Last night Democratic debate (as usual) was all about attacking Trump. Whoever attacks the President most gets the prize. I would like to see Dems focused 100% on their primaries and just leave Trump alone, but it seems they can't help themselves.

Americans spoke against that bs propaganda by voting for Trump in the previous president election, and will do the same in the next one where Trump win will be much easier.

They obviously don't know it, but  this kind of media propaganda is actually helping him, as anyone reasonable will see through their agenda and vote for Trump again.
Average Joe is just sick of that, and it will show once again.

The two networks seems to be in a battle for the same dwindling far-left market and continued to be Beaten in Ratings by Children’s Cartoons

MSNBC first started making things up and calling that News, CNN responded by following MSNBC into the toilet. There now is a race to see who can lie the most. CNN seems to be winning the race to see who get flushed first until recently when MSNBC seemed to have overtaken CNN in Trump hate.

Meanwhile, Fox News is well above both CNN and MSNBC in television viewership and has picked up millions of more viewers since the 2016 election.

That network makes CNN look like a child play. I mean, have you watched MSNBC lately? They dedicate their entire programs insulting The President of the United States, portraying him as a lier, a conman, corrupt, and in fact, the worst criminal on earth. MSNBC has really become something else. They are 100% in the business of hating Trump, and they do it with pure anger and hatred.

What exactly has Trump done wrong to elicit such hatred, other than he won a legitimate election fair and square?

Do you think Trump, and indeed, every patriotic American should seriously speak up against the network and its programming?
44  Other / Politics & Society / Re: John Bolton fired by President Trump - BREAKING on: September 12, 2019, 08:34:08 PM
The firing was a good move but I don't like how President Trump talked the reasons he fired him to the media, making it look like though it was influenced by the North Korea. Yes, he suggested Libya type of solution for North Korea. That's just a suggestion and should be kept secret. Telling the media about it is a complete off for me.

45  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I Sold 2BTC at $3,000 and BTC Bumped to $10,000 on: September 12, 2019, 05:26:24 PM
In my experience, I sold BTC1.40 around last December and I know that it was devastating to see what bitcoin is worth now. We did the same thing because no one could even assure us that it could go up after dropping from $6k and a crippling long period of bear market. It is not really funny when fate plays your life. No one saw it coming and now I am full of regret.

At least it isn't as bad as my sale.

I sold 600 bitcoins for $2 each  Cheesy

But then again, we all have our moments like the person that traded 10,000 bitcoins for two Papa John's pizzas

Now, these are the real pain in the ass. Remembering this everyday is enough to cause some problems. BTC600 = $6,000,000+ in today's market, enough to retired and live happily ever after. And BTC10,000 is the worst I ever heard of. I hope the person is still alive?
46  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: IF Trump via Executive Order Banned Bitcoin, what are consequences if any? on: September 12, 2019, 05:18:57 PM
Trump will not ban Bitcoin but if he decides to do that, he has 100% power to do it through executive order or even through the congress. Take for example the recent statement by Brad Sherman who is a member of the U.S. Congress. His statements below-

"An awful lot of our international power comes from the fact that the U.S. dollar is the standard unit of international finance and transactions," Sherman said at a meeting of the House Financial Services Committee last week.

"Clearing through the New York Fed is critical for major oil and other transactions. It is the announced purpose of the supporters of cryptocurrency to take that power away from us, to put us in a position where the most significant sanctions we have against Iran, for example, would become irrelevant."
PROMOTED

Bitcoin, which allows its users to move value around the world beyond the sight and reach of governments and law enforcement, is often criticized for its ability to help terrorists, criminals, tax evaders.

"So whether it is to disempower our foreign policy, our tax collection enforcement or traditional law enforcement, the advantage of crypto over sovereign currency is solely to aid in the disempowerment of the United States and the rule of law," Sherman added.

Sherman, who has previously called bitcoin and cryptocurrencies "a crock", added the U.S. should prevent people from buying or mining cryptocurrencies.

I understands your pain brother. Life can be so cruel sometimes and you should take solace in my own example, you're never alone in this. Countless of people have done the same thing. No one of us can predict the future no matter how hard we try. That's why we experience something like this all the time.

It is understandable OP you made the right choice, every sane person would do the same as you do for the sake of your own family. Money would come and go but family is a different story, it might be a loss at your side but at least you still get a portion of it–it's still not a loss after all.

Yeah, for sure. I would have gotten much more if I had waited, I don't consider it a loss in anyway because it served it's purpose at that time.

Online Casinos are already being regulated worldwide. I don't think we need any impute from a security company who may be out for their own interested rather than that of Casino companies or Casino players. Even if they finds scam, what are they gonna do about it? Do they have the power to enforce anything?
50  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bustabit strategy on: September 08, 2019, 09:20:55 AM
in bustabit lowest bet is 1bit, so profit is almost 10btc in 2 million games.

