No one should be treated like this guy is being treated.
It should not be allowed.

it honestly shows how easily semi-smart people with weak minds can still be manipulated by ill-willed individuals.

Is this map actually realtime ?, or does it get updated on a regular basis ?

Load this in google earth, make sure you aren't mining, it will crash your sys driver.

Promotion of bitcoin, has people lining up to buy mining rigs,
this is monies spent entirely outside of bitcoin, that is not invested.
Every press release of a loss or hacking incident accumulates, which spooks the newer speculators and even miners of all ages into panic selling. Making them get burned in the process or leaving with very large sums never looking back. Right now, we have a crippling amount of miners and speculators being called in through mass promotion thinking "quick monies". Now anytime we see a spike, we can guarantee someone with a large sum is going to dump.

Okay I can see that but I don't understand why you think keeping it a secret is the answer. Is there not a middle ground between "get rich quick" promotion and secrecy. That being good level-headed and balanced information; such as what I think a TED talk would do, if done right. 

TED is really for intellectuals. Thinkers never have money, they usually just figure out how to float systems, or spend all their time in their heads and their money archiving/collecting.
which is what most of us are. XD

People that do things, those are the people that rush in when the price of BTC is at $30.
They don't use the internet as much as we do. They get their info through face and phone, from people they have a record of trusting and good faith, guarded through the lines of communication they have chosen.

The other thing is this, and this is paramount, religion, do not ever talk badly about religion on the forums or in business. This is the true test of bitcoin. If it fails it will indeed be related to this. Statistics show 90% (+/-) of the population on earth have a belief system that relates to some form of religious view. So when the guys here get into this, it's like they are setting all of us and themselves on fire or peeing in our food and theirs.

You guys seem to be prone to cognitive dissonance.

Lol, alternative blockchains are fun to make some quick proffit, but to take any next scamcoin seriously on any big bitcoin exchange will only hurt the image of bitcoin in the end i think.

don't be a scammer.

If you actually STOP promoting, the price will go up.

Seems you might be interested in PROFIT as well?  Wink

But anyway, could you explain the logic of how the price will go up by keeping it a secret?
This is not sarcasm. I really am interested in how you view this could work. 

Without any doubt I'm in this for profit, if anyone tells you they are not, don't trust that guy. XD

noticing the hash rate has dropped a significant amount in the last 36 hours, why hasn't the difficulty dropped with it? It just keeps going up very minutely, but still going up.

Because there is still a lot of power for the current difficulty. ie We haven't exceeded 3 minute blocks.

so right now, it's momentum is causing it to catch air, like a diesel truck hitting a ramp and 200MPH.

I'm not trying to offend anyone, but the whole idea, the root idea, of all of you guys promoting bitcoin is PROFIT.
Pure and simple, you want profit, and you cannot hide it, people see this so easy, the suspicion is correct too.
This is where the problem lies.

If you actually STOP promoting, the price will go up.

people see that downward curve and think "Okay, rats on a sinking ship."

That's what it looks like to an outsider.

It's supply and demand at the information level.

the reason why so many of you fail at promoting bitcoin and end up doing the exact opposite and fucking it over, is because people need to get to it on their own, like it's the best kept secret ever, which in some ways it still is. It's the lucrativeness that bring people to it, not some bullshit marketing or advertising
All it needs is people who accept bitcoin and face to face word of mouth, by people that know what they are talking about. 

the way you guys go about doing this shit, has the S's (schemer, scammer and spammer) written all over it.

1) Did you actually read the convo I had opened at TED?

2) If so, how could you possibly have perceived that as "spammy"??

The convo was totally appropriate, given TED's audience and demographics. The entire thesis was how Bitcoin may change economic relationships in poor countries. I understand some on these forums have spammed promotion... but I don't, and this wasn't.

nope didn't need too, all of you guys that do this stuff have schemer written all over you.
Since you have taken offense to what I wrote I can only assume you don't seem to understand the concept of why people block your entrance and don't want to read you or hear you. People outside, see bitcoin as an email from that prince of nigeria because of what all of you guys are doing promoting bitcoin the way you are.

If you want, remember the idea of "best kept secret",
you want to know why mtgox is 8.79?
Promotion.
the more it gets promoted like this, the more the price is going to drop.

Everyone = the whole of all sets

In that case no.

Anarchism is on par with the idea of perfection, can never achieved but is sought continually.

So you would agree that everyone has enough self control to run an anarchist society?

Define everyone.  Grin
