If those were sacred statues, I doubt they would be used just to signal if a place was "cro-magnon" or neanderthal.
Probably, that was important, especially if we accept the belligerent hypotheses about the relations between the two species (or branches of the same, since they could have descendents), but they were so different in appearance that they could be easily identified...

Even if they were not sacred, these statues could be too much important to just leave them in the open of a cave as a symbol of modern humans. In that way, they could be easily stolen.

But, who knows, you might be right.
Very good points. It bumms me out that we may never know. But it sure is fun to think about. What an adventure they had, meeting other types of humans. Crazy stuff.

These things have been thought about for a long time now. They are good questions to ask, but if you look you will find some thoughtful answers that may assuage your fears.

I believe in bitcoin because it is the fastest, safest, and cheapest way to pay anyone anywhere. That is huge!

We just voted. There will now be 22million BTC. Also we voted to change the name to "electric carrots" or ELC.

Loads and loads of people from across the globe are immigrating to America for different purposes.. Their aims and purposes are getting fulfilled but America is actually getting destroyed..
Some adverse affects are as below :
- Americans are losing their job (because we sent them overseas)
- There has been an increase in crime, pollution and traffic congestion (crime is at historic lows in the US, pollution and traffic is because of overpopulation and laxed pollution standards)
- Erosion of culture (Culture is always changing no one in history has ever been able to stop it)
- Over-utilization of resources such as electricity, gas, food, etc (Americans use more of these resources than any other culture in history)
- Loss in form of remittance (?)

You are free to debate, confirm on\off any of the combinations above..

Are you a member of a native American tribe? If not, I assume you mean that WE are destroying America.

From their perspective they rescued the girls from the sinful tyranny of education. That's hard to understand from here. To me it looks like a profitable slavery program.

5189  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is anyone else concerned that 43% of the hashrate is from an unknown source? on: June 05, 2014, 02:37:35 PM
Didn't someone already point out that this percentage, which you say is now 20%, is unknown sources, meaning it is almost certainly more than 1 source?  Then it's not like 1 person is controlling all the hash power.
That's the fact that would turn this exciting thread boring. Let's ignore it and get on with our alien theories.

Very little internet there outside of U.S. bases. They may have to get the blockchain by donkey.

I see that a lot of people are recommending gold investments. So how shall I go about it? Should I buy gold through an online broker? Or someone locally?Will it be faster if I choose to invest online rather than having to go through a bank broker?  And will it save me middlemen fees?
I know gold is down, but you want to buy when it's down anyway. It may go further down but gold will always have some value even if the world starts to fall apart. My advice is to buy bullion rather than coins. Or coins that have little collectable value. You want value in gold not value based on coin collectibility. It is also generally cheaper per Oz. to buy larger bars. So don't buy 4 1/4oz bars when you could get a better deal on 1 1oz bar.   

Lastly, secure it like a paper wallet. If you have a safe deposit box, that may be best.

I all fairness, I did learn about the bonus marchers in grade school. But they certainly did leave out a lot of other stuff.

I would look at index funds over mutual funds. And don't forget about real estate. Next year there will be more gold, more bitcoins, but less land.
5197  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Looks like my Huntington branch banks have terminated my accounts due to BTC on: June 04, 2014, 08:06:17 PM
Pretty shady if you ask me since they wouldn't give me any reason

So, you really have no idea why they closed your accounts.

Maybe you should fix the subject line.
That's a good point. Did they mention bitcoin? In any case you definitely deserve a reason.

If the criteria of lordship is antiquity, then this lady might be the one (24,000 BC):



Those "Venus figures" are so compelling. I obsessed over them for a time and visited as many of them as I could find in museums. I know most scholars interpret them as icons of some long lost religion, but I wonder about another possibility.  What if they were used to identify you as being a Homo sapien sapien?

If you plot out where and when these were found you will see that they begin to occur in places where modern humans and neanderthals overlap. Neanderthals did not seem to make art of any kind and may have been unable to think in an abstract fashion. They looked a lot like us and even lived in a similar way to other ice age hominids, but they were different. For example they seem to have grown shockingly fast, reaching maturity in about eight years.

Perhaps modern humans wore these or kept them in their caves as a way of identifying themselves to other modern humans. Both species were in competition for the same caves and game. Wondering into the wrong cave might lead to a deadly fight. Seeing the Venus woman let's you know that this is a H. S. Sapien cave and clear of H. Neanderthals. Just a theory I have. But I have no specific evidence to support it.

I wish I knew what these are. The only facts that we really have are the age (37000 years ago to 12000), that they are of women who are likely pregnant, they seem to have been worn (many have loops or places to tie them like a pendant), and they often are depicted wearing a net or head covering of some sort.

So in addition to the blood and nail scrape, the body was found in his apartment and he has no alibi? If he's not guilty, I hope he has a good lawyer.

Bitcoin is a project created by the NSA

Very possibly true.

No it's not.

+1

How do you get to "very possibly true" when not a single shred of evidence points in that direction?
