dude the people on that list aren't spammers their old school members of the forum and have contributed alot in one way or another.  Not saying there perfect but I wouldn't not just start throwing them all in a box and labeling them spammers.  Just my 2 cents however.

AFAIK, Nuevo Mexico is blue meth, fathers with terminal cancer, badass black-chileans and mad neonazis. Which one are you?

Davyd05, QuestionAuthority welcome to my ignore list.

fuck racism

Everything can be priced in everything else, it's just easiest to use the petrodollar (a.k.a. the reserve currency of the world) when pricing an asset that can be accessed anywhere in the world. If the petrodollar is replaced in the future, we will simply price everything in whatever takes its place. Would you prefer we tell you the exchange rate of Bitcoins in BigMacs or would that just be confusing because you would have to think about the dollar value of a BigMac first? If you are bartering, you are still pricing things and no matter how much you try to ignore a single currency, those items still have a price in that currency! I know that you know this, yet here you are writing this paragraph that I just read.

There is no denying the current world state of affairs and why we price things in dollars. That doesn't mean it's going to be like that forever.

I don't really give a shit if Bitcoin replaces fiat, I just want my assets to be mine. Bitcoin is the only thing that gives me this kind of control. Someone could take every physical asset I own, but they still could not access my bitcoins without my permission.

Great insight, that's why I love this thread so...

Florida has a problem.

Once again, the Sunshine State has been deemed the most dangerous in the nation for homeless people -- the third such designation it has earned since 2008 -- according to the National Coalition for the Homeless' 2012 database of known cases of violence.

In fact, Florida had more than double the number of hate crimes against the homeless in 2012 (15) as the runner-up, California (7), according to the report. Three of country's 18 fatal events occurred in Florida, including the running over of a 73-year-old in Tampa, the murder of a 43-year-old in Deerfield Beach by a suspect who wanted to kill a stranger, and the strangulation of a 40-year-old homeless man by two Hallandale Beach boys, ages 14 and 17, who had asked him to secure a prostitute.

“This violence is prompted by a profound lack of empathy for fellow human beings, the same moral failure that allows our society to tolerate the larger tragedy of homelessness,” Jerry Jones, NCH's executive director, said in a statement. “Homeless people deserve our help and protection. These attacks are a shocking failure in our society’s obligations toward the most vulnerable among us.”

The database even includes cases of "multi-media exploitation," as in the case against Real Housewives star Alexia Echevarria's son Peter Rosello. Rosello, 25, was arrested after filming himself approaching a sleeping homeless man in Miami Beach, taunting him, and punching him in the genitals before running away.

In another Florida case, a Miami man was panhandling at an intersection when he was beckoned to a truck and stabbed in the neck in what police called a random act of violence.

“I thought he was going to give me a dollar bill and I went over to say ‘Thank you,’ and next thing I know I see the pick come out,” victim David Mercado told CBS Miami. “He just smiled and laughed and took off."

The NCH reports a documented relationship between local laws that criminalize homelessness and an increase of violence against homeless people. The city of Miami recently moved to criminalize homelessness by attempting to repeal protections that allow the homeless to perform "life-sustaining" activities -- such as cooking in public -- without charges. A judge is expected to weigh in on a proposed settlement.

The NCH database also revealed that across the country, 96 percent of all perpetrators of attacks on the homeless were male, and nearly 80 percent were under 30. Twenty-one percent of the attacks were fatal.

First Bitcoin ATM in USA, in Albuquerque, NM was pulled today because it wasn't being used.

I did two things:

A.  I showed that according to the Quantity Theory of Money, real output (Q) can increase without an increase in the money supply (it requires falling price levels instead).

B.  I discussed the idea of myth vs reality and presented my Theory of Dinosaurism.  

You seem to agree that this is all true.  

But I think you are also suggesting that "falling prices are bad" is some sort of truth, and that if we question this it represents "fanatical idealism."  Is this correct?


All groups have shared myths including bitcointalk--you call this groupthink in your signature.  Myths are part of being human and shape our society--they can help us or hinder us.  For example, the "HODL" myth helps us overcome fear during outbreaks of FUD.  So far this myth has been beneficial to its subscribers.  "Deflation is bad" is another myth that was helpful in growing the economy after the Great Depression and World War II.  I no longer subscribe to this myth, however.  

Bitcoin isn't an investment vehicle. It's an asset that, when used properly, gives the ultimate control to the user.

Those "problems" you've listed are only problems because people ignore one simple rule: If you aren't the sole controller of your private keys, you don't have any bitcoins.

It's unfortunate that so many are willing to resort to traditional methods and give up control of their assets, but that should be a lesson for everyone else. Apparently many fail to learn from the mistakes of others.

It's also unfortunate that I am labeled as a fanatic because I simply want to retain control of my assets and not be persecuted for it.

Bitcoin does allow this kind of control, like nothing else in existence. So, don't expect it to become ancient history as long as people like me continue to value this property.

People hang on tightly to our shared mythology--even very intelligent people.  Letting go is frightening because it requires a reshaping of our interpretation of reality.  

I'd like to present my Theory of Dinosaurism:

One becomes a dinosaur when their hard-wired brain no longer sees it as possible for the status quo to ever *really* change.

When Einstein published his ‘theory of relativity’ as a young man, it was met with doubt and criticism by his seniors. But it wasn’t that these more experienced physicists eventually came to realize that he was right. No, these older physicists died off leaving behind the younger generation that was less blind to the truth.

Einstein became a dinosaur too in his old age, doubting modern theories in quantum mechanics.

We all eventually become dinosaurs, as the leadership in thought falls upon the younger generation who continue to fight for truth and progress.

This is what we often hear from the privileged few that are allowed to create money, then loan it out and charge interest on those loans.  Of course if adding more money to the total money supply were such a good idea then allowing each of us to have our very own printing press to print out as much money as we need and just skip the loan part would be an even better idea.  I'm sure we'd have the world's economy firing on all cylinders in no time.   

Me. I've launched it a week ago, so it's of no surprise that it's almost unknown. However it's growing well.

I guess that i can spam my signature here, right?
The alternative is already in place and working just fine. As long as theymos won't fight us, users will be able to move to Bitcointa.lk

That being said, what theymos is doing is pioneering yet another hybrid. I don't think it will succeed. I don't think it stands a chance. However it's not exactly the worst way possible of spending forums' money, and i could be wrong.

we konw that gold price is historycally stable, now we hope bitcoin's price can be more stable in the long for its widly accepted in busisness.

i think we have fath for gold because it is unique on this planet,different from any other metal.
is bitcoin unique forever as crypto tech develop ?

"Almost all the gold ever mined is stored in the form of bullion and jewelry."
is quick circulation good for bitcoin's price or value?

This is more like an "oops I didn't know what the law was" rush to save my ass response than a real effort to be compliant. Do you mean you "just" sought the advice of council after running one of the most heavily regulated business types on the planet for a year? Yeah, tell it to the judge Bugsy Siegel!

Actually I've been consulting with three lawyers since early December, but thanks for being a snarky asshole.

Yeah well you didn't open in December! So what tipped you off that you might want to consult with a legal representative? By the way most professionals get legal advise before they open an international business, not after. And calling me an asshole won't keep you safe but it might make others realize that you are nothing but a profiteer spamming the blockchain.
