The concept that no one makes money from open source projects is why so many of them fail. Also people just magically expect these people to work and make updates endlessly for these platforms forever for nothing...
Open source projects can be great but it is no secret sauce, unless people support it actively and financially.

Does every exchange hold 100% reserves? What about margin trades? Futures? Other forms of leveraging? Bitcoin is being subverted in the same ways precious metals are manipulated. As with precious metals, unless the Bitcoin is in hand, it is meaningless.

This sounds to me a like the perfect way to kick Bitcoin while it is down. Does anyone think this is a viable method to get Bitcoin payouts? Seems designed to serve as a freak show to give Bitcoin more bad press over. I think this may have been the purpose of much of the Bitcoin ransomware in the past as well.

Regulations are EVEN MORE totalitarian than laws, because with regulations you have no DUE PROCESS, you are just summarily ruled in violation and penalties applied.

The European Union is a dictatorship which annexed its nations without the consent of its peoples. Furthermore a European Union was in fact the end goal of Hitler's 4th Reich, but hey, I am sure it will be different this time. The EU serves globalist corporate cartels, and it doesn't care what nations it has to destroy or subvert to take control.

Monogamy has a very essential pragmatic purpose beyond religious rituals. Monogamy was designed to build society. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principleIn nature what happens is 80% of the women go after the top 20% of men. This is a well known principal in science, one that is supported by studies as well as data scraped from dating sites. Essentially women largely overvalue their sexual marketplace value and only go after the top 20% of men. They see dating their equal as dating down, and dating down as men out of their league. The result of this? Those top 20% of men essentially run harems of women while the remaining 80% of men have little to no chance of starting a family. People are wondering why men are checking out en mass. This is why. Women, now able to be supported by the state, are free to irrationally chase that top 20% of men, have lots of promiscuous sex, and maybe children out of wedlock to then grow old alone and unwanted. Notice all the middle aged women now crying about how there are no good men left? You think that is a coincidence? All the men they COULD have paired with are no longer interested, because they have nothing to offer them with their primary reproductive years behind them. Instead of finding a man who would have stayed with them into old age during the years of her highest sexual market place value, she was busy trying to "trade up" and ended up getting traded in herself. In summary, men are happy with enough to eat, a warm place to sleep, and maybe some video games. That means if they aren't building families, they have no real motivation to build society either. This plays out in the drop of tax revenues that they would have otherwise been paying working jobs to support them. No one wins from removing monogamy. More horrible destructive ideas from Captain Postmodern himself.

Brexit will happen. There is no chance in hell any government would have guts to trump over the vote.
I think it will have a bad impact on UK's economy for about a decade but people according to their legislation chose to be able to control immigration better over economic benefits. Of course it was a lot more complicated than that, but that's that in a nutshell.
Oh it will happen, on paper anyway. Also on paper will be the near total submission of national sovereignty May will hand over to the EU, while keeping it only in name.

The recorded clip is just extremely haunting especially knowing that the vision stated seems to be gradually happening and is somehow parallel to what is happening today. It's been 53 years ago since it was recorded and that is by far from today's time. No one knew that time what would happen. But what is stated in the clip, though not completely fulfilled, really is alarming. Hence, a question of would it really happen? How soon it will happen? What are the things can we do to prevent it? --- needs to be answered. Religion plays a big role in today's society. Though there are seperation of the church and the state, undeniably their influence is still at large in their quest to get people closer to God. But what if it will soon be used by the devil to evict God?
Or what if you are yet another one who heard the point woosh right over their head? He is outlining the REMOVAL of religious institutions, yet you live in upside down world, unable to admit your bias and cheer "Yes soon religion will be gone, then things will be better!". Instead of integrating the fact that your ideology has been a horrible failure you automatically chock it up as confirmation of how right you were all along.

My prediction is this yellow vest movement is going to be spreading to the UK, and May has some balls thinking she can deny the mandate of the people and let a EU dictatorship take their sovereignty. There will be repercussions, just like Macron is now learning.

No, you said about half of congress was using public funds to cover up sexual harassment accusations.
I didn't ask your opinion wheter half the congress should be charged, I asked if half of congress was found guilty of this in a court of law like Cohen was.
The whole point of the payoff system is to PREVENT it reaching the public (ie courts). Can you tell me what functionally is different between what Cohen did and what Congress is doing with public funds? What do you think the consequences of such overreach in campaign finance law would have on YOUR candidates? Who cares, as long as it makes Trump look bad by association right? Dems have been given just enough rope to hang themselves with and they wrap it around their neck with glee ready to jump from their chair. Go right ahead so the rest of the world can finally clean up after your decades of hubris and dictators with fuzzy pink pussyhats.

