Aww. Those guys are our fellow peers. A lot of people bought bitcoin without understanding what it is. Let's help them to develop a better strategy for using bitcoin. Remind them that it is not an investment, it's money.  we don't need to make fun of them. Even the ones who were a dick about things.

Very misleading title in the story.  They found life from Earth. And it does not even say the the surface plankton they found were alive. It's a cool observation, but it is in no way extra-terrestrial life. As far as I know, only tardigrades have survived a visit into space.

Wow, I was a ponzi and didn't know it! I must be Berni frickin Madoff. lol

No, I don't think you know how a ponzi works or you would understand the silliness of an open source ponzi.

Wouldn't be nice if one could just ask this question and get the correct answer?  You will have to do your own homework and take the risk you feel comfortable with.

As 'whatever' moved over the 'deep'.. then he 'said' "let there be light" - according to one book..

This denotes something moved over that which was deep. Who created the depth?

More importantly, how did 'whomever', 'SPEAK'?

Who or 'WHAT' heard his commands?

Who or What granted his wish's?

The foundation for getting a clear picture of this, has to do with understanding sound, and the nature of the universe. And the start of such understanding might be through what is written below.

All vibration is sound. Radio waves, and light waves, are sound. How can this be? It has to do with the universe being way more complex that anyone has dreamed.

Keep in mind parallel universes, side by side, in the MEGA-universe. Also, keep in mind that the words being used are so that the layman can get a picture. They are not for technical mathematics.

"Space" is an elastic solid. It is home for, possibly, an infinite number of "parallel universes, side by side," each one operating with its own "universal" vibration.

When you move something physical through a section of space, like waving your hand in the air, the individual sub-atomic particles that make up the individual atoms of your hand, are broken down and reassembled across multitudes of universes, causing reactions in all these universes. The actual sub-atomic particles are points - think of eddies in a pond, created by two or more waves crossing over each other - where the various parallel universes "touch" momentarily, all of this acting according to UNTOLD MULTITUDES of EXTREMELY COMPLEX universal laws.

Such things as light, sub-atomic particles that move through space, electromagnetic waves, are all simpler forms, similar to the complex ones listed in the previous paragraph. ALL vibrations through space - because space is an elastic solid - are, therefore, sound.

When you have a Being that is essentially, in His nature, from "outside of" our mega-universe (whatever that means), and One Who has the ability to cause vibrations in the "space" of our universe that might be compared with vibrations that people speak through the air - although the vibrations through the air are many magnitudes less complex than speaking through the elastic solid of space - you can start to see how the things of the universe were spoken into existence, as written in the first chapter of the Bible.

Smiley

Where's that 'like' button? Excellent description of the waves of vibration Wink
Except that it is incorrect.  I don't know where one would ever get the idea that electromagnetic energy is a form of sound?

It makes sense that someday another "better" coin could come. Speaking for myself, I would not even consider using another system unless it....

this mean that there is a chance that bitcoin die, and that the price now can fall to 0 or something
I would guess that in 500 years there will be no bitcoin. But for all I know it could be the worlds standard currency.

Than maybe Monero ?
I don't know what that is? It would have to become more accepted than bitcoin.
4808  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What have you been doing with your Bitcoin in light of the price drop? on: August 20, 2014, 02:13:59 PM
Buying and spending. Just like when the price is up.  Wink
When it's down I do a little more buying than spending. When the price rises I do a bit more spending. Basically everything I buy, I buy at a discount.
I would hope that the drop in price would somewhat encourage people to spend some of their coins. I think one problem that the bitcoin related economy has is the fact that there are too many people hording coins. I would argue that this is preventing merchant adoption from expanding faster then it is because even though accepting bitcoin is very cost efficient, less people spend it then there really should be.

Holyshit, the stupidity coming out of your mouth.

Spending btc is just like selling btc on the exchange because all merchants are using gateways such as bitpay or coinbase. If the price drops, that means theres MORE selling than buying.


I think your forgetting that bitcoin is a currency and was invented to be spent. It was not invented to make you rich. Indeed, if people are not spending bitcoin then it's days are numbered as it would be nothing more than video game credits.

