Greed is an external NEED for something which is not US in substitution for ourselves. So to that extent then, greed is a rejection of who we really are. Greed is a denial that we are whole and NEED NOTHING. Need is a dependency not a self-sufficiency. It implies that we LACK something. If we lack nothing, we are whole and complete and therefore have no needs. Honoring the self totally eliminates dependencies like greed

"Science Proves It: Greed Is Good"

" Wall Street, home of the good guys? Kind of.

Egalitarianism is not all it's cracked up to be. A new study shows that inequality and social hierarchies can be good things—within certain limits.

Let us now stop and praise the plutocrat. Really. Props too to the bailed out, the overprivileged, the exploiters of the little guys, the Machiavellian narcissists who earn way, way too much and are taking advantage of the rest of us to stay that way. Oh, and let’s praise Putin too.

Greed really is good, as are income inequality, bullying across class lines and even the iron fist of the political strongman—in certain contexts, at least. That’s the conclusion of a new study from the University of Oxford, just published in Nature Communications. Using mathematical models of human social groups, the researchers found that when communities are hierarchically structured—meaning that there is a potential for high inequality too—the individuals at the top tend to make more of an effort in the interests of the group than those at the bottom, including competing with outside groups and facing potential danger in the proce

The authors detected that behavior across nearly all cultures, and cite corresponding studies of chimps, blue monkeys and ring-tail lemurs, showing that higher ranking individuals tend to venture closer to the perilous border of the group’s territory during patrols, and high-ranking females will join the males in combat with other groups. In return, the lower ranking members are allowed to become what is known as free-riders, hiding behind the skirts of the big shots and contributing little on their own. The price for this protection? Don’t cross the dominant members of your own group or they’ll direct their power—and ire—at you too.

Studies like this always raise illuminating and troubling questions and are easy to exploit by nearly anyone with a social or political agenda. (See? There really is such a thing as the safety net turning into a hammock; the makers versus the takers really do exist. Or: See? Bully-boy behavior is the stuff of the apes, something egalitarian societies—and homo sapiens as a whole—ought to have left behind by now.)

But, as in nearly all matters of human behavior, the reality is more nuanced than ideology allows for. Throughout history there is a long tradition of powerful people who serve the group in some way being rewarded with more power still. Famous generals become Presidents (Washington, Grant, Eisenhower), not just because everyone knows their names but because they’ve proven their fortitude in battle and can prove it again if dangerous outsiders come calling. If you’re confused about Vladimir Putin’s stratospheric approval numbers at home even as he has made Russia an international pariah—at least in the eyes of the West—be confused no more.

We tolerate too the enormous wealth some inventors and industrialists accumulate because at least part of the time, they make our lives better too. (Thank you for the cars, Mr. Ford, and for the iPod, Mr. Jobs.) Admittedly, we’re a lot less tolerant when wealthy and powerful people create things that benefit only other wealthy and powerful people—(Thank you for, um, the $25 million condo that nobody I know will ever remotely be able to live in, Mr. Trump)—but we’d rather have an economy that rewards ambition than one that smothers it.

Free-riding is more complex than it seems as well. There’s truth to the fact that in the past, at least, welfare could be a disincentive to work, especially when the work that was on offer was unappealing (you try working a deep frier all day) and paid little more than the free money the government was giving you. But there’s a limit to that—especially when it comes to arguments against extending long-term unemployment benefits.

Under federal formulae, a weekly unemployment check tops out at 40-50% of your last paycheck. If you were grossing only $400 a week to begin with—and plenty of hourly workers don’t make even that much—that’s a cool $200 in benefits. How long could you lounge about in that hammock? On the other hand, health insurance free-riders—people who wait until they’re sick to sign up—do represent a real risk. So the only way to make sure everybody gets a fair shake is—oh, what do you call it again? Ah, yes: a mandate.

The behaviors we share with the lower apes are there for a reason: they worked when we were lower apes, and they still do. The plutocrats, the pampered, are necessary members of a complex economy, and calls for pure egalitarianism have always been nonsense. But so is the tough-love, pull-yourself-up, no free lunch even if you’re starving ethos of the people who have forgotten—or never knew—what that kind of desperation feels like. There’s not a thing wrong with the rich and powerful, provided that they remember what wealth and power are for. Blue-tailed monkeys and lemurs do—so how hard can it be?"

