i imagine that its a lot like the society we have today except you have choice in your government (dont jump on me ancaps i know it wouldn't actually be a government its just dro doesn't mean anything to most people so its easier to explain this way)
You're actually right about this. You would subscribe to small, local governments; anarchism in this sense is against a national, all-powerful government. If you don't like one government, you say "Well FUUUUCK YOUUUU" and then join another in your general area. In a way, governments would be privately owned, like everything else  You join them voluntarily, and if you don't like them, you can always form the government of "me". Just don't expect the governments around you to subscribe to your new law that the world is now your property  I've always described it as ~6 billion governments, each with only one citizen. I considered this possibility, but I'm not sure if people would really stick to their own single-man governments; people tend to want to follow each other's guidelines, for the sake of sameness; for example, city A would have such and such rules (written or unspoken) and city B, directly next to city A, would have similar, if not the same rules. However, city C, on the other side of the world, might have completely different rules set in place. But the point would be, in close quarters, people tend to act alike. However, I don't see why this couldn't happen naturally. OTOH, if people naturally want to create laws for themselves, this could be a different matter. Considering throughout most of history, people were ruled, they would continue this heritage of ruling. So, would children raised in an anarchistic society also believe there should be local rules, or would they believe these rules have no need to be written in stone; instead, they come naturally, or, as commonly referred, be considered "common courtesy". History doesn't show too many examples of the latter, and plenty of the former, so it's hard to say what will happen. |

Way I see it, attempting to strive for the peace using a violent system is fruitless. By playing the game of violence, to seek any sort of peace is in vain. Therefor, peace can only be attained by thwarting the system which, in essence, is violent. The most peaceful statist society is always open for more violence; people are always willing to give up their freedoms if they believe it will stop the problems in their world. But it's tragic, because all large-scale problems are caused by the system used to solve the problems. Government is great to solve a problem after it creates a problem.

Specifically, it's amazing how US folks call "libertarians"
I assure you that anarcho-capitalists exist in Europe. Well, I think that I exist, anyway. I think so I'am  Property can exist without a state - if you have land, fence and gun; then you certainly have private property. Defense of private property is easier than offense (you can even mine your land), so private property will exist without a state. Not that such extreme defenses would be needed in most cases. One can argue private property doesn't exist with the state; after all, if it is my property, why am I paying the government to exist on it? |

In other words it's the same xenophobic ignorance for example, as the few small minded Koreans here who believe foreigners are "dangerous" to their country and follow them to take pictures of them when they're on dates in an effort to support the notion to newspapers (who actually humor this crap by proceeding to publish it for shock value despite everyone's disgust) that all foreigners are "oversexed perverts" because we kiss on the first date? That kind of ignorance? I hate that kind of ignorance.
You got it. "They're not us; they must be against us. We should blame our problems on them." |

If u aren't conservative you just haven't grown up yet.
How do Bitcoin fit in that view? Fascism appeals to me more than any thing else.

Can someone educate me as to the hatred towards jews, the "zion" movement, the reason hitler hated jews, the reason people think the Holocaust didn't happen, the reason why some people think hollywood is run by jewish people, and why Israel is being helped so much by the USA?
I've made it a point to ignore politics my whole life (because it seemed like an evil game with no end and those involved in it seemed to live shorter, unhappy lives), but the older I get the more I realize I am like my father and highly pressurized to rage against injustice.
It's a longer explanation than what could fill 4 years of college, with lots and lots of history. Point is, the individual Jew has nothing to do with the "filthy Jews" anti-Jews propagate. Because the bankers which run the world (if you believe in the conspiracy) are generally Jewish, the connection is made that all Jews are the cause of the world's problems. How this connection has existed for all of history, I have no idea. I can only assume Jews are easy to spot out of a crowd; in the same way, when slavery was around, you could tell who was the slave and who wasn't. |

Why stupid laws must exist?
Because stupid people are in charge of making them. Stupid people think they're voting the other stupid people into office. It's a lovely self-contained system of stupid. Stupid is as stupid does. |

Show merchants you don't want to use fiat. Show them you want to use Bitcoin. When Merchant A realizes Merchant B accepts Bitcoin, and he's making good money from it, Merchant A will realize he's losing customers by not accepting Bitcoin.
To do this, simply favor the BTC Merchant over the Fiat Merchant. They'll fall in line as adoption grows.

An excellent, unbiased article. Thank you for sharing Unbiased is a relative term of course. Jerry Brito loves Bitcoin, so there is some implicit bias.  True, true. However, I didn't sense any "WOO HOO YEAH GO BITCOIN" going on here  |

I am next to Max Keiser as an anti banker, OK?
As am I. I just don't remember any of this anti-Jew propaganda going alongside Max. |
|
|
|
well... if you're not a banker - then why not say something negative - but true - about bankers?
Because bankers usually lie, esp. in banking matters!
In an alternate universe... |

cmon antibanker, take whatever you got up your *ss out of there and stop whining.
Sound advice. |
