As an Anarchist I resent these statements that have been made about Anarchists, not just you in particular because the OP did it as well, I don't necessarily want/need anonymity but that's a nice feature, what I want is a currency that is free from the state and central banks and can be traded freely without restrictions and there are people who are actively trying to prevent that through groups like the Bitcoin foundation. Thankfully though, it's seems that there are currencies like Darkcoin etc. that are stepping in to fill that kind of gap that Bitcoin seems to be leaving, I haven't seen any moves yet by Gavin to take away the freedom Bitcoin gives but I'm not holding my breath.

So long as we're free to exchange our Bitcoins anywhere in the world and not have anyone interfere with transactions based on our I.P address etc. I at least am happy, though obviously I can't speak for all Anarchists since they all have very different opinions.

It's why anyone who wants to stop these guys stay anonymous, it's why intelligence agencies go so far as to create false identities for themselves because if any terrorists or people they were spying on knew who they were they'd just target the families and the ironic thing is that these guys in the alternate reality that the people calling anonymous cowards are living in call them heroes despite the fact that they're using their anonymity to spy on their own citizens instead of protect them but there you go.

I can't wait to see them manipulate the dollar price, it will likely mean a complete detachment from the euro and the pound lol

That looks interesting, it seems that they're going to attempt to manipulate the Bitcoin price themselves, this should hurry up a crash if they're actually going to devote resources to controlling it and should be very amusing to watch, I didn't think the U.S government would actually go with this scenario but they're more desperate to protect the image of a stable dollar than I thought.

My favourite one is seeing a coin tick up slightly and then somebody immediately making a post about how fucking awesome what they've bought is and that it's going to get pumped.

That's one thing which Americans do all the time which particularly irritates me, they clearly don't know what socialism is.

I was just wtfing over that comment above you Eisenhower34 and then I just went "Ohhhh It's dank!" lol yeah, don't bother trying to respond to him guys, he's one of our resident psychopaths.

And so will I! just to mess with you.

holy shit, they're actually debating it? This is real news because most politicians refuse to even talk about it, better to deliberately keep the peasantry ignorant of the inner workings of money.

I think there's a high possibility that there's life out there but nope, haven't seen one myself

That's my point regardless, just make it completely illegal, if they're going to pay for it they're going to have to do it honestly through taxation, the only reason people vote for it is because they know their children are going to have to instead, the pricks, only on this planet do parents and grandparents think it's totally fine for them to not have to pay anything and their children should just because they had the good fortune to be born here.

I love that, the way people call other people cowards who use anonymity to fight psychopaths like the KKK and others who would immediately start targeting their friends and family if these people knew who they all were, gotta love the naivete in that because it just goes to show you how ignorant they are of what these people are willing to do. Unless you can assure everybody on the internet that their defenceless families won't be attacked in retaliation for them doing the right thing then you have no right to lecture them about not showing their faces, until then, fuck off.

These people are scumbags and won't play fair, that's just reality and as I said, if they knew who the anonymous members were if they couldn't get to the members they'd lynch their families.

Money received going to leave feedback now! That's two successful payments in a row.

Sometimes you'll find as well that the people they're copying from are stuck in the past and refuse to adapt or create something new and that happens a LOT these days and the newer bunch just come along and changes everything because they acknowledge what the problem is, that's how civilisation progresses, obviously there will be fakes out there but when someone is a genuine expert they've usually earned it.

I'm sure if I'm wrong the others will correct me on this but I'm pretty sure giveaways and faucets get deleted now because they get spammed around too much and it's for such a small amount of money as well really.

Just like with our economies, you can't navigate out of it, you have to destroy it and start over from the beginning.

It depends on the scale of the fraud, if it's small term then it is fairly easy for people to deal with it on their own but sometimes with something like MTGOX for example you need the combined resources of a government to carry out a proper investigation and make sure the fucker doesn't run off. I mean, in theory and ideally yes, we should be able to do it, but there's always the problem of mob rule, where an angry crowd would much rather lynch somebody they suspect than bother to investigate properly and that's the case with any crimes, you often need a third party with a level head who doesn't have any stake in what's going on to look at things.

It is good that people are coming up with all sorts of ideas to combat fraud, but even I'll admit this is why we need a very limited form of government to handle crime and fraud cases but that's why I like Libertarianism in the first place.

Might be worth asking around always opportunities with Bitcoin

LOL I'm not surprised I'm the only one who thought about this as a solution for owning a car, but yes, one of the best things about having an APC would be the fact that tailgating wankers wouldn't be able to mess up your car, they'd just crumple up against the back of it.
