I wouldn't say it's just about better lawyers and being less convenient to prosecute, it's also about fucked up drug laws (and those CAN be changed).
Knowing the ridiculous reasons for it doesn't make it less of a gigantic disgusting contradiction though.
It's people's entire lives we are talking about here, not a fart in a movie theater.
What can I tell you? Complaining on speculation forums won't change things.  We wanna be free! We wanna be free to do what we wanna do. We wanna be free to ride. We wanna be free to ride our machines without being hassled by The Man.
...and we wanna get loaded! |

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. |

^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.  |

Ross Ulbricht and Blake Benthall will probably get life in prison while Jamie Dimon and similar criminals will walk free.
... Seems like sometimes ...life's not really fair   More like surreal and disgusting. Put yourself in LEO shoes. They shut down SR1, arrest DPR, and this d00d, allegedly DPR's underling... does he walk away run to a country with no US extradition treaty? No. He starts SR2, runs it from San Fran, uses his Gmail, TL;DR: does everything he can short of screaming "look ma I'm doing it!" I mean, cops can turn a blind eye, but that's pretty much baiting  |

^Another thing: SR2 was kept open long after the servers were imaged.  |

Those Spondoolies boxen must be stuffed with accelerants...
Even plastics that are "non-flammable", like PVC and circuit boards, will release flammable gases when thrown into a fire. Ditto for painted metal. Maybe the fire started in some flammabe material (such as the roof insulation) but was then sustained and amplified by those gases. Not sure about the Wild East, but western insulation is mostly non flammable. Sure, the forced air can do wonders when it comes to sustaining fires, but other than cable insulation (which sorta burns) this was an empty building with concrete floors, metal racks, and SP boxen (there's a pre-fire pic somewhere on this forum). Having a hard time imagining how a staffed facility could go up like that. /Tips "911 was government jews and thermite" hat |

Judging by the forums, alot of bears seems to be getting trapped  Nah, bears are doing fine. You drank too much of this d00d's koolaid.  |

If only someone has warned you... ...
What's weird about it? Your argument is that you can't keep up with difficulty, meaning the investment will lose value, since mining yields less and less. Yet the shares gained value, way above 50%. ...
Dividends paid, shares gaining value... Why would you want to mess with such a winning combination by issuing another IPO and cutting divs? Or... *Are you a wizard? |

Gentlemen. Unlike ABitInterested and his pal TwentySeventy, I keep my promises.
The heartfelt condolences gif you've been promised:

I'm really disappointed with this latest pump. It looked like the perfect setup for inciting a nice rally... The timing was odd. Could'a used a good solid rumor, at least some sort of buzz. |

...what would happen if the price of bitcoin goes significantly below the cost of production for most miners... ...
Woah! That's completely fcked up man. If mining isn't that profitable anymore and this here happens to you? Just, damn.
Funkiest electrical fire I've ever seen. Those Spondoolies boxen must be stuffed with accelerants...  |

It is not possible with fractional banking. The entire idea is to not pay it off.
You're half right. |

The predicament being a Bitcoin bagholder, huh?
And you don't really get to complain about knee jerk reactions if what you write is the argumentative equivalent of a Taylor reflex hammer. I'm sure inside your head, it's all beautifully subtle and sophisticated, but to the outside world, it sounds like a crude answer to a delicate problem.
Lol, seeing answers when none are given, seeing enemies where there are none. Typical Bitcoiner. *I quote Ginsberg and Burroughs. You paint me as a prohibitionist.  |

The history of drugs and their impact on mankind is really quite simple: they're totally bad. Nothing good about them. -- NotLambchop
Making false, knee-jerk assumptions is exactly what got you into the predicament you're in now *Bill Burroughs was a lifelong junky. |

Bottomline, some people can handle drugs, others can't.
Junk is the ideal product... the ultimate merchandise. No sales talk necessary. The client will crawl through a sewer and beg to buy. |

I have seen "drugs" ruin the lives of several young guys and their families... I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix

"foreign law enforcement authorities" imaged the Silk Road 2.0 server on May 30—which means the site was allowed to continue to operate for five more months while the FBI, HSI, and partner law enforcement organizations gathered data.[/b]"
That's wise of them to have done that, why should that surprise anyone? Nah, just people here bragging about still using Agora because its "working just fine." Unbelievable fail  |
