...until the govt tries to tax you for just breathing...
isn't that pretty much exactly what obamacare is? Yeah pretty much. Another tax subsidy on the middle class proletariat to pay for those with poor health, and those unwilling to better their health. The wealthy elite and politicians don't have to pay anything. And the corrupt insurance companies and drug companies still get to overcharge and prosper. But when premiums finally hit an unaffordable ATH and Average Joe can't afford to carry health insurance anymore, it will implode one day. The implosion has already begun. |

Just no. There is a distinct difference between 'limited' and 'impossible'. Completely different.
Join the BCash dev team, put your money with your mouth is and prove it. Or STFU troll. |

Any comments on this?  What about you? You decided to post it. Do you have any comments? well that doesn't make too much sense as much as i can understand what he's trying to prove.... but still, there must be some sense, guy here not simply a troll lol basically, don't know what to say, asking for some more expert's comments  What LukeJr is saying is: The Linux of today is not the same as the Linux 0.1 version that was Linus Torvalds "original design" The iPhone of today is not same as the iPhone 1.0 that was Steve Jobs "original design" The Keurig coffee maker of today is not the same as the 1.0 Mr. Coffee maker that was Vincent Marotta's "original design" etc., etc... things need to evolve, man |

Seriously? It is something I contemplated myself with my hatred for the state and the amount of time I spent of my life fighting for liberty. Only to realize that so much of my life was wasted fighting for something nobody else really wants.
What's on the other side of victory? For me I am discovering that. What is it I am fighting for? What, in my own life, is being restricted by the evil government?
The reality is I can find freedom in my own life and not worry about them. I can move forward in my own life and have that future on my own. I can focus on the things I'd wanted to do before getting caught up in the whole political game. Sure, the knowledge of how things work has helped in my decision making, but I don't have to be a warrior for "the cause". I can be a warrior for my self.
Exactly this. So many people getting all angsty online about the evil government and demanding change, when they don't realize that not only are they wasting their precious life/time/effort in doing so, but also there is nothing else needed to be done than to just let the evil government implode in on itself. Become your own warrior. Create local change. Build local community. Become your own bank. Become self-sufficient and self-reliant. Stay healthy. Eliminate your debts. Grow your own food. Reduce your carbon footprint. Store your savings in deflationary assets. There won't be civil war and true change until the govt tries to tax you for just breathing. So until then... |

When conspiracy deniers want to lump everyone together who : 1. only believe a theory that might have some plausibility, some actual credible evidence to validate/support it, and can see the MSM lies, inconsistencies and cover up (incidentally, these are the theories that years later get proven to have been true) in with those who : 2. believe all conspiracies including the ones that are laughably ridiculous and insane, and have not even a shred of credible evidence to support it 
"Try to paint everyone with the same broad brush, and eventually you run out of paint."For the record, I think the moon landing definitely happened and flat earthers are fkn idiots.  |

@Anon136
That is to me an accurate chart on price manipulation which is definitely worth to be mentioned here on the WO. The Bart Simpson pattern became a thing and, trust me, I would love if it would cease.
So it goes now, there is not much to do but hey, after the third Bart pattern I started to take some profit and bought a bit more on the way down.
If they play, I will do that too.
To what do you attribute it? I mean more specifically than just "manipulation" generally. Looking at that so-called "Bart Simpson" chart pattern, I don't really see the mystery. That is exactly what a trading market pattern would look like if you have: a) major sideways wash trading b) the float on exchanges being really thin c) only one or a few whale market participants using large margin d) volume being led by one or only a few exchanges Which is the environment we are in right now. The whale is ready to rek anyone who takes up a sizable position in either direction. It could be the exchange owners themselves. |

I really like the quotable statement he made @17:18 referring to the newbs that entered the market during the run up: "They came for the price. Make them stay for the principles."
I.e., help educate them. |

I’m early to mid 30’s. Won’t reveal my exact age but yeah, those of us with a half decent number of coins do seem to be over 30.
I'd like to believe that the majority of twenty-something year olds out there are learning about the Fed and central banking corruption, the world of finance, investing and saving extra money instead of acquiring more debt, and buying bitcoin like crazy, etc. But historical patterns of age-related behavior tell us something different.  |

