no, its a certainty that the US are grabbing data. but what is being discussed is with all of that data on millions of people. some people here think they are of such importance that governments are actually reading data concerning them.

the ego of some basement dwellers thinking they are more important then terrorists, murderers and rapists. truly amuses me

How do you figure?

Personally I agree with the poster, and people should not use the same email they put on a government form for personal issues (not that I follow that rule, but I can't fault it.)

Other than that, how many people that trade on cryptsy actually make enough money that they are going to be audited, let alone get to the point where your explanation isn't good enough and they start a criminal investigation, or whatever the fuck happens.   

A GPU (can) cost as little as $200 and earned more BTC than your $700 ASIC does.  The GPU era also showed greater decentralization and a greater ability for the average technically competent person to involve themself.

Did someone really just say that "Wall St. ($) was flooding in?" Wall St.? Chirp! Chirp! Crickets...and a few distant laughs! Not! Wall St. players invest with other peoples' money and if you think that they are going to start risking their careers and the financial lives of their clients for something as risky and new as BTC, you are insane. Way down the road, if BTC is still around and built out properly...maybe?!

It won't ever be terraformed or inhabited. It's not feasible or probably even possible at all.

Aii, good i didnt buy Cooler Master. Seems it only got 1 x PCI-e.
Heck, maybe I should just pay EUR 20 more for the corsair.

Having a jumbo mortgage, at London Interbank Offered Rate (plus 1%) with your head way above water, makes good sense. Tons of wealthy people have mortgages and put leverage to good use. I would bet dollars to dimes that the vast majority of people on the Forbes 400 have mortgages or wise debt in some form. I live next door to the biggest hockey star (worth 100 million, plus, plus!) in the world and he has two mortgages on one home. Mortgages are really one of the only ways that wealthy people can stay on the credit radar. It's important to have perfect credit when the right deals come calling. I'll give up four safe points any day of the week provided that my money is coming in at a much higher ROI. Have you ever heard of opportunity costs? Didn't think so. 

To anyone wondering why RT would be antsy to advance bitcoin, consider the fact that they have Max Keiser, the biggest loud mouth fraudster fake pump and dump dirt bag on the planet, in their midst. They're all likely heavily invested in BTC and wouldn't mind limiting the hemorrhaging.

Because most gold being sold is sold only on paper, bro. In next crisis or war theese papers will in some strange way disappear or for one or another reason become invalid contracts. Nationalization of gold is also not out of the question, considering it's happened during all major crisis previously. That means all centralbanks/IMF/Rothschilds controlled banks(Meaning 99% of all banks) holding theese papers or even the physical gold could be confiscated. Thus, they never even have to admit to selling gold they didn't have.
