Actually it's OK to have 100% state-owned heavy industry sector while keeping private ownership for light industry, agriculture, house holding, etc. This system worked well until it was abolished by Stalin's decree in 1928.

To $465? Lol

When were they independent? They were service a nasty local dictator (who actually was a Putin puppet btw.)

MintCoin has been maintained for a long time at low prices.Is there any hope to rise?

I really don't get it.

When it comes to people getting drunk or car pics or pics of their girlfriend everyone takes some crystal clear photos (even if in motion).

When it comes to important things , witnesses etc , you get some blurry pics or videos.

Stalinist, please stop quoting Pagan. We have him on ignore.

But since he mentioned it, what he is referring to is today's military drills to repel possible nuclear attack.

It's a demonstration of what Russian rocket shield can do against NATO rockets stationed in Eastern Europe.

And on this note.
Russia holds drills by running simulations on its territory.
USA holds drills by attacking other sovereign countries.

prominent businessman." In that same speech, Biden said "Democracy and free markets work best when they deliver what people most want."

Sure enough, Jaguars and Porsches are probably what some people "most want." Now thanks to U.S. taxpayer backing, some Ukrainians have them!

Which part is "commie propaganda" exactly? Milk? Dude you got MILK, i mean fresh milk, that is why it was brought to you in the morning. Today you can by no milk at all, just some white colored substance that tastes a bit like a milk bit is not milk. And its utter lie that you could had only 1L of it. In fact fresh milk in USSR was given for free to pregnant and lactating women at special milk shops.
You have free education didn`t you? And guaranteed employment after.
Your house was given to you for free, no loans, no decades of savings to buy it.
You had free medical services, my mother for example had laser eye surgery in 1983, my uncle had femoral neck prothesis for free in 1987, grandmother had 3 kidney surgeries and 1 heart surgery for free, even dentists was all free.
You had vacation services, i`m sure if you grew up in some "commie country" you had it. In USSR of 1986 alone over 18 million children visited resort for no payments from their parents and so on. Heat was everywhere always, same as hot and cold water. Of cource there could be some emergency accidents but they are everywhere. Simple demographics of so called "ex-communist" countries in last 100 years proves my points.

I really wonder do you even know the definition of Communism in the first place, let alone Socialism?

Mercenary with US citizenship, John Christensen is detained in Slavyansk by the Donetsk People's Army:

Just for some perspective, let's compare the Maidan Protests to the Pro-Russian separatist protests.

	Maidan	Pro-Russian Protests
Goals	To free the country from a dictator-like corrupt government, and to integrate with the much more democratic countries of Europe, while maintaining government independence.	Full or partial occupation of their own country by a foreign, dictatorial, corrupt regime, and be swallowed up by an antidemocratic country with a total loss of their region's independence
Methods	During the course of the first months, strict non-violence, despite the use of force, even to the point of torture and killings, by the ruling force. Only after the ruling party broke promises on multiple occasions, and continued to use violent force against the protesters, did the protesters became violent themselves. Still, their main weapons were sticks and molotov cocktails. Firearms were almost entirely absent. Treatment of captured prisoners, though strict, was still mostly fair.	Use of violence from the very beginning, including capture of administrative buildings, law enforcement offices, military facilities, seizure of military weaponry (including machine guns and grenade launchers), and distribution of weapons to supporters. Murder, torture, violent beatings of unarmed protesters, capture of hostages, use of women and children as human shields, and abuse of captured prisoners.
The role of foreign allied countries	Verbal support - much later economic sanctions. Everything is done in the open.	Strategic and violent. Military occupation and annexation of Crimea using the already available and moved-in foreign troops, capture of buildings and objectives by foreign special forces, sending spies and saboteurs deeper into the country, and concentration of troops on the borders. All this done while hypocritically denying supplies to the rebels and army intelligence services of the country they claim to support.
National Ideology	Unity of the Ukrainian nation, including all ethnic groups and regions of Ukraine; absence of hatred and ethnic discrimination.	Splitting the nation and the state, hatred of all things Ukrainian, European, and American. Russian fascism and anti-Semitism.
The Language Issue	Official government language is Ukrainian, but no one objects to speaking in Russian. Russian language was frequently heard on Maidan. There is not a single case of abuse or violence against someone, just because they are speaking Russian.	Hatred and contempt for the Ukrainian language, lack of recognition of it as a "real language," unwillingness to hear or learn any language other than Russian.
Organization	Self-organization from below; official policies more hurt than help; proven that massive cases of payoffs by special interests were not happening.	Protests inspired by a foreign state; bystanders playing the role of pawns, extras, or human shields, governed by coordinators and fighters sent from abroad. There are numerous cases of people being paid off to act (although there are plenty of actors working for ideological reasons)
Support of the population (based on surveys)	More than half of the whole country.	12% in the wole countr. Maximum support of 33% in Donetsk oblast, and 41% in Crimea (when questioned before the current occupation).
Intellectual, cultural, and creative level	In general, high. On Maidan there was its own library, art exhibitions, lecture readings, comedy skits, musicians, poets, etc. Hig creativity, with many ingenious slogans and posters, and ingenuity in combat conditions (catapults and fire barricades).	In general, low. Zero creativity, no own ideas, barricade tactics copied from Maidan. Many participants apparently with a criminal past.
Atmosphere	In general positive and polite, often even in relation to opponents.	Generally vicious and aggressive, with constant cursing, threats, and physical aggression.
Behavior in captured buildings	Maintaining order, attempt to minimize possible damage.	Vandalism and looting; piles of garbage.
Alcohol	Prohibited.	Actively used. Also cases of drug use.
Propaganda	Mostly truthful, except for the inevitable in a revolutionary situation, with regards to unverified rumors.	Almost entirely false, with the lies generated with all the might of a foreign state propaganda machine.
Attitude towards Soviet regime	Negative.	Positive.

in Odessa all was the beginning as pro-Russian separatist opened fire on the city streets in the Ukrainian people

Marketing is the absolutely last thing bitcoin needs. 

Who is going to look at a market that is almost entirely speculation, and say "you know what this needs?  MORE HYPE!"

Bitcoin is so far behind where people expect it to get to, there's no need for it to get further behind by raising more people's expectations.

I believe bitcoin will eventually deliver, but with things like Trezor being delayed indefinitely, it's not going to happen tomorrow.

Of course. Can you read in russisch?

It's cheap ruSSian lie. The same pattern as about my country.

After the heavy fighting around Slavyansk, this bloody day may be the day when the war starts. Or -hopefully- a final wake up call to all sides to stop with this madness, put their weapons aside and start talking. Seriously.

What? Are they going to bomb the government buildings? If something like that happens, then Putin will be forced to send his troops to teh Donbass, even if he doesn't wants to do that.

The EU / US media is propping up the name of Yulia Tymoshenko, as she is more loyal to the NATO than anyone else.
