Why not? You gotta go sometime. Why not become the first to die on Mars? even if you have to go a little sooner than you would otherwise.

The dangers and unsurenesses and complicatednesses of the whole Mars project are so great, that to have any kind of real success at all, one need hold this dying as a goal attitude, just to make the thing successful.

All states are states of mind. Go to the boundary between any two States in the United States. If there doesn't happen to be any natural divide, like a canyon, or a river, that mark the border between the two States, and if there doesn't happen to be a fence erected by the States, how will anyone know with certainty where the border between the two States lies?

Sometime in the past, a bunch of people got themselves all in a "tizziful" mental state, and decided where the border between the two States was going to exist. Then they measured it out with transits, and wrote the whole thing down in books, so that they would have the record when their memories began to become hazy... when senility or Alzheimer's set in. So, we have the record of their mental state and we call it the border between two States. As time goes by, meanings of words change, so that the clear written records don't quite have the same meanings when we of the present age re-read those written STATEments.

State atheism is simply some writings about what some people believe. Because they believe it, and can't prove it any more than other people might be able to prove some other things that these other people believe, State atheism is a religion, just like State Theocracy is a religion. In a way, anything that people believe, especially if they cannot prove it, is a religious state in the minds of the people who so believe. When the beliefs are written down, and the whole nation adheres to them, they become a State religion. It's all a state of mind.

It has to be One God. Why? Consider how many couples work together so well that there is never any problem at all. If there were more than One God, a universe this complicated could never have come into being because of the bickering between them.

On the other hand, the earth is quite big. Consider this. You could take the whole population of the United States (about 330 million) and comfortably settle them on 6,000 square miles of land. That would leave you several million square miles of United States land for you to use to farm, mine, and manufacture, and whatever else you might want to do with the land. Dig up the numbers, think about it, and you will see that this is so. Pollution calculations might be inflated and grossly misused by those who want to manipulate the thinking of the population for their own greedy purposes.

God wants you dead. Why? Because Jesus suffered for all the mistakes of the whole universe. And the biggest mistake was made by man when he neglected to give God the glory for creation. Man did this in the trust they put in the serpent in the garden when it (the serpent) told them to eat the fruit God commanded them to not eat.

So why does God want us dead, especially since He sent His Son Jesus to save us from death? Because Jesus was a man as well as God. As God, Jesus has the power to do anything. As a man, He had the ability to suffer and die as people do.

Now, think about this. If a mosquito bites you, say, on your right shoulder blade, what do you do when you feel it? You instinctively swat it with your left hand. When Jesus feels a sin that you do that causes Him pain, doesn't He instinctively want to use His almighty God power to get rid of the pain by damning you to Hell? But His mercy and love and patient endurance keep Him from doing it, sending you immediately to Hell. He wants to save you!

The point is, after you have tested Him over and over again with your continual sinning, which is causing Him continual pain, where is the point that the man part of Him will simply kick in and overcome the patience, love and mercy, and He will swat you damned to Hell. So, God wants you dead in this life, so you don't tempt Him beyond His patience, and He sends you to Hell. That way He can raise you, perfect, in the resurrection, perfect for and to eternal life.

If I started with bitcoin today, show me the better profits.

NASA inventor invents perpetual motion machine. China had it for 5 years now. See http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/News/160811-2014-08-07-huge-breakthrough-at-nasa.htm and watch the video. It doesn't point blank say perpetual motion. But that is what it is talking about. Are they going to let us power our houses and cars with this? What do you think?

The reason for scalping is to take some of the edge off the fact that we don't know for sure which way the market is heading. The reason for hedging, and high Stops and low Limits is the same. While we can't predict, the market has always followed certain patterns and mathematical laws. There are other things besides direct predicting that make success feasible. Obviously, if everything went wild, like might happen at the time just before the big fiat crash that is coming, the laws of math that we use might not work for profitability any longer. Not saying that the laws would change. Just saying that there is certain stability and long-range predictability in the way the fiats work. Is this stability something that has been artificially added to the market by the banks, so that they can rape the nations? Probably.

Nobody knows that the earth is millions of years old. There are alternate explanations for the scientific observations that suggest how old the earth is. The earth may be relatively young. Bible witnesses say about 6,000 years. NO science has any provable evidence for anything past the previous 5,000 years or so.

Go to Mars if you like. Probably man was meant to traverse the Universe at some time. But things are not as they should be since the time that mistakes entered the Universe, and man started dying. So, it won't be easy. Even with modern technology, it will probably be a lot harder than it was for Columbus to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

It wasn't so funny for the guy who paid 10,000 bitcoins for a pizza.

Are you talking quantum entanglement? Be careful using that. You never know what you might quantumly entangle yourself into. Take it slow and easy.

There is no such thing as random chance. Everything operates by cause and effect. So, probably, karma is the Great First Cause rewarding those who do good.

... and where should we stop doing it?

Since money is simply stored up labor of the people, I might consider buying some of their labor.

Believing that scientists have any clue about how old the universe is.

This is difficult to answer. If the banking system collapsed today, Bitcoin would probably rocket to the moon and beyond. The problem is, who knows for sure when the banking system will collapse?

My above Strategy has shown promise. And the other one that I mentioned shows much safety along with promise. If I can make more fiat money using the Forex, then I have more fiat money to buy bitcoins.

Personally, like you, I feel that the gamble is in the fiat money. Bitcoin will be strong. But for the moment you can't generally go to the corner grocery store and buy your food with bitcoins. So, we need both. Let's hope that we are ready for the fiat crash when it comes.

The goal of Russia was always to do what works. When it was found that Stalin's implementing of Lenin's Marxist ideals did not work, Russia changed. But the change is only in the methods.

The Russian goal has always been to formally control the whole world. Stalin was half Jewish, and as many as 97% of his Politburo was Jewish. And there is much controversy about how much of Russia's so-called Jewishness was really Jewish.

Common law in the United States has to do with person to person, harm and damage. It is the foundation of all law in America. Because of this, Americans hold their government back, simply by keeping their government from hurting them, and using the basic American law, common law, to do it. Russian law has none of this. The whole Russian government is essentially dictatorial. What the Russian government says is law, is the thing that is implemented. Multi-ethnic composition has nothing to do with it.
