I'm confused as to why you think he would pay amounts requested before the default or pay just a few of you?  You're offering a bounty for info? Help finding him? A hit squad? How could this possibly help now? If there were a way I would try myself.

So troll, do you still want to spend a million of daddy's money on Bitcoin? Wait till this time tomorrow and you may only need $100k to buy the same amount as when you started this thread.

Oh, and thank you and the rest of the mods for ignoring me. Without that complacency I would have been gone long ago.

That wasn't complacency, that was willful restraint. 

I hope you're not just saying that to make me happy!  180,000 members or so, at least 30% of them are different people, half of those are scammers and I'm the problem. I feel honored. lol

Guys, just a question, I haven't been following the news...

Was there a second bad news item from China or are we still talking about the one about 45 hours ago?


45 hours seems like an eternity here doesn't it?

tell me bulls, are you happy with the goxloop thing? Wink

Gox is just doing it's thing.

You mean attempting to artificially protect the price?

Do you think the exchange rate would be higher or lower today if Gox never Goxxed?

I think they would more closely match the other exchanges.

Not allowing Americans to join? Not allowing Americans to join? Let's go kick their ass!

Team America World Police - Fuck Yeah!


It no surprise with American's like this why people around the world hate American's. Sad



its called humor

He doesn't even realize I'm making fun of America. Humor is the one thing I've noticed that really doesn't cross national boundaries very well.

No, Bitcoin doesn't have to be the mark in it's current form. The successor to Bitcoin could be. Come on Moonshadow, you know coercion will be a part of it just as coercion through groupthink is used on this forum to steer non believers into the gospel/doctrine of Bitcoin.


Peer pressure, whatever you call it, is not coercion.  Coercion is the use of force, as in enforcement of monetary laws.  The general opinion of a (largely) anonymous forum, whether or not you agree with that "groupthink" (it's called Bitcointalk, after all.  There's obviously a bias.), is not force.  All they can do is ignore your commentary.  Which happens to be what most of us do to you, Question.

That's the great innovation of bitcoin, as mass adoption of bitcoin would make government control of commerce much more difficult than it already is.  That is no small thing.

 I don't believe any of this bullshit either but I bet there are tens of thousands of Christians that I could convince. You are a unique believer in that you are not swayed by every wind of doctrine and don't take the sermon from the pulpit literally. Many do.

Oh, I know that.  A great many of those same people consider me a heretic as well.


Force is a state of mind. It comes in many forms. Patriotism seems to be the strongest and will actually make young people commit suicide for their government. You're still missing my point. Bitcoin could be the precursor to the final iteration that will be sanctioned by government. The way the masses here scream for the government to step in after every new scam they are obviously in favor of more government control. If that weren't true they would just shut up and take their beating. Yes, I can see you being considered a heretic by the mainstream Christians.

Oh, and thank you and the rest of the mods for ignoring me. Without that complacency I would have been gone long ago.

Josh Zerlan what would your mother think about the way you act in public? I hope you don't kiss her with that mouth! Maybe you were raised by apes and don't know any better. At the zoo apes will throw their shit on you just like you do. lol
7455  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What does the bible say about Bitcoin? on: December 06, 2013, 06:18:26 PM
I do agree with you that even Christians shouldn't take the bible literally. If you want to use it as a group of parables to help you make sound moral decisions that is less damaging than what people actually use it for in most circumstances. Religions that are used to pass judgment on the lifestyle of others are as dangerous to me as a dictator poised for war. Just as many lives have been destroyed or ended with religion.

I didn't say that I don't take any part of it literally.

In order to have Bitcoin fit into the role of the one world financial system it does not have to currently be an involuntary system. All it needs to be is a system that unifies the world under one monetary system. It can be perverted into an involuntary system once it's in place and the beast rises to power. Or perhaps it can be the training exercise necessary to teach the world how to use a one world financial system and be replaced with something similar in the near future.  

Since that is an impossibility without coercion, the rest is irrelevent.  Bitcoin cannot be the mark; and as I already mentioned, I don't even condsider "the mark" to be an actual prophesy, so the interpretation regarding control of commerce (which was very relevent to the Roman Empire during the first century A.D.) is not relevent to Bitcoin, the United Nations, or the United States Federal Reserve.  It's Daniel that predicts the (repeated) rise of Israel as a nation with actual borders, and Enoch perhaps as well (in the prophesy of the ages of humanity).  I don't consider actual prophesy to be at all common, and it should be suspect (even th ebible itself says this) but I don't consider prophesy to be impossible either.  Of course, those same prophesies (both in Daniel and Enoch) arent' very useful except in hindsight, as the only thing that they are really good for is establishing the (divine?) creditials of the author to a distant generation.

Well that is fascinating. You are attempting to create your own version of Christianity through study. I suppose that's the way all offshoots of it started. Last I read there were over 40,000 different sects of Christianity in the world. With each person interpreting it the way they see fit then I can understand why. I don't dismiss religion without at least attempting to understand it. That's a foolhardy exercise performed by young people because religion gets in the way of getting laid while high on something illegal which seems to be the preferred lifestyle choice today. Basic theology should be a requirement in primary education worldwide. If your going to dismiss anything you should at least understand it first.

I do agree with you that even Christians shouldn't take the bible literally. If you want to use it as a group of parables to help you make sound moral decisions that is less damaging than what people actually use it for in most circumstances. Religions that are used to pass judgment on the lifestyle of others are as dangerous to me as a dictator poised for war. Just as many lives have been destroyed or ended with religion.

Christianity uses the fear of overpowering reprisal to curb behavior. When I was young I listened to older Christians talk about the United Nations as being the beast with seven heads and ten horns. They actually believed that a 2k year old ragtag collection of parables could predict the end of the world today. That's as foolish as believing in Nostradamus. In order to have Bitcoin fit into the role of the one world financial system it does not have to currently be an involuntary system.

I have faith that Jesus walked on water. I just kind of figured it was winter.

There is no evidence it was winter.  Roll Eyes

Wouldn't matter.  The Sea of Galliee never freezes.

You analytical fuckers are picking apart a joke. *facepalm*

It's as amusing to myself to dissect your jokes as it is for you to ridicule my belief system.

I just saw this and first let me say sorry for the Jesus joke. I had no idea you were one of those or I would have enjoyed the joke much more than I did.

I have to ask you a question since I now know your bias. How do you rationalize supporting what could be considered the one world financial system that will come about at the end of days?

"He (the false prophet) was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast (antichrist), so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand (private key?) or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number.

What if there's a shitload of trees in your yard? Do they just bomb your house with the package?

Imagine a fleet of these things loaded with explosives and used by a foreign invader. "General did you order something from Amazon?" BOOM

In the future they should build one the size of a helicopter that can deliver generators and lawnmowers. lol
