There are ones that are very open about what logs they keep and have been independently verified

I'm not recommending them over any other but they're the one that come to mind. Regardless, if you didn't want to use a vpn just go with the burner option.


It's much faster than tor. in my experience Tor is a pain to use and not recommended for every day use. 4g is very fast even on a mobile connection. It's also not that expensive.Credit can be purchased for $10 a month and if you can afford the internet then you can afford this option, but protecting your privacy is going to come at a small cost but some may feel it's worth the money. Of course you can continue using tor but have to bare its restrictions. There's no guarantee that tor is fully safe either. I think the admin of this forum has mentioned the possibility of tor being compromised in some capacity before.


Phones are very cheap these days. New ones can be bought from $20 dollars. You can even buy used ones for less. Using a new phone every time is probably overkill unless you're up to some shady business but if you just want to protect your privacy a new sim every now and again will suffice. Just buy a new one every time you need to top up or chnage it every few months or so but again this is probably overkill.


It restricts them in the sense that you can't sign up via tor - or you can but not without paying a fee.

True, but the trick is is to not bankrupt yourself doing it. IF you have a business that fails, dust yourself off and try again. Start small and work your way up and don't take out loans trying to make your business work. Most great entrepreneurs start off small and build their business up gradually and they expand when there's demand for it.


This isn't true. I know lots of people who have jobs but live well beyond their means and rely on credit cards to pay for things they can't afford - luxury items and holidays etc. Some people just aren't good with money and those people probably wouldn't make good businessmen either. A lot of people are too greedy and want to be successfully straight away and they're so deperate for that they try anything and take risks that are too big for them to handle. You need to take some risks in business but always have a failsafe and don't bankrupt yourself in the process because that's just going to set you back even further.


MLM sellers are the worst. They're usually the greediest of people who only care about profit and will push whatever crap they're selling on to you because their business depends on it. Most people won't get rich from this sort or marketing but there is money to be made from it, but it's done in such a sleazy desperate way and they try take others down with them by selling the bullshit dream they're hoping to achieve but as long as they get your money then that's all they care about. 

Why do you need to use tor when there are plenty of other faster options? If you want to protect your privacy and remain anonymous then there are other ways to do it. Use a proxy that doesn't keep logs, or use the internet on a pay as you go burner phone. Get a new sim card or even phone every-time your data runs out. You can even combine them and use a proxy over the burner phone. Probably overkill though just to browse a forum.

I doubt most bots use tor as it's very impractical. Tor is probably just abused by a lot of people like proxies are hence why the forum restricts it.

It is early, but it would also be early to say City or Liverpool are going to be the winners but people are making their predictions on what they think is going to happen. I would be surprised if things didn't go bad for Chelsea. No new signings, a new inexperienced manager, and losing their star striker. What could go right here???  I agree it's too early to shoot them down and Lampard and co should be given a chance, but the odds re stacked against them. I'm actually looking forward to the Chelsea/Leicester game and Wolves vs Man United. I think they both could be close but lets see how Chelsea do at home and United away.

To me the spam sections are those sub boards where you can get away with making low value posts in large volume. Gambling Discussion is the main one to me because people are just discussing sports and you can make a lot of posts in there that don't require any technical knowledge of bitcoin. Many signature campaigns are also gambling based ones and they seem to understandably require a certain amount of posts in the gambling sections and that will obviously fuel the fire. Off topic used to be the biggest abused one imo but since most campaigns don't pay for posts in there and with the invention of the merit system posting in there is probably mostly useless other than for post count so users go elsewhere and Gambling Discussing is probably far easier to abuse and get paid for it.


A self-modded thread would be a nightmare. It would be like being an unpaid janitor of a school of unruly and illiterate kids. No thanks. It would take far too much time and from my understanding of the rules people can just create an unmoderated one if they wanted to.

It's funny seeing people believe what they want to be true based on their own biases because nobody knows for sure what happened here, but those who are acting like this could only possibly be a 'hit' are silly.

