Don't either of you realise how insulting that is to people who would want genuine change in a government? Personally I think voting for a bunch of closet racists, blatant homophobes and warmongering morons is just as damaging to the country, but sure, be short sighted.

Hmmm, that's promising, but I still wouldn't someone will find away around it eventually if they're determined enough lol offline is always the best defence against hackers, point is, far better for the Bitcoins to not be there in the first place and then they can't get stolen.

You NEVER say something like that on the internet Hfleer lol I picked a VPS because you could store it in relative safety and privately as opposed to just leaving it floating around on the internet, if you wanted to get really radical if you have a permanent place to stay you could set up a laptop or computer and remote desktop it then send the money over there that way and shut the computer down.

Buy VPS in Hong Kong or some other country where America has little influence, set up a wallet, get your flight set up to where ever you want to go, bring a laptop with nothing suspicious on it, reach your country, get to where you're staying, load up a Bitcoin wallet on your laptop, connect to your VPS, retrieve your money.

Capital control defeated Now you could just use an online wallet, but I wouldn't dare leave it their for an extended period of time especially if going to a foreign country, don't forget to use a VPN to connect to your VPN if your country has become particularly paranoid!

I can tell you guys with the plans I'm starting to see come out of the UK in regards to Bitcoin I'm actually planning on leaving the country as soon as possible, new taxes and so on for Bitcoin will mean they aim to totally strangle it so it won't be profitable to even transact in the currency anymore, so either they'll force everyone back into the pound or people who want to use Bitcoin only will just leave the country.

Granted, they can't do anything to stop pure Bitcoin transactions on the blockchain thankfully but Bitcoin users are going to have a hard time paying for basic utility bills and so on if the taxes are too high and restrictive, they have refined taxation of the poor and middle class here to a fine art and I'm not going to hang around a country that doesn't want me to get wealthy.

The rules of business have changed since the internet came along, we've always been told the customer is always right and so on, but the reality is now that we have a mostly open society ( at least for us average people ) anyone can talk about anything regardless of what governments or organisations have to say about it.

In an environment like this, honest businesses have nothing to fear

Wtf does communism or nationalism have to do with homosexuality and multiculturalism? Also, why the fuck is that a bad thing? On second thoughts, don't bother answering, your response will be just too stupid to read. Seriously the pure bullshit being made up by you jackasses in support of your ideologies is fucking amazing.

Yeah, I fell for that awhile back apparently Bitcoin wasn't pre-mined at all, another crappy lie spread by somebody, I think Satoshi did mine the genesis block but that's it.

That's basically it.

lol yep, we all thought this at one point with the OP didn't we?

That's inflation forcing up the prices, deflation makes absolutely everything cheaper so people won't need to have assets rise in value in the first place, when a currency is deflationary it makes it easier to buy things because of this, inflation does the opposite.

It's all to do with the amount of currency actually in circulation when you have less it's usually worth more so it can buy more things, when you have something like paper which can be printed in infinite quantities then you get the Zimbabwe and Weimar Republic problem of having so many notes that you need tens of thousands of them to buy anything.

Japan and Argentina are currently heading towards that stage as well, in Japan depending on where you go of course a detached house can cost ¥8,500,000 whereas if we're talking British pounds it will be something like £50,000.

Deflation is not a bad thing in the slightest if it's based on a currency that's got a limited supply, things become much cheaper all round and people don't need to work as hard to buy things they need, that goes for everyone. The Neo-Keynesian argument of "If you inflate the currency people will spend more" is totally flawed, the reason being is that inflation is forcing people to spend because the value of their currency is being destroyed and they have no choice and for some reason they think this is a good thing and quite honestly I think their arguments border or religious zealotry rather than being about any sort of mathematics.

With deflation as long as you don't have government interfering and price fixing everything becomes cheaper, one of the reason neo-keynesians I suspect seem to think that price falls are a bad thing for farmers etc. if because the profits they make will go down because of the system that they've created and the machinery they have to purchase etc. has gone up. They're trying to fix and mess with so much stuff out there that it's no wonder they haven't gotten anything right and everything is so fucked up.

It's a question of making a deflationary economy that the state and central banks can't mess with and yes, Bitcoin or at least an alternative to it could well be the answer, but with special interests like the shitty Bitcoin Foundation moving in and trying to take over everything I have my doubts it will be Bitcoin itself.

Like I said, the NSA/CIA angle just doesn't make any sense when you actually think about the logic people are trying to use to scare us, much like most of the bullshit people make up to get you to do something out of fear.

Just glanced to the right at all those other bullshit articles that the wired has posted up, you guys need to bring better sources along, as other people have already claimed, Russia has been putting stuff close to the U.S/Canadian airspace for years, the media are trying to spread panic and force people to make stupid decisions like with Iraq.

These people are just stupid, if Bitcoin was an NSA/CIA backdoor, why would they release it open source? The logic just doesn't make any sense, I think it's possible that the person who made it had some kind of link to the intelligence community but they'd probably be another Edward Snowden but instead of just leaking they created an actual counter to all the spying that's going on.

Oh gawd I want her those don't look fake at all I think a few years ago asians not having big boobs would have been true but now that western diets have come into fashion and they're eating meat more etc. that's less the case, supposedly the reasoning behind them being so slim and everything is they usually had a diet of fish/rice which doesn't contain much protein and stuff.

pfft, like with all these things it purely depends on the girl, also, if you think all attractive girls are faking it some way you haven't met many attractive girls

Sometimes I think webmasters deliberately mess with the code to make adblock block legitimate images along with the ads, like Bitcointalk for instancethis is just funny though because all it will mean is people won't bother showing up at their websites if they're forced to be annoyed by ads. I don't have that much of problem with Bitcointalk though because they're just fairly harmless static images rather than pop ups or those fucking annoying .gif banners etc.

Talk about a bonus TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Fuck the puritan hypocrites!
