I probably have some weird sense of humour but those leftist memes from the videos deserve to be funny. Sometimes the things are funny just because they are obviously retarded and the same quality community is also commenting and reposting all this garbage saying that it is something worthy.
Duno, maybe it is just a part of leftist culture that combined with the other communist stuff seems even more funny.
482  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You Can Now Shop With Bitcoin on Amazon Using Lightning on: April 23, 2019, 05:29:42 AM
Notice that Amazon is still not receiving Bitcoin so you can't say that you are really paying with BTC for something. The other thing is that sometimes such big companies provide anti crypto policy and ban all crypto related accounts. Just as PayPal, some other payment systems and some big banks do.
So we still have to see Amazon's official statement about this payment method.
483  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think should happen with @bitcoin handle on Twitter? on: April 22, 2019, 08:38:21 PM
Twitter leftist administration already been banning many people that had another opinions about different political and social questions. They did that in a polite manner but still got banned. I am not surprised that they want to make more  censorship on crypto related topics.
The other thing that Twitter is not doing well and their stocks are slowly going down. They are getting no profits and generally it seems that pretty soon it will become another myspace (if anyone ofc remember it).

I agree. However, you are missing something here. A big portion of human beings are negative minded who love spreading negativity through trolling, scamming, hacking etc which is why not everyone can equally respect each other due to differing view points.

Such people must understand that positivity always trumps negativity in the long run.
You will never get rid of scammers. That's how it work in real life and everything work the same way online.
In the internet people are willing to get a free speech but free speech is first of all a right to insult someone. Because expressing statements like "the sky is blue" got no risk of being arrested. That is why people are free to write some bullshit in the internet and there is nothing bad here.
485  Other / Off-topic / Re: What will happen to you when you wakeup and see Bitcoin is zero on: April 22, 2019, 07:55:13 PM
I am affred what i will do if it will happen
If you are not sure about the future of bitcoin then don't buy it. Just spend some more time on this forum and read some more information about cryptocurrencies. Then in some weeks you will learn to analyze and make your own opinion about cryptocurrencies.
But generally witcoin would worth zero only in case if all miners would turn off their equipment. If that won't happen then BTC won't fall less than 1$.
486  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: USDT news: is it for attack or defense? on: April 22, 2019, 07:45:20 PM

Cointelegraph believes that TRON has positioned itself as a competitor of Ethereum. Combining decentralized finance with the broader Internet ecosystem. The TRON indicates that the addition of Tether will enhance its existing Dapp ecosystem, enhance dex mobility and improve overall value.


This is great news for Tron holders. It can help holders and traders reduce the risk of market volatility since tether will be integrated in Tron blockchain. We might see tron moving taking places near ethereum, this will push ethereum to focus more on development. A healtht competition that can benefit the whole market.
If exchanges would start accepting PayPal or some other payment system that can be easily used and widely accepted foronline payments and can be withdrawed to your bank card almost instantly.
We already have the fiat system that doesn't force us to trust some shady 3rd parties like Bitfinex administration the emission of token. Reinventing the same thing is a pretty bad idea.
487  Other / Off-topic / Re: Respect is one of the most important thing in optimized community on: April 22, 2019, 07:34:50 PM
At the early stage of Bitcoin it was a marginal and unpopular currency. The community was small and consisted mostly of enthusiasts, that believe know pretty much about technical side of blockchain. So the community was small and homogeneous. But later, we've got many new people and most of them only came to get some fast and easy money. They know nothing about tech features of blockchain, they are coming from different social classes and probably are less educated than the first community.
The growing amount of users allowed to make more of such micro-communities that sometimes are not that friendly for the other people that are also sometimes retarded.
488  Economy / Speculation / Re: Tom Lee said Bitcoin Misery Index Never Been Reported in Bear Market on: April 22, 2019, 03:27:50 PM
Transaction activity does not determine Bitcoin price. People can send BTC to each other, buy some goods in shops or exchange it on p2p exchanges like localbitcoins that does not have their own rates and does not determine the BTC price. BTC doesn't have to rise in this case.
BMI is also not a public thing so we don't know how it is calculated and it may be either wrong or used in attempts to manipulate the market.
489  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Crypto Millionaires on: April 21, 2019, 06:54:38 PM
How come none of the exchanges are in that list? Like Binance or Coinbase CEOs? Brain Armstrong's (Coinbase CEO) net worth is $1.3 billion and Binance's CEO Changpeng Zhao is also worth about $2 billion. This list is incorrect.

