There's no equal society. People are so different that it's impossible to bring them all to the same level.
If you believe it's possible, you're a dreamer. Can you make an idiot smart? No! So to bring people into equal status you'd have to make the smart ones dumber or at least make them act like it. It's only one example of why the society will never be equal or it will be forced at the expense of exceptional units.

But why would you need to recognize the school?
I had no uniform at school and I don't know anybody that did. We were allowed to wear whatever we chose to and it was also easier and cheaper for the parents as they didn't have to buy a closet full of uniforms that would then have to be thrown away when the child graduates.

I wish it was like that in other countries. In some parts of the world when you sum up all the taxes together you find out that they're taking over half of your money. It's insane. People have been turned into slaves for the common good. I would support just taxes of 10%, but anything above this is a robbery IMO and I'm not going to give up half of my money to pay some corrupt politician's wage.

I have no problem sleeping. It's really easy if you are lucky to have withdrawn your initial investment.
Once you do it and have only profits to play with you'll see how calm and relaxed you'll become. Worst case scenario you won't be rich, but you won't be poor or in debt either.
Remember that your health is more important than financial profits. Don't worry yourself to death.

Your country is not the most corrupt nor it is the one with the longest history of corruption. In italy it's also been present for a long time and it is there now, along with the mafia. The most corrupt countries are the poor ones, so Africa and South America are the place to go if you want to get things done under the table.
You're right though, it can't be eradicated. Even if you give people free money they will always want more and will be willing to hook you up for some, favors, sex, whatever.

You have a healthy attitude and the problem of today's world is not many people do. You don't like it, you don't use it, but you have no right to force your opinion on others.
I'm not using drugs myself but I would never try to punish people for doing it. These are their lives and their choices. This is what should change.

In Madoff's case more people people got hurt. It wasn't even close to a 50/50, i'd say it was like 80/20 in favor of the broke. He was running an inefficient trading system since the beginning that worked only because some of those wealthy investors didn't need to cash out. He was taking 100 million from an investor and paying him 1 million a year from his own money, telling him that it's the profits and his 100 m is still there, while it wasn't.

Bitcoin isn't a ponzi scheme because there's nobody running it and taking the profits. It's simple economy running itself, but people used to a centralized system that doesn't give them full control can't understand it.

It's a good thing if you're a trader, an investor, a speculator. It's a bad thing if you're trying to run a business that buys ingredients for fiat and sells product for Bitcoins. You will have to convert every month to pay your employees and suppliers and a few months of a bear market can bankrupt you.

The governments aren't the holder types and even if they were to ask some bankers what to do the answer would be sell now before the bubble pops.
They will most likely put it on auction soon. I'd also expect raises for the agents who got the coins. The poor will get nothing


You can forget about it. Governments are there to benefit from your work not the other way round. No charity, get back to work!

So this is what this thread was all about. Bitcoin is garbage because BCH is the new king
This started as a complain and ended up as sucking off Roger Ver's shitcoin.


You can always afford Bitcoin, just not a whole one and doesn't affect your potential profits. You can still double your investment now just like you could do it when Bitcoin was worth half of what it is now.

That's possible as the current fees are limiting the use of Bitcoin to only high value transactions. It also becomes very costly and deterring for new investors to send transactions. If you're an old investor you have just made a fortune and you won't care if you have to pay $10 fee, but if you've just started to invest it may look like a huge disadvantage.
The best answer is to stop looking at the fees in USD and start in percents of the whole coin. Each time you send out a whole Bitcoin you will have to pay 0.1% fee and with greater amounts this % will be even smaller.

Red trust works quite well. If all DT members started tagging spammers it would at least eliminate those annoying "know no english but still write" dudes. This combined with frequent updates of SMAS would greatly reduce the spam. What could be expected is some campaign management will start to see free money in this as there will be a lot of red/smas tagged posters around that would be willing to write for a fraction of the normal rate. They'd start employing them with minimum wage, like slaves. Also, some of those spammers that wouldn't be able to join a campaign with their tagged account would turn to account farming and selling. It's much easier to hide spam if you're not wearing a signature and writing in the less watched boards like off-topic.

I agree. Trying to make people send you their stuff and making them wait for payments for weeks or months, because you can always say the items are waiting to be sold, only shows how unprofessional you are. That you have no money to start the business and are thinking people will just let you profit while taking all the risk.
It doesn't work like this. You start a business, you put up the money, you buy stuff from people and cover the shipment.

At least in Europe your house doesn't get raided and your computer confiscated if you don't. Sure you have to pay taxes and a stupid VAT, but I'd rather live here than in the US where the authorities can steal your stuff and put you in jail with murderers and rapists for selling Bitcoins.


Mining isn't taxed but income from it is. You don't have to report mining, unless you have a mining business and keeping books, but if you exchange the coins and get fiat you are supposed to pay income tax.

It's rare for a new member to become staff. Congratulations.
I can see that you guys are doing a lot of work in this section, it's starting to look much better and cleaner.


I have reported suspicious links in the past and they were always moderated, regardless of the section they were in. Phishing links, referrals and such are usually deleted pretty quickly.

I used to think of myself as an introvert but that was until I met some real introverts. I know a guy that lives his room only to get food from the kitchen. And his family is nice and would like to spend time with him but he prefers to sit alone the whole time. I always thought that being an introvert means you're scared of meeting other people and prefer to be alone than in a crowd, but some people are taking it to another level isolating themselves from their friends and family.

I think it's fair. You can't blame the country for a single incident like that but when it become something normal for the coaches to be getting drugs for the people whose health they should be taking care of it  goes against the ideas of sportsmanship and fair play. They got punished because everybody knew what they were doing, it wasn't a big secret, and they will serve as an example. Hopefully it will deter other countries from repeating this mistake.

The most common one is lack of proper education and job opportunities. If you are a poor kid and can't get free education and find someone who will give you a job you're screwed. It's easy to get education in a wealthy country and a job when the market is booming. In a poor country where everyone around you is in deep shit you simply get dirty and fall in like the rest of them.

You can be living in the most peaceful country in the world and still get robbed. Peace doesn't have much in common with crime. There's crime in every country in the world and even if in yours it's much less common it's still possible that you will find yourself on the receiving end of it. I've seen all those defensive device and they work only when somebody is coming at you with fists or a blunt weapon. Try to stop an attacker with a machete or a large knife by using a small taser or a pepper spray.

They're allowing you to make money only when they're making even more money on the rising value of Bitcoin and other coins that they're mining! In case of a bear market they won't let you profit. Instead they will use your money to keep themselves from going bankrupt, meaning that they'll still get a profit by scamming you. It's kill or be killed in this business.
