"Corporations" can only survive if they create value for its investors and shareholders (ie: selling attractive goods and services). Corporations are a good thing - they resulted in the creation of the computers we're typing on, the power that we use to run the computer, and maybe even the hardware that was used to mine the first bitcoins.
FTFY.. capitalism at its best. I disagree. A corporation has to create value for people other than investors or shareholders to exist. The investors and shareholders only make money if this happens. IE: Investors and shareholders in Apple wouldn't make any money if Apple made lousy products that weren't valued. It would be pointless for a corporation to only exist to serve its shareholders and investors. That would vastly reduce the amount of consumers it would be making goods and services for. corporations CAN possibly provide a service or product of great value to society, but it doesn't necessarily do so. its main concern is to make money, even if it means screwing over the rest of the population. that's the de facto way it is. |

score! i have hit 1200 for the month.. christ, that was painful  currently sitting at 1482 with this post now.. will probably limit my posts to 15 per day until the 17th, as i am really worn out at this point i'll try to set my sights on 500 next month, but i don't think i will be able to make it.. 300-400 is more realistic. |

he doesn't have a background in programming so i strongly doubt it.
From his Wikipedia: Keiser invented "Virtual Specialist Technology", a software system used by the Hollywood Stock Exchange. He also said himself that he holds some software patents on virtual currencies: [3:30] min into the show... I am the only one in the world who has four patents on virtual currencies ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GJ1A3hnirU&feature=youtu.be&t=3m32sthat isn't really much of a background with programming.. and holding patents doesn't really mean that much. i don't mean to argue, but it's extremely unlikely that he is satoshi. |

If its one thing that gets my goat in the bitcoin world its people insisting that we need to switch to mBTC because BTC is too expensive. What utter drivel.
All switching will do is confuse people, and split the bitcoin community, because there is no way in the world everyone will agree to change, and why should they?
Bitcoin got quite happily to $1200 without the need to switch to mBTC, and it will go quite happily ever upwards without the need to divide it by 1000.
A share in google is $1,060. By the same logic, google needs to switch to mGoogle, everyone will say "these are cheap" and buy loads more.
Rant over.
how many normal people have you spoken to about BTC? because psychology has a major impact on BTC's adoption. i don't really care either way, but the proponents of mBTC do have a point. what point? that people can be tricked in buying up by being made to think its cheaper? well, if you want BTC to be spent like a currency, telling someone "i will pay you .005 BTC for that beer" is not really going to cut it. it can get confusing. |

Solution: An app called tinder that most already use, where all you see is photos all day saying yes or no.
They like, they will chat with you and meet up.
It doesnt get lazier then that.
well i'd assume that he'd still have problems, since the guy describes himself as a dude with aspergers syndrome. |

i think this is the video where he was accusing max of being satoshi Alex has been accusing Max of being Satoshi in the past and in this show he is again asking Max if he was Satoshi. Maybe he just keeps inviting Max to tease out the confession live on the show... By the way, in my own opinion, it is not totally unlikely that he really is. I think there is maybe a 5% chance that he is indeed Satoshi. he doesn't have a background in programming so i strongly doubt it. |

man i really feel guilty for watching alex jones.. i find his persona funny, but it's obviously a character he engineered. i think this is the video where he was accusing max of being satoshi |

i think we're a long long long way from bitcoin being a currency, if it will ever be. there's more incentive to invest in it instead of using it to buy things.

December is just a month where many people are short on money, January/februari will be different.
Also, we just had a large correction from a bubble, and usually the price goes a bit sideways after a bubble.
This is all normal and nothing to worry about, in fact, we are still ahead on the average trend line.
It is likely to increase in the future because 12 billion dollars worth of bitcoin is not nearly enough to support millions or billions of people using bitcoin as both a currency, as well as store of value.
We'd need close to a trillion, if not more, for bitcoin to be effective in both areas.
yeah this makes the most sense.. but that means bitcoin is more of a store of value/speculative asset than it is a currency. i believe that's true though. maybe we'll see an uptick when more people get money in their pockets, especially from january to april (tax time). |

it's plausible. they'd probably ban bitcoin and infer that everybody should salute this - unless you hate FREEDOM.
it's kind of like the tactics when governments want to stop protesting/demonstrations. send one of your own guys in as a protestor, have him cause a ruckus, and then let the police beat down on innocent people.

