the entire history of mankind had a monarchy, so if we follow your logic we should have a monarch not a government.

No, Robert Paulson.  Wrong again.  Return to ditch digging pl0x.

There are services that I expect to be available in my community, roads need maintained, fires need put out, trash needs to be picked up. If I had the time to do one of these jobs I'd expect to be paid for my work. Since I don't have the time, I expect others to do this work for me, and I have to pay my share so that these folks can feed their families.

TT

Why do you think that government intervention is necessary for such services ?
Why do you think private business can't be more efficient for that than a bureaucrat ?

Because the entire history of mankind?

No more annoying "yeah, but we're still up from last year" posts.

yeah, but we still didn't crash below last year -> So, you couldn't possibly loose anything, right?
yeah, but we're still up from two years ago -> So, you could actually make a nice profit regardless.
yeah, but... but... we are still going up next year! -> So, you can still profit if you haven't already.
but...

In a couple of days...

correct, you told the fact! bitcoin is more likely going to $300 and lower

Sssh fallling.

Jorge how much of the VC money invested in bitcoin in the last 24 months originated in mainland china?
Why would otherwise sensible silicon valley venture capitalists invest so heavily in an ecosystem as small as bitcoin without evidence of user growth, or invest at all if 'the big fundamental fact' was bearish? ...

If gambling was unprofitable, why would otherwise sensible people build casinos?

it's amazing, literally amazing how all these bear trolls got in under $10 and sold off at over $1000

No.  Unlike many here, I don't brag about my boss trading or prognostication skills.
Yes, I got lucky, but I won't rub it in your face.  Not even if you beg.  Though don't let me stop you from begging--get as much practice in as you can before having to do it 4 a livin' Smiley

Yep, the ole "I got lucky" story and now I'm here to teach you the error of your ways.

so I was close.

...

Wrong again.  You're uneducable, you can benefit from my advice no more than ...oh, a rusty shovel.  But you do quite a passable job as a teaching aid, the Bitcoin Poster Boy
to point to as I gravely say to my young charges:  "Keep neglecting your lessons, and you'll grow up just like THAT!"

The tikes get horribly spooked at first, but then we all point fingers and laugh.

Lambchop, let me guess your story. Like so many of the other people who hate bitcoin yet spend all their time here.

You bought in under $10

You cashed out around $1200

You now want others to realise the error of their ways?

Am I close?

No.  Unlike many here, I don't brag about my boss trading or prognostication skills.

Not quite such an impressive headline for the FBI though, is it

Better than nothin' I suppose.  They probably could do better if you'd really like them to Smiley

Nah, that's the point. They can't. However much little sheep like you would like the FBI to be all powerful they can't actually do much.

Agora + Evolution + BitcoinFog + BMR all the other sites that have been around for much longer than SR2 are proof of that.

Lol, yeah.  Whatever eases the butthurt Cheesy

lol you're taking this personally. What happened to the benevolent reptilians, now you're using words like butthurt  Cheesy

besides lampchop, if you really think that they beat anyone, that they really damaged the darknet movement at all by taking out some ass hat who no one took seriously for the past year.

A guy who loudly beat his chest about "having the best OPSEC in history" whilst posting pics of pigs in San Francisco on his instagram and tweeting about silkroad, who handed the KEYS to his admin panel to an FBI agent, who posted screenshots of his bitcoin balance and cashed out his bitcoins via coinbase in his real name whilst renting the server with his blake@benthall.net email address, then you are retarded.
...

I never claimed that Bitcoiners were particularly bright.  SR1 failed due to DPR's braggadocio and mistakes.  SR2 failed due to more of the same, but lulzier.  Happens in real wars too, you get progressively shittier generals as the good ones get owned.

As far as thinning the heard being a good thing?  Well, at least the wolves sure have no cause for complaint.  According to the Coindesk article:
Quote
At least 400 dark net web domains have been reported seized and 17 individuals individuals arrested in connection with Operation Onymous, an ongoing global cybercrime crackdown.
So it appears that your asshat friend wasn't the only assclown in teh "darknet movement." [*stifled giggles*]

Guyfawkesmask.jpg

Wow they spent a year and managed to arrest 17 out of the hundreds of thousands, and they've already admitted 400 domains weren't seized, it was more like 50. Which is likely due to them taking down one host in Bulgaria.

So they didn't touch Tor, they didn't touch the big sites, they took out one idiot who handed them the keys and when they found out where his server was located they looked at all the other servers in the same room and found out some host in bulgaria was making it easy for .onion administrators so they shut down all his servers.

P.S.  It didn't "take them 12 months."  The lolercoaster was boarded by The Man almost from the get-go, and the server was imaged close to half a year ago.
It was kept it running as a honeypot.

There was a miner convention no later than last week that kind of drove this point home : miners are some of the most bullish actors in the BTC scene. It is misguided to assume that they are selling most of their coins.
...

If miners sold every coin that they mined and did not believe in the future of Bitcoin, would you expect them to admit it?  That would be a bit like a fishmonger yelling "Fish, not-so-fresh fish!  Stinks to high heaven, I can't stand it, buy my fish!"

You tried that one in the other thread troll. Please go away you stink rotten fish.

Yes it is perfectly reasonable for them to admit they are selling in order to cover the cost of their operations. Some admitted they do so and there are absolutely miners out there who have no problem admitting they sell a large quantity of their coin so that kind of defeats your argument, doesn't it? Troll

^Bankers have better lawyers and are less convenient/advantageous to prosecute.  Most people realize that the justice system is unfair, but don't draw attention to it because etiquette.  When you smell a fart in a movie theater, do you yell "somebody farted"?   No.  It's pointless, and makes those around you feel awkward.


Quite the apologist for the status quo aren't you?

No.  That would be as weird as me trying to justify gravity or laws of physics.  The status quo is the way things are.  Don't like it?  Change it.
Yeah, things are shit, but whining about it is pretty weak.