Maybe if the CCTV outside his cell mysteriously goes missing or is unavailable then I'll give you that, but the reality is here he probably just killed himself, like many do in prison, especially pedophiles. He even allegedly tried to kill himself previously so why is it such a big shock when he finally achieved it??? And for those saying he was taken off suicide watch, people don't stay on suicide watch forever. IF your mood improves or a doctor thinks so then you can be taken off it. Suicide watch isn't a perfect system either. From what I understand guards only visit you every 30 mins or so. If you wanted to kill yourself you could just do it one minute after they check on you.


Are you a coroner? I guess James Brown is still alive also




This isn't a TV show. It's real life.


The same island with Biggie, 2pac and MJ? It would be much easier to kill someone rather than spirit them away to some island. What happens if someone sees them? Someone would have a lot of explaining to do and the whole conspiracy would come crashing down.


He's not in his cell. Cuffs are put on when prisoners go to the hospital because many use it as an attempt to breakout.


You see, this is one example of how people believe what they want to believe. To me this is more like proof that only he killed himself if there's no other CCTV to say otherwise. Did some government assassin walk into the prison, kill Epstein, then walk out? IF the other prisoner had been kept in the cell then people would have just been saying he carried out the hit and this is why whatever happens people will just believe whatever they want to believe.

No shit. You're unlikely to get far working a 9-5 unless you're one of the tiny minority that can miraculously work themselves up from lowly employee to CEO but you'll need to work very hard and hope you get some luck. Walmart often tout their CEO as starting off as a truck loader, but he did go and get a MBA in business.

I think more people should start their own businesses. I blame the current education system for this. We're basically told to go to school, get some qualifications and then go get a job with someone else. I don't remember being taught anything of much value at school, just the basics. It's like a 5-year long aptitude test just to make sure you can tie your shoe laces and button up your shirt. They should teach you things like how to start your own business, or grow your own food, and also go more into depth about health, fitness and nutrition. People think starting your own business is hard, or that you need a lot of money to do it and there are plenty of businesses you can start with little to no money. All you need to do is work hard, but you can't beat being your own boss. If your business grows you can then hire someone to run it for you and you can either retire earlier or invest your money into starting a bigger business. Most successful entrepreneurs do it this way and that's how they become successful. Even if their business fails they'll dust themselves off and try again and keep doing it until they succeed and that's the mark of a true entrepreneur.

Well any money is based on the faith of its users and of course declaring crypto illegal would be a huge blow to it, but my point is that doing that isn't going to stop criminals using it and they will continue to do so and just set up their own exchanges that operate outside of the law so all they're doing is penalizing the average joes like us who (probably) don't use bitcoin just for illegal things. This is obviously just how they will wage war on bitcoin by dragging its name through the mud just based on the possibility that it may be used for 'bad', but if there was any truth to this then they would ban cash as well. They obviously just see bitcoin as a threat as it's something they can't control but as for it's illegal use it's futile iin that respect because criminals will always find a way around it so all they're doing is making criminals out of the regular users as well. Instead of trying to tar everyone with the same brush they should just concentrate on going after the true criminals because cryptos are here to stay now for good or bad and whether they like it or not

Physical cash is more anonymous than bitcoin. Is there a public record of all the drug deals that go on across the world every minute of every day??? Nah. At least with bitcoin there's a public ledger. The powers that be are obviously scared and this is their angle of attack to try justify action:



To sell a war you need a direct threat and we know they'll bare faced lie to get the public on board and it's easy to do when you make it out like their security is at risk.


If what they say is true and criminals are using monero then what would making it illegal do? Criminals will still use it just like they do with drugs and everything else. Whatever restrictions the government try put in place criminals will either find a way around it or just keep on using it anyway so it's futile.

That's what I think about religions, but billions of people can't be wrong???  


Well I would then argue why was he given access to such top secret information as a relative nobody. If what he says is true you would think that only the highest level of government officials or scientists at the top of their field would have this sort of access and would certainly be held accountable for leaking such highly classified material/secrets.