I used to work in liability and risk management.  The majority of homeowners' policies do not cover commercial endeavors used at home.  So if you install a car lift in your home garage it would not be covered.  ASIC miners would be considered a commercial endeavor since it expressly generates revenue.  To have it covered you would need to get a rider policy.

This was a grey area with GPU mining since GPUs were not tasked for this, but with ASICs unless you want to try to blatantly lie to the insurance company most people would have to get a rider policy.

Not just bank accounts. It can also comes from the sale of gold and stocks. A 100x rise in the BTC/USD rate could really shake up the gold market since the bitcoin market would then represent 10% of the gold market.

Edit: Bitcoin is a direct competitor to gold when it comes to "Austrian" / "Hard Currency" assets.  

You do know what those excess reserves mean right? If they pull them out and start lending, which is ironically what is likely to happen if interest rates go UP without the bribe rate (the interest rate on excess reserves) going up, an extra $26 Trillion can work its way into the M2. That would constitute an increase greater than 200%. Thats one really wound up spring ready to snap back.

In order for that not to happen, they have to do two things. Suppress the earnings of financial institutions so owner's equity doesn't creep into those reserves, and keep the bribe rates at least as they are right now proportional to mortgage and other forms of lending that "leads into the economy."

The same pertains to pure fiat (not backed by anything). Actually, that was one of the reasons it came into existence and got universal acceptance (exclusion of externalities, such as finding a gold asteroid, for example).

There is no bigger waste for an average individual than renting, not sure where the "stress free" is coming from, you still have to produce basically the equivalent of an interest repayment every month.

I suggest you re-purchase (unless real estate is having a bad year where you live).

How can greed ever be good? It's one of the worst things about humans, but sadly I think 99% of us suffer from it.

While Antminers aren't known to catch fire, be careful with extending out your liability to other people's homes.  It's one thing to mine in your own house and keep an eye on your equipment.  It's another to have somebody else's home go up in flames due to a power supply failure - and that probably won't be covered by the homeowner policy.

If electricity is shut down, all the civilization will collapse and no one will think about bitcoin.

But bitcoin collapse might happens in the next halving. Current btc price is the same as its costs to mine now, if we don't see it doubling before the halving, we may see btc facing serious problems

Let's make bitcoin our new god This way bitcoin will run everything and OP will stop worrying about electricity.
Problem solved.

For women it is a bit more complicated, but I think the biggest thing is to be wanted by men. Kind of like men boast about getting as many girls as possible, for women it would be an achievement to have as many guys going crazy over you.

Stop using money.  Share as a the family humanity is.  Work collectively towards accomplishing things as a species, not against each other.

Greed retards the progression of mankind.  Greed is the cause of depression, war and hunger.  It is the death of our species.

A society based off love would open infinite opportunities for our evolution.

Europex isn't exactly the best exchange, so saying the coin would sell for 2 or 3 litoshis would seem rather unlikely at an exchange with real volume. And if the coin gets on MP and only sells for 2-3 litoshis, I'd say the coin has some rather giant dev issues they need to deal with to add some value to the coin. Or in other words, you are doomed regardless.

A comparable coin may be something like Diem, which trades around 40-80 litoshis and is also available for 1 sat btc.  You can rightfully complain that the ltc market isn't worth much, nor would it be likely for the coin to zoom into the btc market (although not impossible), but right now spn is basically worthless, outside of that occasional 1 sat sale. Might as well take what you can on the ltc market and move from there, if that is the only option available.

We keep pulling away from MEOW:

4: IXC 16058
5: SPN 14932
6: MEOW 14896
7: GRC 13842
8: ENRG 13000
9: ADN 12981

We're up 36 over MEOW, and we're 1126 from IXC, which may be hard to catch.  But let's see how we do over the next day or so.  If we keep our current place, SPN should be listed on August 11th.  SpartanCoin (or DarkTrix, if you've been in contact with him recently), do you think there will be other tools/features out for SPN by then?

I think the biggest mistake people have made here is simply not accepting an LTC market. When you have 10s of billions of coins, the btc market isn't always in the cards.

It should have been on polo this entire time, in their ltc market ... no idea why the devs never tried to get it there. If it does well, it can always move up, but you have to start somewhere.