Because its a list of the youngest... Zhao is 42
If you open the link in OP's post you will find that Winklevoss brothers and Daniel Larimer are 37 y.o. Honestly there is only Vitalik Buterin on this list who is under 30. Since what time 37 is considered as young? Anyway, this list is pretty doubtfull, there is much more ppl around the crypto world that have millions worth of BTC and altcoins.
490  Other / Politics & Society / Re: should gender groups like for example women also have their own state/country? on: April 21, 2019, 03:42:38 PM
Religious groups don't own any countries. All your examples are just states with some official religion. We can't say that catholics in Europe own Germany. First was the state and only then came religion.
The other social and political sights of people in good countries are represented by their polititians in parliament.  This is why parliament almost in every country is full of retards. But for example if LGBT community gets extremely popular in your town then you may easily get a transgender major. That can easily happen in todays Europe.
491  Economy / Economics / Re: Undervalued Bitcoin Will Be a ‘Multi-Trillion Dollar Asset Class,’ Says Analyst on: April 21, 2019, 10:06:43 AM
Bitcoin is just another asset for investments, just like any other fiat currency, stock or ETF but with its own shitty specific. That means that it should be analyzed by educated and smart professionals that do the same with those stocks, ETFs and currencies. All those crypto analysts are just a bunch of uneducated retards that keep telling that  BTC would keep growing just because it grew before.
Also, the same website on OP's link contain another article with an opinion of another well known crypto idion John McAfee that claims that BTC price would grow to 1$mln in 2020. That once again tells us that such resources are untrustworthy.
492  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What the future HODL? on: April 21, 2019, 08:39:34 AM
These days we are about to make a very important decision in which way the cryptosphere will walk through. A sudden rise of a corporate owned coin(s) coincident with a clear sign from the same big corporation how it will threat with the crypto. And for me crypto is equal to bitcoin by nature.
It has absolutely no effect on cryptocurrency market. Corporations are creating their own stablecoins that would have fixed exchange rate and woukd be used only inside a company that issued them.
Isnt it all that Satoshi was against to? Censorship, centralisation, absolute power in the hands of the big players (the banks from the ancient time)..
In the market someone would always have more money than you. Financial inequality is a natural thing, you won't replace it.

Unfortunately, there is a very small portion of the community that belongs to 'Do Not Trade Your Freedom' group. The majority doesn't care. Imagine this, Jack hears about bitcoins from his neighbor next door and keeps hearing things like bitcoin make people rich. Jack googles 'buy bitcoins' and he is convinced to buy it from coinbase or other 100 other shitty exchanges. All jack cares about is doubling his money.
Sure. And now imagina how many people would buy cryptocurrency if they had to pay extra fees for privacy and other shit without getting a profit. That number would show us true crypto enthusiasts.
493  Other / Politics & Society / Re: A message from the future with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on: April 21, 2019, 08:20:38 AM
Luckily, even some democrats joined republicans in order to reject GND vote in congress. I never thought I would say that but hopefully, the american political system reached its peak of idiocy and soon it might stop degrading and throw people like Ocasio-Cortez away from the political field until they get more power.
494  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Chinese Construction Company Turned Mining Firm Lost Over $23 Millions on: April 21, 2019, 07:50:34 AM
It seems like they entered the market on high price when mining equipment was also pretty expensive and got huge losses. But one thing is still unclear to me: for now, mining is still considered as profitable activity, especially with cheap chinese electricity. At least most mining farms continue their work for that reason. But those guys somehow also got losses during their activities. How is that possible?
495  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Southeast Asia’s Cryptocurrency Sector could be targeted by North Korea on: April 21, 2019, 07:41:28 AM
No one really knows who created WannaCry virus but for some reason many people are blaming NK for that, classic. I don't say that it is not true but there is no public evidence about this statement.
But there is a fact that NK have a small "hacker army" that it getting money from small hacks and even gold farming in online games. There is a good article about that on bloomberg: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-02-07/inside-kim-jong-un-s-hacker-army
496  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: South Korean Government Considers Relaxing Cryptocurrency Regulations on: April 21, 2019, 07:28:30 AM
I always believe that the future of the cryptocurrency depends on Asian countries' (China, South Korea, etc.) policies. With the new approaches on blockchain technologies eventually gain those countries trust.

