A purely "peer-to-peer" version of "electronic cash" allowing "online payments" to be sent "directly from one party to another" without going through a financial institution.

Even a small topic like why there is an NRA backed ban on research into gun violence would take a long time to do properly, even though on its face it’s a ridiculous law. What is more anti-science than banning research ?
All over human history being forcefully disarmed was a synonym of being a slave or a prisoner. Maybe "research" that. Australia had all their guns confiscated 25 years ago. They haven’t had a mass shooting since. And they don’t look like slaves. As we recently went over, jobs are slavery. Comrade. Now I’m confused. Is going on food stamps to avoid slavery a good thing or a bad thing? If you have to rely on others to survive, you are a slave. So, n/a. People on food stamps are already slaves. GL with bing your own island. Freedom as total, absolute autonomy. Never understood how a human being could really believe that. It's going out of fad that idea btw, it's more of an 80's-90's thing. I literally have enough money to never have to work again. As do quite a number of other people here. What do you even think you are trying to say? That’s only because others want to pay for your bitcoins. Without those others you don’t have anything. Australian Law Mandatory Voting Mandatory Education - until 17 Mandatory Vaccines Mandatory Cash reporting Mandatory reporting of all transactions over $10000 I think I will leave the slaves alone now one more - one of the most over regulated countries in the world |

In order to have a proper structured conversation about climate change or 9-11 or Sandy Hook or the Florida shooting is gonna take hours. Sorry dude I don’t have hours right now.

They are all ridiculous laws and events invented to create division (over regulate the population and create so much change that they give up and go with the narrative ) dismiss it all and make your own mind up on how it goes don't let fake ass scientists, doctors, politicians, professors, geniuses tell it how it is. what would you do if all you had was the environment to survive (like we did for 10's of thousands of years) SURVIVE!!! regardless of the environment you are in learn to SURVIVE!!! every job is fake except food/water, shelter, health and education if we are to survive we must focus on the right jobs.....(idealist sentiment should shoot myself in the head) |

so we now play spot the fake news It's the commies. It's always the commies. Which also means that the right tells the truth in proportion to how often the left lies. There are exceptions in both camps. CHOOSE WISELY.The thing is, the alt-right is so full of the most ridiculous mind blowing bullshit on the simplest of subjects, but expects their scientific analysis of climate change to be taken seriously. They are such a pack of idiots all you can do is laugh. there is a simple answer to climate change Why keep cutting trees down and pollute more water _ the things that create air Oh you cannot tax that so - carbon emission schemes to protect the climate may well be climate change but they not doing nothing about it even JFK spoke about climate change and still they do nothing about it thus what spreads conspiracy theories - because something is hidden |

Never heard of the Mike guy.
Latest news is that The_Donald and 4Chan have proven that the Florida shooting was a false flag operation by the US government. Which is really confusing because why would Donald Trump run a false flag operation? The only reasonable explanation is that the Repitilians have gotten past the Secret Service.
The_Donald and 4Chan (they referring to US deep state government - Corrupt DOJ/FBI/CIA operatives in cooperation with corrupt special agents from all secret services around the world. FOX is talking about the US deep state government openly) Learn more at #Qanon alt right goin full deep cover, exposing a lot more than false flags time will tell how true it is |

I wonder what proportion of the alt-right thinks the earth is flat. 10%? 30%? 75%?
0%, the alt right does not deny science, leftists on the other hand seem to have a hard time with the concept of per capita lol, racial differences in IQ, genetic clusters etc.  Gay frogs guy scientifically proved that Hillary Clinton is a Reptilian shape shifter. How do you guys sleep at night knowing that Donald Trump might actually be Hillary Clinton in shape shift form? Lol you're confusing the Mike Cernovich and alex jones type with the alt right, so gullible. luv this alt right, alt left stuff CNN - Russia colluded with Trump FOX - Russia colluded with Hillary and Obama someone's lying so we now play spot the fake news narrative looks likes the alt left are capitulating and asking everyone to at least agree Russia meddled in elections with wait for it - Social Media and protests Why are they not asking for impeachment? |

General profit taking, fear leaving the market (sellers) , some fud Looks like part correction, part manipulation first full correction looks about $9000 USD Media still mostly positive on bitcoin, again some fud Whales if risky could retest $8000USD any bad news you looking $6000 retest need to test bottom (buyers) first $10000?  , then if good news next stop $12000 plus probability sideways until mid march - between $7000 - $10000 |

