I think you could structure a sole proprietorship, but that is when your problems start. In the U.S. I think you will need to get a money transmitter license. It varies state to state, but it can run into the millions of dollars in some states. Its an unholy system to keep the little man out of banking. (you and I are little men). If you could come up with a system that transfers the liability and licensing requirements to another party, then maybe there is a way to get in the revenue stream with limited exposure to regulation.

Hey look we can all make shit up!
This is what the OP's statements looks like to me.  

I'm not commenting on it, I'm just saying that this is not in the news here.

That is right. Let me correct that to clinical obesity. That comes to 35.7% of Americans. Slightly less than the food stamp sample, but certainly comparable.  About the same as the rate for rural Americans, which is 39%.

1. get source code
2. do a find and replace (bitcoin > newcoin)
3. compile! You are now the creator of newcoin.

 

Like most westerners I think girls should be encouraged to go to school. But it is true that these are recent ideas. It was not until the 1930's that American girls went to school in any numbers. And it was not for their career. They were expected to marry, have children, and shut the fuck up.

I don't know. They are perhaps more like us than we are comfortable thinking. Many grow up in poverty and corruption. Maybe the only legitimate power they ever knew was the local imam? Those kids are ripe for recruitment by groups who puff them up with delusions of adventure, riches, and respect. That is a powerful message for the disenfranchised. Of course by the time they figure out that they are only killing other Muslims over money, land, oil, and power; its too late. I feel sorry for many of them.
But make no mistake, the game is on. They would kill me and if I had to I would drop the hammer and flip their switch just as quick.


P.S. Abu Alaa al-Afari may have just been killed in an airstrike.

What someone in Oman told me. "We pray for the Jihadists, that one day they will convert to Islam."

OMG, that's crazy. He was saying this in 2011? At least he got out at $10 and is not "holding the bag".

We agree there. Gambling is mathematically provably bad as an "investment". It's the casino that wins at gambling. But obviously my point is that no one can predict the future.

Haha, yes. I stand corrected.

Its sad to see them fail, but many of those were never going to make it anyway.  

It might be cool to see that list with the reason for failure next to each one. For example Tradehill was a good company which could not find it's way through the regulation. While Silk Road faild because of it's criminal nature.

68.8 percent of American adults are considered to be overweight or obese. So what we are saying is that those who use food stamps are generally thinner than the norm.

It is the least important number for me.
What is the price? Really its a guess at value, and the price at an exchange reflects an aggregate of peoples perception of value. When we were rallying up to $1000 there was a great deal of speculation that we were about to go way up. But those guesses were wrong. Now we have fallen to a place that, for the moment, seems to support a valuation of $240. That is much more in line with the current use and scale of bitcoin. So if price is a guess, although our best one, why not look at something that is a fact instead?


Far more predictive numbers include:
1. number of venders that accept BTC
2. amount of capitol investment
3. number of markets exploiting BTC potential (online retail, remittance, etc.)
4. number of people and institutions using BTC

What will tomorrows lotto numbers be? Anyone who can correctly tell me this will have my attention. Anyone else is a guesser. I don't trade on some emotional guess by some anonymous kid. That is not how you win in the stock, bond, real estate, private investment, and bitcoin markets.  
I look at utility. Is bitcoin the fastest, cheapest, and most secure way to send money anywhere? As long as the answer is yes then this is the infancy of bitcoin. The savings for businesses and individuals is worth trillions of dollars.
This also does apply to claims about immanent spikes and charts confidently predicting specific high prices in the future. As unsatisfying as it is, we are just going to have to wait and see what will happen.

I buy all sorts of stuff. looking for a dishwasher at the moment. My last spend was a tip.

No. I don't believe in any God. I do like Islamic culture, but even if there were a God I don't think it would want a follower that does not believe.

That is an important distinction. I am not interested in disproving the existence of a God, I am interested in the truth. The reason I do not believe in any of the thousands of Gods out there is because none of them rises to the challenge of evidence.  If they did I would think differently.

And some claims are obviously provably wrong. For example some believe the Earth is 6000 years old. There are hundreds of experiments which can show this to be impossible. It is hard to believe in a super-claim like the existence of a omnipotent being when the supporting claims are so clearly incorrect.

Interesting stuff guys. We got a little off track from ISIS pedophiles, but interesting. And you gota love Willy & Merle! 

I think it is more threatening to think that someone does not need religion than it is to think that they don't want religion. If you believe that all morality and goodness comes from a God, then you see someone who is happy, ethical, loved; but without any religion... That could start things crumbling.  
It is why even obvious facts, like the fact there was no global flood, are defended. If the garden of Eden is provably impossible by DNA analysis then it calls into question the entire Bible. So DNA must be false, or a trick of the devil.
Minds are interesting things.
