Its not hard to make PayPal account using VCCs and fake data, so id you are going for that version it can be safe to some degree. Example: you are selling something to someone and he asks for PP, you simply make an account ( verify it ) and get your payment. If he scams you in next few days until when he receives goods and asks for refund you will have your money and you can just ignore that account since you used VCCs to make it. In other words, you can find a solution for scammer without a problem.

Let's put it like this. You don't wanna pay tax on BTC but you want police to protect your rights ( police and government ) if someone steals them from you?

It's not about me. Humanity expects police to do their job(protect civilians rights) while at the same time they don't want to be robbed of their property NOR the value of that property.



Ok lets put it like this. Have you ever played some game that has in game currency ( trading, but stuff and so on, ofc in game )?. Now imagine someone hacks your account and takes your stuff. Will you go to police? Ofc not even if it has some value to you and to some number of player that play that game, right? Same is with BTC, if has value to us and to others who are using it, why do you thing government has to protect your interests when you ( not YOU ) are not willing to pay the tax on that, considering you earned it?

If they ban it i will be pissed and angry, but I can't say they stole my money since they didn't.

Not everyone had the fortune to be born into this world With both balls, unfortunately. Fortunately though, for the bitcoin community, most are.

It has nothing to do with having big Cojones, its about common sense. So again if they ban it or decide to put tax on them ( even insane tax ) I can't say they stole it from me, simple as that. Let's put it like this. You don't wanna pay tax on BTC but you want police to protect your rights ( police and government ) if someone steals them from you?

Personally, I'm ready to go downtown to throw stones and fight for my life to defend Bitcoin.

Why? If they ban it, they steal MY money. That's my firm point of view which i'm ready to die for. I even long for the day they try.

When the dollar inflation takes off people will naturally flee into gold, silver and those who knows about bitcoin will chose Bitcoin. After 1 day, all local gold and silver is gone. The only options left is Bitcoin(and the Word/knowledge of it will spread like wildfire) or some extremely unstable bondmarket. What will People chose? Anyway:

When 3.5% of the population adopt the mentality of defendning their Bitcoin by force: Byebye FED, time to free humanity.


Just man up and we got this.

There are 7billion people in the world now, 3.5% is a lot so ot sure how you go that number? So 245million people, that's 10x more then there will ever be mined BTCs....

If they ban it i will be pissed and angry, but I can't say they stole my money since they didn't. I will still have it only the value of BTCs will be much much lower.

Actually if you are referring to the God described in the Bible his existence has be disproven many times. I find it funny how easy is to call someone a lunatic now if he says he is talking to a cat, burning thingy hears voices.... but person who did that few K years ago is a god....

The West Bankrupted the Soviets in 1990
Only to be bankrupted by the Russians 30 Years Later

Yes... the bankruptcy will result from rising costs of oil and gas. Russia is the number one producer of petroleum and gas. Remember that every year Russia exports oil and gas worth $400 billion to the Western nations. Sanctions means that the exports will remain at the same level, while the imports will decline. Result: Western nations will lose their revenue and economic collapse will happen.

You haven't noticed the USA is ramping up oil and natural gas production is now poised to overtake Russia as the world's #1 producer.

You can't see the globalists have this all planned out.

USA consumes about 20mill barrels of oil per day and produces about 8mill barrels so that insane difference they USA imports. Russia has daily consumption od less then 3.5mill BPD and produces more then 11mill.

Humans have not been listening to the "space" long enough to take that time into consideration and a prof that aliens do not exist. Let's put it like this. If i live on an island in some ocean with 100 other people and the closest land is 6.000km in any direction, chances that me and my "friends" will find any other life are slim ( considering we still havent discovered planes, boats that can cross oceans ). In that case my enitre life I would thing that we are the only humans.....

But now we have detected exo planets similar to Earth.  And that will continue, now that we know how to do it.  After a while, we'll have - let's say - a list of 100 such planets.  We can aim DIRECTIONAL recievers at those points.

Right now we are just randomly pointing antennas around hoping to maybe pick something up.  With radio that doesn't work too well.  You'd never hear or talk to the Mars rovers unless you had extremely narrow directional antennas.

And obviously to listen to another star system, the problem is that much worse.  We do have some good guesses as to what frequencies to listen on, but have not to this time, known WHERE.

And how will that help? There are billions of planets in our galaxy alone, what are the chances that those planets would have intelligent life? Less then winning a lotto 3x in a row. You are forgetting many things, and one of them evolution and technological develepment. Being a planet that can sustain life doesnt equal intellignet life has yet evolved or survived, or taht species is capable to emit radio into space. And we as humans have been brought to near extinction many, many times... And dont forget that human made radio wave has traveled about 100 LY so far ( furthest ), so if lets say there is an intelligent life on that Exoplanet listening to our part of the galaxy ( pointing radio waves to our planet ) he wont detect ANYTHING.

