Sex is the cause of all suffering. It is the sexual act that creates life, and the improper use of sex that takes life away. The sexual force is what drives us as human beings, it is from that energy that we have the strength to pursue life, and it is in those few moments of ecstasy,  that life could perhaps seem worth while, until you reach the climax of course.
  Sex isn't always pleasurable for every party member in attendance, whether it's one person involved, two, or several, and that goes to say, it isn't always a act of consent.  It is the drive of sex, that pushes us beyond our limits, or limits us completely, depending on how it's used.
   Sex is apart of nature, but In the near future,  the process will become mechanical,  and automated. Without the drive, you couldn't get out of your bed in the morning, the drive is apart of our vitality, the sex drive simply needs to be reinforced within other areas of our life, to fully benefit from its energy.
 Society as a collective, is still in its infancy, but will mature over time. No matter where you travel, or go abroad, you'll find these truths to be self evident.   Cool
862  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How do you equate the value of women today? on: November 18, 2017, 02:23:01 AM
Women have very little to no value mentally, morally, and ethically. By nature, women place all of their values on the physicalities. Women are molded by their peers from within the society that they cohabit in. All of a womans value is based upon, and created by modern social constructs, due to the passivity of a womans nature. They are a direct product of their environment, wherever it may be.
      By nature, women are passive entities,  who's consciousness, and intelligence is centered around emotion (feeling). A mans consciousness, and intelligence is centersd around logic gates, and reasoning. Men are naturally active by nature.
     This is why they say that "a man may build the house, but it is a woman that makes it a home."
The man, by nature, is the active component,  who is supposed to provide the security, as he is the builder. The woman, by nature, is supposed to provide emotion, and feeling. The woman represents imagination, and creativity. The man, represents thinking, calaculating, and building. The Man, and the Woman are capable of providing the exact same sets of attributes, and qualities, but one engenders more of an attribute, and quality than their polar opposite. They are in fact, by nature, both complementary to each other.
   I say this, not to assign gender roles, and divide the sexes, but from a scientifical standpoint, I refer only to our animal nature, as the human psyche is very complex, and can't be classified, or defined using binary absolutes.
Only a sith deals in absolutes!

Super Mario RPG Legend Of The Seven Stars

Maybe it's just because of the nostalgia from my childhood, as I have played a ton of RPG games,  being that they are my favorite genre of video games. I don't think they make role playing games like they used to anymore! Games are made to appeal to a different generation of gamers, there is alot of hand holding these days in video games.
  I still remeber when games where Nintendo hard! No save points, and 30 character alpha numeric passwords, whereas if you miss one character, you mess up the entire save point.
864  Other / Politics & Society / Re: why are people suffering from jealousy ? on: November 11, 2017, 12:36:15 AM
For those familar with the Catholic faith, Envy is one of the seven deadly sins, these seven sins are the root to all other sins. Envy/Jealousy is a strong feeling of discontent, and resentful longing for the possessions of another, be it a physical, material thing, or a quality the person possess, such as luck, love, etc.
  The opposite of Envy is Kindness, and it is one of the 7 virtues. People are envious because of their ego, which is apart of there animal, or carnal desire. What seperates humans from animal intelligence, is the ability to rise above our animal nature which is trapped within 7 folds of sin. In order to do so, one must acquire the attributes of virtue, which are 7 in total. These 7 sins are also the root of evil in the heart of men.

Here is a map key

    Virtues:      V.S.        Sins

1:  chasity        |             lust
2:  temperance|           gluttony
3:  charity.        |             greed
4: diligence.     |            sloth
5: patience.     |             wrath
6: humilty.       |               pride
7: kindness.    |              envy

"Dantes Inferno" incorporates these qualities into a epic, like "Homers Odyssey"

Hello
Welcome to the forum!
  
