Incredible! Have you (can you?) patented this thing?

Really the only way this could ever happen is if some tech genius invents a new kind of super-processor in his garage, hides it from the world, manages to produce a few of them and get them online without anyone knowing.. oh wait that's all quite impossible nevermind.

You cannot manufacturer a computer processor without a factory...

This argument is a non-starter.

China is the reason for 90% of the volatility in the bitcoin market.  They don't care about the technology, they just want to speculate and make a buck.

Bitcoin will rise back up to $750-850 and pitch a tent for the long term not long after 4/16.

Fortunately, venture capitalists and tech entrepreneurs are finally winning the battle against the fringe anarchists and libertarians for the soul of Bitcoin .

It's about the tech, not about the coin and its ability to go "off the grid"!

Does Bitcoin have a soul?
Are you sure?
lol +1, I stopped reading at the word "soul".

This is an internet forum, not a church. Reasoned observation and empiricism or GTFO.

You will fall into " receiving funds from outside of U.S." and its not pretty when I.R.S ask you.

We have some rights, the fifth amendment is one of them.

The legal burden of proving ownership would be on the I.R.S. I would not be legally obligated to say anything.

The fact: they will not be able to enforce these tax rules.

...if a woman provides sexual services to a guy in exchange for bitcoin, wouldn't that make her less of a hooker/slut/whore/prostitute and more a girlfriend/wife, considering wives give it up for property while whores/sluts give it up for currency?
I think you should probably stop using words like "slut" and "whore" when describing women.

Slut-shaming hurts everyone, including men.

Slut-shaming is the reason most modern women don't want to sleep with you before date #3 or 4.

3527  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fed Bank VP on bitcoin: Banks must adapt or die on: April 02, 2014, 03:20:36 AM
This is really splitting hairs, but the banking industry technically must abandon fiat or die.
3528  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If someone had the majority of the mining power.. on: April 02, 2014, 03:19:11 AM
We'll know where they live, and we'll be able to stop them before they ruin the blockchain. By force, if necessary.

But it won't be. Because once fiat money has died, there will be so much hashing power thrown at Bitcoin that getting to 10% will be impossible, let alone 50%.
3529  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoins And Guns on: April 02, 2014, 03:18:20 AM
Here in Murica, all the guns in the world are just a roadtrip to Arizona away. Stuff em in yer trunk, obey the speed limit all the way back to your home state, and do whatever you want.

Nobody will care until the killing spree hits the news. And they'll care for a few days, and forget anything ever happened.

Until the next killing spree.

God bless America.

And here's the best takeaway from this awesome news.

0 comments on an article from a site no one has ever heard of.

Sorry my friend, but that article STINKS of ripple propaganda.
3532  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is Bitcoins Purpose? Or have we Forgotten.. on: April 01, 2014, 10:32:34 PM
So my question is, What is Bitcoin's true purpose?
There is no objective truth to answer that question. It's subjective.

What is Bitcoin's purpose?
Whatever each individual wants it to be. Some of us are in it for ideological reasons, others technological, and still others financial profit.

Happy April first to you, too.

Ouch man, you really should've just straight up bought BTC instead of being suckered into a mining rig scam.

If the hardware is the size of your arm and costs $5,000, someone is lying to you.

My house burnt down and I ended up living in a campground just outside of town...  Undecided Cry

Whatever you do, don't buy the Flutterby Labs miner!

3537  Economy / Speculation / Re: Finding Equilibrium : Searching for the true value of a Bitcoin on: April 01, 2014, 07:22:24 AM
Finding Equilibrium?
It's way too early.
BTC is growing fast, money is pouring in, and time is needed to recover from Gox Hell.
We might have a few slow weeks but.... Equilibrium is not an option.

Equilibrium be damn!


Indeed, and more to the point:



The next time Bitcoin kisses gold, it will never look back. And the world will be changed forever. For the better.

See you all in the year 2200 when this thread becomes relevant again! Look for the brain in the robot body (paid for in BTC)!
