Even though we don't fully know if this action has been confirmed like the action before against using chemical weapons against children, which were their own people which is beyond horrid to see. Now lets just go on a limb here and say your sources are correct, I think this is going to mark the end of the Assad regime and they should be removed from power at this point.

You can't allow someone to commit such atrocities against their own people and just get away with it, I think Trump took a stand against this when he fired the 59 tomahawk missles at the Syrian air base but that was just a start. If more problems arise out of Syria with them using horrid banned weapons against their own people they should all be shot and killed.

Let me repeat. Warring sides use unconventional weapons such as biological and chemical agents, as a last resort. Most of the times, they use them to temporarily postpone the surrender. That makes it very unlikely that Assad is behind the attacks. Because he is having the upper hand on the war field for the past many months.

I still have to follow you here and think it's fishy that Assad would be using chemical weapons at the tail end of not actually doing that bad in his own civil war.

You all talk like that because I used to live in a normal society. Koreans born and living in the Kingdom of crooked mirrors. For them this lifestyle is the norm. They truly believe in what you hear from birth. Propaganda is a terrible weapon.

Yep, agree. So let's not spread the use of this terrible weapon.

This country is corrupt and a humanitarian crisis. The only thing that worries me about a western invasion and intervention is the psycho Un could shoot off Nuclear missiles. I know they say he doesn't have any yet, but you never know.

It should be easy enough to arrange an elite special ops mission to capture or knock the guy off!

All of this propaganda that has come out of NK and it's pretty horrid having to hear about what some of this people have to hear about and actually believe on the daily. Even if NK has a Nuclear Warhead, I think the US probably knows about it but it's going to take action in having it destroyed unless the North Koreans attempt to pull some shit on them with firing it at us.

It'd be pretty dumb to shoot that at us though, we'd blow it up in the sky and then remove the entire regime from power.

They're using it as a scare tactic with a country that has thousands of Nukes and could just detach NK from the entire world if we really wanted to.

FUCK A NORTH KOREAN COMMUNIST REGIME

Just like alcohol, marijuana is a substance which should be consumed in moderation. But in your case, you were a very heavy user. You were taking marijuana every day, and that too for more than a decade. But don't give up. Marijuana is not as addictive as the hard drugs. It is relatively easy to shrug off the addiction. Just stay strong!

I wouldn't say it's something that's easy to go ahead and shrug off and it'll be done, I'd consider it has to have some sort of emotional hold on him a as a whole just like any other drug would have. Even though people say this is one of the drugs that someone can get off of rather easy, I personally don't think it can be done if you're using it for such a long period of time like he did here.


It's going to take some time to get off of it, but maybe try other activities to attempt to ease the pain. You can try those vaping related activities even if you're not into it it could slowly ease you out of the smoking habit everyday.

Keep taking salt baths and running buds, I guess that's all I can say Wishing ya good luck too!
4244  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does any bank accept Bitcoin? on: April 10, 2017, 08:36:49 PM
Wouldn't really make sense for a bank to accept Bitcoin unless they see a reason that they'd be losing out on a lot of potential revenue due to not accepting it. Like, lets just say that a lot of people wanted to pay their interest on a loan for some sort of item in Bitcoin I highly doubt they'd be caring (if the customer paid the fee both ways) and they'd be doing fine with this sort of system.

Though, a bank wouldn't be accepting Bitcoin as a way to deposit / withdraw as it wouldn't have any sort of gain for them in the least.

I think it take a long process, we all know that all the bank transactions supervised by the Government, bitcoin is anonymous so anyone who trades with bitcoin surely must get government approval.

This too, as the banks are going to be highly regulated by the Government who has a vested interest in not allowing Bitcoin to thrive. The governments are going to be the people who ensure that Bitcoin isn't accepted and furthered by people.

So no, no real national / regulated bank is accepting Bitcoin nor will they probably in the near future.
4245  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: AsicBoost Probably the reason Segwit is being blocked. on: April 10, 2017, 07:58:46 PM
It's horrid to have to think that someone who says they support the Bitcoin community, in this case Jihan is the same person who is just blocking the best solution out their based on the pure motive of greed and eyes of profits. I do understand it though, as money is usually the motive for many decisions being made when it comes to big decisions in the world.