  It is still very early here in the world of crypto currencies. You are now here, upon what some of us would like to call the "Golden Dawn". Not to long ago, the founder Satoshi Nakamoto, had an idea, and upon this idea, a paper was created, that would lead to an entire paradigm shift within the electronic commerce sector. It would all start with a single rough, and unshaped block, which once polished, would soon produce an entire chain, that would come to be known as the "Blockchain", a freely distributed, and decentralized public ledger, ran from peer to peer, conveying a system of digital mining, by way of solving cryptographic hashes, rewarding it's workers with a proof of payment, in the form of a digital coin. To those who understood the projects significance, knew a new gold rush was about to take place...
    Anyone with who happened to have spare computing power, and was generous, could participate, but this network would need some time to grow, and was quite far from public adoption.
   Fast foward to today...
   The Blockchain is being massively adopted around the world, even some centralized commerce prospects have taken way, utilizing the Blockchain technology. Big household names in the financial sector have begin adopting,  and even parliament and regulatory bodies have set forth guideposts to help those of us who are lost in this vast legal sea.
  It is good that you have an early footing in the crypto race. It really isn't too late as of yet, but when the average consumer whose tech illiterate begins to adopt crypto currencies, many people would have already greatly profited, of what will soon be a further centralization, of a decentralized world.
   The next step is to follow the community closely,  because their are a countless number of projects being created reguarding crypto currencies.  If you're looking to diversify your portfolio, then check out some of the sub-forums on the Bitcointalk board. Not all projects require an initial investment, their are some campaigns who create bounties for bounty hunters, usually rewarding crypto coins as payment for participation.  I'm sure you've seen a few signatures of the members of forum, but what you may, or may not have know is, many recieve payment for the advertisement.
     Their are many ways to build your portfolio without spending anything, albeit time, and energy. It would be best to do a little bit of research, and check out each section of the forum, as their is a wealth of information here, as this is probably the biggest crypto coin related forum on the internet. Happy trails!
866  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is bitcoin dragging the whole altcoin market down? on: November 10, 2017, 10:00:36 PM
Altcoins are directly dependent upon Bitcoin, in order to survive. You can't just sell altcoins and convert them directly into fiat, unless of course, you're lucky enough to know someone who's looking. It's just not optional at the moment, so in order to cash out you altcoins, you must use a medium of exchange. You must trade your altcoins for etheruem, or Bitcoin, with Bitcoin being the main medium of exchange. Once you obtain the Bitcoins, then you can  convert your Btc, or ethereum into fiat.
     When the Bitcoin price falls, usually a majority of the altcoins price falls as well. People sell off their stake of altcoins in order to profit before the price of Bitcoin falls any further. If you can't convert Bitcoin into fiat, you won't make any profit, and so because Bitcoin is the go-to medium, in order to cash out into fiat, people will short their stake and get out soon, intead of risking a huge loss, being that Bitcoin is highly volatile, and affects other coins. So when you see Bitcoin rise in price, altcoins usually rise along with it. It's all supply and demand. If Altcoins had an option to convert directly to fiat, the price of Bitcoins rise, or fall, wouldn't directly have a huge impact upon altcoins. Unfortunately,  theres not really any option but to trade for Bitcoin in order to cash out.
   Bitcoin acts as a pillar of stability for all other coins. As Bitcoin thrives, and more people start adopting it, the market volume grows, and naturally people will start to pick up altcoins. If Bitcoin falls, and less people become involved,  people won't have much faith in altcoins, and their prices will fall.
The more people demanding Bitcoin, the more likely some will invest into altcoins as well. Boom, or bust! After all, Bitcoin is the standing column,  and foundation for todays crypto currencies,  if Bitcoin fails, and an alternative doesn't arise that can take its place, then all other altcoins will fail as well.
      So lets hope that Bitcoin continues to become massively adopted,  and accepted,  because the future of modern crypto currencies depends on it.
867  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Sell BTC and BCH and go all in alts? on: November 10, 2017, 12:40:10 PM
Every Alt-coin has it's market volume, and price directly affected by the volatility of Bitcoin's market volume and price. Bitcoin is what gives stability to all the other coins, including Etheruem, partly because Bitcoin is the foundation atop which all other coins have been built.
    She is the Archetype principia, from her, all other coins where made after her likeness, and in her image. Therefore if Bitcoin falls, the rest will shortly follow. It will be so, until someones creates an alternative that supercedes all others, including Bitcoin herself!
868  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who uses myetherwallet? on: November 10, 2017, 12:08:05 PM
Myetherwallet is probably the best wallet for ethereum, because it allows you to verify all tokens owned, without any hassle. Most ethereum wallets don't natively support all of the various Erc20, and other types of ether based tokens. Myetherwallet works right out of the box, and provides you with many options to secure, and access your account.
    They only thing it doesn't provide is common sense, seeing as how people keep falling for the social engineering tactics used to scam them out accessing their own wallets. Never willful hand over your provide key to anyone,  and never access your wallet using hylerlinks period.
   Always remember to check the address bar for a secured connection, because most scammers utilize fake 1:1 copies of websites to take login information. It's called social engineering for a reason!
In social engineering,  you willing provide your own credentials to a hacker through debauchery. Many will pretend to a representative of a company, or an authority figure.  Cool
869  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICOs Are Biggest Scam Ever on: November 10, 2017, 11:48:58 AM
It's very biased to say that all ICO's are scams. It comes off as bitter, and resentful, most likely due to ignorance,  or a suffered lose of investment. There are many scams within this sector, as to be expected, but there are also many legit companies who are trying to find good grounding as a startup company. After all, Rome wasn't built in a day's time, and the same could be said of any startup without a solid foundation.
    It's best to practice due diligence,  before embarking upon an initiative to invest. You should never invest more than what you can afford to lose. People are blinded by the Bitcoin stories of early investors becoming Lamborghini owners overnight, and throw all of their savings into a company who may very well, never get off of the ground, in a greedy attempt to get rich.
    If you search the boards here, especially within the altcoin section, you will find a never ending list of ICO companies. It is very hard to parse through the legit startups, from the scams. It really doesn't matter, if your going to invest, it's your job to research as much as possible. If you're unsure of investing, but really interested in a startup company, then you need to find out if they offer bounties, the only investment thereof,  is time, and energy. In the end, it's you're call!
870  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Vs Deep Onion on: November 01, 2017, 06:27:48 PM
I love both Bitcoin and Deep Onion.  They are my two favorite coins.  Here is why:

