If capital punishment is not bad they should allow me to do it.  Yet they don't.  I wonder why.

If running red lights like ambulances do is not bad they should allow me to do it.  Yet they don't.  I wonder why.

Could you allow, as a hypothetical, that the regulations were not put in place by people intent on causing harm?  That the regulations were arrived at after an entire human history of trial and error, by people who are no less intelligent or aware than us?  Is this at least theoretically possible?

Re. 2nd edit:  A good baker is not necessarily a good bakery owner, a good bakery owner is not always capable of running a chain, the guy who knows how to run a chain of bakeries doesn't always know how to bake.  See?

@Razick:  It's hard to figure out what's "too much" and what's "not enough" without some context.  Having never run an economy the size of US, I can't really say anything intelligent about the numbers (I'm guessing you're talking about this:  "Impact of Regulatory Costs on Small Firms," http://static.mgnetwork.com/rtd/pdfs/20110325_SBAregulation.pdf )

Re. "quality of life":  If you were born in the late '60s, there are twice as many people on this planet as when you were born.  Twice.  Getting a bit tight. Also, when you complain about declining standard of living in US, I'm assuming you're a US native.  I'm not.  Trust me, US has a ways to go  

Ok, here's an idea:  Stop waiting for handouts on IRC, stop thinking about salvaging a few Satoshi, and nail the fucker to the wall.  Grow some balls, get some self-respect, and act for the greater good.  Bitcoin is full of scammers because it's like scamming on training wheels -- you fuck up, no biggie, just try again.  If you want to scam with no consequences, come to Bitcoin.  No one will ever fuck you back.  Ever.

TL;DR:  Thank you for bringing this shit to Bitcoin.  Without marks like you, we'd have no scammers.

Re. People's ASIC:  Possible, but assumes:
1.  There was a People's ASIC deal.
2.  They aren't drawing pay (sure, ken said they are not, but he has ...a way with words).
3.  They're mindnumbingly stupid -- They would have to be disconnected from the web not to know about the investigation/untradable shares/the train wreck they have bought into.  These are presumably educated men, engineers.  Not amateur finance enthusiast of this forum.

Quite the contrary.  I can not convince you of your errors, for above-mentioned reasons.  But your ignorance, combined with your humorless faith in the absurdities you believe, are excellent fodder for this edifying thread.  I can open this page in a browser and instruct the precious tot under my tutelage:  "Study your civics, pumpkin, or you'll grow up to be just as silly as solarion."  There may be tears, but the initial shock and dismay will guide my charge to a full, productive life.

And yes, solarion, complicated things are complicated, and so is our monetary system.  Though the egalitarian in me wishes that everything was accessible to everyone, the cruel reality does not agree.  There are things that the likes of you will not understand, such is this brutish life.
But don't let this get you down -- God don't make no junk!  If it wasn't for your ilk, who would dig our ditches and wash our dishes?  

I assume what you were trying to say is "I was pwnt.  Now ahmagonna bring up moar random shit and hope you take the bait."
Sorry, fail.


Waaaa?

It's a temporal reality.  Time implies flux.  TL;DR:  Shit changes.


I can try to explain to you that the world isn't binary, that Federal Reserve is a complex entity
"... composed of the presidentially appointed Board of Governors (or Federal Reserve Board), the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks located in major cities throughout the nation, numerous privately owned U.S. member banks and various advisory councils..." ~wikip
...but i understand your craving for simple answers to complex questions.  Unfortunately, reality doesn't work that way.
Complicated things are complicated


Your points aren't salient, they're the same tired idiocy I have replied to time and time again.  I'm not trying to convince you of this for the same reason I don't try to convince a rock that it is a rock, for the same reason I don't try to persuade a mad man that he's not "a little tea pot, short and stout" -- it's a fool's errand.  But you are fun

Where are you from, solarion?  If this is a language difficulty, here is the definition of the word:
:  made in imitation of something else with intent to deceive
:  forged <counterfeit money>


Because when you do it it *is* fraud (though not counterfeiting).  When I get such a loan from you, I get nothing.  When I get it through a bank, I can ...you know, spend it.

Yeah, we get it.



Re. Goldman Sachs:  Money is already paid back.  Relax

Dear solarion,
I have taken the time too eek out the meaning from your incoherent (and frankly insulting) post, and addressed every point you have raised.
In return, you failed to coherently answer any of the concerns I have raised, choosing to lob at me a new salvo of asinine idiocy questions.
Way to manners
Re. your abortive attempt to define "fascist bailout":  I ask you again, what did you mean, and how does the word "fascism" (national socialism) modify "bailout"?  

Since your posts are random assemblages of unsubstantiated generalities, slurs, and invective, I try to force you into some semblance of coherence by narrowing the topic down.  If there is a specific slur or invective you'd like me to address, I'd be happy to do so.


No.  Not "a few frauds."  I'm referring to the sum total of Bitcoin money services.  Each one ended in lolz, tears, and fail.  If that's what you are offering to replace the current financial institutions, no thanks.


Well yeah -- they trusted, they got pawnt, they cried, end of story.  All the money trusted vanished is somewhere on the blockchain (ther'ya go, Ozziecoin).  Not sure how to respond with specifics to "frauds committed by banksters and their government stooges."  My bankster never ran away with all of my monyz, my broker never texted me with "sry got hax0rd bro ur monyz gone."


I would seriously like you to explain WTF what specifically you meant by "fascist bailout."  Sounds interesting, but doesn't quite parse.

^
Is this specific and detailed enough for you?

How specific would you like me to get?

@finlof:  Did you ever get that board hashing?

Sorry bro, this d00d beat you to it:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=596471.0
And he's a real camwhore, so he got experience

Rocket science is not rocket science.  Light fuse, climb in, go to da moon.

Give it a shot.



*On second thought, don't.  You'll hurt yourself and I'll have to start paying for entertainment. 

Ridiculous.  *World* history is one of bankruptcies, defaults etc., etc.  US banking system sux?  Compared to what?  This Libber paradise?  Where *every bank to date,* from Pirateat40 to TradeFortress to Ukyo to NeoBee Danny -- turns out to be a straight-up scam?

"Fascist bailouts"?  WTF does that even mean?  But hey, as bailouts go, this forum was all over Danny Brewster's D when he claimed to be bailing out Jon.  Now that he ran away, the sentiment has somewhat soured.


The vast majority could be wrong and you right, but more likely it's the other way around.  Climb off that soap box, bro, your particular brand of crazy stopped being amusing in the early naughts, don't milk it.

Quoting them both, Vincent's the first quote, finlof the second.  The 5-day delivery mentioned by Vince went to finlof, who hasn't been able to get the board to work yet.  Vincent's delivery took ~ a month.