the courageous actortomtruong is fighting back against the illuminati/zionist/reptilian alien life forms that have been plotting to overtake our human species for use of slave labor to clean their spaceships. after repeated harassing and enemas, the self-claimed "King Cuong V Truong, the Son of God in the 21st century"( http://tom-truong.blogspot.com/) is the only soul brave enough to stand up to this oppressive affront! he is stockpiling enough of his BTC to buy a spaceship to preserve our species on a habitable planet after the hostile takeover. |

i like to give hilariousandco shit (no pun intended)  You're just mad because I exposed your latent homosexuality. says the guy who blows on a bag and pipe and wears a skirt |

oh, you are scottish? are you living in a trainspotting town? i don't know that much, but is it true that northern england basically like the fresno of the U.S.?
The moment I saw Scotland mentioned and the talk about weed , I was sure somebody will mention that movie. It took 5 more words:). But why the comparing between a country and a city? i like to give hilariousandco shit (no pun intended) |

I've been following this on and off all week - how did your discussion with the pot-smoker neighbour go?
Haven't done it yet - waiting for the right moment haha. Time is by your side. If you live in the north hemisphere winter is coming , so it's probable he won't be smoking in a garden so much in colder days. Did you ever ask him for a smoke? Why would I want to even communicate with that degenerate and why would I want any of his shitty weed? It's already freezing here and he's out in the garden at 3AM, so I don't think the cold bothers him. for context, what kind of a brit are you? yorkshire? londoner? or better yet, do you have a cockney accent? do you live in an ali g kind of neighborhood yo? The north. What context does that give you exactly? haha. I'll be honest, I was going to avoid this thread but after seeing a number of cases in the UK of those parents who just totally wrecked their kids lives or killed them I'd at least just call the police to come and check it out doesn't have to be a complaint or anything but if there's a kid crying constantly and stuff then something doesn't seem right. You don't want to be one of those neighbours who just assumed their neighbours were normal only to find there's a dead child in the house weeks later after the drug addict had finally had enough :S.
Granted, I'm assuming the worse here but the guy sounds like he needs help never mind the smoking weed at 3:00am, I've been depressed lately because of the stupid news reports again >_>.
He quite clearly does have a problem. I've known fulltime stoners who don't need to smoke every 2-4 hours. He doesn't abuse the kid from what I can hear, but he does ask if she "wants a slap?" or tells her to "shut the fuck up" quite often. He really is a chav waste of space. oh, you are scottish? are you living in a trainspotting town? i don't know that much, but is it true that northern england basically like the fresno of the U.S.? do you scottish dudes wear kilts for the easy butthole access? |

If I'm smarter than the illuminati, does this make me super-illuminati?
wouldn't that make you supra illuminati? actor tom truong knows his shit. illuminati have banded together with aliens from the andromeda galaxy to overtake the human species, for human labor that is. they need people to wash their spaceships, since the energy costs (just like the cost of rent) are too damn high. they are a reptilian species that is hell-bent on probing human rectums just for the fun of it. as it turns out, they aren't even doing it for experiments or research. they just get pleasure sticking things up our butts. |

I've been thinking about this for a while and wanted to know what everyone thought.
It's become clear in the last few decades that power is unequally distributed in our country, and so I have a solution to make things more democratic. I think that Corporations are deserving of 'official' seats in congress and senate. This representation would equal 1/5th of the new total - i.e., corporations would be given an extra 25 seats in the senate, bringing the total number of seats to 125. I know that a lot of people think that five seats would be enough, but I think the corporations that have provided so much for us and are such an important part of our economy deserve equal treatment. Perhaps one day the world will be ready for a full corporate integration, but I can't see that happening for at least 50 years.
In order to expand our economy, we need to give fairer representations to corporations, and end the pervasive sentism that is rotting away our society.
Title led me to expect one thing... content delivered the exact opposite. I was entertained. 9/10 want more equality? then promote inequality! major world crisis solved. next up: hungry and poverty. u hungry bro? just eat food then. problem again solved. that doesn't even.. why would u? o.O is this sarcasm or what  that's how you fix the world apparently. take a problem, see how it relates to you, and apply it to everyone else.. one-size-fits-all.  |
