3-day uptrend... 30-day even. All good news, no more Gox to stop us. Jet packs are full. Prepare to strap in, bears.
Edit: Possibly the best news of all: Stolfi is running low on energy. To our Latin American friends I say, "Make hay while the sun shines." Sell everything you own, steal what isn't yours and sell that as well, then sell your own mothers (yes, plural); put it all into Bitcoin. Mere months later, make your friends jealous as you ride smoothly around town in a Jaguar. Invite them over to your new mansion for a champagne jacuzzi party where all guests are beautiful and nude. Smile widely to show off your new gold grill. Jangle fingers draped in an endless supply of bling. Untold riches await just inside the tent.

gotta say i am impressed with our forum though, it has been about ten pages of this argument and Hitler has not been mention yet, correct? what's that fundemental rule of internet forums, all arguments eventually devolve into invoking of hitler?
Very true. I came close but pulled back. He's just so tempting to end an absurd argument with. |

I consider myself extremely fortunate to have begun working from home @2007 and so far managed to pay the rent with low hours and no boss.
What is your secret, o wise one? Seriously, that is totally where I want to be. I could even afford to take a substantial pay cut to do so. No secret, just lucky so far. I design/build mostly corporate Drupal web sites. |

Damn, all this philosophy in last 10-15 pages makes this thread boring  I could start talking about religion if you are tired of philosophy.  Why rehash when you've already been roundly thumped in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=211865.0 |

Counterpoint: Volkswagen in Germany has an organized labor rate of about 98%, workers have 32hour work weeks and 6 weeks (IIRC) of holiday per year. And half of the seats in the board of advisories are represantatives of the workers*. Yet, they are quite profitable.
America has an odd work ethic. There's some sort of bravado attached to it, along with this unquenchable thirst for money. If you don't work 40 hours a week (instead of, say, spending that valuable time with your family) then you are a leech, a drain, a loser, etc. Business owners have come to expect you answer your cell phone at night and weekends. One is deemed more of a "real man" if he slaves away at overtime, filling up the weekend with more work. All the rats in the race end up similarly however. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have begun working from home @2007 and so far managed to pay the rent with low hours and no boss. |

Stolfi, are you DDOSing the forum again? Look, I know you're an ultrabear but DDOSing the forum is just not cricket.

Oh man, piling on naked shorts in JPM coin? What competing banker could resist?
Just admit that 686f646c's last post of the guitar cowboy made you think of barely resistible naked shorts. It's cool, man, it's cool. We're all friends here. |

insight: friend of mine working in JP Morgan in London also confirmed they are kinda elaborating their own coin as we speak..  JPMorgancoin? lol. I can't wait for it. They'll be great for buying early and then shorting the shit out of (like all alts). |

insight: friend of mine working in JP Morgan in London also confirmed they are kinda elaborating their own coin as we speak.. They may succeed with novices but only until the banks fuck it up somehow, at which point people will begin to understand why they should support a coin not backed by any company/cartel. |

This must be the Atlas who used to haunt this forum. He's grown into a Captain of Industry and become a part of the wealthy elite. All his dreams have been fulfilled. |

I have have been making typos all day. Not sure why. Oh well.  It's your god's purpose for you. If you were smart, like JoJo, you'd worship me. I don't do petty things like make you spell poorly. I also offer a nice afterlife points program, partnering with many afterworld shops. |

Aaaaand suddenly the ask side grows a thousand coins bigger around 650... shall I make popcorns or it is just a fad?
Fad or not it is near impossible to have too much popcorn. |

Jorge: http://www.coindesk.com/huobi-ceo-addresses-fake-trading-volume-rumours/'When I asked him to estimate how much the lack of fees might distort the trading volume, he said that he could easily see a “5-times increase” in trades because high-frequency traders can make profits off of much narrower spreads. Instead of just volume, Li believes that customers should evaluate exchanges based on their liquidity, depth, and the size of the company. At least these are the metrics that he is measuring Huobi against competitors' |

In the end it boils down to the question of whether you trust people in general. I do. And if you don't, you're afraid that they'll be mean to you without the presence of some punishing force...I would suggest traveling around a bit more.
It isn't a matter of trust. We have history to show us people are animals. While it has lately become vogue to sneer at the U.S., our laws, police and fire forces are the reason people KEEP coming here in droves. Unfounded trust provides a scammer's paradise because people are animals. Edit: nevermind. I'm going to skip ahead a few pages. From time to time when they're focused on price I forget how annoying and dim Libertarians and Anarchists are. I need to jump ahead to some dinosaur charts or something. The naivete is exasperating. |

why do you think, while most people don't want to live in a dog eat dog world, that we will have one in a free society?
naivete at its finest. why did we develop a code of laws to begin with, because everyone is an angel? |

Yes. Perhaps I don't care that I don't have good access to roads if I can telecommute and Jeff Bezos will drone my groceries in.
So you'd like to return to pre-Roman times with no roads AND you want us to take that argument as serious? Not at all what I said and not even simply a poor representation of what I said. I'm disappointed in you. My point is that other solutions may be more optimal but we are locked into "roads roads roads" by government action. Perhaps we would all have flying cars or 300mph underground vacuum tubes or something. I understood and I don't take your flying car argument seriously. We have roads because they were/are incredibly important to commerce. We don't have tolls every 100 yards because its impractical. When and if we get to a point we don't need roads, bring this silly argument back up. |
