Who made the rule that there is only room for ONE cryptocurrency? The market will decide that. There are lots of interesting ways for a lesser and greater cryptocurrency to complement one another.
Actually, no, there really isn't. Any reason I've ever been given that any other coin can "complement" BTC has been weak at best and amounts to "because I want to print my own money still *boohoo*". The only possible goal of LTC, as I've said before, is to ruin the idea of cryptocurrencies in general. There have been lots of people who have been turned off from BTC simply because LTC and other alt-coins exist. "Why waste time on money on BTC if people could just jump over to the exact same thing with a different name and leave me broke? Sounds like a scam" Hence: scamcoin Now, the market WILL decide. It'll decide that you're a victim of a pump-dump scam and you've just wasted your time. I'm just trying to help you out and tell you that you could be doing something productive with BTC instead of being an emo-kid that's upset you can't print your own money. You're way off base on so many levels that I won't even address this. Lets just say your comments smell of desperation. Got a lot of money tied up in bitcoin? |

Crytocurrencies were never about being able to print your own money. They were about building a new economy. Instead of wasting time/effort on whatever-coin, try to do something useful and be apart of BTC.
This, 1000 times this. Who made the rule that there is only room for ONE cryptocurrency? The market will decide that. There are lots of interesting ways for a lesser and greater cryptocurrency to complement one another. |

The Japanese attitude towards suicide is different from the Judeo-Christian attitude. Suicide can be honourable in Japanese culture.
Here's an important stat: In the USA of the 10 in 100,000 people killed yearly due to guns, 6 are suicides. The gun homicide rate of the USA is 14th in the world, even though they are #1 in gun ownership by FAR (88 guns per 100 residents, almost double that of the next highest country). There is no correlation between legal gun ownership and increased crime. However the inverse is probably true (more legal guns = decreased crime). |

How about all junior and seniors take classes that teach
- Gun Safety
- Gun proficiency
- The affect of shooting or killing someone
- Gun Laws
The biggest problem we have today is gun ignorance.
If you make guns illegal then only the criminals have guns!
Is that what they do in Japan to realize a murder rate of 0.3? Or their firearm related death rate of 0.07 vs. the United States firearm death rate of 10.2 per 100,000? Japan is possibly the worst country to cherry-pick violence statistics from. Following WWII, the country was forcibly disarmed. If you want to pick a "castrated-by-the-USA" country, they would be the #1 pick. If it wasn't for the US and its "gun culture" as some put it, Japan, along with Germany, would long ago have removed ALL free men's right to bear arms, along with most other rights.  |

The length of time a jet trail takes to evaporate varies because of a difference in altitude, humidity, and temperature, ......
True, but that is no the only observation being made. Chemtrails have been well documented. There is a video on youtube about a Vietnam war US airforce pilot who describes how he flew aircraft that sprayed chemicals to change the weather in order to wash out a bridge over several days time. The weather went from clear skies to torrential downpour (during the dry season). That was over 40 years ago. So when I see "chemtrails are a conspiracy theory" i stop reading. |

Your hardware is fine.
Try using gpu-z to check if your GPU clocks are spooling up all the way.

And the next day your money has halved... or doubled...
But 'average' people will never risk that.
That is not going to happen. Bitcoin price will not double or halve in a single day barring some sort of horrible disaster. Like a crash in the USD. A bitcoin rainy day fund is risk mitigation tool. But i do see your point. The average person isn't that prepared. |

Very true. In fact, religious morality is the exact opposite of objective -- it is arbitrary, full of magical exceptions, and not based at all on relevant material fact. Once again, cunticula has it exactly the other way around. Does not surprise me.
I'd argue there's a bias towards equating "morality" with "good". I, too, can't see any way to have morality without a supreme authority. This doesn't mean there's no right and wrong, the responsibility for deciding what is what is simply left to the individual. Not necessarily. It's perfectly possible to live morally without asking yourself, "Would God want me to do this to them?" All you have to do is change that question to "Would I want them to do this to me?" If the answer is no, don't do it. No myrkul. The question is to ask is, "Would I be capable of rational thought without a supreme creator enabling my ability to do so?". Your question is illogical. God (if you believe he exists or not) cannot be God if you are able to act independently of him. A "one true supreme creator" isn't something we could label and put in a box. Is he all-supreme or not? If not, then he isn't God. |

