How? Leveraging attention economy? 

I'm somewhat active on Diaspora, I'll share good proposals if someone has any.

Some of those small community banks will soon have to choose a side. Some will go the Bitcoin route.

The Relationship of automation to unemployment article is quite thorough on wikipedia.

Even Keynes saw Technological Unemployment as an upcoming problem, but the prevailing opinion of economists on this today is that despite the concerns throughout the industrial and modern era it has always proven to be a myth, as new areas with new jobs kept opening up that had not been seen before.

However, among those wise academics it seems that Nobody expects the Technological Singularity.   

Assuming there comes a time when there really can't be created any new jobs for humans, it's interesting to ponder if a free market would still hold up in such a society. It's possible that it will find its balance with working hours becoming less while income growing. Alternatively/additionally there could be stronger decentralization in any aspect of life, so that individuals or small groups/companies would actually own the machines that produce goods and services to generate the income for them (bitcoin mining anyone? Also for example instead of hosting internet clouds in vast data centers of a few large corporations, how about hosting clouds decentralized in encrypted containers on people's hard drives that are accessed through a failsafe, RAID-like functionality of redundancy across the networks?).

Ich wär auch dabei mit 1x 25 und 5x 1.

You Zeitgeist movement / Futuristic RBE technology devotees can stop advocating now, seems you have already won: Timetravel to 2749 ( Montauk Project & Philadelphia Experiment )  

Very interesting. Wondering if Mafia- and protection-money-like structures do/will occur and how they will be counteracted.

Some random thoughts:

• Milton Friedman came across like an asshole and cold reptile, as someone with a dark agenda and secrets he has to hide. Fair enough, he might have been confronted with left-ish hippies throughout his life and may be quite fed up with them and the common misconceptions about the free market. He's right of course that it's quite naive to demand higher taxes from the rich, as they will find ways to escape taxes. But still, in an old age shortly before his death he should have developed a more relaxed manner and benevolence towards a young idealistic man trying to find ways to make a change.
• Speaking about the ever-upcoming, never-ending discourse of individualism vs socialism, providing incentive vs distributing equally, free markets vs planned economies: Proponents of both directions will claim that their ideas are often misunderstood and that there has never been a "true" form of their ideas implemented in reality. Both directions seem to look fine in theory, but are utopian. Governments, how ever "big" or "small", seem to continue to fail to find the balance. They fail to balance rules vs freedom, order vs chaos, because they are corrupt as they are only human in the end, and humans are weak. Thus all forms of society are utopian at last and will finally fail in practice. Some sooner, some later. Another reason is simply because the only thing that is constant in this universe is change.
• Howsoever, the solution for all of this is kind of hidden in plain sight in this documentation. It's the protagonist himself, not so much by his economic knowledge, but by what's in his heart. Earth and nature has "enough for everybody's need (and much more), but not enough for anybody's greed" (Gandhi). We must overcome the fear of scarcity and greed, we all must grow from within and develop empathy and a sense for the greater good, then the currently implemented form of economy becomes a meaningless label. Economics is the science of managing scarcity. It's now time to transcend into the age of abundance.

How about turning it into a game like Farmville. Apparently in this game people are pointlessly clicking around with their mouse, and by doing so they are being rewarded some points. Now there can be a game where they earn points without having to be clicking around pointlessly. 

It's Fidor Bank AG.

Nice poem, very reminiscent of First They Came....

I don't believe Peter Joseph would support Bitcoin, he is the kind of guy who wants to have his vision realized without indirections, dare I say radically. He'd probably even hate it as the libertarianism Bitcoin stands for is almost the polar opposite to a centrally managed resource based economy.

@ptshamrock joa gemach gemach, keiner verlangt ja ne Konferenz. 

Das Buch sieht interessant aus, wusste gar nicht, dass Anonymous jetzt auch Bücher schreiben. 

@O_Shovah Ich glaube der BitMarket juckt den MtGox und damit alle anderen Börsen und damit den Kurs insgesamt nich. 

Danke auch nochmal an Spender von Bier und Popcorn!

It's been circulating, it's not by me ofc.

The post seems to be deleted by now but it was there (URL is in the picture), I verified myself.

Another factor that favors the consolidation of corporations and monopolization maybe even more are patent laws.

Would you get an implanted RFID chip with your Bitcoin wallet?

Not very recognizable.

Looks like a football club.

(which brings me to an idea...)

More information is available on that wiki page by now.

I don't care so much either about a low price per se as it's true Bitcoin should rather be used as a currency than a pure speculative target, but the problem is that low prices will make Bitcoin stand out less against other cryptocurrencies => 21 million limit my ass.
