Seems to me that they where just trying to kill any competitors while they where small. The only thing a capitalist hates more than a communist is a competitor. you can't do shit to goliath when you are just a david. Unless there are 30 goliaths and 3 billion davids... |

Very classy son, keep it up! I will! You carry on being a capitalism apologist, until things get so bad you're too ashamed to speak in its defense. I'll carry on changing the world by spreading truth, and there's nothing you can do to stop me.  Don't interfere with my forum business again, this is important work I'm doing here. Transcending capitalism and nation-state post-feudal warfare is the key to the survival of our species. P.S. I'm afraid even "sophomoric' is above my lowly station, I'm a deadbeat dropout debtor. Unemployed with no direction, no goals, no money, no future. I am the lowest of the low. |

There is a world of difference between a private company doing business in a free market surviving by providing beneficial services to its customers versus the state-sponsored pyramid schemes being depicted in those graphs.
All capitalist enterprises are pyramid schemes, and all corporations are state-sponsored. In my country (USA), the business elite and the political elite are the SAME PEOPLE. Over the course of the last forty years, the "american dream" has hardened into a brutal caste system with a massive, for-profit prison population. Things will get worse before they get better. We have set a course for corporate neo-fascism. This is why we say " profit is a FILTHY word". The fact is, capitalism is hitting the fan. The concept of the "free market" is a myth, and I aim to expose it. It was never free - there is and was always the use of coercion, and violence if that failed. Bitcoin is political whether you like it or not. There are other ways, you know. Have a little imagination. |

No reason to get spun up yet:
1) Perusing these forums, the majority of posters are hardcore technophiles who most likely are looking for ways where they can profitably fit in the new BTC economy while it's early days. Are these hardcore types really the market for "Circle", ahhhhhhh........ no.
2) The market for circle is Pops in Kansas who has a few extra bucks to invest or some young chump from Yutzville who has more money than sense. This crowd needs some sort of security blanket, or at the minimum, the patina of some sort of fiscal responsibility. This crowd won't enter the water until they can dip their toe. So if Circle can bring in people who otherwise would not get involved in BTC at this time, it's probably a good thing. Well said. I don't feel threatened by Circle at all, it will fail on its own if they try to pull the same old fiat shenanigans that got us into this mess. 3) Finally bitcoiners will have to get use to the idea that some corporate giant "central authority" will attempt to gen up their own cyptocurrency and try to control it. Please. No matter how much money the Corparasites throw at such an initiative, it will never approach Bitcoin in adoption or value. Pre-mining scams, theft-via-inflation, and central-control hierarchies worked in the industrial fiat-money age, they are no longer valid in the information age. Welcome to the future. Welcome to the information age. This is the place where mass-deception comes to die, motherfuckers. Your power is DONE. Here's your daily dose of TRUTH, brought to you by Beliathon:     |

The fact that Bitcoin is under attack from nation-states should be a strong indication to you that it is the right thing to do.

Pretty expected as far as what he says. Its not like the fed is going to come out and endorse BTC and point out the ways it is better than USD Yep. Nation-state fiat banking is a religion, economics is the pseudo-science which supports it. This would be roughly tantamount to McCarthy endorsing Communists in the fifties. |

Sounds familiar. Consider the following: With each passing day, the supply of fiat increases, while the supply of Bitcoin decreases. Now class, who can tell me how scarcity affects the value of a freely-traded commodity? This game only has one possible outcome. You will join us now, or you will find yourself working for us - for Bitcoin - one day soon.   Resistance is futile. |

For any investments in cryptocurrency, the correct formula for getting rich is this:
"Buy now, hold for 3-5 years, oh look there's no fiat left to sell your crypto for. Spend crypto anywhere @ 100x value you paid for it."

Conspiracy theories are disempowering. We know who the fuckers are that make us into slaves. We know their names and addresses, we know who they work for, we know their crimes.
The problem isn't some evil cabal of all-powerful overlords. The problem is obedience, complacency, apathy, and cowardice. The problem is we first-worlders still have too much to lose. That will change in time.

This is great news. If the IRS can figure out a way to tax the shit out of Bitcoin it will be around forever. Hell, they'll probably promote it on the IRS website. Cigarettes are a massive killer of citizens every year but do they legislate it away, hell no. You can't get rid of that much tax revenue; the rich assholes with all the power would shut down the government out of spite. FTFY. Remember kids, it's a big club. And you and I, are not in the club. |

No, because there were very few women involved in Bitcoin to begin with.

Very cool, I was reading it and got all excited hoping that it might be here in NYC. Nope. Ohio.

Are you sure it's a choice? Have you examined the impact of coercion? State/Corporate propaganda?

Why???
Before, every day i generated coins, now may be stay a few days without any coin.
Why??
Nothing changed in my computer
I hope you kept those coins you were mining. Funny to see people were complaining about this as early as 2010... Don't think about that too hard, you might have a realization. |

What a great idea! You could use water activated invisible ink to tattoo the QR on your scrotum. Then if someone tries to bum money while you're sunbathing you can tell him to lick your balls.
That's folly sir, folly I say. The heat of the sunlight would cause you to sweat, thereby activating the ink laid upon your scrotum! All folks who thereupon gain sight of it could steal your coins! |

If it wasn't for all the raging-against-the-machine-rhetoric folks would take the practical aspects of this more seriously. When we see the reality that the machine is a dystopia, as tragic as any work of fiction, why should we not rage against it?  |

Silly "libertarians" and their utopian free market.  Indeed. Capitalism is a religion, and economics is a pseudoscience. The nation-state as we know it is on its way out. This whole game we're playing is a series of myths, behaviors we have inherited from the industrial age and feudal traditions (rent!) we haven't yet figured out how to transcend. Or have we? |
