As far as I know most of the pedo rings are in Russia and occasionally in the U.S., I very much doubt that the vast majority of pedo stuff is financed by Bitcoin since we all know organized crime is mostly profiting from that and they are about as intelligent as the cartels in regards to BTC use.

So no, not on this plane nor on any plane does Bitcoin endorse crime. They are afraid of looking like complete tools claiming that most of drugs are being sold using Bitcoin so they move to the next best thing.

Bitcoin is maths, it can't endorse anything, it just operates regardless of the input of humans, this is something that people are completely misunderstanding about the whole network.

We get this Russia/China banned Bitcoin spam a lot and it's never actually true, even the mainstream networks are starting to get themselves informed about the subject, of course they never admitted they were wrong in the first place.

I'm 50/50 on Amir. I think he's getting too consumed by his own anarchist ego.

Bitcoin is a shitty payments system. It is not meant for buying coffee at Starbucks. It is an economical tool to enable new forms of trade to thrive which extends further into the areas of resource management, decentralized law, and digital governance. We can use this to create the next generation of economic activity between humans, and organize on a local level much larger than ever before possible. We can find new ways to disempower banks, politicians, lawyers, police, judges and institutions.

I mean why is he saying stuff like that? Bitcoin isn't just for anarchists to get their jollies. It's for everyone. If someone wants to use it to buy coffee they should. If they want to buy drugs with it they should, and of course if anarchists want to use it to bring about a revolution; go for it, but don't make out it's for only one agenda.

We'll do our thing, you do yours, just don't go bitching to the government when we actually succeed Wink

He is a fascinating individual. Beyond the monetary use I do think bit coin will be a powerful political force. Bit Coin will develop into a robust and efficient payment system as well.  

There are already some very interesting projects evolving from the Bitcoin protocal, Open Bazaar, a spin off of the Dark Market that was prototyped by UNsystem and then there's twister and that new Dark Mail that's supposed to be in the works as well as Dark Wallet being worked on by Amir and the people he works with to keep the government away from Bitcoin.

Look at how Hamas has hurt the Palestinian people.  They threw money around and promised them a better world, all the while brainwashing them and stoking the hate of the Jews.  And now who is dying?  Civilians........the "collateral damage" so to speak.

Look at the Tea Party/Far Right movement - they basically do the same game - they stir up fear and hate and bigotry and whip the "faithful" into a frenzy.


I see the exact same tactics used by all political parties that promote Xenophobic Imperialism not just the right, please don't be another one of those people who conveniently ignores the crimes committed by 'their' side like so many people I've seen when they talk about who's right and who's wrong.

Imagine this, Bitcoin 5-10 years down the road is worth $50,000 a piece.

I can understand where you're coming from but when Bitcoins are worth $50,000 a piece, the dollar will be worth nothing, you won't be able to buy stuff with it and help people, I think currencies like Einsteinium coin and CleanWaterCoin are much more noble efforts, there are also charities that already accept Bitcoin.

Edit: I forgot CureCoin as well

That's a load of crap anyway, currency don't rise and fall magically and Bitcoin isn't 'losing' value it's the paper money that's losing value and being volatile because of how much money printing is going on and flooding the Bitcoin market, I seriously hope that exchanges aren't going to start suggesting price fixing next because this is what it's beginning to sound like.

Why do all those things have to be in Russia?

Why does everything have to happen in America?* Smiley

*In reference to close to all scifi movie plots.

That is fucking annoying Tongue that said, you go to any country where a movie is made etc. they'll often have the whole setting revolve around their country, Japan is just as guilty of this with... Well, a huge percentage of anime Cheesy

3990  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2014-07-31] Overstock to Pay Employee Bonuses in Bitcoin on: August 01, 2014, 09:08:56 AM
I support Overstock 100%. Even if some products can be bought cheaper on other site  ***cough amazon cough*** i will still buy on Overstock.


Amazon have pissed me off, this was awhile ago but as you guys will already know they've recently been doing this 'add-on' item thing where they force you to buy cheap products with a more expensive item and it's being spammed to the point where you may find one single item you're looking for and it won't necessarily be the one you want when other stores just let you buy things normally.
3991  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What do you think about the actual world conflicts? on: August 01, 2014, 08:09:45 AM
Hey folks,

what do you think about the recent conflicts (russia, ukrain)
and espescially the middle east conflict??

regards,
bitsta
RE middle east, simple question.

If there was no conflicts and all was well in the middle east, wouldn't the price of oil drop?

(I gotta feeling the fracking industry in the USA is going to make these sick puppies irrelevant...)

From what I hear fracking barely does a thing for the amount of trouble and gas it brings but I'd need to do more research into it before I can say for definite, it certainly doesn't seem very efficient to practically demolish the underground for a tiny bit of gas from what I've seen so far.

Colbert and Stewart are at least honest about what they represent, you know what their ideology is and they don't try to hide any of it, that I can respect, it's the fuckers who deny blatant facts and mathematics in the face of something that goes against what they believe that piss me off and the thing is, neo-conservatives and the like are far more blatant about it than any of the people they attack.

What so special about that small patch of land, why they are willing to be killed and to kill. Middle east is a big less populated swatches of land why not leave that curse land Israel and transfer to other peaceful place.

Gas deposits in Gaza. Just like in Donbass in Ukraine. The extermination patterns are similar too, probably coming from the same think-tank.

I had no idea about that, gas deposits? That explains a hell of a lot, the media likes to simplify the issue and just claim it's some kind of ethnic violence way too often.

On the radio they said men would show up early just to watch her stretch.   Grin

Eww, that's some weird and creepy thing to do. But hey, I guess whatever floats your boat. And I'm sure she or her managers are well aware of her influence on men.

That is creepy, lets be honest, haven't those idiots heard of porn?

It will push Gold/Silver up too, the collapse is beginning now that a fairly sizeable country is defaulting, it's not like Argentina is a tiny island in the middle of nowhere or anything.

Looks like an initial sell off before a big price rise to me, probably someone profit taking, it often happens note how there's a double bottom forming you have to wait and see whether it levels out now.