Bitcoin
  • Largest market cap;
  • Most stable of all cryptos;
  • Most trusted;
  • Most likely to succeed.

DeepOnion
  • Most potential due to its coming DeepSend feature which will be the most secure and private form of crypto transfers as its built on the TOR-Network;
  • Even more potential because it's working on its own smart contract platform that other cryptos can build upon;
  • Low market cap - relatively unknown crypto but word is spreading fast;
  • Most likely to pull a 100x increase;
  • Great community and devs.

DeepOnion and Bitcoin are very different and serve different purposes.  I think they compliment each other nicely.
Just don't be nieve enough to be left holding the bag.  Roll Eyes
Only a matter of time before it's abandoned and left for dead. I was once apart of the hype, then I was removed without cause. Then other members with high ranks were also removed, with little to no explanation. Then it hit me, you may not see it just yet, but when you do, get out while you still can!
871  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Money can buy happiness? on: October 31, 2017, 08:20:09 PM
not at all. Happiness does not depend on money. It is more like a psychological thing which is more connected to the human minds. Don't you think so?
No amount of money can buy you a peace of mind. What good is temporary happiness if there is an uneasy feeling settling in the back of your mind? The same can be said as far as love is concerned. Money can buy whatever you desire,  but can never buy you love, or a peace of mind.
Without a peace of mind, your happiness will only be temporal. Without love, your lust can only take you so far, you can pay him/her to please you, but you can't pay them to love you. Love, and peace of mind can only be obtainly genuinely,  and truthfully.
   Money does make the world turn, but the act of bartering, which money rests it's foundation upon will always fall short because of vanities emptiness.
872  Other / Off-topic / Re: How to get girls when you're not handsome? on: October 28, 2017, 04:46:19 PM
You buy them!  Wink
I mean, their going to cost you money either way, you mind as well be up front about it, but If your looking for love, then money can't buy you any I'm afraid. Women aren't capable of love, but men are. Women want security, not love, that's why you see unattractive rich men with models. First get the money, then the women will come to you like flys on shit.
   It's hard wired into a human womans natural chemistry to go for the alpha male, he's the big strong buck who is most suitable to carry children (not really), but thats our primitive animal nature. Men are attracted to women because of the curves, big bussom, and child bearing hips. The women represents a circle, the man a square. That's as simple as I can explain it without breaking the law of concealment.
873  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Which bounty campaign i should join ? on: October 28, 2017, 04:27:46 PM
What are you looking to earn, tokens, Btc, or ethereum?
Most campaigns pay in tokens, others pay in Btc, few in ethereum. The really good campaigns are for full members and up. Heros and legendary members can make $400-$500 a month with just a signature campaign, but it varies.  
    It is best to research the company that is offering the bounty, to see if it is promising or not.
Most people won't tell you information about a bounty, because usually the less people participating, the higher the stake will be worth when it's time for your payout. I had no clue about bounties until I scoured the forums for a job, and boom,  their is a hell of a lot of opportunities available here. I won't say too much, but I'll say this, work on increasing your rank to at least senior status.
    Avatar and signature campaign provides you with two sources for income.
Their are other ways to get paid, you don't have to join a signature,  or avatar campaign to make profit.
Best to do your due diligence before joining a campaign though! The best camapigns are for seniors and higher. When you become a senior,  you unlock special privileges. Happy bounty hunting!

If you have a smart phone (Android, or Apple) every time you download an app, you give consent to give access away to certain aspects you may consider privacy.

