the company tries to setup shop in some random country the US SEC will reign down on them for doing transactions with US customers. At a certain point, you're going to have to do some KYC regulations. No withdrawals will EVER be processed without KYC (at least if the withdrawals are going to a bank account rather then staying in crypto)

Though the rest of the things I do like, this is a pretty solid list.x

This right here. I would completetly avoid all of these random sites which attempt to make you feel secure, while simply being the people that are going to scam you in the end.

I'd much rather use an escrow that is going to take a bit longer (a escrow on the forum - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0) Which has a reputation to uphold here, and is going to without a doubt handle their side of the bargin. Use one of these escrows and you won't get screwed again.


No reason to even use these sites, within 3 days he probably could have gotten Ognasty or someone like him to handle this entire ordeal.

Here is the thing with business, they're not going to accept a new payment method and go through all the motions of setting it up unless it's going to profit them. At this point in the game, Zuckerberg and the rest of the corporate structure at Facebook doesn't really care about the tech anymore -- they're all in it for maximizing the amount of money that they can make. If bitcoin is going to lead to them making a few more million dollars a year in advertising revenue / whatever revenue they make it in. Then they're going to do it.

If it's not going to help them at all, they're not going to accept Bitcoin. That's just the simple way of laying it out.

I mean -- most of the goods targeted aren't those cheap Chinese goods that we buy on Amazon and eBay. So unless new tariffs are released targetting these items, you're not going to see a change at all.

China is at a huge disadvantage in this 'trade war' though, as Chinese manufacturing relies heavily on American consumers -- you can't just make 500b in consumers come out of nowhere. If the Trump administration really wants to, I think they're going to be able to force China to come to the table with real reform on free and fair trade and the protection of intellectual property. As of right now, America is getting SCREWED.

I'm happy to see this go on, China will lose at the end of this though. They just don't have the same set of defenses in place to beat us when they rely so heavily on our consumers.
