This is absolutely unbelievable! Qatar withdraws from the military industrial complex, so now they are being labeled as terrorists! This is exactly what they did to Iran that caused the hostage crises. No wonder Iran is supporting Qatar by sending them resources. We simply cannot afford more blowback. The US needs to get its nose out of there right now! It's real easy for politicians to talk tough to other countries when it is not them that are going to be the ones suffering the consequences of such trash talking!

There are paid Zionist trolls who shill for candidates like Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, even on forums like Bitcointalk. We must beware.

This whole liberal democratic bullshit about Russian intervention in the US election is simply the Red Scare v3.0. 

Why is antiwar.com listed as a "fake news site" by the government? The propaganda is real, wake up!!

Seriously, it doesn't help that every single hit video game that is released today is a first person terrorist training first person shooter game that starts it's campaign in either the Middle East, or with murdering Russians and African militia in video games. They are training our kids to become terrorists, like the USraeli military and Al Qaeda.

I have previously written for the independent media, and I know friends who regularly write for sites like Liberty Hangout, Cop Block, and Antiwar.com, I can assure you, these aren't people who are paid by Russian syndicates to troll the internet, these are people legitimately fed up of the government, who want to stand up to the disease that is statism. This is unbelievable!

Why use a currency that is associated with anonymity when the whole world knows where you get your money from: The United States government, Saudi Arabia, and Israel.

Do your research. ISIS is a United States' funded organization. Operation Cyclone started out as an op where Reagan and his cronies began to fund the Mujahideen, to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. We now know them as the Taliban.

Once called "Freedom fighters", they are now conveniently declared terrorists because interests changed, the arms fell into the hands of a different administration.

Again, I reiterate: America created ISIS.

No, they do not use Bitcoin. They use the USD, and the petrodollar. Oh, and they have a lot of it, too! Did you know that Bin Laden was part of the Saudi Royal Family? Yes, he was unhappy with how the Saudi government had ties with the US government. In fact, this is a talking point for Republicans who believe in labeling Arab anarchists as terrorists, too!

Lmao, spotted the Legendary Shitposter I forgot to mention in my OP. Maybe I should make a list? Lol.


The problem isn't that people defend their point of view. The problem is that they "defend" it by deflecting to absurdity and Ad Hominem. There are famous examples of revered people that do this, too.

 I am the only one on the forum that uses logic, and is capable of forming coherent sentences. I deserve better.

Reminds me of the time white people nearly wiped out a group of races and then went "oops", before proceeding to put the survivors in camps, prisons, and the faces of target practice boards for cops and military personnel, the biggest welfare whores in the United States of AmeriKKKa.

What does his country have anything to do with his views on signature campaigns? Attack the argument, not the person through his country. His country means absolutely nothing because he didn't choose to be born in Bangladesh, and he can't really control the spammers that happen to be from his country. Would you also call it 'ironic' if a white American teen showed up to a school without a gun?

Also, I don't know if you're trying to be funny, but nobody can make a living out of signature campaign earnings. Those who can, would not be the type of people to buy internet access and get started on forum posting.

@OP: Nice work, keep it up.

Nobody argued against whether or not the rating on the OP is well deserved. Your cliche, shrewd, dismissive Ad Hominem wording that refers to my participation in a signature campaign, while simultaneously attempting to use that point to try and somehow claim that it makes my post any less valid will not have the intended effect on me, because it is not only irrelevant, but overdone.

Additionally, of the list of people that you cited, it does not matter who the people are, they rushed and defended the moderators, when in fact, nobody here except for the moderators and the OP themselves would be able to discuss this issue. They have context on the issue, we do not. Therefore, to be favoring one guy over the other would clearly be taking sides. Let's be objective here.

PS: You writing "Case closed" means that we have concluded this, I will not be responding to any posts you make regarding this matter.

People often tend to miss the point with such posts. Yes, I believe it is possible for Bitcoins to be valued at $10,000 USD or greater at some point in the future, but only because the USD is going to suffer from inflation. Not all of us are taking this into account. Bitcoin's value does not come from the USD at all. Let's stop making the comparison, for the sake of economics. It is not a substitute or a competitor of the USD either. It is *actual money*. The US dollar bills are debt slips. Bitcoin is based on supply and demand. It may or may not be the currency of the future, but cryptocurrency definitely is!

This sounds like a bad idea. It is difficult to enforce rules regarding multiple accounts because of the relative ease to which one can evade detection (VPNs, Proxy servers, etc). This would only discriminate against forum users who do not know about such methods.

I do not think you understand what "corrupt" means. It is not possible for forum moderation staff to be "corrupt", as they are not in a position where they can receive money in exchange for special favors. Unless we are looking at forum staff of high positions who also happen to be managers of heavily promoted businesses on Bitcointalk, but that is another story.

OP may be a scammer, but he has a point. Let's not turn Bitcointalk into one those forums where anybody who has an unpopular opinion gets group attacked by white knights. By white knights, I am of course talking about the people who rushed to this post to defend the moderators, simply because they were moderators. This happens because on a subconscious level, these users want to identify with the "people in charge". Just look up Milgram's experiment to understand what I'm talking about. We want to expand and encourage discussion here, not suppress it. Not pointing fingers at anybody, just telling you guys to chill out. It's just a website.

Also, this thread is coming off like a complaint about the forum [meta], rather than reputation related.

The same can be said about Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and just about any other religion out there.

Guys, I don't think OP is talking about a legitimate "ban"

@OP: Your use of the word "ban" is problematic here. The restriction on an account that is VPN based is lifted if someone pays the fee, which is very small.

I am assuming that is what you mean, because you used the word "fee".

Normal forum users, such as myself, are incapable of managing or discussing forum bans.

There are already enough threads about this. Bitcoin is going to go up quite a bit in the long run, even if there are fluctuations short term. It would hardly be an "investment" if you bought coins a few years ago.

Can I do this even if I have an Armory client that won't start until I have downloaded a couple of gigs of Blockchain?

I do not want to wait a couple of years for the Blockchain to download, does anybody know how I can use my root key to recover my Bitcoins in a wallet I haven't had access to since forever?

Why is Hillary Clinton still relevant? She lost by an electoral landslide a year ago. Get over it!

This isn't a 419 forum, stop using caps lock.

Yes, currencies fluctuate, they go up and down.

Your post is a paid shitpost.

The money went to a country that is involved in human rights violations. The money will be used to participate in the military industrial complex, which is a machine that takes from taxpayer money and injects into the hands of the corporate elite

I am curious to know what Bitcointalk's opinion is about this.

"Saudi Arabia and many of the countries that gave cast amounts of money to the Clinton Foundation want women as slaves and to kill gays. Hillary must return all money from such countries!"
~Pre-election Trump

To be very honest, I doubt this will make a difference, if Trump supporters could be convinced with reason, they wouldn't have voted for him in the first place.
