I got scammed once for 0.1BTC on BTCJam, I've been extremely wary ever since.

I can't believe people are actually debating this, corporations are an organisation or groups of organisations made up of people, they aren't 'people' by themselves, the stupid argument you Americans are having is whether or not a listed organisation is a human being, you are also stupid for trying to argue with someone as dumb as Mitt Romney.

Quote
corporation
  Use Corporation in a sentence
cor·po·ra·tion
[kawr-puh-rey-shuhn] Show IPA
noun
1.
an association of individuals, created by law or under authority of law, having a continuous existence independent of the existences of its members, and powers and liabilities distinct from those of its members. See also municipal corporation, public corporation.
2.
( initial capital letter ) the group of principal officials of a borough or other municipal division in England.
3.
any group of persons united or regarded as united in one body.
4.
Informal. a paunch; potbelly.

Corporations are a group of people, they are not a person.

6084  Economy / Economics / Re: Isn't Bitcoin like the tally stick was and if so, is it more currency >commodity on: December 14, 2013, 08:52:07 PM
I don't see how they're the same at all, and if they are then so are fiat currencies and bank accounts.

Fiat currencies were originally receipts that you kept and could redeem at the bank at any time for gold and silver this is why there are more and more people who claim it doesn't have value, people have actually correctly described Bitcoin as a public ledger in the way it works. The reason Bitcoin is working though as opposed to these other methods is that because it has no central authority messing with the numbers and records all the time ( Like how Central Banks do all the time and are applauded for it ) because it is programmed in an open source environment there is no way to change it without people knowing and the code simply does as it's commanded and keeps the records without any bias against any of the humans that interact with it.

Tally sticks were used for a time but as you might be able to guess they'd be far too easy to counterfeit and commit fraud with, whereas with Bitcoin you have a bunch of numbers communicating each other using computers and nothing is more solid really than that.

Holy crap, it's embarrassing to be in the same forum as this creepy-ass thread.

Guys: if you want to actually get together with a girl, it might help if you stop being creepy.  

Oh no! We're honest about the types of girls we're attracted to! Tongue



If there were ever a test for being gay this is it.

Learning how to store them offline is your best option, don't trust other people with your money unless you're sure they're trustworthy, if you're nervous about fucking up the offline wallet then just practice with a tiny amount you don't mind losing and then when you've worked everything out put everything else in.

Is that actually true? I remember seeing the WDC volume bug that had shown up where the seller volume was listed as BTC but that's about it. It's really a shame about mcxNOW because it was actually run quite well I thought I would wait it out but seriously changed my mind when he started putting in such ridiculous rules, the paybans were annoying enough by themselves lol.

lolwut? metal etc. has always been like that, where have you been? Also I think just because they do that kind of stuff doesn't make them satanic >_> that's like the people who claim that video games are evil or the internet is evil.

If it was the UK we'd probably write "<insert politicians name here> is a cock" all over the ballot paper and similar insults lol Tongue

I'll be honest, I was going to avoid this thread but after seeing a number of cases in the UK of those parents who just totally wrecked their kids lives or killed them I'd at least just call the police to come and check it out doesn't have to be a complaint or anything but if there's a kid crying constantly and stuff then something doesn't seem right. You don't want to be one of those neighbours who just assumed their neighbours were normal only to find there's a dead child in the house weeks later after the drug addict had finally had enough :S.

Granted, I'm assuming the worse here but the guy sounds like he needs help never mind the smoking weed at 3:00am, I've been depressed lately because of the stupid news reports again >_>.

Sometimes , Farmville is more dangerous than weed:

Reminds me of this:
http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/12/18/czech-republic-sees-rise-of-jedi-knights-as-religious-movement/

Strangely in the article i see that :
More than 390,000 Britons claimed to practice Jediism on the 2001 census, as did 70,000 in Australia.

Are those numbers accurate at all?




Depends how you define accurate. They're taken from the mandatory census, so the data is taken from what people have described themselves as, but obviously most of the Jedi's were probably just atheists trolling.

This is a bit like what would happen if they made voting mandatory in every western country, I'd just write "Ron Paul" to fuck with them Tongue

Well, time to rent a private VPS and store my Bitcoins in Russia

kekekekekeekkekekee ^^

Also, reading that article more it's got some false statements going around there, I don't think we can really trust much information coming out of American media these days when it comes to Bitcoin nevermind anything else.