You misunderstand.  I suggest not that an ET would hear anything from us, but that signalling from, to and between ET would be by narrow beam communications.  Of what type?  Does not really matter.  Narrow beam requires knowing where to point, so ET(planet 937) would point at what he considered habitable planets.  Because of some details of chemistry, water is most suitable, so he would have had a beam pointed at Earth.

How would you detect it?   You'd crank a directional antenna around in turn between planet 0...999, and when you hit 937, you might pick it up.  If you did, you just hit the jackpot.  Because that repeating broadcast from ET would contain the details of how, where and when to communicate.

I know what are you trying to say but you need to take into calculation time since it plays HUGE part in detecting intelligent life. If that planet 973 has intelligent life that is at same level of technological level as we are then we wont be hearing form them in centuries. Radio waves travel with the same speed as light so if they are 900 LY away and they sent signal 100 years from now we wont hear it in another 800 years. And if they are millions of years ahead we probably will never figure out they exist. But what if that planet has intelligent life but they are in stone age?
Well, let me give you a more plausible case.  100,000 years ago numerous advanced civilizations in the galaxy set up transmitters pointed to identified life-capable exo planets.  Some died or were wiped out, but others continued the transmissions using the same formula   The transmitters were to run indefinitely and transmit a repeating broadcast with specific info on where to look in the sky for information broadcasts.  All broadcasts are one direction, transmit only.  Like our DirectTV satellites, you might say.

We discover exoplanets, we point our sensitive antenna at them and suck up a couple of broadcasts.  Decode them, perhaps build the necessary equipment, and VOILA!  We are hooking into the galactic DirectTV, baby!  Cool!

Now, you see, "time lag" does not really matter.

Some years/centuries/millenia later, perhaps we choose to set up our own transmitter.

And why do you think that after 100,000 years ago they are still searching for intelligent life or that if they are wiped out/extinct their radio equipment is still active after all those years?  Time lag is crucial, you can't neglect that and say oh well who cares. Assume that some alien race 100,000 years "older" and more advanced then us, why d you think they will search for intelligent life so low on a technological level? The difference between us and that alien race in technology is so great that that alien race wouldn't be interested in "talking". And even if they are interested they would be looking for signs of current communication not possible one in xyz years. They find exoplant, listen fo few week, they dont hear anything and move along, same as we are doing. And if they are so advanced that they discovered how to harness the power of Tachyons ( assuming they exist ) there is no chance for us to speak to them or detect something we are not even sure exists, and if you think alien race so advanced would use sublight speed communication, then thats just wrong.

If they do they will be meet with the same fate as many other invaders, like Napoleon or Hitler...

At that time there were no nuclear weapons. Unfortunately that is not the case now. More than half of the human population might be exterminated, if the WW3 actually occurs due to any fight between the USA and Russia.

Well Mongols have conquered a lot and only by using horse. Roman had waste empire with good steel and trained soldiers.. What im trying to say is that every war that was fought ( either to conquer or to protect you country form attack ) by weapons that are technologically advanced for that age and generation ( millions ) have died. USA and Russia arent dump and both know that in the case of WW3 no country would use nuclear weapon because that would be like signing a death sentence. But every country would use nuclear weapon for the " last stand " when they dont have anything to lose.

If theory that nothing can travel faster then life is true then chances that we find prof on an alien life are even slimmer. We are not listening to the stars long enough so we cant say that we are 100% certain that we are the only intelligent life in universe/galaxy. Looking at one Exoplanet today and not "hearing" anything doesn't mean that id didnt had intellignet life or it has it now. From that planet you mentioned for anything to come it would take close to 500 years and that is a long time. 5 centuries ago we couldn't even dream of flying and look at humanity now. What if 500 years ago they were at same level of technological development as we were or even less developed.

So no, it's not even remotely a prof of anything....

Humans are animals, accept that. We are built ( or digestive system ) in such order that we simply have everything to digest meat and process it. Our teeth are not built as teeth of a cow, we have canine teeth, we don't have digestive system of a herbivores. And hunting pray and making tools to do that built civilizations. If early humans made their diet solely on eating "green stuff" then we would have been extinct as a species...

I dont see how wed be extinct.

What will happen during ice age, when lost of crops died and such? You cant sustain settlements solely on one food type and pray to good nothing bad will happen...
