Um, wtf???
I prefer the much simpler explanation of our brains being a network of electrical impulses, designed to help us survive and reproduce, but having more information stored than we can possibly process and make sense of, rather than this extra-body existence and reincarnation.
...
Haha, in your simple explanation, if consciousness is just a product of electrical impulses in your brain, then answer me this simple question - what makes a particular consciousness *your* consciousness? When you say "[brain] ...having more information stored than we can possibly process", who is this mysterious *we* that processes it? How *you* ended up in this biological shell with brain and stuff? See, if you never existed before, then what triggered your appearance in this strange form at this time on this planet? |

Authority people working to enforce these rules would eventually want to get paid in bitcoins.
Any authority will quickly go bankrupt wasting significant amount of coins on the rule enforcement.
Going after the pools is futile thanks to P2Pool.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QDT58Q6ZxoI've been searching and well... I think Dr. Newton has pretty much figured it out through putting dozens of patients in hypnosis. According to him, we do reincarnate and we choose to live specific lives to learn certain lessons. Apparently there is life everywhere in every form and I find this funny in the context of libertarian philosophy: Life is inherently voluntary according to Dr. Newton. We can choose to stay on Earth after we die and watch our loved ones. We can choose to live multiple lives on Earth or live a life of a gaseous being on another planet. We can choose to live a life in the third-world or the first-world. Now, I am still skeptical but if this is how the universe functions in the regards to sentient beings, I am truly content. I am truly happy. ...and apparently what he reports are universal visions across all his clients. Anyways, what do you think of reincarnation? Is it just too good to be true? P.S. Dr. Newton used to be a complete atheist. The OP is spot on. Years of research and some sort of 'inner knowing' have led me to the same conclusions. I would recommend the channelings of Bashar and Kryon on youtube to anybody interested in this topic. EDIT: Forgot to mention Dolores Cannon one of the pioneers in regression hypnosis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihH0L_bffAA |

I'll admit that I have been putting all of my income into Bitcoins for the past year or so.
So, yeah, I am biased. I am attached to Bitcoin.
You can spend tiny fraction of your bitcoins to build an equal representation in any successful alt-chain. |

As long as Bitcoin stays open source and voluntary, I don't see a problem of anybody funding its development even if it's a CIA or JPMorgan. What we should fight for is to have an open market for alternative currencies.
Cryptocurrency is best served as a natural monopoly. Bitcoin will likely be the only popular cryptocurrency. It's not a like it or leave it type of thing. We do no not need it controlled by the government or the largest bank. It doesn't have to be a monopoly. If we look at gold, for example, one might argue that it was a natural monopoly on money, but I would argue that silver (even though less valuable) served as money as well. And we already have "silver" to Bitcoin's "gold" - it's called Litecoin. ... I'm going to stick with Bitcoin and defend it until death for the interests of those who want a protocol that can't be easily changed. I am not going to Litecoins, Cosbycoins or Free Speech Zone Coins. Thanks. I prefer to think of it this way: Bitcoin is a multidimensional form of life and it intersects with our 3D reality in a variety of ways. Intersections may appear to be separate objects in space and time but they really are just a part of a bigger more complex idea. |

And we already have "silver" to Bitcoin's "gold" - it's called Litecoin. Once the "current" coin (Bitcoin at the moment) moves to a specialized mining hardware like ASICs the general purpose hardware becomes available for the next experiment (currently Litecoin). The same shift will likely happen again when Litecoin ASICs show up at some point in the future. Litecoin brings faster blocks and as a result higher overall network throughput (due to 1Mb per block limit) before hard fork is required. It also will adopt important blockchain optimizatons earlier in its evolution and will likely have more equal coin distribution than Bitcoin due to increased community awareness when it was started. I'm sure there will be other successful coins as well. Adoption wise, it would take one or two major payment processors like Bit-Pay to take any alt-coin on board to make all the difference. |

Nice video! I liked the part at 1:32:34 the most  However the main theme across the whole movie is about how continuous deregulation caused the crisis and how the solution is to seemingly have more regulation. That and the fact that it's coming from the source as "official" as Sony got me worried. Remember how public manipulation works? First create the problem, then show them the solution! It happened so many times in the past that I don't even know where to start. This time doesn't seem to be different. Yes, the crisis was an inside job, yes, it was engineered as a "problem" only to corner us into their "solution" - total and complete financial control, restrictions on cash deals that we now see in Italy, capital controls in Greece and so on. And look who they put as savers for those crumbling economies - Mario Monti, Lucas Papademos - both former employees of Goldman Sachs! Surprise, surprise! So the same people who engineered the crisis are now offering us a solution out of it. Not gonna happen... EDIT: http://www.presseurop.eu/en/content/article/1177241-our-friends-goldman-sachs |

These rules are hardly enforcible. Where do you put these dirty lists? It will be prohibitively difficult cost-wise to regulate the whole network, any govt body attempting to do that would run out of coins very soon, or are you suggesting they will be paying for this job in dollars |

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."
Eisenhower's Farewell Address to the Nation
PS: Personally I believe TBF is a good thing for Bitcoin at this point and was inevitable. Would you rather somebody else create a foundation and call it like that? There is nothing in there that would prevent it!
To alleviate the concerns we probably need more of these foundations not less to keep thing decentralized.