1. Is open source.
2. Is a distributed, decentralized network.
3. Has no pre-mine option.
4. Has an unchangeable and limited supply.
5. Is accepted more widely than bitcoin. 
6. Is based on stronger encryption than bitcoin.

That's because in other parts of the world we don't use unnecessary amounts of drugs on people claiming they have mental problems.

You cant tell me that every single kill from the 10k+ a year that dies in the US is a psycho on drugs.

If you want to own a gun.. A 9mm pistol then you should have military training to be able to own it.

There is no reason to own a rifle if you arent a hunter.
Certainly psycho killers are a very rare phenomena. Most gun deaths are perpetrated by sane criminals, and mostly to kill other professional criminals. However, I do not see the logic in your idea about who should be able to own a gun. Why should military training be part of the equation? Such training is training to locate and kill the enemy without the burden of laws or thinking. The military trains you to shoot to kill as soon as you see the right shape silhouette. After WW2 the training was perfected until they could get about 80% of soldiers to instinctively shoot before the gravity of their actions sets in. (up from the normal %20). Such training is wholly inappropriate for civilian defense an police work. A better idea would be a required de-programing for anyone who has had military training.

I also don't get why you make an exception for hunting? Why do I have to kill something or be a trained professional killer before I can own a gun?

I wonder if they just send that message to everyone they know is selling BTC? Until they find a mark, of course.

4814  Economy / Economics / Re: Am I wrong to think Bitcoin whales should be ashamed of themselves? on: August 19, 2014, 07:56:56 PM
They did more, now they have more. Why should they be ashamed?


What they did was being lucky (right place right time.) Effort isn't in direct correlation with being a Bitcoin millonaire by any means, let's be honest for a second there. This doesn't really mean they do not deserve this. In economic schemes the ones that are there first get most of the cake, unfortunately this will always be like this as long as currencies are needed for societies to function.

But it is important to note that the people who were here, in say 2011, were not rich that was not a "thing" in the world of bitcoin. All this nonsense about "investors" came later. Many of us did not give a crap about money. This was about securing our financial rights and opening opportunities outside of traditional banking.
For me it still is. I do not want dollar, and I do nothing to get more dollars. I want bitcoin so I can buy stuff with bitcoin. Now that's just me, others may want to use bitcoin to get more fiat.  

Back then we were laughed at for spending $500 to buy 500BTC. Now people say how unfair it is that we did it. The same may happen to you if bitcoin reaches $10K.

Have 65$ USD on Paypal, I need Btc
I can give you 0.12 for your 65$ in paypal if you ready then post here reply or send me pm waiting for your reply

Don't you think it's a bit risky buying with paypal? You can get chargebacked any time for like months. I wouldnt sell with PP unless the buyer was very trusted.
If you send it as a gift? You can reverse it?
The problem is that any use of PayPal for bitcoin is prohibited by their TOS. Not only will they not help you, they may lock your account and hold your money for months. This happens all the time.
4816  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dead Bitcoins on: August 19, 2014, 05:21:37 PM
A more accurate question would be how many bitcoins are in circulation. Because that is what really affects the price, isn't it?
That's a good point. Coins that are horded are like lost coins, in that they are unavailable for trade.

Like, but not the same. These can, and likely will, renter circulation given the right price.
Certainly true. I think our current crash is shaking out a lot of these coins now. When there is no one left but perma-hoarders, I believe a climb is in order.

The statistics on gun deaths in Europe are not really different than in the U.S. We do have a lot of shootings every year, but in Europe the whole continent kills each other off every once and a while. Mostly unarmed people are rounded up and executed in the millions. That is supposed to be a better system? It would could not happen that way here.
Well, they won't try that on the Swiss, either.

Odd (not REALLY) how Europeans would like to talk us into disarming the citizens of the US.  But they never say that about the Swiss.
Yeah. And the Swiss seem to always avoid the wars. When I was in Croatia during the civil war the Serbs were slaughtering the Croats. Once the guns arrived for the Croats the fighting ground to a near halt.  It is more dangerous when only one side is armed, IMO.

I read the title and I thought you enlisted.  Cheesy

The bitcoin foundation should start financing a bitcoin army. Perhaps you can bring it up at your next meeting?
That's a good idea. Currently we farm it out to Al-Qaeda.  Grin

I would have guessed IDF considering you have Ploshay on board
