Angel, I think it's time to develop a thicker hide.  Stop being a wimp.  Nobody is bullying anyone.  This isn't facebook.  If you act a certain way, you'll be treated a certain way.  That's how human beings work; they perceive and respond in the way they best see fit.  If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.  Reevaluate what you've done, why it received negative response, and act accordingly.  You'll figure this out when you get older, but, as of right now, it's going to sting when I say this: Nobody cares how you feel you're being treated.  We're not your brothers and sisters and the mods aren't your parents.  If you don't like it, go away.  If you think you'll stop throwing a tantrum and act like an adult from now on, the forum's always open to everyone.  Cyber-bullying is such a BS distraction for the over-sensitive.  It makes more sense for teens, anyway, to overreact to "bullying."  When it comes to adults, it stops applying.

Also, stop using your when you're obviously trying to say "you're."  Maybe you should wait a few years, mature, and then come back?

I don't see what the problem is.  It's not like Bitcoin is going to develop cancer because someone made a twin.  Then again, if I had a clone of myself, I'd probably attempt to kill it.  But after realizes how fucking awesome he was, we'd probably get along swell.

Then maybe he'd tried to kill me. 

The easiest way to avoid the OWC issue is to diversify.  Keep your assets in many different currencies; nobody can force you to do something you don't want to do.  All they can do is punish you for not doing it.  Imagine if one nation attempted to put every other nation in jail for not using the currency they feel is best; it just won't happen.  As long as any currency is free, open and voluntary, you'll never have to worry about one currency ruling.  If you see signs of a currency leaning toward fiat, refuse to use it.  The idea that people belong to the government needs to end, and it ends when the majority realizes it's the other way around.

The credit/debit only is the most likely to occur first; it's a matter of convenience to most people, but the average Joe isn't a walking credit machine, so unless you equip the whole nation with card-swipers, it'll be hard to implement.  What will likely happen is all money goes digital, and you trade balances via cell-phone or whatever devices are available.  However, unless it is mandatory that every person has a cell phone, the following will have to ensue:

RFID chips.  These can store any number of things.  This is another matter of convenience; they can be incredibly useful, but only when done properly.  I won't go into the details of what they can do to ease things (but a few examples: lock safes and gun-lockers only you can open, exchange money only you approve of, and the most common reason: if you get lost, which is controversial in its own right)  As I said above, it depends on who's doing what with it.  At first, it will be voluntary.  At the point it becomes a requirement upon birth, that's when it becomes a travesty.  I don't think RFID chips will ever catch on, or else they would have back when they were introduced shortly after 9/11.  As it is, I wouldn't want one in my body, mostly because they've been shown to develop cancer cells and other adverse effects.

Let's just keep advocating Bitcoin and its altcoins, and we'll be in good standing.

"Hi.  I'm a stranger on the Internet and I need your money.  I plan on burning your money on auctions.  However, I will magically find the money to pay you back, despite being unable to afford the things I want today."

What a sound business plan!


You can begin by revealing where you're from and why they don't teach capitalization there.

But the admins don't judge that at all.  It's an automated system.  If you're implying a machine can make an informed judgment on the spot, then I have to ask, from which year in the future do you return?

When you're sitting on the top, you don't want anyone to knock out the bottom; then everyone else comes crumbling down.

Therefor, you attack those who leave from the bottom.  The vast majority of fiat is held by those at the top of the pyramid, and yet those on the bottom of the pyramid are in the billions.  The rich cannot be rich without another group to be poor.  When people realize that anyone who is rich will attack anything which will remove that facade, the pyramid will show a collapse.  The world would even out a bit, and the vast line between the rich and the poor will bring both groups rather close; the line between rich and poor would be awful gray, instead of black and white as it is today.

And maybe then we can all move on with our lives.

To be a politician, you don't need to think.  You just need enough money to put your face on every bench and billboard.

Still beats Novacoin.

Bytecoin: the coin that isn't Bitcoin. 

That's an alarming amount of cheese lovers on this site.

The fact that everyone would have to use a thousand different clients to accept Stevecoins and Billcoins and Joecoins.  It's not such a big deal right now, as you could probably count all the altcoins on both hands, but after a certain point in time, altcoins won't gain traction because the top, say, 10 altcoins, are already good enough, and the 100th, unless it brings something remarkable to the table, will go unnoticed.

But literally nothing is stopping anyone, to answer the question.  The question is, is it worth it?  Most people don't think Bytecoin is worth it, and thus, they don't adopt it, don't install the client, and without people accepting Bytecoin, it doesn't do much.  The natural order of any commodity, I think.

Well, people still think their is they're...  I wouldn't be surprised if someone somehow managed to mistake a bit for a byte.

No kidding!  Besides, everyone knows I'd be leader

I suppose you're right.  But if I had a pal who wanted to pre-order BFL, I'd probably slap his shit.

In any case, people need to learn to stop following the herd over cliffs.  This cannot be accomplished through hand-holding.

People buy intangible things all the time.  If intangible goods have value, they have value going both ways.

Of course, Bitcoin will inevitably fail when a newer technology takes its spot.  But it'll probably be another crypto-currency.

I was gonna write eventually but boy, that was a long word to write, so I settled on soon. 

Whoops!  Sorry, they're little boxes, so I didn't think about putting anything in them



New and improved!

That already happened