Bitcoin's horoscope for Monday August 20, 2012
...
In November Bitcoin's ruler Saturn moves into a new position, triggering a series of events which encourage a review of restrictions you’d once accepted.
Alternatively to a supposed positive resolution on Bitcoin's legal status, this could mean a removal of 1Mb per block restriction currently in place. I'm now inclined to think that The Bitcoin Foundation announced recently, while being a good thing, doesn't really remove any restrictions and changing 1Mb per block limit in November seems too early as it would require a hard fork. So my next best guess for the November event is the ability to transact safely without a need to wait for confirmations: http://www.ethlife.ethz.ch/archive_articles/120924_Neuer_Globe_Bitcoin_fw/index_EN“We are already in talks with the operators of the Bitcoin network and have proposed a concrete solution, which is now due to be implemented.”

Bitcoin it's true that you have been facing challenging celestial circumstances. But let me say that you are now only a few weeks away from a tremendously positive, long-term change in the cosmic climate.
Before that however Bitcoin I suspect you may soon be invited or coaxed to engage in what amounts to some tainted behavior. Don't do it. Make an extra effort to be incorruptible.
Enjoy this weekend's new moon & the fresh perspectives that it gives.
...
I'm wondering what that "tainted behavior" might be... Is it the involvement in a recent tax returns extortion? Or is it the creation of The Bitcoin Foundation, which I personally believe is a great thing for Bitcoin, but many think will lead to centralization and eventual corruption? Astrology wise tomorrow is rough & Saturday is dire with a full moon to top it all off on Sunday, I will be amazed if we don't have a weekend of doom - but hey it's bitcoin & manipulations rules  September 28th is the deadline for the stolen tax returns release, wonder if that will cause the sh*t storm. |

I see the symbolism in the new logo as the small, inherently different in design Bitcoin (small circle with square in it) will soon carry the weight of the whole World on its shoulders currently run by fiat (big square with circle inside). As Francis Drake said "Greatness from small Beginnings" or should we say "Annuit Coeptis" which means "our enterprise is now a success!" The old era is now rapidly coming to a well deserved end as the world embraces new energy. I wish the Bitcoin Foundation a great success! |

I'm not an American - yayyy!
Either way - Bin Laden or conspiracy it hasn't impacted on my life ever for even 1 second.
I played minecraft yesterday with absolutely no 911 consequences, and then me and my wife (my wife and I for you grammar buffs) went out for a nice meal.
I suspect my life tomorrow will be pretty similar (except my wife will be cooking).
No consequences for me, so hence I don't give a shit.
No consequences until you will be flying with your wife on a Boeing modified with QRS11 GyroChips (electronic hijack) Boeing Uninterruptable Autopilot and they decide to pull a trigger. Thanks, but no thanks. |

exactly what burning jet fuel did on 9/11.
There was no burning jet fuel involved with WTC 7. That's correct. WTC 7 was, in fact, the only collapse of the three that could feasibly have been replicated with explosives. However, the lack of any blast sound on recordings pretty much conclusively rules that possibility out.The lack of something cannot conclusively rule anything out. It's like saying "No one has seen it, therefore it doesn't exist" Lol. Didn't it occur to anybody that there are technologies other than explosives to deal with steel support beams without any sound? Something like high temperature chemical reaction involving thermite? Oops, haven't heard of that one! |

If you check out Bitcoin2012 conference speakers list, you will find the name Field McConnell. https://sites.google.com/a/bitcoin2012.com/homepage/speakersHe seems to have found a good explanation of how aircraft have been maneuvered into buildings. Field McConnell: economics, transport flying 19,000+ hours, fighter flying 3700+ hours, total flying 23000+ hours, Marine, Navy AirForce experience. On December 10, 2006, Field McConnell reported the illegal weaponization of Boeing commercial aircraft to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Northwest Airlines, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), NORAD and the USNA Superintendent. Shortly thereafter, Northwest Airlines, compelled by the United States Department of Justice (USDoJ), silenced Field McConnell due to his inadvertent re-opening of a safety issue closed in the June 2006 $615 million settlement paid by Boeing to the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ).
In the warnings, Field McConnell alleged that his study of September 11, 2001 lead him to believe that at least 108 Boeing airliners were in service that had been modified with QRS11 GyroChips (electronic hijack) and "something more sinister".
Boeing admitted on March 3, 2007 the existence of the Boeing Uninterruptable Autopilot. To date, 9 February, 2012, Airline Pilots Association (ALPA) has suppressed this information.
Crime-scene investigation radio station co-host for leaderless private intelligence agency Abel Danger (abeldanger.net / C2CSI.info).

Almost the entire country believed George W. Bush without question for a couple of years.
?? Sorry if I am missing sarcasm yet again, but that is total bullshit. What on earth would make you think that? -- In other news, so as not to be left out of the circle jerk, here's my youtube link. 9-11 Explained in 5 minutes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLXyB5GtfBUThe best 9/11 video so far! Hilarious |

- The believer credits the government for masterminding complex scenarios.
- The believer thinks the government is horribly incompetent (except in masterminding these events).
Well, which is it then? It's both. The believer is generally inconsistent in his logic. The government is not a single monolithic entity, there are dozens of fractions with their own conflicting interests or so it seems. But the fishy part is no matter what talking head they put at their facade, the gist of the policy never changes despite loud promises of otherwise. Don't you find it suspicious? Anyway, forget the building 7, why fighter jets weren't scrambled? Is it really that simple to hit the military headquarters of the most powerful country on Earth? Just quietly maneuver a commercial aircraft and crash it? Really? And nobody in the whole country would move a finger? Really? |
