i wonder how many years it would take for people not to think that bitcoin is just another "ponzi scheme." i guess big companies accepting it are helping the narrative some.

doesn't surprise to me. it's on fox, and is pro-israel. i wonder if this yousef guy is getting paid to say this shit. i'm not choosing one side of the other, but all i'm saying is that fox being pro-israel is not surprising in the least bit.

the guy is a dumbass.. he doesn't realize that his anger and seeking out revenge is only going to cause hamas to try and retaliate in the same way.

people expect bitcoin to grow exponentially, so when it grows at a decent pace, they start to panic and think that it is dying. also, people who are looking to get rich quick look at the price only, and ignore everything else.

i don't get what you guys are upset about, at least with this issue. it's probably true, and you can't deny it; bitcoin makes it easier for pedophiles to do their shit, but that doesn't mean bitcoin's development should have to stop just because of that.

are you saying that obama has media protection? because that's not the case. there are lots of people talking shit about him.

bush is still worse to me.. sending us into iraq under false pretenses (which were intentional), and then cutting taxes to make the situation even worse.

it can spread virally though. all it takes is a few people doing it, who know what the benefits are, and then they talk to family/friends to influence them as well.

it's possible, but i think people are expecting it to happen. as of now, it's a possibility, but it's too hard to imagine it as likely.

no, that's what it seems like. didn't putin pardon argentina's loan too? they knew they weren't getting it back, so it was just a goodwill gesture to send a collective "fuck you" to the states. or maybe that was cuba, the country known for being anti-US.

realistically, whoever wins ohio and florida, the two swing states with the most electoral votes, is going to end up winning the race.

if i remember correctly, tesla's re-fill stations are completely powered by the sun.. and it doesn't cost you anything.

storage on a computer can also get corrupted, can it not? designating an entire laptop to save your wallet takes up more space and is harder to hide/conceal too.

well, at least we had a decent recovery back to 600. i was thinking it might drop sub $500 for a second or two there.

he has a 42% approval rating; that's a lot higher than what bush had before he left office.

this kind of reminds me about our drone policy in the mideast.. we think it's safer and cost efficient for us, but it ends up killing civilians and causing more hatred/extremism/revenge.

for those of you guys who think it's going to be negative: CNN has some decent people working there, they're just buried underneath the hypers. it was sanjay gupta who came out and declared medical marijuana safe, and he's for it.

smartphone sounds like a smarter plan to me than a laptop.. it's much smaller and easier to conceal.

classic is way, way better. the newer one looks so bland, it doesn't catch your eye. also the B looks so symbolic/iconic in the original one.

i still can't believe it took them this long to start accepting bitcoin.. they probably lost out on a lot of money for making such a dumb decision when bitpay and coinbase have been around to mitigate any sort of risk for them.

the answer is: when you don't have data on your phone.