Just look at people like Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning. IF they came out and just said the government is spying on us and they're logging everything we do but I don't have any proof then only conspiracy theorists would believe them, but both came through with actual receipts and a colossal amount of verifiable proof. The government is still after Snowden and Chelsea got 30 years but was pardoned by Barack Obama but look like they got her back in jail for some other bullshit now.

All I'm saying is you need more than just your word for these sorts of things otherwise it's just talk. I don't know the full details of what Bob Claimed about things that weren't known at the time but could it not be a coincidence or he just made something vague up that later turned out to bare some resemblance to something he made up?

.

If what he says is true and he makes zero from his claims (which I doubt) then I would say he's probably just a fantasist rather than a fraudster. Some fantasists are just mentally ill, whilst others are just insecure about their lack of achievements, but others will also make claims to try enrich themselves. Regardless of the reasoning fantasists often make claims because they just want to be a part of something or go down in history as important in some capacity. You get it quite a lot with people claiming to have been in the army especially claiming to have fought in certain wars (which is called stolen valor) or people claiming to have degrees/doctorates or qualifications they never had or earned. As people say, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and that's where I lie with Bob. If this guy was privy to so much of this information then surely we would have more than just his word. If he had access to all this stuff then I'm sure he could have just as easily taken a few pictures or taken some sort of physical proof but that obviously becomes impossible if he never had access to these things in the first place.


He has. He even addresses this in the documentary.

You're not sure whether a guy talking about UFOs is telling the truth or not??? Has he provided any proof whatsoever or do all we have is his word? Is Craig Wright Satoshi??? All we have is his word and also a lot of lies and misdirection and I think the same of Bob. These guys just lie their way into infamy and that's their business model as they make money from trying to sell conspiracy theorists books and public appearances and so forth. Lazar is full of bs and this is just how he makes his money.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Lazar

Really??? There's really no hard evidence of anything he claims. Photos?? Videos??? Documents??? Nada.

There's also a documentary on him: Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers. Doesn't give you any sort of proof though just a whole load of talk. This drawing he did is practically the only evidence he provides in it:



What is it that makes you inclined to believe him exactly? I think Tom Delonge from blink 182 on Joe Rogan made a better case but he's still crazy.

I think it comes down to fear and ignorance mostly. Most people don't want to look into the reality of existence because the truth behind it scares the hell out of them. For a lot of people they'd just rather shut off their brain and not have to think about something that no human can fully explain and they put everything on a creator because that's the easiest and most comfortable explanation for them rather than the cold, harsh truth. I think most believers are petrified of death or even worse punishment by god for not believing in them so they just fall back on their belief because that's what helps them sleep better at night and get through life. If you told or could convince these people that when you die you're just dead and there's truly not really much point to existence at the end of it all then a lot of them would lose their grip on reality or go all nihilistic and crazy. I've literally heard religious people - mostly Christians - say something along the lines of well what's stopping you from just going out and raping and murdering people. Well if the only thing that is stopping them from raping and murdering is their belief in god or an afterlife then firstly these aren't very good people and secondly imagine what would happen if you took that belief away from them. Would all these devoutly religious people lose all sense of morality and go crazy and start braking the law because nothing matters if there's no god? That's a scary thing to think about and that's why religion is such a strong phenomenon because it does give peace and comfort to a lot of people.

Is bitcoin reliable or stable? Hell no. Is there the possibility to make a very decent return from bitcoin within 5-10 years? Hell yes. However, nothing is guaranteed and it's very risky so be advised. The potential for huge gains is there but also huge loses. Personally I think bitcoin will be worth a lot more than it is right now within 5-10 years, but I also expect it to go through several ups and downs also with huge crashes so it will also be worth much less than it is right now, but hopefully the new lows are always gradually getting higher and higher so there's gradual growth. Before you or they invest in bitcoin look at the performance over the past five years especially the peaks and bubbles. It wasn't that long ago that bitcoin was $1k and then it rallied all the way up to $20k before the bubble burst and it settled back down to about $5k or whatever it was and now it's back to $10k+. Those sorts of bubbles will probably happen again so be aware of that, but there is certainly money to be made in riding them out and I certainly think even long term (5-10 years) bitcoin could be worth multiples of what it is now but again nothing is guaranteed and I could be completely wrong. As people usually say, don't put all your eggs in one basket and don't invest more than you can afford to lose, but also remember you could lose everything or a good chunk of your initial investment.