"If I were the devil, I would take from those who have and give to those who wanted"
The gap between the haves and the have-nots are bigger each year
"Soon I could evict God from the courthouse, and then from the school house, and then from the houses of Congress"
The church is still as powerful as ever, God and theology are still in the courtrooms and schools
Maybe another 50 years?
It is an interesting audio clip, great find! Thank you.
Do you hear that? That is the sound of the point flying right over your head. If you notice a lot of the things he is spouting off align perfectly with Marxist ideologies. To be so on point with everything 53 years ago.....Coincidence? or a Visionary? Anyone with a moderate understanding of history could tell you this. His generation saw it pretty clearly, but the next wrote them off. Between then and now much understanding has been lost. Today it is rare people understand anything of history, so such predictions seem almost magical. This ideology has been tried before with predictable results.

In group preferences are widely shown to be fact. How you act on these impulses should more be the question. I think a problem is that a lot of people who get labeled racists today are simply raising the issue of the double standards that this in group preference is ok, as long as you are not a straight white male. Some people are more equal than others I suppose.

And finally to the real point of your out of context quote, where does the Russian collusion tie in here again? You still have nothing.
Not long after Michael Cohen stopped pursuing a Trump-branded property project in Moscow, another Russian connection to the future U.S. president’s entourage started to form.
Like the real estate plan, it didn’t end well—particularly for Russian tycoon Viktor Vekselberg. His effort to engage in statecraft at the highest level unraveled spectacularly, costing him billions, cleaving his family and severing the extensive ties to the U.S. elite that turned him into what one Moscow newspaper called the “most American” of Vladimir Putin’s plutocrats.
This saga, much of it previously unreported, began with a chance encounter between Cohen, Trump’s now-disgraced former lawyer, and Vekselberg’s American cousin, Andrew Intrater, in the fall of 2016. Soon, Trump would be in the White House and Vekselberg would be privately boasting of having the pull needed to help achieve the sanctions relief the Kremlin was craving, people familiar with the matter said. Instead, he became the richest victim of the most dangerous standoff between the U.S. and Russia since the Cold War. So the fact that a real estate mogul planned potentially to do a project in Moscow, but didn't, is proof Russia colluded with him to get him elected now? Has half the congress actually been found guilty of this cover up before courts?
Guilty of what? You mean like guilty of "campaign finance violations"? Was Trump found guilty or some douche bag duplicitous lawyer? If this is the new precedent (yes this is a new precedent), then yes half of congress is liable to be charged the same way, because there is no difference between what they did and this, except they used public funds to do it.

If any politician spends more than he received in contributions, his candidacy is invalidated.
Problem solved. Next.
You mean like most developed countries essentially do, you so crazy! Legalized purchasing of politicians is the American way, what you propose is down right communist... If $2500 is changing our elections, then I seriously think we need to be looking at the integrity of our systems if our nation can be bought for less than a used car. If this were the case, the problem would be with us and the Russian problem secondary. However even compared to the last delusional Russian takeover using $4500 on Google, this one pales in comparison. It amazes me how far people like you will go to avoid tough realities. You know why I piss you off so much Flying Hellfish? Its not because I am a troll, it is because I am poking at long nagging points cognitive dissonance in your brain that you work hard to try to forget. You can't forget though, because some where down deep inside you know I am right and you are just running from yourself and you can't bare to face your own hubris and mistakes. Or maybe the Russians overthrew the US with $7000 by infiltrating one of the most well armed and patriotic organizations in the US, and Google. You pick which is most likely.

Regarding the NFL thing, I think it is the idea that working class people pay good money to see a game either in person or on TV to relax and forget about all this bullshit just to see some overpaid asshat crying and ruining it protesting while he gets paid millions of dollars for doing it. If they were not hijacking the NFL platform to do their protest no one would give a shit, and that is kind of why theyr doing it this way. They have the right to protest, but they also have the right to get shit canned for doing it on the job just like any one of us. They also don't have a right to use some one else's platform to do it. Essentially people are burnt out with this shit, and having them pay to have it forced in their face kind of makes people want to cancel subscriptions and not buy tickets...