It depends on the winning rate. If the rate is 0%, he could make no profit in 2 million games. If the rate is 100% he could make 2million bit in 2 million games

I lost a lot of sleep in 2016. But not this time. Trump is going to have it easily in 2020. I pity those who still believe in polls. The only poll that matters is the Patriotic Americans who comes out well ahead of schedule in every Trump's rally. They will do the same in election day.

This post really provided so much valuable lesson not just for newbies, even of experienced traders. I know that it's a bit hard to swallow what happened but we might still be on a good ride at this point. Crypto is just starting and don't get your hopes down!

116 Activity points without a merit? I just decided to send you my last sMerit just to get you out of the Newbie zone  Roll Eyes

I hope you deserves it.
53  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Adam Kokesh for President. Platform: shut down the U.S. Government. on: September 06, 2019, 06:00:58 PM
When it comes right down to it:
1. State governments have Federal Government Constitution adherence listed right in their Constitutions. This means that even without the Federal Government, State governments must support the ideals and rights guaranteed in the Federal Constitution;
2. States have much better ability to handle local affairs that the Federal government does;
3. Rapid communication and transportation between State governments make the need for the Federal to be non-existent. Whatever Fed Gov does, the States can do together, just as easily;
4. A combined military between the States makes the need for a Federal military unnecessary;
5. Doing away with the Federal Government would take away the ability of Fed Gov people to covertly do all the harmful and expensive manipulations in the world that they do;
6. There would be a tremendous monetary savings if Fed Gov were shut down. This could be applied to the States;
7. No more IRS threat and intimidation.

There are multitudes of benefits from shutting down Fed Gov. The above are only a few.


I hope this is some kind of new jokes because these sounds so frightening that no one would want to listen to a speech like this.

Hate to be that guy, but I don't see any real news regarding the topic. I'm not a big fan of trusting random people on social media to get my news from (even if the mainstream media can't always be trusted)

Anychance you have a reputable news company, even one in Belgium which is reporting on this issue?

You seriously expects CNN or MSNBC or BBC to report on this? In this current political clime in the USA and around the world? Please, expect no further because it may never come.

Meanwhile, this was in news last year: https://www.euronews.com/2018/04/26/islam-party-stirs-controversy-ahead-of-belgian-elections

And you can check this Reddit discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/samharris/comments/d0933a/a_muslim_party_in_belgium_is_campaigning_to_and/

Top comment from your reddit thread:

"Lol. I live in Belgium and I haven't heard shit about this. Whoever these guys are, they're completely irrelevant."

Seems like you're just trying to stir up trouble by making posts like this.

No. I am not interested in troubles. Just reporting the news the way I found it, haven't been to Belgium all my life, maybe I'll visit someday.

Interesting comment...

Muslims are very patient, and relentless in their long-term plans, but they are not stupid.

They know enough not to push for an Islamic state in a country where they are still a small minority.

If you really want to see the real-world process of Islamification come to its ultimate fruition - look for examples where a country tips over from an Islamic minority to an Islamic majority.

Lebanon is a good example. Christians had power there in my lifetime - now the place is run by Hezbollah, an Iranian puppet. ( Iran being an Islamic state and all that )

A Muslim Party in Belgium is campaigning and promoting to establish an Islamic state in their new country, being Belgium. France is also currently under serious pressure to adapt to Muslim ways of life and make way for Islamic state. Sweden and Germany are not left out. Could this be true? What do you think is the future of Europe?

According to a Twitter user,
Quote
This is so wrong and so dangerous. Presumably, when you move to a new country, you should become a contributing citizen. Here, they want to force their hosts to adapt to their culture, way of life, and rules to live by. Europe is gone, Canada is next, then the US.

Some of us are not comfortable with the word "MLM" that can explain why someone has triggered yellow warning to your profile. A lot of people has been hurt by MLM, just like HYIP and other similar schemes.

What you are promoting is called Pyramid Scheme, except I am not getting you right? Maybe you can take enough time to convince members of this community, and explains things better if you think that yours is legitimate. But I doubt if MLM can ever be seen as legitimate and "Ok" scheme. That's MHO.

A post worth reading and giving time for all those who rely totally on bitcoins and are keeping it no matter in which conditions they are. You should keep bitcoins only if you have some other job, please do not make your life difficult by holding bitcoins who knows about the next moment, eh?

Thank you @lolxxxx for the comment and for the Merit you gave. You have it spot on. Bitcoin should be kept only when you have a job or other means to sustain yourself. Never keep it to the detriment of your well being.

As long as it's a gambling, you will need a license to run it legally as a business in any jurisdiction you intend to offer the services. I am not sure if such license is available in most states in the USA. But you will surely need a license.

Thank you all to those who have contributed to this discussion, and to those who gave me Merits, I appreciates your kind gestures. I hope we learned some lessons through my experience, and from the experiences of others who contributed to the discussion.