Have they thought about investing in property to rent out to people. That's usually a safe investment with a guaranteed income from tenants and it's always better than what the banks will give you and at least you have something physical of intrinsic value to show for it whatever happens with the markets.

It's either going to go really well for Lampard or absolutely disastrous. Of course he's going to be hampered by not being able to buy any players but he should try sell a lot of players that he's not going to utilize on the grounds that he can use that money to buy the players he wants when the fair play restrictions expire. He's got a decent squad as it stands but losing hazard is a huge blow and could really cost Chelsea especially as they can't replace him.  There's rumors that Bakayoko may be on the move to either United or Arsenal as well. Cahill is free to leave on a free transfer also.

Did anyone hear that Diego Costa might be going to Wolves? I'll believe that when I see it but that could give Wolves a huge boost. They played excellently last year  with finishing seventh and maybe this could help them get into the Europa league or maybe even higher. It's going to be very tough for them to break into that top four though with all the competition.

What about all the people that went from millionaires to janitors because of their gambling? The odds of winning most high stakes lotteries are ridiculous but a lot of people think it's worth the punt as usually someones gotta win it and the tickets are often fairly cheap


The universe does not care about you or anyone else and him winning the lottery is sheer luck and I'd consider him very lucky over anything else especially considering the odds of him winning were probably astronomical, but its still just random and the luck of the draw at the end of the day. If he got cancer and died the same year would you also say that was the universe at work? Nope. Sometimes good things happen to you and sometimes bad but we mostly have no control over that. Sometimes you can make your own luck and this guy did by buying tickets but lets not forget all the other good people who are doing this and never win anything substantial if anything at all.

Why not just buy a mixture??? Personally I mostly own bitcoin and ETH but I also have some very small holdings in XRP, EOS, TRON,  VERGE, and some of the bitcoin/bitcoin cash forks. I bought them all a while ago and they've all made me some very good returns but I plan to keep holding them long term in the hope they rise even more. I can afford to gamble on that especially given how much I paid for them.

I usually don't like self moderated threads but I think they should have the right to mod their own as they want. The mods here seem to let a lot of trolling and fud happen so thread operators should be allowed to moderate their threads without having to rely on the mods to do it for them. The negative of course is that they can use it to silence people or eradicate suspicions but if that happens  and they're clearly abusing the power I think people should creatye their own thread to discuss their behavior and debate whether they're being shady or not.

The deal hasn't been done yet, but Mike Ashley is also a billionaire. That didn't do them any good. You have to have owners that are actually willing to spend money, but FIFA Financial Fair play rules were implemented after the stratospheric rises of teams like Manchester City and Chelsea so it's now going to be very hard for rich owners to simply come in and plough money into teams to make them into super squads. I think more should be done though because the damage has already been done and there are still loopholes that are ready to be exploited and huge teams will be experts in paying lawyers and accountants to find more ways of skirting any laws.


Buying Newcastle will be a lot cheaper than Liverpool. Liverpool's owners are also probably pretty happy and don't want to sell whereas Mike Ashley doesn't seem that content with the club and I think he even called buying them a mistake.


If Mourinhio takes over Newcastle and gets them in the top five then I will call him one of the greatest managers  . I don't think Newcastle will be willing to pay the wages he demands though. Mike Ashley certainly won't, unless Mou is willing to accept Sports Direct gift cards in exchnage for payment lol.

I fixed that for you. They're called contrails and we know why they're there. Science.


So who is doing this and why are they being sprayed exactly? Does the elite not breathe the same air we do? Do they not eat the same food? Some people just find a conspiracy in anything.  


And was they right? What damage have microwaves done? Maybe microwaves are secretly spying on us all.