For instance, even though they are trying to regulate cryptomining industry, China is still bullish on cryptocurrencies.

https://usethebitcoin.com/signs-that-china-is-bullish-on-cryptocurrency-future/
Then Bitcoin will remain a marginal currency with a huge volatility. Crypto market should become resilient to any kinds of FUD from dome chinease politicians to get any kind of adoption in the other countries. Realizing that words of some chinease retard may dump my BTC savings in a single day doesn't make common users enthusiastic about cryptocurrencies.
497  Other / Politics & Society / Re: 4/20 reform on: April 20, 2019, 10:38:12 PM
I have no idea what Andrew Yang's would offer in his programme but there is a point that many new and young people on political arena are saying a complete bullshit and adding some good and obvious ideas like this one. You can pretty often see a programme, that starts from light drugs decriminalization and ends up with some bullshit like putting solar batteries on top of every building in US.
Decriminalization of light drugs if obviously a good thing but it is far not the main point you should put your attention to.
498  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Keep religious beliefs personal to promote peaceful coexistence on: April 20, 2019, 06:10:27 PM
The solution is education.  If you educate the masses on how to be critical thinkers, it won't get rid of religion, but it will give people a better perspective with which to see their religion, extreme teachings within it, and view of others in other religions.  Basically education will turn people into OP.
American SJWs are taking a huge loans for their education but for some reason they keep trying to force their absolutely retarded ideology. I'm not sure that education would help in this case. Also there is a great quote for such cases: "Formal instruction does not cure foolishness; it arms it." -Nicolás Gómez Dávila.
499  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Keep religious beliefs personal to promote peaceful coexistence on: April 20, 2019, 12:04:24 PM

I am a Christian by believe but free-spirited by ideology I reside in a place predominantly occupied by Muslims but I have survived here by not enforcing my religious thoughts on others and share understanding.
Most time we don't choose our religion if I where to be born into a Muslim family I might probably be a Muslim so I don't have any right to take the life of someone born into a Muslim family.
That's how the general EU immigration policy looks like. Peacefull and free-spirited europeans are not enforcing anything and willing to accept muslim refugees, that are not so free-spirited and would be happy to enforce their way of life that is unacceptable for most europeans.

Most time we don't choose our religion if I where to be born into a Muslim family I might probably be a Muslim so I don't have any right to take the life of someone born into a Muslim family.
Then you would probably have another mindset rather than any other people have. And in this case, why should we welcome those people if their traditions are unacceptable in our culture?

What things you want to remove from current political system? All major problems that we have did not come because of centralization.

Is Humanity at risk of Tribalism and is cryptocurrency a viable solution? 
Cryptocurrency is a currency / payment system / commodity or however you wanna call it. But that changes did you want to achieve by using another currency? With the same threat to modern monetary system you can start buying another fiat currency (like indian rupi) while leaving in UK. Blockchain did not provice any super new solution.
Any governmental changes due to the blockchain are also less likely to happen. For example in US we see a huge bureaucratic machine in charge of the country, it will not replace itself just because there is such thing like blockchain.
