Don't worry about it. The slaves are building the tools to liberate all information. Soon the long era of government/corporate deception/coercion will come to a close. The oligarchs will be robbed of their power.
A new renaissance has begun. All lies will burn away in the light of the information age.
And we will be free.

They have, people who bought gold before the year 2005 and hodled it did made a huge profit as shown below:  And it will happen again, with what commodity or with which coin, hard to say but it is going to happen. And govt can't do anything about it. Or looked at another way...  The profits from gold are really more about the decline of fiat than anything else. Remember, the value of any commodity is relative to the value of all other commodities! |

Life sentences for non violent crimes?  I hate the ddos people and hackers in general as much as everyone else but wow. bitcoin people will be declared hackers because: The law would have a maximum sentence of 14 years for attacks that create "a significant risk of severe economic or environmental damage or social disruption".Cool story.

One of the sneakier aspects of bit coin is the potential to shut down the war machines. That is the true value. Future wealth is a nice bonus though.
Correct, world peace is the much bigger prize to be won with the mass adoption of crypto over nation-state war-funding scrip. Tinyurl.com/BTCvsPolitic Title should read, "abandon fiat scrip, end all war". |

This is very positive for Bitcoin; however, just because the CEO holds a certain sentiment, it doesn't necessarily mean that the company will have to follow suit. Like it has been mentioned, lobbying to the company's board is an entirely different situation.
That said, I think the board should be lobbied to; that would actually be a much bigger step than stating it in some sort of press release.
If there is money to be made they will get in line. That is the nature of commerce. or they could protect their current business model by getting lobbyists to go against bitcoin. Sure, they could do this. For awhile. Look how long Blockbuster held out against the one-two punch of piracy* [sic] and Netflix! Oh wait, they crashed and burned hard. Nevermind. *Non-slander term = digital culture sharing. |

so now the OP realises making money is bad. he should just steal what he wants and hurt who he wants, just to survive. as long as he never makes any money. "The measure of the state’s success is that the word anarchy frightens people, while the word state does not. We are like those African slaves who believe that their master is their benefactor, or those Russians who still believe that Stalin was their guardian." -Joseph Sobran |

Clueless capitalism apologists spotted congregating in this thread. Avoid eye contact, they have a propensity for violence when it comes to enforcing profit.

Finally got around to watching it today. His words sound like some of the brightest speakers in the run up to the American Revolution. I suspect this technology will finally finish what they started. Well spoken. Please share the vid with anyone you care about. Thanks! Your signature is awesome as well by the way. I was forced to read Voltaire in college and got hooked on his writings. It is nice to see a literature reference in this reality tv driven time. Reality TV, Facebook, Twitter.. our society is being systemically dumbed down. Personally, I do not believe this is a coincidence. |

Who are you??? Just one more random nobody who has suffered enough to become disillusioned of their government-sponsored programming. My anti-theism dovetailed nicely into anti-capitalism. I don't much like cults or pseudo-sciences. Here are some wise words relevant to this thread: "I have always thought the principal utility of Bitcoin is that it renders any sort of mandatory taxation model unviable. I am firmly persuaded that as Bitcoin takes hold taxes will have to return to what they were in ancient Greece : willing donations to the state treasury, and something people openly took pride in. This shift will bring about all the improvements we were vainly trying to achieve in the old money paradigm, such as public accountability and reasonable expenditure in one fell swoop : good luck getting people to donate to the police department if they don’t like the police. And good luck with the welfare programs, for sure. Add to that a shift of contracts from the old model to the new and suddenly you have - and I mean this quite literally - a new Renaissance. Man at the center of all things. Man, the willing enforcer of his own promises. Man, the willing contributor to the wealth of an obviously much reduced, but by that fact probably much nicer, lovable and huggable cute little state. I’m crying with joy over here, my toes are curling in untold glee, I have little doubt that I shall live to see this, all of it. And for the first time in many, many years I feel again like the world is worth living in." -Mercia Popescu ( source)  |

I am a fairly committed "capitalist coward"  yet I find my self agreeing with a "crazy commie" quite often. We may believe in this experiment for different reasons but the outcome is great for everyone.  |

There's a bit of a superiority complex building for those that do "get it" and have a vision to get outside of the govt created box of institutional slavery. How can we help but feel superior? Looking around at a world of blinded slaves who believe they're free, and one can only feel pity, sadness, and compassion. It will make us bitcoiners rich, but it will be at the expenses of fiat holders.  |

Now if you want to do it with bitcoin, it will cost you about 10 cents and it's instant. No middleman means you don't get ripped off and the banks get nothing. If you wanted to buy something online before bitcoin the only option was credit card or a third party payment site like PP. Now people have a choice, and that choice is innumerably superior to any third party service, why? Because it's free and it's run by people for people, not by people for the greedy fucks at the top of the corporate ladder. Rock on, you are making me wet you reasonable mofo. |

It's funny that every member of Bitinstant ended up being a criminal. "Your Honor, years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free." -Eugene V. Debs Debs was sentenced on November 18, 1918, to ten years in prison. He was also disenfranchised for life. Debs presented what has been called his best-remembered statement at his sentencing hearing. What do the selfish capitalist cowards of the world have to say in response to that, I wonder?I can't say that I know a whole lot about Debs, but he probably wouldn't have referred to people with whom he disagreed in the manner that you just did. I thought that leftists were all about tolerance. Ignorance is both evil and rampant in our society, and I am therefore one pissed off, intolerant son of a bitch. Sorry about that. As ignorance is bliss, so knowledge is suffering. |

The stock market is basically the same thing... No, buying stocks is buying ownership shares in a company, which is tantamount to BUYING THE LABOR OF THE WORKERS. This is also called WAGE SLAVERY. Stock owners = labor owners = slave owners. The harsh reality is that capitalism has thoroughly corrupted democracy. It has established and solidified the rule of the 1%, and hardened America's dream of social mobility into a neo-feudal caste system from our worst nightmares. Even after Bitcoin has annihilated fiat (3-5 years), the greater evil will remain. The problem our species must now solve is capitalism. Capitalism necessitates organized hierarchy-based violence to function, otherwise it would collapse. Here's what you need to understand: On Earth there is a zero-sum game between violence and reason. As one waxes, the other diminishes. Bitcoin does not involve the nation-state, which like capitalism, necessitates hierarchy-based violence to exist... "Premise Four: Civilization is based on a clearly defined and widely accepted yet often unarticulated hierarchy. Violence done by those higher on the hierarchy to those lower is nearly always invisible, that is, unnoticed. When it is noticed, it is fully rationalized. Violence done by those lower on the hierarchy to those higher is unthinkable, and when it does occur is regarded with shock, horror, and the fetishization of the victims."
-Derrick Jensen If you like reason more than you like violence, join the revolution and melt some or all of your fiat into Bitcoin. If you like violence more than you like reason, keep on supporting fiat and your local nation-state murder-machine. Also, please kill yourself for the good of humanity. Suicide is the natural ethical choice for any lover of violence. Related: Sunset of the State Yours in compassion and solidarity, All my love, World Citizen Beliathon |

When a great tree falls in the forest, the canopy is opened and the forest floor is flooded with new sunlight. Many new trees will grow to replace the old one that has died. Exchanges dying will never hurt Bitcoin in the grand scheme of things, only temporarily delay the inevitable. |
