regarding unemployment:

the only thing I'd say causes more unemployment than minimum wage laws is the progress of technology. And that should be a good thing. Technology is freeing humans from stressful, monotone and harmful work. A cause for celebration. Productivity is going through the roof. The one reason why this is a cause for lament instead of celebration is that we have a system where you need to earn money in order to sustain yourself and the most accepted form of getting money is to work for it/have a job. Sooner or later something has to break, because the trend of accelerating progress in technology and the correlated trend of decreasing availability of jobs won't be stopping any time soon.

Yes, there will always be creation of new jobs, which didn't exist before but is the rate at which these are created really equivalent to the rate of job destruction caused by technology? I don't think so. 250 years ago technology displaced human labor from agriculture...into industry. Later the same happened to industry jobs and now most developed economies have a 70 - 80% share of service industry in their economies. Technology has already begun to displace human labor from there as well. But human labor has nowhere left to migrate.

I've mentioned this several times. We are headed towards totall collapse unless for starters some sort of universal welfare is paid to everyone. Why? fucking simple, because NOT EVERYONE CAN BE A TECHNICIAN, which will be the bare fucking mimum to get a job in the future, because if most of the "low-iq" jobs start getting replaced with machines (as it should, since its more efficient, cheaper, more secure etc) then all these people do what? exactly, there's nothing to do.

This is hard to do in my case, because all little savings I get get ravaged by bills, food, basic shit, taxes, so I can barely get any extra fiat for BTC.
643  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think Satoshi will ever spend his bitcoins? on: July 28, 2014, 10:14:59 PM
Im pretty certain he uses them. If I was a super anonymous figure that had to remain anonymous for security reasons I would avoid banks and fiat as much as possible, he probably has enough Bitcoins to never need to work again so why not buy anonymous thanks to them.

"Whatever happens happen, im not responsible for it and no one is."

As long as you believe this, you will continue to be a victim.

It's not belief, it's science.

Im not responsible of my dead end situation and rpietla is not responsible of his rich situation, so to speak.

So rpietila is starting a Bitcoin illuminati Rothchild Bildercoin group from hell. Meanwhile im unemployed and still don't have an entire BTC.  Financial freedoom Roll Eyes

What's your age range and your skills?  Rpietilla is in his late 30s I think (even though some of his pictures look older.. he he he), so he has had some opportunities (and most likely should admit luck) to have achieved a form of financial freedom - nonetheless, NO one's financial freedom is completely ensured unless they are sure that their assets are sufficiently diversified and hedged.  Also, the person must be able to live within the means of the passive income from the assets.  Accordingly, there may be a need to continuously monitor the status of such "financial freedom" - unless the wealth buffer remains sufficiently great in order to make any threat to "FF" a non-issue.

Im in my mid 20's and my skills aren't anything that can be moniterised, or that can give you more than peanuts, I like music and as you can see I can type in english but I cant teach it because my acccent is shit as I dont have any english friends. My country has the most unemployment in europe. Even if I had skills I would be fucked anyway. Bitcoin doesnt solve this.
Also, freewill is an ilusion, this is why is absurd to think people have done anything for themselves, is just a chain of events, no one is responsible of their situation, im not responsible of my situation and rich people aren't responsible of their situation. Freewill, freemarket, all an ilusion.

So you're either Spanish or Greek. I once worked in an foreign language school in Tarifa, Spain. The main teacher there could not pronounce one single English word a hundred percent correctly, still he was teacher. Even here in Germany, I had English teachers with very strong accent. So never mind, your English skills seem to be good enough for teaching. Furthermore, I myself do not speak to English speakers frequently, but I managed to strip off most of my accent myself. You can learn that, too.

Or if you like music, try to make something out of it. I learned to play the guitar when I was 13, all by myself, until now I haven't learned to play by musical score, but I nevertheless I give guitar lessons to beginners once in a while.

