The highest number of votes is for $1000+.
People sure are bullish.  Smiley
342  Economy / Speculation / Re: When will BTC again reach 400$+ on: February 25, 2015, 01:19:55 AM
After the 50k coins are dumped by the gov we can go up to 300 I think.

The uncertainty associated with these auctions is keeping the price down.

Among other points, the bank is expected to stress alternatives customers affected by the deposit moves can use for their excess cash.

At some point in the future, Bitcoin will be quoted as an alternative.  Wink

The wonders of modern science...

The crazy thoughts of people in this modern world.

And this is why we can't have nice things
But seriously this is a bit creepy by any standard logic
This is pushing the envelope a tad to far.

It definitely is creepy.
Modern society won't accept this.

Funny. If the US wasn't spending exorbitant amounts of funding on defense I might believe Putin.

The US has the biggest army but Russia can compete.

I think China has the biggest one, in terms of strength.

Nowadays, the strength of the army isn't really critical.
China has been downsizing and modernising its defence force.

1.  Ascribe bad practices by Muslims to their local or regional culture, not the religion
2.  Ascribe bad practices by Muslims who are shouting Allah Akbar as they do stuff to a wrong interpretation of the religious documents.

Then, Islam is left with the "good", because all "bad" has been pushed to the side.

Reminds me of and does appear to be the logical error "The True Scotsman."

To add to that, even interpretation of religious docs by clerics can be misguided.
Totally absolves everyone.  Grin

Japanese has many allies. There is no need for them to be militarized.

Japan has no reliable ally. So there is a necessity to get armed. For example, if China decides to attack Japan, none of the allies (including the US) will come for help.

70 years of UN and we still have to bank on allies.

I don't see why the husband would risk the life of her Wife for this.

You are assuming the husband gave his consent/took the decision.
It could be the decision of a batty old woman.

A small correction. After (or before) she tries to invade Iran, she will be assassinated by CIA like Kennedy... Provided she becomes the president in the first place, which I doubt. I'm always lolling when I hear this abbreviation, sounds like fetus in a pot.

It is almost 99.9% certain that she will be the Democrat candidate in 2016. And with the recent demographic changes, which have occurred in the past few decades, it is almost impossible for the GOP to win presidential elections anymore.

I heard her say that she was not going to run for the presidency (as being too old and too tired of politics), though she might have been just flirting with her electorate.

Since when have you started believing what politicians say? Smiley

There will be a time when science can make gold, but science can't make bitcoins Smiley

My thoughts exactly.
Another point for Bitcoin vs gold.
Bitcoin is better than e-gold!!!

The handcuffs can deliver electric shocks between 20,000 and 150,000 volts for durations of 0.5 to 10 seconds. Shocks can be triggered remotely from up to 300 feet away, or programmed to happen automatically in a variety of situations such as the detainee stepping outside a boundary.

Yikes. Using electric shocks to ensure that detainees don't cross a boundary. That resembles a dog collar.

I guess we have to ensure that trades are done only in public places, where you can easily attract attention.

Good. The Americans and their allies created the ISIS monster, to fight Bashar al Assad. Now fighting ISIS is their responsibility. Get the boots on ground! Grin

Just like they funded the Taliban to keep the Soviets out of Afghanistan.
It always comes back to bite them.  Smiley

Gallup: Americans see ISIS as gravest threat to US

Quote
Are you fucking kidding me? 84% of the ignorant masses actually believe 20,000 ragheaded camel jockeys in the Middle East who like to make gory Youtube videos and were funded and armed by the good old USA government are a CRITICAL threat to our country. That is the most pathetic thing I’ve ever read. Bernays was an absolute genius and his disciples have perfected the art of propaganda.

The US public education system has succeeded in dumbing down Americans to such an extent, they will believe anything they are told by the government and their MSM propaganda mouthpieces. I’m disgusted to be living amongst so many idiots and non-critical thinking believers. I sure hope it doesn’t take a majority to prevail, because we’re doomed if that is the case.

More...http://www.theburningplatform.com/2015/02/17/idiocy-of-american-public-on-display/

I don't think they are the gravest threat, but definitely ones that should be eliminated before they become one.

The government doesn't clear this misinformation - because they need some control over the Middle East to secure their oil supply.

POTUS is just a puppet. Whether he's black or white makes no difference, he dances to the music all the same Wink

That is true. Life goes on for big businesses.

The officer should be punished severely. But at the same time, Sureshbhai Patel's son should also be charged, for not accompanying his father who is not proficient in English. 

Chirag Patel wanted a cheap nanny, and therefore asked his father to come to the US. He should have at least accompanied him around.

His father was taking a walk around the neighbourhood. Chirag would have considered the neighbourhood to be safe.
We now know that it wasn't.
