From $900 all-time high price have fallen to $600. How deep do you think correction will go?
By my opinion it will be $500-600.

All right great, just making sure you weren't actually advocating for this to happen again Grin  I've met a fair share of people who see these systems and what they've accomplished and say, "but this time it'll be better!"  I once heard a guy say, "Stalin's death count isn't even that big, and besides all those people who died were rebels anyway."  That one really hit me in the nads.
I am not advocating, but I fear that the same could soon happen again in Europe - far-right parties gaining popularity, even Anders Breivik-supporting party got a lot of votes in the Norway recently!
Adolf Hitler came into the power with some support from the population, and his success was largely predetermined by Great Depression and big unemployment.

P.S. If I am right about technological unemployment problem I described in another topic AND no measures will be taken to mitigate this problem - rise of new totalitarian ideology is very probable/inevitable.

You're aware that Mao's system and leadership led to the deaths of tens of millions of his own people, yes?
It is obvious fact. As well as Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Pol Pot, Pinochet and other totalitarian dictators.

This is why capitalism always wins in the end - even a thousand Lenins, Stalins and Maduros will never change the human desire to seize opportunities to make money.
Don't be so confident, advancements in biotechnology and the government like under Mao Zedong or Pol Pot could make human desire for profit just as article in the history schoolbook Grin

Judging by your other thread, I'm not sure if you're serious Sad
May be I have mistaken mentioning Mao - I thought one-child policy in China and forced abortions, which in fact started in 1979, i.e. after Mao death.

I think 5-10K $ or € per BTC looks plausible.

It may, but I fear that loaf of bread could also cost $1M at this time.

That confirms my statement that police will fight for whoever pays their paycheck. It's just that in this example, their paycheck is being paid for by the tax paying rioters, who are pissed off at the broke, moneyless government.
I wanted to show that automation affects police as well as any other professions (in fact already affecting with cameras and recognition software) so they will understand what is going. The part of police staff who share left-leaning ideas will definitely support rioters no matter if they get paid to do opposite. Look at the revolutions in the past - many times some cops/soldiers turned to the opposite side just for idea, regardless they receive payments from the govt.
511  Economy / Economics / Re: Technological unemployment is (almost) here on: November 13, 2013, 09:42:53 PM
I missed this earlier. This is not true, because police forces, as well as private security forces, do not work for free, and will support whoever is paying their paychecks. In that scenario, it will be the people with the wealth, not the rioters who are rioting due to lack of it.
You must read more carefully - I wrote large part, not the police entirely. Of course there will be bastards who will shot rioters, but another part will support them. Looking here in Europe, I can give you some examples of police strikes against their own layoffs, wage cuts etc. It will be the same as in any other civil war - paying money doesn't means that people will fight on your side!
512  Economy / Speculation / Re: $500 before Christmas ? on: November 13, 2013, 07:56:33 PM
$800 at Christmas IMHO.
513  Economy / Economics / Re: Technological unemployment is (almost) here on: November 13, 2013, 07:10:01 PM
It is the only possible outcome. As I explained in my prior posts, the other two choices on the poll are not economically sustainable and thus they collapse into my outcome as you admit below.
Nay! I bet that >90% of the population will prefer to live in a country with some form of government control via economy (right-wingers will choose high taxes and unconditional income however more leftist countries will nationalize production means and switch to the planned economy) rather than Somali-like. You need to read comments on Reddit (there are many topics about this issue) to understand what solutions are more preferable for the MOST people (who in fact will decide either by voting, riots or civil war).

I have one peerbet voucher and I try to redeem after 24 hours but nothing happen is there any limit for this
Major update of the Peerbet website was made yesterday (with transition from PHP to MS ASP), so please ask its owner (Bit777) if some vouchers don't work.

Made few using inputs.io are they all gone ?

Anyway to recover those coins ?
Send me an e-mail or PM, I will change destination address.
515  Economy / Economics / Re: Technological unemployment is (almost) here on: November 12, 2013, 09:39:20 PM
I can't vote for the poll, because it doesn't include the choice, "Minanarchy where the unemployed have to retrain or live in poverty".
This scenario will never happen so I just don't think it is worth including.

Just imagine that these 45% of the population mentioned in this Oxford report really get unemployed after 20 years. When the people will start understanding what really is happening (i.e. governments around the world and its brainwashing will be unable to maintain "Luddite fallacy" myth) they will start so massive riots that never happened in the human history. These unemployed will clearly understand that they have nothing to lose therefore will fight to death. Also large part of police forces in many countries no doubt will support rioters (traffic and street cameras connected to image recognition software, drones already replacing many cops, so they also must fear about it).

As the result, some countries will turn to the non-capitalist economies, however other part will deepen into the full collapse and chaos. Even if you are strongly right-leaning, I don't think you will be happy to live in the country like Somalia.

Is dailybitcoins still able to transfer to peerbet after they switched to a new backend today? The payments page says prizes were paid, but they didn't show up in peerbet.
All payments to Peerbet accounts being processed as usual now!

and no, see what would the insensitive for the doctor to work faster, and it still takes about 15 minutes for a person to describe symptoms, basic checks and order tests, then come back again for results.
I said about analyzing diagnostic data, e.g. MRI or X-ray scans.
518  Economy / Economics / Re: Technological unemployment is (almost) here on: November 09, 2013, 09:58:37 PM
the actuators of the robots is no where near what we need to do many tasks.
But they just don't need. Moreover - most jobs today don't require hardware mechanisms entirely, only software.

"IBM Watson will definitely shrink number of doctors"

no that profession will get laws passed that the human is the one has the license to practice, and they are free to use the computer, so they will remain highly paid and employed just have much easier jobs.
As Watson could do all the job, even if the law will be passed requiring approval of the diagnosis from the human, this doctor will just sign the result paper produced by software thus replacing 1000s of the doctors working manually now.
