Even from Finland it doesn't look rosy... Things going downhill and we are "better off" than southern parts of EMU...
It's suprising how everything seems to be collapsing, but on other hand we haven't really fully run out of energy and such...

Be the first investing in a ponzi?
Ponzi and any other pyramid schemes you start are good way to make money. Not legal, but good

BTC is kinda like fiat, but it's limited.
I never got why gold would be so good, what is real worth of marginally useful metal...
Still, I don't believe BTC is final solution. I think we need something linked to energy. Only real currency that can exist...

So if the house is auctioned off for say $150,000 the private investor can keep the full amount of the money that was raised? And not pay back the surplus to this guy? That seems wrong to me. It must be very lucrative to be in this business then. Must be one very great nation where this sort of stuff happens... Is it in some third world country?

Remember. This website is not safe.
Bitcoin probably is.
Just check the certificate in address bar: The issuer: CN = GeoTrust Global CA O = GeoTrust Inc. C = US
Oh US... I wonder if NSA has the keys...
The web security isn't really a hard thing to crack. You have handful of authorities and if you get to them whole chain unravels... There is points of weakness and USA government has access to those...

Im not too savvy on all the crypto shit, but does this mean that Pretty Good Privacy isn't so good and private anymore?
its now going to be called kinda-ok privacy w. the acronym (KOP) lol. I'd say they won't touch pgp for the next 10ish years. hopefully. What they're capable of is https, SSL and VoIP, but that's obvious IMO I think PGP is itself still sound. But there is a big trust issues... Maybe it's time to find a new root authority and not involve it with USA in anyway...

Nokia has been involved in many fields.
Not really, investing in BTC would be waste... Better let investment banks do that stuff...

I just moved my minor holdings from XRP to BTC I hope it's worth it...

Currently I trust that fiat money is good for a few weeks or months at least. Which is more than BTC now

Does the currency matter for billionaires that is euro and dollar ones...
They should have relatively diverse assets for their own good so currency isn't really a big thing. If you are really rich, you are really rich no matter what currency is in use. Unless you only do bonds...

Dunno if this could lead to situation where in countries like Germany there would be large pools of rather inefficient, but cheap hardware which is only run when energy cost is low or zero...

You know that records from his previous job were also included makes the thing really scary... Maybe someone should do something about this..

Good is also subjective and relative term.
But cleary there is some basis of what is moral and how these rules are good for general working of society.
And these basis are rather smaller than what moral is now used for...

how much joule is an hour of programming? 0.0053~ seconds That is for daily energy consumption of programmer, with 8 hours of work. Then there is needed hardware, living space, training, upkeep cost and so on.

Is the tax a fee for those times when there is no sun as backup power must be kept operational?
I'm okay with wind and solar as long as people don't use electricity when there is no production. Or maybe they should force variable rates on those users...

We have a Pyramid human society struture , it's true. 99% people can't get to the top. A society with only hero's doesn't work. We need many people doing 'normal' labour Problem in my mind is that are we possibly yet in point where regular person or tad below average can get reasonable living for working 40 hours a week? And by reasonable, I mean sufficient nutrion, living space and healthcare without many very special luxuries. In my mind we should be there in west, with current productivity... Though somehow it just doesn't seem to work out...

Yes, celebrities and rich people never hire private protection because they do not work.
Rich have always hired private protection, got to have something to keep those slaves under control. But what about regular people?

Humans, I would get rid of those...

Really, though, the bank made the dumbest claim of the story. "one Bank of America branch claimed it had cost $6,000 to clean up the [water-soluble!] chalk writing."
That quote's presence is vandalizing my monitor, and I can't remove it without hiring a team of contractors to scroll for me.
So they had bankers doing some real work? I don't see any other way for that crazy rate for cleaning...
