They just care about getting re-elected and when things go wrong they'll place blame on the opposition as they always have done, I think if the Republicans get elected chances are the Democrats are going to put all the blame on them once the economy dies and then they'll get another chance.

I thought I'd post this here because it's relevant, the job numbers are definitely being messed with to make those in power look good, in the UK they're declaring certain people 'self-employed' to make it look like unemployment has gone down, you can bet the U.S government is doing something similar, I seem to recall Peter Schiff talking about his and he was pointing out that the jobs people were being hired for were temporary jobs or jobs in the service sector, so things like waitresses, waiters, receptionists.

The worst part is people don't believe you and think you're making it up when you're telling them about this kind of bullshit, a bit like when you try to explain the economy lol Tongue

We're just pointing out what he's actually saying rather than what you think he's saying, why is that so hard to understand? We're not saying it's right at all.

Seems a bit weird that they'll bother sending warning letters when their not going to take any further action anyway  Huh

That's called watered down politics, there have been countries that have actually made it go through where you get a letter sent and then you can be taken to court or be disconnected from your ISP, I believe France has done that and the UK did attempt it at one point but there's clearly been that much outrage and opposition they've been forced to think twice, but they're trying to still make it look like they're doing something.

Is a bit like these fines being levied against banks that commit money laundering crimes etc. they can't do as much damage as they want to because of lobbying interests.

Are you kidding? People like that aren't worth the bother, they stay in their own group and hang out only on their own server for a reason, now scammers on the other hands are criminals and I don't mind taking them down a peg, but you'll find with people like that nobody likes them.

mainstream media is anti technology you think? i havent really followed it in years now

I don't really pay much attention to it either because I know better than them, but when you see their opinions on things like Bitcoin it's sometimes ridiculous to think how much influence they still have in the world, the only thing they seem keen on is things like Twitter because they love being able to promote themselves on it.

Depending on the network they also like to demonize games a lot which personally pisses me off quite a bit as I'm a gamer, that said, these are the exact same people who demonized the internet, rock and roll and heavy metal oh and of course Bitcoin itself.

Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Is this guy serious? I thought he was coming around when EuroPacific started accepting Bitcoin.

Max Keiser was actually talking about this on his show once, apparently he and Peter's brother went behind his back with it to try and get things moving.

Never thought I'd be grateful for 19 - 21 degrees celcius lol Tongue

If he follow mainstream media, you'll likely never get him into technology, my dad only ended up learning to use the computer because he has to so it's basically going to be when paper currencies collapse and cryptocurrencies are what we use for internet transactions that the previous generation will get into them.
4073  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2014-07-24] BitBeat: Bitcoin Price – Curiously – Gets No Boost on: July 24, 2014, 07:15:56 AM
What it is is we've had a massive increase in volume compared to the days when it was hitting $1000, so it's a lot more difficult to manipulate the market and so you'd have to have some serious buyers coming in to make the price move as it did before now, hell as people were saying ages ago, things might actually start getting stable depending on what happens because of how many people are getting into Bitcoins.

To me it doesn't matter.

What doesn't matter exactly? Huh Huh Grin

Whether they're guilty or not, if they've given up or been captured then you're just an asshole for wanting to kill them.

I think executions are perfectly OK I do not understand why people are so against them. If there is sufficient evidence for their conviction and the crime is deserving out it. They should die and who gives AF if they suffer for 10 minutes did there victims not suffer, are their family members still not suffering. Humans have been executing people since the beginning of time why did we just start beginning to think that we should no longer do it. Grin

It's quite simple why people are against it petestheman, what if you're wrong? There have been a number of cases I can probably just google and find on the first page of people being executed and then it turns out years later after their deaths they were innocent.

You don't fuck around with someones life just because you're angry and want to take revenge, it's the height of arrogance and a crime in itself.

I'm enjoying the obvious hate spam by the moron making several accounts on the comments page Cheesy

Yeah, I feel sorry for them to, Mark Karpeles is clearly an arrogant bastard, he reminds me of the politicians we have in the UK who are utterly convinced they've done no wrong even when they evidence is all stacked against them, I mean David Cameron is making the mistakes now but we've got our own historical example of Tony Blair and they're so desperate when they ever appear on television to convince us not that they were right but that they think they were right about the decisions they made.

“We shouldn’t marginalize women. We should just have more women on Bitcoin panels.”

The trouble with this is when they start bumping off respected and knowledgeable people just to try get any woman on the panel regardless of merit or knowledge. It happens all the time on comedy panel game shows when they need to fill their female pc quota so they end up putting any unfunny woman on who's available. I hope that doesn't sound sexist as I'm all for more women in both bitcoin and comedy (and it's good to see them cracking jokes here), but I don't think we should force these things. Women will get on board eventually but we dont need to treat them any differently.

Yeah, that's the thing, if you're going to get a woman make sure she's into cryptocurrencies, it's just a fact of life that some people aren't willing to accept that women are more interested in some things than men, you don't see people going around bitching at men to go to Jewellery or go to ballet if they aren't interesting do you?

^ Jewellery is one I know from personal experience there are tons of women there, the place I go to I'm the only guy despite the fact that setting gemstones and learning to mess with gold and silver for a living is fucking awesome
4079  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Cryptocurrency Trading profitable and how do you do it properly? on: July 23, 2014, 02:52:30 PM
Cryptocurrency trading is profitable. Trading is not a gambling, but a risk

if you want to know more about trading, go see this forum section : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=8.0
i learn a bit about trading from there

Thanks sandykho47 and everybody else for the answer. I think one of the main questions I have is how do you know when a crypto is going to go up and when one is going to go down? The forum section you gave me is pretty useful but most of the data is "strewn" if you know what I mean. I've become weary of mining and was interested in trying out trading.

Because most cryptocurrencies are open markets, you know exactly how much currency is coming in and the limits of the volume being traded, so it follows basic supply and demand rules most of the time, you also take note of things like difficulty and the hash rate of the network which can all be looked up by anyone.

Germany or the UK, they both have already legalised Bitcoin and you just have to pay standard taxes on your profits if you sell the Bitcoins, Switzerland might be another option as well but that depends on what the lawmakers are going to do about it, I don't recommend U.S for reasons that should be obvious if you've done the research but it's a bit early to say for the rest of the world just yet.