I know we are still at a start of cryptocurrencies, but bitcoin is growing with lightning speed right now and some banks already see it as a potential threat.
There has been a lot of accusations form banks, that bitcoin is perfect for money laundering and is used for supporting crime.
I think they can do a lot of harm to bitcoin market and they will eventually start with harsh campaign against it.
Do you think it will happen and when?
I think now banks are starting to fight bitcoin in a subtle way so as not to be seen by investors. They lobbied with government to create policies that curb the spread and use of bitcoin. But it has not been able to make the bitcoin unstoppable from circulation and make people avoid bitcoin. - I feel that the bank has no war with bitcoin, more precisely, the bank does not care about the impact of bitcoin because bitcoin only affects the economy of the country, the worry is the government, not the bank. People still trust and send money to the bank, with bitcoin, it's just a place to invest, and it is too volatile, the bitcoin community in the world is still too small, people do not trust completely, put all money into Bitcoin is always an option too dangerous, it can not secure as bank "it can not secure as bank" tell that to the Americans who had to pay their taxes to bail out banks which went bankrupt in 2008. next year, someone did not like it so much, that they invented bitcoin |

The war has already begun. Here in my country, if the bank detected that your money is from bitcoins, they will freeze your account and you wont be able to get your money back. That's why I dont use banks to get my earnings.
What country you are in? Here in my country we are allowed to encash my money through banks. There are just times that banks are having an error transaction but they will still refund our money or bitcoin. There is also a lot of transaction we can use here, so I have a lot of option if there is an error through bank. Nope no war on bitcoin https://www.express.co.uk/finance/city/906189/Bitcoin-price-latest-value-crashing-stock-EU-European-Unionjan 18th who do you think donates to the policy makers shame about brexit if i may assume - 2 years and still the banks got you hostage |

Let's not hope that war between banks and bitcoin would start anytime soon. We all know that banks is acknowledged by corrupt governments unlike bitcoin. It will be a long process before bitcoin can be legalized free to use in several countries unlike banks who are essential part allowed to print free money and increase interest rates of every countries' economy.

I believe it will happen why? Some goverment in other countries they have study now how to given a tax and control this cryptocurrency because if you sell a bitcoin i. A high amount they will give you a tax. So the goverment now is studying this particular situation. It will happen because in thier side people need to pay a tax. Which is so unfair.
waiting for the new law that will somehow tax, regulate or criminalize peer to peer buying tried it with music sharing file sharing encryption anything peer to peer watch them attack it we all welcome the new peer to peer king Bitcoin |

Banks will get used to bitcoin and they will partnership with bitcoin if they want to survive in the future when bitcoin will be huge
true but only after the more likely scenario of the banks collapsing (bankrupt, no more bail ins, no more tax break, no more national debt) and be replaced by gold/silver backed currency with cryptocurrency used as the medium for transactions |

Shares on a public blockchain are going to be a thing. Real shares. Like Apple and Amazon and even Berkshire Hathaway. Not this pretend kindergarten shit we have had so far.
But Bitcoin needs a way to record and transfer these shares. Like colored coins.
I donno, a lot of legislation would need to change for that happen. Maybe I could envision one blockchain controlled by notaries where they would register property transfers... but not a P2P real estate blockchain with no authrorized third party involvement needed. companies will make their own coin and shares will be tied to this |

In terms of awareness it is probably 1998 but adoption wise it is probably around 1995 with just the university kids on the Net. Cool colleagues have just started trading crypto but the rest is still ignoring it. Some probably will the rest of their lives  It makes sense. Almost everybody has already heard of Bitcoin the same as Internet in 95-97. But way less than 1% got/use, so it is 93-95 in that. Also in terms of development it is like when we only had telnet, ftp, email and irc (I always considered gopher useless).... and everything was command line/shell only. It was the development of HTPP what transformed it into something "ready" for mainstream people. I think we still lack that "http" of Bitcoin... but LN is surely a step in the right direction. And it was major players like AOL what helped in its adoption... I am not sure Bitcoin already have its "AOL" or if we could consider Coinbase to be the equivalent. I thought that bitcoin is the HTTP.. and everything get's built upon bitcoin.. no? No. HTTP is a higher layer (lower than HTML though). Bitcoin/Blockchain is more like TCP/IP (it's just an analogy). Higher layers are the next step towards user ergonomy. We need more of those in which blockchain would be just an underlaying transparent lower level layer.... and "Bitcoin" will be *ALL* that. Maybe even some additional layers in which BTC is converted to "stable" DIGITAL fiat via sidechain atomic swaps. yeah i like that IP = Blockchain replace the IP addresses with encrypted blockchain addresses decentralize the ip layer - web 3.0 is here |