This would also be the reason that they'd be losing around 30 percent in the leg up they have on everybody else so I guess that would mean 30 percent less profit and such?

Segwit does have its own problems but I really see it as the only viable solution that would really be following what Satoshi would've wanted. As I do highly doubt Satoshi would've wanted a centralized system run by King Ver.
4246  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Okcoin and Huobi extends suspension of bitcoin withdrawal until on: April 10, 2017, 06:41:50 PM
I find it as a good decision, we don't want for the Chinese whales to take control again and start manipulating the market, at least not with the ETF decision coming soon.

I think we were able to see that Bitcoin wasn't really changed by the removal of the Chinese whales from being able to move the market as we did see some drastic moves but we seem to have stablized now as the hard-fork isn't as near or as publicized and near as it was before.

Who cares about them? Most of the Chinese traders have been moving away from these regulated exchanges and are doing "private" trades now.

This is what is going to happen now.... Chinese government force people to go underground and to use black markets and the same will happen

in other countries when they over regulate Bitcoin. Yes, consumers need protection.... but something is off in the way the Chinese are doing this.

Yeah, China is going to be hurting themselves by putting these stringent regulations on Buying and such as they're just going to lead these people to just go through more loops and to just not follow the will of the government to get what they want.

So, if the Chinese government really wants to get smart about this and to stop the black market usage is that they could just go ahead and tax the companies and not the individuals or something. I know many of you will think it's a horrid idea none the less but this is coming from a communist country so yeah.

4247  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which country backs "Bitcoin" as currency? on: April 10, 2017, 03:59:37 PM
No country is going to back it in the least but some may allow for the technology behind it (the blockchain) to be able to thrive as this can be used in many government things, banking, etc and so on. Biotcoin is going to be in a direct fight to the norms when it comes to government and is going to cause problems as the National Government (of any gov) is going to want control over all of the usage of money in their country.

Bitcoin isn't going to be able to be controlled so the government(s) are going to put regulations on it to be able to limit the usage of it or just deter the usage in general.

I think it's sad that the government would be doing this but I do understand that they would rather control all so this is just a waste for them.
4248  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When will you start accepting Bitcoin in your store and boost your sales? on: April 10, 2017, 03:04:25 PM
Most business aren't going to use Bitcoin based on the fact that they're not educated on how everything works and like anything else in the world the people are going to be skeptical to change and to be using something so drastic and new in general. It's not like people to respond to change so quickly and they're going to have to be shown a bit of a nudge for people to be able to think of accepting an entire new currency.

Where did you got this 15% incrase in sales ? I am curcious.. I have see business owners started to accept Bitcoin and it doesn't represent more than 1% of theirs sales and for some 0% ! I remember a restaurant accepting bitcoin and when i wanted to pay they guy was not even to remember where he kept his adress, he said i was the first to ask paying the note with bitcoin

Yeah, this is something cool and such for people to be able to accept at first but it really doesn't hold much ground as people don't really use Bitcoin in their everyday lives. They're going to have to use Bitpay or one of those easy to use processors.

It's a pretty drastic change for a business to make so people have to be educated beforehand.



4249  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin be used to support terrorists? on: April 10, 2017, 02:18:28 PM
This pretty much follows the same sort of narrative that the MainStream Media tries to peg onto Bitcoin, which is that Bitcoin is only used by shady people on the internet to buy drugs and such. We all know this just isn't true in the least and that that's a small portion of all the Bitcoin usage which we see today.

Bitcoin could be used by Terrorists, though it does seem to have to many issues to be able to used without an issue. As if they actually wanted to use the money they'd have to go through exchanges and such which would just be a hassle for them when they could just use cold hard cash.

This is the same narrative we could use for cash "OH MY GOD IT'S BEING USED BY TERRORISTS, DRUG DEALERS, OTHER CRIMINALS, AND SO ON"
4250  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The Scottish Parliament voted for the new referendum on independence on: March 28, 2017, 09:28:10 PM
ENJOY YOUR DUMB ASS MUSLIM PEOPLE..They are dumb people they believe in winged horses ..

I lived in the most densely Muslim area of Glasgow for quite a while. It was absolutely fine and they were all perfectly pleasant people.

