I couldn't help but noticed that you've chosen an Atlas company for your background, thus adding 'value' to your levitation photos.  I lol'ed. |

This forum stuff gets deeeeep, doesn't it?
Everyone wants to be important. |

 Spend your coins, people! Offer something worth buying! If I could buy orange juice, cereal, pay my rent and utilities and go to a theme park with bitcoins, why would I ever hold on to them? |

Ignore all users that use their full name , with middle name included as their username.
That's some sound advice there. |

Money doesn't disappear, it changes hands. Stop worrying so much about what other people are doing with their money and start worrying about what you're doing with yours.
Also, if you are so interested in how much money is coming in to Bitcoin, why not do something to get more money into it? Speculation = circle jerk of people who can't "do".

Bitcoin doesn't discriminate, it follows only the laws of math and the guidelines given to it by the network, and it is passively open to the entire world, making it potentially one of the best debt consolidation utilities in our century. That's all it is though. It takes money to move money and the only way it could assist in decreasing poverty is by increasing opportunity.
Other than that, Bitcoin is not the cure for cancer, governments, or reptillian congressmen. Sorry.

I know that those mugs can be easily made on certain websites, and the damn websites only offer them in white, but for what's it's worth, I think the mugs should be brown. Bitbrew seems like a brown color business, to me.
You know what else is brown? Feces. Speaking of feces, that first heart design...... Nevermind I like the second design, only if it was inverted with black being brown. On that note, my instincts tell me that this is the kind of thing you should be giving away to your customers, not selling, and that they will end up in Goodwill in the near future. |

For the record, "out of stock" means "out of business" and he still hasn't admitted I was right. Flailing douchepick. |

I think this would only apply if someone was running a website like piratedmoviesforbitcoins.bit. They wouldn't be able to seize the name, so then the bill allows pressuring the payment processors (traditionally Visa/MC) into shutting down the account. This would be harder with Bitcoin, the payment address can change every time and you would have to figure out where the bitcoins are going and try to make all exchanges not take bitcoins from that address (or coins that were ever in that address, etc). Fat chance; about as likely as invalidating dollar bills if they were ever used for illegal purposes. If they can discover the name of the person running the site, and MtGox has received identification from that person, they could make MtGox close that person's account, except US laws don't apply to businesses in Japan. Anonymous digital currency without central control wins again.
Americans can deluge their congress critters with negative messages about this RIAA/MPAA-authored piece of crap legislation, and let them know that our votes cannot be influenced by their MAFIAA kickbacks, and we don't forget.
Unfortunately, we do forget and that why we're in this mess to begin with. |

Click above to watch the Christmas Special!We learned a valuable lesson about having expensive video equipment but shitty substandard hardware for rendering and encoding. We ended up releasing this almost 3 days after Christmas as a result. What a joke. We'll do better next time. Let's play a game-- SPOT THE MISTAKES! 1) @36:52 - Subway sounds found their way into the interview
Dear Bitcoiners,
As I type this we are finishing up our last rounds of rendering and editing for the Christmas Special on BitTalk.TV.
What is the Christmas Special you ask? Well, I am a firm believer that everything should be interesting, thought provoking and entertaining and have noticed a huge stick firmly lodged up the buttox of the bitcoin community. To remedy this, I have spent much of my time making light of people's not-so-serious problems, keeping humor in conversations, and trying to weed out the self important money grubbing turtles.
What I have learned is that trolling is an art form, and as with any art form there are always idiots incapable of understanding and appreciating it. So, I decided to use my talents to bring some of that artform to a more appropriate medium-- video!
The Christmas Special represents myself, Vicente Santinavez (film), Mihai Alisie (marketing), Vitalik Buterin (editor), Vladimir Marchenko (security), GoWest (columnist), and all the rest of our legal, accounting and writers' belief that not only does this community need a better media outlet, but that when things are too serious, dry and boring (or when the host spends all his time looking at his cellphone) it doesn't really provide any value to anyone and it just serves to make everyone bored and shit themselves. This Christmas Special is our way of greeting the community proper and letting them know we are here to stay, with regular videos and even a magazine to boot.
We had a month to prepare but we wanted high quality equipment and there was also a death in my family, so scheduling got all fudged up and we ended up needing to rush a lot of it. Better late than never though, ey? I believe that this Christmas Special will have something for everyone (especially a few interviews with bitcoin businessmen never seen before and a few announcements no one knows about yet).
We're making this Christmas Special with entertainment in mind, but have left nuggets of education in it for both hard core bitcoiners and those right off the street.
Watch this thread and bittalk.tv for the Christmas Special airing on December 25th, 2011 - Christmas Day.
Happy Holidays!
Matthew N. Wright

FDA just creates health moral hazard - people stop taking their food health choices into their own hands 'cuz government has their back. what a joke!
Those who would change freedom for security deserve neither freedom nor security and always end up losing both.
What is a "health moral hazard"? But it isn't the consumers giving up their freedom, so why would they care about getting extra safety at the cost of some regulating industry existing? I agree with allten on this one. We should crush those evil regulating bodies that keep us from contracting diseases from random foods and stop people from poisoningour milk, meat, produce etc. We deserve the choice to be scattered, uneducated and helpless individuals when there are countless educated and passionate individuals working in that field trying to keep people safe and healthy. Don't you love it when idiots try to say things like that? It's almost as dumb as saying "cops are bad". |

If any business owner out there is stupid enough to accept a payment method associated with high amounts of fraud for example, they deserve to reap the rewards of public disapproval. It is very clear to me that very few of the members in this forum, especially in this thread, have ever run a healthy and successful business.
I do run a healthy and successful business and I have accepted a payment method associated with high amounts of fraud for years, called EURO, with no public disapproval. I was smart enough to start accepting BTC a while ago and I have been rewarded with a lot of public approval on the other hand. Joe That's great. I was speaking hypothetically. |

Yes, unfortunately a death in the family and an emergency flight back to the states took about 11 days away from my schedule that has now made it nearly imoossible to finish the Christmas special in time. We'll do our best!

He died? How so? And what will this bring to the future of N. Korea? Is his son slated to take his place?
I'm sure the US has him slated for something. No doubt. :/ I'm concerned because if got an uncle, Marine Major; DoD who has spent the last 6 years in the region getting our bases to upgrade their defense systems. Hopefully Japan will sit tight and China will be more effective and encouraging them to handle things peacfully and fuggin US will stay out of it. ;p I am not worried. Right now his kid is next in line, and he has been to Europe and traveled most of the world. I think he will hopefully be more sensible than his father was... Osama bin ladin has also travelled most of the world. |
