Why does the Bilderberg Group - a group of people who gather to find agreeable & humane solutions in closed door to with highest governmential/economic conflict of interests - want to extinguish take control of all human life?
FTFY If the meeting is in secret then how do you know what they are discussing? |

How much do you want to bet that if a default does happen, it'll happen while the government is "shutdown". If that happens, more people will fall under the notion that they desperately need government now more than ever, not the other way around.
the republicans have made yet another offer, they will temporarily rise the depth ceiling so theirs no default and in exchange they want Obama to talk. its your last term anyway Obama go down with a bang and give them the finger! That's how to negotiate with hostage takers alright. If I were Obama I would sit back and watch the republican party implode. |

As Dwolla gears up for a new stage of growth, we recognize that we can no longer sustain this merchant base (.1 percent of Dwolla merchants) and its unique needs, and that attempting to do so jeopardizes both of our communities' starkly different, but similarly ambitious, vision for improving payments. Basically they are saying Bitcoin competes with their business model (because who would need Dwolla if Bitcoin takes off?) and thus they wont' support it. I'm not surprised. That's what I thought also. All this press lat week about bitcoin going mainstream must be spooky for them. Bitcoin is nightmare. A competitor who can provide a more secure transfer for less than Dwolla's fixed costs. |

I don't know why believers think that non-believers do not understand concepts like love, or that they are secretly unhappy. I love people, life, nature. And in fact I'm happier and filled with more love than most people I meet. Atheism is not a lack of morality and joy, rather a lack of belief in a god.
I try to be as kind and truthful as I can, to help those who are less fortunate, and to spread joy while ending suffering. These things are not because of a god. These are basic human feelings that are shared by people of all religions and atheists.
The reason why I don't believe in a god is the same reason I don't believe in Santa Clause. There is not a single shred of evidence for it. Until someone can address that, I can't imagine not being an atheist.
It is not that we do not think the non-believers do not understand love, or are even unhappy. Quite the contrary. I believe that many people are wildly happy and do love (often more so than many that call themselves Christians unfortunately) The problem is the concept of where the "good things in life" or Love even comes from. And what is love? Every good and perfect gift comes from God. God is love. God created love. So the problem lies more in the fact that non-believers do not understand where the good things in life comes from and God does not get the credit due for that. Basically He is behind the scenes giving great blessings and putting love in our hearts and we just ignore Him, say we do not need Him or say He is not relevant or important. We have this crazy idea that we could exist, or love each other without Him. How would that even be possible if He IS Love??? You seem together and like a loving person. I don't see you ranting with hateful words. Many of my close friends are like that also and believe in one god or another. I have nothing against religion at all. But I have seen many religions traveling around the world. Met many lovely people with wildly differing beliefs. However no one has ever provided any evidence of their God. That is what is missing for me. |

Would you really want to trust every adult with a weapon? There are a lot of stupid people in this country,and adrenaline can make even smart people do dumb things.
yes. I think the default should be to trust. We do the same for a far more dangerous tool, the car. Any nut job can get a car and go on a horrendous killing spree. Driving is by far the most dangerous thing you do. If someone demonstrates they can't drive safely or sober, we take away their right to drive. I approach guns the same way. As you point out, some will not rise to the occasion. |

I get that. It is just that I have found that the Bible is like a sword that cuts to the heart and convicts us. I know this from personal experience. Every time I read it I am like "Wow. I really need help in that area." So I put a verse up here. Some people will laugh, ignore or get VERY angry. (Hence my disclaimers) But it is very interesting that David wrote this. It seems more relevant now. I guess there were people even a few thousand years ago saying, "There is no God."
I think there is great wisdom in the Bible and that it helps a lot of people. Ideas like "the golden rule" make sense across cultures and time. The Bible even has practical knowledge such as avoiding eating shellfish. Shellfish are prone to red tide contamination and in ancient times would have been risky to eat. For me atheism has nothing to do with the Bible. It is Gods utter absence outside of the heads of believers. |

How could a caveman look up at the stars and not invent God? People want an explanation more than they want the truth. IMO, that is why God is still going strong even though we know it is mythology.
Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. Perhaps the caveman were smarter or at least wiser than we are today? They looked up to the stars and realized that there must be someone greater then they were. I know I will probably not make many friends here with that verse! But before you shoot me down just remember that I did not write it. Just quoting it. You are just quoting a book. There is not the least shred of evidence for the bible being anything more. It's a good book. The rules laid out by the Roman government in the bible contain a lot of wisdom about how to treat each other, but alas, so do a lot of other books. I think if you read other ancient texts you will find that the bible is in no way unique. |

I saw him play once. Someone yelled "Nark!" at him while he was warming up. He was pissed, lol. Now we know he was the addict and had a raging gambling problem. Funny that he was in Vegas.  |

blockchain.info is generally considered safe. But you might want to be a little more nuanced in your understanding. I would not want to keep more than a few hundred dollars worth in an online wallet. Why?
The website owners could steal or loose your coins. They might get robbed and you will have no real legal recourse. A thief might target your account and find it easier than targeting the coins in your possession.
I keep a few in an online wallet for spending from a cell phone, but the bulk of my bit-wealth never sees the sun. I keep it backed up and secured in a safe deposit box. No one can keep them as safe as I can. Maybe that is true for you as well?

Failure to back up your wallet. DO IT NOW!!!!
A lot of sad stories start with a wallet that has no backup.

That's F-ing bull!
Mark my words, I will never pay for dropbox.
Anyone know of a cloud-host that accepts bitcoin? Because dropbox just became myspace.

What if Nazis were involved? Or a secret society of cowboys!!! Yes, that would be a way more awesome movie. Daydreaming is super fun.

I would also expect the FBI to turn over data on sellers outside the U.S. Euro arrests may take a few weeks though. My guess is that much more is coming.

Gox is now subject to AML/KYC laws. The days of anonymously moving $10K+ amounts are over. It's not a bitcoin thing, it's because at gox you are involving fiat currency. Fiat money is not your money and comes with a lot of rules and regulations.
I sucks for you, I know. But giving your identity is likely here to stay; especially at a public exchange.