But even if Scotland did manage to go independent, getting into the EU would be a massive task and actually making a success of it would be even more improbable. I think they're stuck with the rest of the UK no matter what.

Yeah, as we know getting into the EU is something that is going to take a disgusting amount of time for them to do if they really go ahead and get independence to. Though it is something to think about that they're going to hold this referendum on independence after the Brexit process is complete and I think that was and is supposed to take around 2-3 years in order to be completed.

Scotland isn't going to join the EU there is already a long waiting list for shitty globalists who'd like to join this organization and they're not going to go to the top of the list / line due to them making the news about a possible independence vote in 2-3 years.

RIP SCOTLAND - GLOBALISTS SCUM

Yet again, when you're going to make a claim like this it'd be nice to see it from some sort of source that isn't as bullshit as this weird Wordpress site that you found on here. Two of my favorite sources of information for worldnews - a fucking .wordpress site and a .blogspot site.

Like, if you'd even like to be taken a tad more seriously on the authenticity of the claim here you could have at least bought a domain, how much are those these days like $10, maybe even $3 if you buy a shitty one.

4252  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is a war against china the only option? on: March 28, 2017, 06:08:55 PM
Not going to be worth it in the least for the Western Powers, some may say the economy of China is ever growing and is going to amass to be something much bigger than the West could ever imagine. This is not something that I fully believe is true as people in China / government officials are just inflating the numbers of growth in order to make themselves look better.

A war between the US and China would really just be a complete destruction of all of China within weeks (days if we're feeling like Atomic bomb time) and even comparing non Atomic weapons to the US is also such a joke to even look at. China, alongside Russia are countries that have outdated military goods and wouldn't be able to stand up to the technology of the United States.

Not the only option though and really shouldn't even be an option due to the sheer devastation the west / US would cause to China.
4253  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Save the planet or not on: March 28, 2017, 03:54:46 AM
I think corporations should fix the problems of global warming, Their factories and products are the very things that causes Pollution which  harm to the ozone layer and thus causing global warming, The earth is getting hotter and hotter each passing year. The Big corporation should help fix it.

The problem is which I've said multiple times is that people and corporations don't want to address these issues for a multitude of reasons. One of them being that they'd rather just shift it down to the next generation or the next few generations of people as they won't have to face any issues relating to the planet now as the people who commited these acts against the earth will be long dead.

Another thing is that profit and greed drives these peoples, so if they don't need to spend money on saving the planet (regulations) they won't do it to ensure that their bottom line is higher then it normally is. It's really simple what business want, more and more money.

So, we should do it but I highly doubt people will.
4254  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Precious metals are not useful in a collapse scenario! on: March 28, 2017, 03:18:40 AM
In the event of a global collapse scenario, the only thing that will be useful is food and water, Oil will be very useful as well. A system of barter trade will come up again. Precious Metals such as gold or silver will not be useful at all.

Yeah, people always go on the assumption that just because gold and silver was used as a curreny long ago it will once again take over to be used. This is just one of the main lies that the precious metal companies spread in order to get people to buy gold / other metals in the hopes that they think they're going to be betting against the system by buying the metal.

Bartering will be vital and we may see some sort of item being above all, maybe Oil? I highly doubt Bitcoin would do it as it needs an insane amount of civilization and infrasture in order to survive and thrive. Who's going to be powering those mining farms when people are starving?

4255  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BU started/starting? on: March 28, 2017, 01:56:30 AM
BU alredy endede. No reason for them to fork as they be alt not real BTC like they wanted. Also they can fork at any time, not that they need to be over 51% of Hash

They can fork at any time, but that would make it pointless.
The hard fork will be triggered only when they have substantially over 50% of the hash rate. (Although some miners may be tempted to trigger it as soon as they cross 50%). What the hash rate really tells us is the support they have amongst the miners for increasing block size. This should be a wake up call for Bitcoin Core as well.

I dont think bitcoin unlimited is supported by all the bitcoins miners. Its only the few miners who would like to increase the block size on the expense of bitcoin core. Lets see where it turns up now.

Wouldn't really go ahead and say that they're only the "few miners who would like to increase the block size" as they do have a pretty high amount of miners on their side, I think its in the realm of 34-37 percent of miners backing them when they only need to get up to 51 percent in order to initate a hard fork of the chain.