I agree that it's not always free will that leads to success or failure. Often the successful are predetermined to be successful because they have the predetermined personality to achieve (which is both a positive and a negative characteristic). I'm not a big "achiever", but I don't want to be one either, I'm content with keeping life simple. I don't need much money. Just try some things according to your abilities and in the end you will still live. If you are able to save a Euro or two and put it into bitcoin, in the end you might still achieve financial freedom. Even if you can't work against - as you might see them - big forces, which keep the successful on top and keep your spirit down, you can try to use the small forces in yourself to make the best out of it. The best for one might not always be perfect, but it's still better than a lifelong depression.

Thats correct, and no I can't be a teacher or get any job at 25 without experience, they always want experience. Im considering studying something this year just to not stay at home again and hopefully meet some girls too, but fuck it, I didn't enroll so i'll have to enroll in whatever spots are left in september.

And no Bitcoin will not achieve shit for me if I don't have any spare fiat to invest on it, which I don't. Basically the little BTCs are get are thanks to Stunna which is like the only way to get Bitcoins these days, he's doing God's work. Once he stops the adv campaing then im fucked.
Bitcoin will never go high enough for me to achieve financial freedom because for that you need at least what? 100 BTC, so not gonna happen.

Being on a dead end is awesome.

Bitcoin isn't a cure-all. It can solve some issues regarding economy and politics, but it won't solve unemployment. You can however use trading to make money - even if you start small. And I do live in Greece btw where unemployment is like 30% / young unemployment is over 60%.

The primary problem is not Bitcoin, the socioeconomic environment etc etc. These are excuses. 99% of the people don't have a vision of what they want to achieve. They live life as life comes to them instead of planning it. Once you have a proper vision, and reinforce it through your subconscious (subconscious programming, visualization etc), stuff will start falling into place. With no vision/purpose, you can't do much. Your body and mind are like a car that goes circles - with no destination.

Trading is too risky and not worth if you are playing with peanuts, whenever i've tried trading I fuck half it up of the times. Whatever happens happen, im not responsible for it and no one is. In a way we are just discovering our lifes which are already determined, this is a hard thing to grasp. This is also why objectively no one deserves to be poor or rich, or be be punished because they killed someone or what not. I mean of course we need to lock "the bad guys" for our own safety, but it's not their fault. Like a I said, it's a hard thing to grasp.

Well most of my non geeky friends have lost interest in Bitcoin beyond being something that would deliver more fiat money to use for mall shopping and going traveling, they just want a nice extra on their shitty situation (mine is shitty too) if it doesnt improve their life quality they get bored with it.
649  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: July 27, 2014, 11:51:37 AM
I must admit this boredom is more difficult to endure than the FUD madness of the previous bear market.

Well at some point in time BTC will have to be as boring to watch as watching a FIAT price graph if it pretends to be a useable currency.

Hopefully enough so I can buy some presents to my family. And in 10 years hopefully it's enough for me to retire, aka 100K per coin, aka I don't see it.

The first viral coin per se would have been DOGE in any case, even if it isn't in terms of mining but the coin was the first coin fenoman technically.

This got me really curious. Are they adding some sort of funny easter eggs on every single whitepaper out there? would be interesting to see. Please keep us updated.

Is this coin fucked as well? what happened? anyone can sum it off? It seems the altcoin world is just a big ass mess these days.

The coin sounds good, the logo is good, the OP is good, the wallet is 100 mb... why?
And why would people use this instead of Darkcoin at this point which has a bigger stablished network effect¿?

Here's what I dont' get: How do you guarantee that the BTN prices will trade for the equivalent values in BTC? Like you say, in theory 1 BTN = 10 BTC. But who guarantees this is like this?

I like the layout and the colors are nice to look at which is important as you spend a shit ton of time monitoring graphics on there. I would like to see Cryptonote based coins such as Monero and Fantomcoin on there since these coins are usually always delayed when launched in other exchanges.

Paypal is most of the time a guaranteed scam. The only way I interacted with Paypal in the crypto world was when I bought some BTC back in the day in Virwox. My ass still hurts from the fees.

JKC is following the usual path when it comes to altcoins, First the hype, then the dump. The Cryptsy dump was enough for me to personally step off the JKC market for life.

What happened with Elitecoin for you to care enough to want to trace the developer? I've given up on the alt world besides only a couple coins.
