First i would like to point that ( money, oil, minerals....) never has a God but mutual interests so it's never about religious.
as already stated you know that most of the oil share there is for China (who is a major player in Africa) so why would the USA even gets in the way? after selling all mining fields rights 20-30 years ago.
did you spend more time to look at the type and quality of their oil?workabilty for the usa?
you can always dig a new pipe line but it have to returns its value and plus not just for what you mentioned.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Jos_riotsIt doesn't matter what resources you have on that land if the people out there are killing each other for , what i can stupid reasons. It creates nothing but instability and no one is crazy enough to invest in something long term in those regions. Also , about the Chinese: In March 2013, Xi Jinping visited three African countries – Tanzania, South Africa, and Republic of the Congo – during his first trip abroad as the President of China. In 2012 alone, more than 2,000 Chinese companies have invested a total of US$20 billion. Increasing interaction between African countries and China seem to paint a rosy picture of the relationship, but the recent crackdown by the Ghanaian government on illegal gold miners, which resulted in the arrests of 124 Chinese workers in Ghana, has raised some red flags. As of June 7, five days after the crackdown, negotiations are still continuing in the hopes of resolving the crisis, according to the Embassy of China in Ghana. This is not the first time Chinese gold miners in Ghana have faced the imminent threat of being detained, beaten, shot, or even killed. In October 2012, a 16-year-old boy was shot to death while fleeing from armed security forces in the gold-rich Ashanti region. During that operation against illegal miners, more than 100 Chinese citizens were arrested. In the last few days, pictures sent from Chinese nationals, either arrested or still hiding out in the woods, are full of gory details and convey a sense of desperation. - See more at: http://www.tealeafnation.com/2013/06/despite-risks-chinese-miners-go-west-to-ghanas-gold-mines/#sthash.Imz4kQRS.dpufIt's a war zone there and nothing good will came out of it. And when the mines are empty...... |

Let me know when we exit this damn galaxy. We need a new one , I'm already bored with this.
You're a confusing fellow. In half your threads your talking trash and downplaying Bitcoin. In the other half, you're chiming in with all the speculators. Because I know bitcoin it's something for the future but it has problems. There is no such thing as perfection in the world of humans. Price is exploding , whahooo Usage , is it ? nope (check the blockchain) Both are facts you can't deny. I'm happy getting rich but i'm no idiot thinking we will reach utopia through bitcoin. |

I see that many people bid like $10 on a 2Ghs mining contract for 24 hours on ebay.. (which is equivalent to BTC0.0017) Can anyone explain this? I don't believe that they are just stupid and throw away their money without knowing what the return value will be..
You don't believe? Then my brother welcome to the believer world. There are so many suckers in this world , so many greedy people you never imagined. |

They are too lazy to change the graph , or rather to delete it.
Anyhow the cost are average , nobody knows how efficient , how many and at what electricity cost the new asics run.
There is so much difference between the new miners like knc and the old ones it'a a pain in the ass to calculate this.

If we start changing the rules , one thing could lead to another.
Bitcoin is a success based on how it is designed and the protocol rules.
If we change the rewards or the timing , the next step will be chaos.

Hey, A must for every cryptocurrency trader is https://www.cryptsy.com/users/register?refid=19664 . Her you can trade your LTC, BTC and XPM's for almost every alternative currency! its really nice if you'd like to be an early adopter of new cryptocurrencies, the period in which the profitpotential is by far the highest! How about you erase the referral link?  |

That would be as if America just started printing out more bills. It would simply lower the value of their bills.
Isn't that what we're doing? Okay, grumble grumble, you guys have convinced me. Bad idea. So in the future my whole net worth may not even be one decimal point? Sobering thought. Thanks guys! russell Your net worth measured in tons of gold is unlikely to be more than a fraction. It hasn't stopped people from buying much smaller gold coins. All money, all units are arbitrary. Money has to be scarce or it doesn't work. Commodity based money attempts to constrain the supply by a scarce resource. Fiat based money attempts to constrain the supply based on the whims of a cartel of bankers. Crypto based money attempts to constrain the supply based on math and logic. As for why can't we change Bitcoin. Well 42M BTC would work equally well, so would 1000 quintillion BTC. Bitcoin however is a consensus system. Participation is voluntary. The rules are known in advance. This creates a social contract. People who have chosen to use Bitcoin have chosen to do so under the premise that the rules won't be changed. Bitcoin makes it nearly impossible to change the rules and as such rules that don't need to be changed probably never will. To change the money supply, rate of minting, or the irreversibility of transactions (to include confiscating "lost" coins) would break the social contract. It probably would kill Bitcoin. If you can change one rule you can change them all. +1 For the post but.. Why did you say "probably would kill Bitcoin". I think that once we start printing or mining or god know what term I should use more bitcoins than the original 21 planned it will be a 101% chance of failure of the entire system. |

Thanks guys! russell Do you now have a decimal point of all the bills running around or getting printed? With a bitcoin economy at least you will now I have right this 0.00045% of it , and nothing can change that. |

Fair enough. I'm just pretty sour on the whole mining scene right now.
HashFast was going to be my 4th bad choice when choosing mining gear. And if it weren't for my shitty ISP leaving me without internet access that day I would have done it again. |

Yeah The first time I saw that picture I thought it's a funny .gif and the train will come back and run him over! |

Well at least this has taught me a lesson. Never spend bitcoin while drunk. on HashFast mining hardware.
FTFY. :-p FTFY. :-p |

The dude could have be holed up in his parents basement, wearing dirty underwear and popping pills. Truly amazing they have managed to amass so much wealth and their identity remains not publicly known. That fact alone is a testament to the power of Bitcoin and an example of one of the many ways in which it is going to change the world.
You know , this doesn't sound too good , or even funny considering we're talking about a guy who did all this with good intention. |

feels like an accomplishment, even though I didnt do all that much! back slaps all round  Well , I didn't do anything also , but it helped the cause a lot. I DIDN'T SELL!!! |
