I don't think it's a good idea. I'm sure some of those BTC will be lost, because some people won't understand anything about it, or won't care about it. Hey, it's gonna be very little money. $5 to 70,000 people make $350,000, real serious money. It's a bit like faucets. I know some guys who've tried it, but when they discovered the transaction fee was above what they got, or that they couldn't exchange their BTC to cash, they quickly forgot it.

Got my second payment yesterday, without me doing anything but posting regularly. It came in the same second as first week. It's very little money, but it's beautiful software.

Who are you to say the free market has failed. BTC hasn't failed. There are more and more shops and places which accept it.

On the contrary, the UN has failed everywhere. Recently, it hasn't been able to prevent anything in Gaza of Ukraine, and it's not very effective in controlling the Ebola outbreak. You may not believe in the free market, and I respect that, but I don't believe in organizations. History teach us they fail all too often.

BTC would not be any better with a central bank and an authority to control things.

I'm happy BK is moving to Canada.
It's a scheme that's called competition. Corporations, and a few individuals like me, have changed country because of various advantages like lower taxes. The US has every right to lower its tax burden, or see all its largest corporations and wealthiest individuals move away. This is happening in Europe too, where thousands of French have left their country for Switzerland or the UK.

Well check this:

This was a terrorist, he was an American citizen. I don't think he was related to the senator of Arizona, though, but it shows that if there's a risk of terrorists coming illegally through the Southern border, a much bigger threat is with people entering U.S. soil legally.

Thanks for your welcome. I understand that a liberal republic is a place where the government doesn't interfere in anyone's daily life, and the US shall be regarded as such, but the problem is how to fix a limit on what the government of a liberal republic can do. It's dramatic that to start most kinds of business nowadays, one needs a licence and that on any income this business will generate, one must fill forms about it and share part of it (in some liberal republics a large part) with the liberal republic's managers, who may sometimes redistribute some of that.

I should be a partisan of liberal republics, but as a business owner (well, very small business), I often dream of anarchy.

Independence from all central banks and from all governments has always been my first motivation. Ability to send money everywhere quickly and cheaply comes second, but I've never had any interest in the get rich quick schemes that are so popular on the Internet.
I don't dream.

I don't know anything about this transaction, and I don't want to know. This isn't my business, and this isn't yours.
Sometimes I hate the blockchain because everything is recorded. That's why I believe BTC will never replace cash.

I haven't voted yet. I guess I should choose "Liberal republic" but this would need more clarification, as the range of possibles within the definition of a liberal republic is just too great.

I'm certainly no part of the liberal left (even though this would have to clearly defined), but I didn't know the Feds had warned Texas about this. I'll add I'm pretty surprised with that. I've had the opportunity to meet and to talk with people who had crossed borders illegally, and they were... Peasants. Really poor folks. Exactly the opposite of the man I've seen (yeah, I watched the whole video) beheading American journalist James Foley. That guy was soft-spoken, he spoke good English, and talked like an educated man, even though he had crazy ideas. I'm sure this man has a passport, and that he travels by plane. Then the world has seen that IS is very well-funded. So some people scare others with poor immigrants, but the real terrorists are elsewhere. Remember Bin Laden was from one of Saudi Arabia's richest families.

This is correct, but I do not have the same rights. And I'm not costing anything to the taxpayers, as I don't have any right to health insurance nor a pension. All that while I do pay VAT or sales tax with anything I buy. I travel a lot, and I see that countries which offer the most to their citizens have the largest budget deficits. They're all failing, and their failure makes me happy. Anyway, I'm currently staying in a little country where there's no income tax. I don't have the right to work nor a residency permit, but I have no doubt I'm useful to that country, giving more than I receive. This is what really matters.

Let's forget the citizenship issues, and focus on this giving/receiving question. I suggest anyone receiving more than he gives be sent to forced labour. I'll remain free.

I do have basic deposit bank accounts in foreign countries, but none deals with BTC. I'm not sure I want one which does.
What matters to me (and what I have) is the ability to wire money at will, and at no cost, to an exchange where I can do BTC operations.

That's the guy saying Islamic terrorists will invade the US coming from Mexico, right?

This is assuredly the biggest BS I've heard this month. The guy may be BTC friendly, and that's cool, but the world has yet to see a Mexican jihadist, and he should know that. People should remember 9/11 attackers came as tourists with valid visas. They didn't cross the border illegally.

This market needs a healthy dose of competition, as all markets, but customers shall keep in mind that Internet access cost is related to the size of the country. In a large country, big investments are needed to build the network. Internet access is cheaper in Monaco!

Check the American version of what happened here:

http://www.latimes.com/world/worldnow/la-fg-china-fighter-jet-intercept-20140822-story.html

The Chinese are getting really mad. 220 km from Hainan Island is more than 400 km from mainland China, these are international waters.

Who cares about that?

Some people are smarter than others, and it's normal that some are richer than others. Some people may want to a revolution to change that, and it will probably end up not changing anything, but BTC has no built-in function to redistribute wealth. It's not its role, but it may still change a few things things as some early miners weren't rich when they started.

I've been undocumented most of my life, nobody has ever told me I was a criminal.
I'm changing country quite often, and I guess it helps when I show my passport with lots of stamps. And if I'm working in countries where I don't have any right to work, I make it difficult to prove I'm working or that I'm earning money.

I joined 3 days ago and got paid within minutes. Impressive software.
Since I don't want to be associated with any gambling stuff, it's great for me.

No, never.
I travel a lot and I don't want to carry any additional device besides my laptop and my tablet.
I believe it's one of BTC's greatest asset that it's immaterial. I don't want to change that.

Nobody controls, nor can define what BTC is. It's out in the wild. There's nothing wrong with it being several things at the same time. Just like a chainsaw or a hammer can be a tool or an arm.
