Bitcoin IS cash. What do you mean?

I think price can be a distraction and is not a measure of success. Ever since the speculators showed up there has been a greedy streak in the community that drives the bubbles. People who don't really care about bitcoin, they want dollars. I'm not against it. I don't think it matters what we do. Adoption is how many places I can spend my coins, IMO. That's all I look at.

The price will always be what people are paying on the exchanges and not some number we want it to be. There is only supply and demand in BTC. If you want bitcoins to be $500 each then you are going to have to convince every bitcoin owner on the planet to not sell for less. The exchange price is "The Price".

The basic implications of the term...  You bring up some important ideas BADecker. Where did evolution/life start? The answer from science so far is "I don't know". It is a true mystery and to just say randomness... That is not an answer. We don't really even know what life is. We can't do it in a lab, we don't know if life started here or somewhere else. We don't know if life is common in the universe or if this is the only occurrence. What can be observed is that over time life on Earth has become more complicated and that older forms change via DNA into different forms. That we do in the lab every day. It happens to all living things from germs evolving resistance or into new species like HIV, or whale flukes evolving from feet. There is also a vast amount of fossil and DNA evidence about our own species. For most of our history there was more than one species of human on Earth. Just 40,000 years ago you could have met at least five species of humans. Today there is only one species, but the reconstructions below show just some of the others in our larger family tree. We (all life on Earth) are just variations of the DNA molecule and in the future it will get even more confusing. Soon we will swap out sections of our DNA the way we modify computer code. It's easy we are all just DNA monsters.  |

If you think guns only make you less safe then why do we send cops with guns to stop violence? We don't send cops to stop violence, we send cops to ensure violence is monopolized by the state, for the interests of the state. The state has no interest in stopping violence, capitalism could not exist for one hour without systematic hierarchy-based violence. The state is very interested in controlling who that violence is directed at. Trying to shoot your way to non-violence makes as much sense as trying to fuck your way to virginity. Would our troops be more safe in Afghanistan if they went on patrol unarmed? It's deeply concerning (but not surprising) that a gun owner such as yourself doesn't understand the distinction between civilians on home soil and military in a foreign war zone. I'm not afraid of my government or the cops. Hell, my guns are better than their low bid firearms. I do not feel oppressed by capitalism and I think it works better than other systems. For example I am trusted to carry a gun, speak out against the government, vote for my leaders. It's far from utopia, but never in human history have people had it as good as we do. Of course there is a distinction between war and crime. But both situations use firearms to fight firearms. Anyone who thinks you don't need a gun has been watching to many movies. So again, I'll stick to what I know works. I fully support anyone's right to risk it without a gun. But I would not do that. I'm going home tonight. |

Oh oh I got one! Then what if the Aliens hacked the NSA!!! Mother F#<%*!!!!  Im sure the NSA is now advanced enough to hack the Aliens.. Good point. I guess it's just China that we have to worry about.  |

You must be watching Russian TV. lol Nobody here gives a crap about Russia. Despite the way it is being covered in Moscow it's a non-story here.

Despite popular redneck belief, having a gun on you does not render your soft, fleshy body immune to tiny bits of metal accelerated to deadly velocity. The only way to be safe(r) from gun violence is to wear one of these everywhere you go:  I prefer to wear one of these:  If you think guns only make you less safe then why do we send cops with guns to stop violence? Would our troops be more safe in Afghanistan if they went on patrol unarmed? I'll take my chances defending myself thank you. Maybe you'll get lucky if you are being attacked and someone nearby will be prepared to do something. |

The Taliban did the same in Afghanistan when they took over, those people are really afraid of knowledge...
True that. Then again knowledge has killed a lot of Gods, and they sure are into their God. Man, what a waste and crime against humanity. |

I think you don't understand evolution, ...
I teach evolutionary biology and I am sure this is a misunderstanding. There is no mystery here it is very well understood. I assume everyone believes in DNA. Well if you understand what DNA is then you understand evolution. Any person in the world may launch a scientific experiment to test the concept of evolution. They can publish their results for peer review and further testing. Science works by testing ideas with logic. It does not look at claims, rather results of tests. There have been thousands of such experiments but there has never been a finding that contradicts evolution and it is the basis of all modern biology. I suspect the real reason why people don't "believe" in evolution is because of the greater implications in their lives. Few of us who are atheists recognize what is being asked of a person when they look logically at the issue of evolution. It is as clear as day that it is and has happened. Anyone can see that. Except for those who would have to alter their whole world view just to recognize an obvious fact. It is why for centuries astronomers knew that the sun was the center of the solar system but refused to acknowledge it. Opening their eyes meant questioning everything they thought they knew. 100 years ago the issue was dinosaurs. Many people simply could not admit they once lived here. It would call into question the Koran or the Bible or the Bahgavadgita. There can't have been dinosaurs! Eventually religion found ways to accommodate the millions of bones now found in museums. I think that will happen for evolution also. Evolution is modern biology and we use it everyday in medicine etc. In 10 years denying evolution will be like denying the existence of dinosaurs. There will always be some, but very few. |

Welcome to the new dark age.  |

That's crazy! Imagine how good this will get once we understand more about what individual genes do.
But, DNA can't be real. If it were we would have to face the truth of evolution.

The current Bitcoin system has at least $364 million in sunk infrastructure costs and burns at least $560 million a year in power. The ONLY source of "income" to support this burden is (1) appreciation of the existing 13.8 million Bitcoins and (2) mining of 1.3 million new Bitcoins per year. Do the math - these numbers just don't add up to a stable system that's gonna work. Gulp! Isn't that cheaper than building all the banks in the world, not to mention their yearly energy consumption to do the same time that crypto does at a cheaper up-front cost? When you're done here, OP, head on over to an eBay forum and inform that it's auction model is unsustainable because eventually the world will run out of things to auction on the second-hand marketplace. Fortunately, BTC is a computer program and does not need any money at all. You are thinking of the desires of miners. Not a need of the system. It worked perfectly fine when BTC costs $0.06. |

Can someone direct me to the peer reviewed scientific paper that proves there is a God?

I think you are confusing torpedoes with cruise missiles launched from submarines. Russian cruise missile P-700 Granit has speed of 2.5 Mach. No, I'm not.  I just can't fancy a torpedo which would have the speed of twice the speed of sound (~700 m/s). At such speed water would behave more like concrete (unless it gets somehow evaporated en route). You are correct. Nothing moves close to that speed in the water. Not to mention that the speed of sound would be different in water. mishax1, could you be thinking of a sub launched missile? |