I highly doubt this would happen though, as they'd want to make sure that nothing could stop them and they'd probably want around the mark of 70 percent so even if some miners leave they still have a good amount of control.

BU alredy endede. No reason for them to fork as they be alt not real BTC like they wanted. Also they can fork at any time, not that they need to be over 51% of Hash

They could fork at anytime, though it wouldn't really do anything if they're below 51 percent as they wouldn't have a hash majority.
4256  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are the U.S. and Russia / Eastern Europe still enemies? on: March 28, 2017, 01:11:50 AM
I'd still think that they're some sort of enemies due to the simple thing of the past tensions between the two nations (US and Russia) when the cold-war was occuring. This is the reason for a lot of the tension we see today when you're attempting to show why these two countries seem to hate each-other and do things to spite each-other.

We still today more or less follow the policy of trying to beat the Russians in anyway possible, thought this isn't held as dear as in the Cold-War when beating the Russians was something that the whole country had held dear to their hearts. But, I feel that the US does seem to beat the Russians in tons of ways these days and economies are things that can't even be compared due to Russia having sucha a small economy when it's being compared to the global Superpower of the United States.

I wouldn't call them enemies. I don't think they were ever enemies.. Just rivals. Like any emerging economy will be a rival to the US.



Calling them Rivals sounds better too.
4257  Economy / Economics / Re: Want to Be a Millionaire? Two Main Rules of Bitcoin Investing on: March 28, 2017, 12:21:49 AM
This is something which I've always said is the problem with people that invest in bitcoin now, they only see it as a trading opportunity as the bitcoin price is very volatile (fluctuates heavily) and they think they should be able to make some money off of it. If people keep thinking this, it's just going to fuck up Bitcoin more and more as it's just going to keep getting more volatile and the people that actually use it are going to suffer.

Plus, this article is just bullshit as the person who invested just got lucky being an early adopter. It's like me saying that you should invest in Apple because I bought the stock when it first started and made a killing, See it doesn't make sense in the least.

GOSH, if you're going to post an article at least make sure it's not going to waste users' time.
4258  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: 1 btc with telegram mining on: March 27, 2017, 11:32:11 PM
Even with proof this could just be someone attempting to get people to join in on his HYIP in order to make people think it's not a scam, then bam everyone is out of money and the person that made it is reaping in a ton more. It's probably going to end up working like any Ponzi where the people running it are only going to pay out with new investors "investments" and then run off when they can't keep the scam going anymore and they've made enough.

Why dont you show us the transaction ID post it here if you are saying the truth. Because anyone can write that
"I received the payment" lol without posting transaction ID.
Post it on OP instead.   Wink


Though the TX is in one of the pictures, it'd just be a bitch in order to type out.

4259  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC vs BTU will lead to Ethereum dominance. on: March 27, 2017, 10:22:53 PM
This is just something that is being spread from the big holders of ETH in an attempt for them to pull money out of their investment because of the current problems the bitcoin community is having relating to picking a scaling solution. I highly doubt people would actually switch from Bitcoin to ETH as it's just not the same and ETH is only used for investments at the moment.

I don't think I've seen people accepting ETH as a form of payment or anything? It's just people using it because they think down the line it will be worth more, Bitcoin has a portion of it where people are using it in order to trade but I highly doubt it's even close to ETH.

Bitcoin won't lose out to these alts, as we know and say they're alternate cryptos.
4260  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Am I missing something or is BTU at 45% of the network hash on: March 27, 2017, 09:38:27 PM
Yeah the variance is pretty disgusting as BU miners seem to be getting a lot of luck when it comes to who is mining the blocks these days, maybe we'll see a shift to Segwit and then back and forth and so on.

This is the site I use to watch all of this - https://coin.dance/blocks

It shows that around 38 percent of the miners support BU but it ends up that 45 percent of the blocks today have been mined by them, so it's really pure luck and variance.


We're being forced into PoW change. The sooner everyone admits this, the sooner we can move on, and with Bitcoin as undamaged as possible, preferably.


Well if you do PoW change at least make it GPU friendly so CPU botnets won't take over.

Wouldn't want such a drastic change like this, it would kill most of the ASIC miners who have puts tons of money into investments. Probably would lead to some legal trouble too - didn't a mining company threaten that already?