Bitcoin lets you store any amount of money offline where no one can ever access it but you, utilizing nothing but a pass-phrase stored in your memory. It is retrievable at any time, any place with internet access.
^^ Not useful for "average person," because even though you can retrieve it, you can't really use it in a lot of places, and have to go through an exchange to convert it to local currency. VISA still beats Bitcoin in this. For the answers here, think "What can someone do with Bitcoin that they can't already easily do with something else." Storing money offline and retrieving it elsewhere with internet access IS useful for people traveling in and out of restrictive regimes that ban transporting currency across the border (Back when we left USSR, the max anyone was allowed to carry across the border was $300. Imagine, a family with two kids, moving to US, only allowed to bring $300 with them. There are still countries like that, sadly) People don't necessarily want to convert their long-term savings into local currency, and if they do, bitcoin is a universal currency. It doesn't need to be localized in order to be useful. I wish people would stop treating bitcoin like its a sovereign nation that you need to be a citizen of. Given some time, your comments in 1st paragraph will no longer be true. I'd say in 3-5 years. |

I think what you mean is that unenforceable laws do not prevent crime. You cannot allow firearms within a country and not expect child murder as the necessary result. Here in Singapore discharge or attempt to discharge a firearm is punishable by hanging. Possession of 3 or more firearms is also punishable by hanging. Toy guns are illegal. Air guns are illegal. Paintball guns are illegal. Pepper spray is illegal. Stun guns are illegal. Handcuffs are illegal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_Singapore#Arms_Offences_ActResults: Next to no gun crime. Almost no murder. Almost no violent crime. If you want to stop violent crime, just summarily execute anyone found in possession of arms. This approach has proven effectiveness. Exactly what fool would try to profit from crime (using guns) in Singapore? The place is a dot in the ocean. The criminals aren't "suppressed" by these ridiculous laws, they just carry on elsewhere. |

I hope you end up in Christian Hell for that OP.
Hell is a silly concept. Nothing awaits you other than maggots and worms who wish to make lunch out of you. Are maggots and worms soul-eaters? There's nothing silly about it, unless eternal torment makes you giggle. Just ask this woman. |

Wow great topic OP.
I think you're right, with a caveat. It seems impossible to pull off in-game when the other players are humans, who are obviously subject to the time dimension.
If the other players are AI players, i think you could theoretically go back in time in the game, but the time-travel logic would add heavy CPU and storage requirements. You'd need to give the game engine access to every possible event that can be influenced by going back in time, then you'd need to make sure that nothing is just played back, but rather that every encounter is reprocessed. Un-influenced events would need to remain unchanged.
Very complex, but I think it could be done. Seems like a programming nightmare though.

That is just ignorant absolutism in response to the intelligent and rational comments by imanikin.
This is just retrospective criticism and brings nothing new to the argument. Did you want me to be preemptively critical? No, I just want you to elaborate on your argument. A predisposition to lethal violence is not something to be proud of, and the world does not need or want America to be its police force. If you dismiss America's WWII struggle and sacrifice to defeat fascism as if they were criminals, your comments don't deserve any response. If you refer to the more recent administration, then you should be more specific. |

I like how he starts off by saying he's not going look at the situation through any kind of worldview, and then proceeds to denounce other worldviews like Christianity. No one is nuetral. Stefan should at least be honest about that. While its great that he wants to change the way we raise children by ensuring they get what they need, WHAT IS IT THAT THEY NEED? Stefan Molyneux never answered that. He does not have the answer because he is burdened with the same human condition as the rest of us. We cannot escape, this is the world we live in. |
