Well that was fast.

I don't get why people seek regulation; it's attacking the symptom but not the cause, the cause being a naive public with over-protective "parents" (i.e. nanny state) that never allow them to experience loss so they'll learn from their mistakes and therefore would have no need for regulation for protection as they'd be equipped with the knowledge and experience required to protect themselves: in other words, regulation is the asserted solution to the problem regulation causes.
You need to study some history. Modern financial regulation, at least in the USA, was born as a result of the GREAT DEPRESSION.

Well, we crypto holders will never have to worry about THAT problem, thank fuck. No banksters to mess our shit up. And that's why regulation makes NO sense for crypto.

Crypto doesn't have centralization and the corruption that always brings, so it does not need regulation. It's self-regulating, like an organic entity.

Is this the official, "let's act like frat dude douchebags and show the world bitcoin is hostile to women" thread?

You guys are pathetic and disgusting, and you are not helping bitcoin one iota with this blatant female objectification.

A regular buyer of my mined coins happens to be a black guy. Another regular buyer is Hispanic. Due to the fact that I only have 2 regular cash buyers, should I be thinking that the representative Bitcoin buyer is 50% black and 50% Hispanic?
No, but you should probably assume these two guys are drug dealers, that's why they're buying in cash!  Grin

Nope, it's sure not FIAT. Google is your friend.

I had my friend, who is a board-certified surgeon, open up my abdomen cavity and place a ziplock bag with my paper wallet inside. It will remain there for 7 years before I must re-do the operation or spend the coins. Please don't find out who I am and cut my open in my sleep. ):

If your serious I think that was the most secure idea until you just said it. I hope you hid your IP. There may be people looking to cut you open.
They could try! But I'm a very dangerous person! Plus, what if my paper wallet only has 3 BTC on it? They'll feel like fools for murdering me then, won't they!

Ha ha ha, I get the last laugh!

P.S.
Actually, a brain wallet is truly the most secure method, if you do it correctly and never get Alzheimer's.
3907  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bad vibe in Texas on: March 09, 2014, 02:11:41 PM
As a native New Yorker, I think Texas has always had a bad vibe. I've hated that place since it spewed forth that halfwit George W. Bush.

Austin is cool, though. We should save those people, they are not gunslinging caveman troglodytes like the rest of the South.

Fear of the unknown. Most people still think Crypto is a gamble.

They could not be more wrong.

Mr. Nakamoto is far too intelligent to be one of those suburban-white kid clueless-about-the-rest-of-the-world douchebag an-caps.

You know it's only dumbass rich white kids who are an-caps, right? You dipshits damage the good name of anarchism in your horrendous ignorance.

Real anarchists don't like coercion and force. Real anarchists despise markets, capitalism, and exploitation.

The world will soon be using bitcoin whether they like it or not, because it will have rendered all the other currencies relatively worthless by comparison.

It is right now.

But remember, slavery was very much a "white" thing too for most of history, and than we abolished it and instead adopted wage-slavery, which is equal-opportunity exploitation.

I'm sure bitcoin will spread to all the other races, ages, genders, and sexualities in time, as FIAT wanes and crypto waxes. My true hope is that crpyptocurrency makes everyone realize how absurd and cruel capitalism is, and we use the newfound liquidity of currency to equalize the global north and global south into one worldwide standard of living, helping feed the 850 million malnourished human beings on Earth.

Don't sign up for pre orders, you are at best funding development and taking a huge risk you won't receive anything for years.
Yep.

Hello, so bitcoin went up to 680 even 710 dollars in the beginning of the week and everyone expected it to hold this price or even rise more. Now it's falling down and i don't see why. There are no news from mtgox or any bad news at all. Do you guys have any explanations for why is this happening? Smiley

Listen very carefully: The current FIAT fluctuations are extremely unimportant in the big-picture of bitcoin. They don't matter, at all, unless you are day-trading crypto. Stop paying attention to them, seriously. Long term, every bitcoin is worth INFINITE dollars, INFINITE yuan, INFINITE any FIAT currency, because FIAT currencies only survive as long as the empire's upon which they are based.

Cryptocurrency is world-wide, civilization-spanning, and relatively eternal by comparison to FIAT. Buying bitcoin at ANY price today - be it $5 or $5,000 - is still a very smart and very profitable middle-term (3-6 years) investment. You WILL get rich, even if you don't buy-in till 5 grand or 10 grand or 20 grand, it will ALWAYS go up, big-picture, long term.

Get it?

lol..boycott the advertisers?  

thats going a step too far and would never gain traction.
lets just boycott newsweek.
Someone doesn't understand capitalism...

I understand it just fine.  But  serious bitcoin community is small and people that are mad about Dorian is even smaller.  And people that are willing to actually boycott for this , smaller still... You're gonna ask them not to do business with 50 companies ? Ok...not gonna debate.  
50 companies out of 500,000+?

Doesn't strike me as impossible, friend.

Release the truth or shut the fuck up about it. No one cares about your personal, attention-whoring battle.

Everyone cares about the truth.
