Basically, all USD in existence is money created out of debt. Every single dollar and penny. The U.S treasury literally makes money out of thin air electronically..Not to mention the entire U.S economy is based upon a ponzi scheme.

It's important to say it's worldwide case with every fiat currency out there, not just USD. Hence that's why Chinese and Russians too are fighting Bitcoin because it converts sick economy to healthy one.

Will somebody ban OP and delete this ridiculous thread. Apply some ecology, garbage is garbage!

because, naturally, people don't admire pre-mined coins, and they shouldn't. crap coins should go away.

While it’s not clear whether any hacks have been directly attributed to Heartbleed, the news caused at least one major exchange to clamp down on Bitcoin withdraws until it’s fixed.

I can confirm my Bitfinex account was hacked because of that bug. Probably not just mine.

thanks a lot for the link, it beautifully describes the core problem.
and pening, are you educated now enough? it's not possible that you still can't get what we're talking about here, is that a conspiracy? well i think yes.

You mention "hyper-production" and that is indeed a substantial problem, over-consumption is rife in the western world, but that is a separate subject.  There is probably a global collusion (or conspiracy if you'd prefer) on that matter, but its hardly covert and hidden, its well in the open with every major company constantly in our face telling us to buy their stuff and replace what we brought last year.  It would be far more useful and better received if people concerned with this made a direct case against excessive consumerism, than trying to tie it into all sort of other nonsense about bankers/Monsanto/NSA/IRS/climate manipulation all being part of the same dastardly scheme from the NWO/Lizard people.  The wider the net is cast the more it sounds ridiculous and more every day people will ignore the subject.  focus is required on important subjects.

I'm not saying it's completely coordinated effort from the top of the pyramid. It's like conglomerate of common interests to keep this order (we're already in New World Order more or less), and you said it yourself who are they. Things are on such a large scale that is hardly believable. I personally refused to believe in chemtrails story until recently because I saw some really persuading documentaries. Conspiracy so big, on so high level, yet not too coordinated makes people confused about it all, bottom line is: there is strong interest of elite to keep things as they are, and they are actively doing it. Partly, we common people are guilty too because many are living ignorant lives, refusing to see the truth, it's that blind consumerism you're talking about.

You'll tell I'm crazy, but I even do believe in Lizards (which are actually human-alien hybrids), and even time-travel and parallel dimensions.

Take a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4Vij4LsVO4  ... That's one hell of an insane interview by member of Rotschild family, but it somehow made me believe she speaks truth.
787  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can the U.S. government meddle with BitCoin code? on: April 12, 2014, 08:08:07 AM
i know 99% have simply downloaded the .exe and not even be bothered to check the code, in the hopes that someone smarter will check it and tell people to downgrade back to version 0.8x if something nasty was in the code.

make that 99.999999999% .... what i'm most affraid of is intentional bugs that can be found easily even if many geeks are looking to it...
788  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Too much scamming in Bitcoin on: April 12, 2014, 08:05:59 AM
First MtGox disapears with an BTC fortune and then Neo Bee. Besides them, there are countless mining companies that never refund their clients on empty promises. Sadly, in generall there is to much scamming going on in the BTC to get this mainstream! Noone want to get ripped off. Especially on his/her first encounter with BTC. And sadly, right now, too many people encounter a scam as their first encounter with BTC.

Sane people know that scamming has nothing to do with Bitcoin as a technology. Too bad there are low number of sane ones, sadly...

My wife found that information about Dropbox actually. I'm not sure what links she was reading, but I found these just now:
http://www.drop-dropbox.com/
http://reason.com/blog/2014/04/10/condi-rice-joins-dropbox-board-of-direct

Thanks, I'm leaving Dropbox ASAP.

Ah, free energy, this is a good one.  The problem with free energy discoveries (that aren't just completely bogus) is they don't scale ( i say this one who has implemented Tesla designed devices).  The proponents wont accept that so pretend the technology is suppressed.  Nevermind that the non-western world hasn't used the technologies.  What shouldn't China or India do to ditch carbon based energy?
 

Maybe not exactly free in the means of producing it, but it certanly can be free for ordinary people. There's actually abundance of energy, goods and food on earth. How do you explain tons and tons of food ditched, mountains of cars and technical goods destroyed in hyper-production world, yet there are still hungry people lacking basic goods. There's no polarity in the world actually, and every country including USA and China are ruled from the same "invisible" center using financial and energy matrix, I explained that already. Yeah maybe I sound like utopist but I deeply believe it's possible. Elite won't expell fossil fuels because they require work, and work is needed to keep the cattle shut up and believe they live in a land of freedom, democracy and opportunities.