Who cares? Technology is a genie that once let out of the bottle can not be put back in. It will be with us forever. Bureaucrats and systems of record and title transfer come and go. In the long march of time even mountains are reduced to dust by the simple flowing of water. Technology is like the water and Bureaucrats are not even close to being mountains.
No I get what you are saying. Perhaps blockchain will eventually find it's way into a few other places here and there where it makes sense to have it. Though if the next 30 years go by and I still can't legally transfer a car title to another person for free via a decentralized blockchain solution, it won't mean much sweat to me as I'll probably be close to death anyway, lol. |

Idk. This is meme kinda true. But there is a huge range of applications out there where we dont NEED blockchain, but it would still be really cool!
I would love to have my vehicle ownership represented by a colored coin. I could use a trezor like device to start it up and no one would ever be cracking that security. I could transfer ownership via blockchain and it would be amazingly smooth and so much easier and nicer than a traditional title transfer. I could allow someone limited access to it like if my buddy wanted to borrow my car on Tuesday I could just temporarily authorize his digital signature with my digital signature and I could do it remotely.
Yes and in a perfect world, this is how it should work. You should have the power to transfer title of ownership of something you own directly to another party without a third party in the middle. But that's the problem. When state-run Bureaus of Motor Vehicles have centralized control of title issuance, transfer, and registration of motor vehicles, and of course make revenue off of that activity, then why would they ever relinquish that power back to the individual? They would make so many excuses has to why that activity should be state-run and not decentralized. Also, I wouldn't doubt that state-run BMV's will eventually try to implement some sort of blockchain solution behind the scenes as a 'calling card' to say that they are trying to change and do something. But I don't think it would be more efficient that what they have today. |

Edit: Regarding the photos, those I have no comment on. They could have been faked, sure; the actual landings though, I don't believe so.
exactly As someone noted above, the whole Apollo program was primarily a propaganda/PR effort. My theory is that the pictures came back fucked up, over exposed, out of focus...whatever, and the marketing people were like "what the fuck is this? we can't use this." and then they did what marketing people do... I agree this is the most plausible explanation. |

Ah finally, another "blockchain, not Bitcoin" article. Its been a while since I've seen one of these. Can't believe people are still out there saying this, I'm already eagerly awaiting the next blockchain, not bitcoin article.  Guess who Visa's critical infrastructure partner is, the one that failed the other night in Europe? IBM lol If people on this thread only knew IBM like I do. Having both worked directly for them as well as being an IBM consultant off and on for 18 years, I can tell you wholeheartedly that they are full of shit. They typically buy out other mature technology that is well past it's prime, and do little to nothing with it other than "Blue wash" it (aka rebrand it). They they throw 99% of their money toward hyping and marketing it to deep pocket worldwide clients. It's all about the software sales numbers. As long as they sell these garbage solutions to naive and uninformed clients, they could give a rats ass if the product actually works as stated/intended for their clients. And their ongoing support and maintenance contracts is where they make the real money, and they are a complete joke. Their IBM blockchain "products" will be no different. Their IBM crack sales and marketing teams will paint an overhyped and rosy picture of what these products can supposedly do OOTB, with pie-in-the-sky solutions for use case problems that don't exist. IBM will send in a costly team of so-called "blockchain" consultants that will rape clients of millions of $$$, and after a few years will only have a set of flashy Powerpoint slides and an elaborate and complicated set of documentation and roadmaps to show for it. Even if the IBM consultant teams finally build a working 1.0 pilot project/prototype after a few years of being there, these so-called blockchain products will never be fully implemented in production for a client that buys the product. Because the client will come to realize that developing out the full production solution will cost WAAAYYY more (like 20-50X more) than the ROI that the solution actually gives back. And would also take like 5-7+ years to build it. Once the client realizes that they've been had and lied to, they usually and eventually throw IBM out the door. But IBM will have made millions $$$ off the front end consulting work and have sold the product to them for another few million $$$, so at that point they don't even care. The IBM motto:"If you can't be part of the solution, then there is a lot of money to be made extending the problem." |
