If Bitcoin was a physical object, it would have the ability to change elemental form. Meaning, Bitcoin would today be roughly "bronze", and in six months will be "silver", and a year later Bitcoin will be "gold", and another year later a BTC will be a flawless, 3 lb diamond. Another good metaphor for Bitcoin - Dragons. They start small, but quickly grow beyond control... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1iW5o-l85w |

Sock puppet trying to start some shit.
yep. Ignored. |

CEO thinks the future of money is just like Bitcoin except corporately owned and makes his ilk fabulously wealthy(er).
Then they would be the only ones to use it, therefore making it worthless. Yep, pretty much this. The corporations can spend all the money they want, but there isn't a marketing genius in the world able to sell Corpo-money to modern people. Hint: It's because smart people hate corporations. |

Humans can't own land. The sooner we figure that basic shit out, the sooner we can start undoing the damage we've done to this planet.

Are you familiar with Albert Jay Nock's concept of The Remnant? That pretty much summarises the disparate, tiny minority of anarchists in the world, at least in my view. I'm not, but I'll google it when I get home from wage-slavery, errr work. |

I think Microsoft are a little bit bigger than Bitcoin at the moment. 400 still seems ridiculous. It prices most people out of attending. The conference is really targeting smart people with living careers, not deadbeat losers like you and I. |

For what he got donations because his surname is Nakamoto? Where he'll spend those Bitcoins haha?
Simply he is in the wrong at the wrong time.That is the answer FTFY. I'd rather be broke and anonymous, than have a few free BTC and be an enemy of the state. |

I love this thread, and we should all endeavor to keep it on page 1

All property, or just land? Land and "human resources" (AKA wage-slaves) as well. I'm with Russell Brand on this one, massive redistribution of wealth, end the corporation as a concept. Rewrite of the constitution. |

low interest rates make people borrow more dollars.
every borrowed dollar is a new printed dollar.
printing dollars causes inflation and weakens the dollar. The biggest scam in the history of the world... |

Are you in agreement with those? Property is theft, and "ownership" of land is madness. From my perspective, pretty much our entire culture is insane. The Earth does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth. |

What's the separating quality between this and other forms of anarchism? There is a myth that many/most anarchists believe in an "every man for himself" non-society. I add "social" to my political self-description to convey that I believe human beings should take care of each other. We are, as primates, neuro-biologically wired for compassion. "Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies — God damn it, you've got to be kind." -Kurt Vonnegut |

Bitcoin social-anarchist* reporting for revolutionary duty, SIR. *or anarcho-socialist, or "libertarian socialist" (take your pick) A quiet, peaceful act of non-cooperation. For me, this means structuring my affairs such that I do not fund the state. It means storing my wealth in Bitcoins. It means using cryptography. It means using the tools of the state-based system against the system itself. It means advocating for the rights of the individual over the rights of the state. You and I will get along well.

5flags is irrational. Good to see the obligatory political abuse of psychology has now arrived in the thread. He's using government funded services everyday but doesn't wanna pay up..
Grow up dude, if you don't wanna use sidewalks, or streets, or the internet, or clothes, or toothbrushes, practically anything, since there all connected to the government someway somehow, then go live on Mars.
I'd recognize this bullshit argument anywhere. I've seen it before. |

Paypal does not currently support Bitcoin. Try Coinbase, connected to your bank account or something else like it.
Paypal will never support Bitcoin, for the same reason that Blockbuster Video never supported Netflix. Not that it matters. Paypal is a dead company walking. Cryptocurrency makes paypal 100% obsolete, as you will see in the coming years. |

I killed a man and found a paper wallet in his back pocket. Now I'm rich.
(I'm kidding, this was poking fun at the "bitcoin = criminal money" myth)

It is hard to believe, but Peter_R and I calculated that according to his Metcalfe Law model of bitcoin prices, if we increase the permanent number of daily bitcoin transactions by one, then the bitcoin market cap increases by over $100K. That is true only because we are still so early in this game. I believe many/most Bitcoiners vastly overestimate how far we are into Bitcoin's evolutionary cycle. We've only JUST exited the "stealth phase". |