Quote
The conspiracy also ignores the significant economic point that there are more vested interests that would benefit from cheaper/free energy than there are interests involved in energy.  In fact considering oil, there's more economic value to non-energy use than burning it up.  Consider electricity (mostly non-oil generated), the cost of coal is dirt cheap, its the transportation, the building a precision machine, the distribution network etc that cost money, money that needs investment upfront for pay back over generations.

That's what powerful media made you think about it all. I say again, there's abundance of everything and right now it's technically possible.
791  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Reasons for Most Problems on Earth. Bitcoin the Solution? on: April 11, 2014, 07:20:03 PM
Exactly. Where did this idea of conspiracy=anti-gov come from? It's not true. Just because some of them think so doesn't mean every thinker thinks the same way.

some people here are making that equal... that's what i see, but it's utterly wrong.
792  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Reasons for Most Problems on Earth. Bitcoin the Solution? on: April 11, 2014, 06:19:43 PM
...and the problem is not in having governments. problem is how they do their job, and so far history told us they primarily work for the interests of few/elite, while ordinary people are living much worse than they should given the technology advancement and hyperproduction we have today. we're enslaved by money that is printed in uncontolled fashion, and the inflation is killing our standard. and there's energy that is not free but it should be, because it can.
793  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Reasons for all Problems on Earth. Bitcoin the solution? on: April 11, 2014, 06:15:52 PM
Love conspiracy theorists, always brighten up the day with their mad cap delusions of everything being connected to everything by design.  On the other hand, those ideas pollute more modest ideas that might lead to change, so that people don't want to associate.   Why not just accept that shit just happens?

You're wrong bud, OP is predominantly right, it's not theory it's praxis and there are countless documentaries about it, you just have chosen to say blind.... btw I wasn't aware of Dropbox policy... anymore info on that?
794  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will anyone admit that bitcoin is looking like a sophisticated ponzi scheme? on: April 11, 2014, 05:54:05 AM
BTC isn't anonymous. Hate to break it to ya rofl... PUBLIC LEDGER ring any bells?

Bitcoin is definitely and completely anonymous if you use it from the Tor network. Period.
795  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will anyone admit that bitcoin is looking like a sophisticated ponzi scheme? on: April 11, 2014, 05:53:14 AM
The ultimate sophisticated Ponzi scheme, so sophisticated you can even argue that it isn't a Ponzi scheme.

There are no promises here, but there are in ponzi schemes. And when ponzi scheme collapses it collapses for good. So far Bitcoin has risen from ashes several times. It's just zero-sum game, like any other stock if you ask me + it has currency properties. Actually complete new kind of good we have here. Bitcoin is opensourced, and if anything is clear by now IT'S NOT A PONZI SCHEME, and you are probably troll.
796  Economy / Speculation / Re: Since we started at zero, do you think its possible to go back to zero? on: April 10, 2014, 10:58:15 PM
There's just one simple answer to that: no.
797  Economy / Speculation / Re: open your eyes on: April 10, 2014, 03:48:02 PM
These kind of posts make me only say. Watch out - next bubble is coming. And Bitcoin will go like 15x then, because Bitcoin is far far from what it should become. We just started adopting it. My fiat is waiting for the bottom, and I refuse to believe it will be under 270$ because it's not natural.
798  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Energy and Enthusiasm is Dying. Bitcoiners are Growing Tired. ZZZZzzzzz.... on: April 09, 2014, 07:46:27 PM
Don't think for a second that a truly innovative technology, one that has so much potential, can fail miserably.

Betamax.

QR Codes.

DIVX

3G

Google TV

Segways

All of these products or technologies showed amazing promise, but for some reason or another were either stepped over by better technologies (or worse as in the case with VHS/Betamax) or with more aggressive marketing, or simply didn't catch on like the creators thought they would.

1) Betamax was not that much better as Bitcoin is better than fiat.
2) QR codes? - huge success
3) DIVX - huge success
4) 3G - huge success
5) Google TV (have not much info about it, but sounds like nothing too revolutionary for me)
6) Segway - nothing too revolutionary too.

What we have with Bitcoin here is huge thing, and in a sense it's the greatest invention of our time - possible even greater than Internet itself.

Another bubble is coming... Maybe several bubbles, until thing stabilizes and Bitcoin becomes like 80% of Internet-based payments.
799  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Energy and Enthusiasm is Dying. Bitcoiners are Growing Tired. ZZZZzzzzz.... on: April 09, 2014, 07:38:33 PM
Message to OP: It's time to buy. Desperation level is at its peak, price can't go below 350$. Since we all know Bitcoin is not what it should become, another bubble is around the corner. And this time infrastructure is even better. I see queues on the Bitcoin ATM's soon, in the middle of a next bubble. Somehow I just know I'm right about this.
800  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We already have money. Why do we need Bitcoin?? on: April 09, 2014, 05:13:00 AM
2) No government/central bank can dilute the supply of money to paper over banking losses/fraud. (Inflation is the ultimate stealth tax.)

That one is the main reason why...
