a currency serves whatever purpose it's user's determine.

If you want it only to play pump and dump on a virtual stock market then that is it's use.

If no one uses it for anything then it dies.
Thus 99% percent of all altcoins die out in a few months from launch.

Also, zero control brings out the worst in people.

Precisely why it's a bad idea to have a monopoly on force.
Guess so. Are you referring to gun control laws in the US? Since I don't live there, I don't really know.

they speak French on Mars
Don't the Martians havd their own language?

And don't the French have their own Martians?

Zut! They have their own Martians but don't have a word for 'entrepreneur'?

That's actually not true. But it is well known that Martians that don't have a word for 'chik-kak skirrr graack-k psstsst greek-tsk'.

 Your armpits are particularly fragrant.
chik-kak skirrr graack-k psstsst greek-tsk
Translation: (Pectoral folds) (not) (malodorous) (of other self).

Flare your nostils to the greatest possible extent and hold the tip of your left index finger to the end of your nose for a minimum of 5 seconds. Emphasis may be added opening your eyes as widely as you can.
Note: Use this complimentary greeting cautiously as it is reserved for only those occasions when you are flattering a social superior of either sex or ingratiating yourself before attempting to mate. Insensitivity with respect to whom you are speaking could result in a most unpleasantly fatal social blunder. /quote

Dogs do this too. 'Morning Rex, liver for dinner last night, was it?' [sniffs bottom]
'Morning Rover, and you had Iams again? Have they no kindness, your staff?' [sniffs bottom]
Looks like some of the forum's community is from another planet. Grin

the best one

"like we have seen many people claiming that - I m satoshi"

i laugh when some one write this while the real legend is silent somewhere
i have seen post here on forum too a new user claiming that he is satoshi
I have seen many. Just ask him to sign a message and verfy it using the public key known to the public. They usually shut up then.

Pizdec coin

Somebody else might be posting from your school aswell. There is a posting restriction for various activity levels.

I faced the same problem. bitcointalk.org must be very popular at this university!!!!!!!
It might not be. It only takes a few people to clog the possibility to post.

water on mars? they found it apparently



*ba dum tiss*

It doesn't count though. The chocalate bar name should be in quotes.


ouch my bad!
Technically I guess that's rather 'water in a glass on mars'.
Just the thought of it is ridiculous.
If it shouldn't have been in quotes, it would mean there is life on Mars. And they can make glasses. Shocked

I think something that is underestimated in an anarchic system is fear. The majority of people will have elevated fear levels which will lead to all sorts of problems.
Illnesses related to stress, more people going postal, a poorer quality of life in general.

Ruthless and powerful gangs may dominate, the sort who will kill anyone at the first sign of conflict, before their opponents  'police force' is even aware there is a problem.


Compassion and karma in the majority is unfortunately outweighed by greed in the few.


Sorta like how it is now?  People living in fear of being blown up by a drone, people living in fear being spied on by their government, people living in fear of a nuclear holocaust.

absence of government

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chaos
complete confusion and disorder : a state in which behavior and events are not controlled by anything

The latter definition applies to the status quo.

Anarchy is not synonymous to chaos.

Anarchy is not chaos though.  Anarchy is nature, a perfect equilibrium of forces.  An anarchist world is controlled by the universe rather than man.  Just because there is no man made law does not mean there are no laws of physics.
1. In an possible in the real world anarchistic society, you'd get ransaked if you possesed anything of value. Surviving a day without having lots of goods/currency to hire and maintain armed forces would be an achievement. The stringest would win.
2. Anarchy where every person respects and helps each other is a utopian idea. It's due to the violent and selfish nature of man and the fact that a small group of psychos can ruin the whole situation

That's the fallacy about anarchy.  The fact of the matter is that, as you said, only a small percent of people are psychopaths and wish to go and take people's stuff.  As it is now, these psychopaths are in charge and protected to ransack anyone and anything they desire with the power of armies.

If we were in a true anarchist state, with no government or money, the 2-3% of sociopaths would have no way to leverage their powers, thus, if they continued with their ways, they would be killed as the numbers are astronomically against them.
However you look at it I guess. However, it being a utopian idea, it's impossible to implement due to the ill nature of humanity. Many people seek power, sometimes at any cost. Also, zero control brings out the worst in people.

1) Non-aggressors who could defend themselves (and be defended by other non-aggressors) would win, if we were no longer subject to innocent victim-only disarmament laws.
2) The last sentence is government in a nutshell - sociopaths, protecting themselves and psychopaths, from innocent victims.
1. So those defending would be more important thus making descisions thus it is anothef government, possibly totalitarian or authoritarian at best.
2.You elect the government, you choose who you want to be ruled by. And yes I understand how limited choice the two-party system is, however, it can be changed. In my country, there are lots of parties competing for getting seats in the parliament. If you don't like the current politicians, become one and be better.