875  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Future Social Media ? on: October 27, 2017, 09:40:16 PM
There are so many social media's available now a days. You may have heard or used ORKUT and Twoo. When they were started people were saying these are the best social media platform but when Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, Telegram and Insta etc came into the market they rocked or you can say change the era of social media.
What do you think these are the best and last social media??? Or in some year we will have another social media ?
The technology is getting better, and more affordable these days. Of course the social media giants of today could be replaced. The scope is always changing, and unless a company is willing to adapt to the needs of society,  as well as inovate, then some other will rise in its place, and get the job done.
   What social media needs is a better interface. Something more immersive than point and click. Also, a way for people to express emotion better, than just an emoji. Facebook has the Occlous Rift, and vr will be a game changer in the future. The goal would be to make it more compact and user friendly, maybe a virtual conference or play room, to meet with and interact with people online?
876  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Sick of ICOS! 99% of them are not worth the investment! Share your opinion ;) on: October 27, 2017, 09:01:14 PM
Hi everybody,
I would like to talk with you about ICOS and how i realised that investing in them it's not a good move anymore.
Here's why : the 99% of ICOS once are over and coins/tokens are listed on exchanges they tend to lose their value reaching the most of the times a lower price than the original ICO price, resulting this way a very bad investment for the ones who actually joined the ICO.
I came to the conclusion that the best thing to do is not to invest in Icos and wait for the coins/tokens to be listed on exchanges and buy them on the very first hours that they are released on the market.
What do you guys think about that? Do u still think that ICOs can be a good investment or you agree with me?
Let me know  Wink

Your being impatient, because if you follow the market for crypto currencies,  you would understand that the market is similar in ways resembling the stock exchange.  Ethereum, as well as any other bitcoin alternatives,  have their price affected directly according to the volatility of Bitcoin.
   Tokens are a relatively new phenomenon in the crypto world, and you must allow time for the company behind each token to grow. In other words, it's too soon to pass judgement without waiting to see what direction a company is heading. Token prices are low because  people are massively selling them off, before giving a company a fair chance to grow. There are so many shitcoins, that all ICOs are catching negative feedback. Some ICOs are definitely a scam, but there are somenreally good startup companies out there, it's best to research a startup company thoroughly before passing judgment,  or investing. If your lookingnto get rich quick overnight,  there's a very strong chance that you won't.
877  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: All my tokens in MEW stolen! on: October 27, 2017, 08:45:50 PM
Are you sure that the coins are gone?
  Did you know that the nodes that display token balances are few in number due to the influx of new erc20 coins being created. Be sure to check ethplorer using your ethereum address,  because you may still have your tokens. Myetherwallet doesn't show the balance of your wallet all of the time, like I said before, due to a limited number of available nodes on the network.
     Is your original etheum still in your wallet, because tokens can't be moved without gas?
878  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Looking for best ICO on: October 25, 2017, 06:34:29 PM
I always take a look at new projects, cause they need to distinguish among 1 million other ones, so they innovate something new/
This I can say about Confideal, guys doing really good by far


No one person can determine the value an ICO holds. It's best to research the company,  and see how much time and effort is being put into their project. Check out the credentials of the developers, and make sure their is some degree of transparency with their identities.
   Make sure the project has a roadmap that looks relatively achievable. See if they offer a proof of concept model, or an infograpic regarding their project. Be sure to check for their white paper, and make sure it's understandable. If the ICO is celebrity endorsed, theres a good chance the projector is legit, because a well known public figure usually wouldn't intentionally involve their selves within a multi million dollar scam, though it happens.
   Does the project offer some sort of innovation? Ask questions,  because a closed mouth doesn't get fed. Does the ICO comply with financial law, and regulations? Is the company licensed?
Follow the project closely to be sure before investing.
879  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's an Airdrop? on: October 25, 2017, 06:06:22 PM
An airdrop is supposed to be a community based distribution of crypto currencies,  usually meant to provide the early adopters, and community supporters with a Bitcoin alternative that is an honest and an open effort to build together with a community. Sometimes there is big innovation involved, more often then not, just clone coins.
   What airdrops are turning out to be as of today...
A nightmare, where tokens, and coins are instamined, where a huge chunk is reserved for the developers, meanwhile the community and it's closest supporters may get a chance to share in on the some of the action, usually unsuspectingly, and some knowingly, await for the final phase of what will turn out to be a scheme. The coin/token is pumped viciously,  causing artificial inflation, and then of course dumped for Bitcoin. Honest members of the community, a bunch of newbs, and a few greedy people are left holding the bag full of emptiness. All the promising features the roadmap covered, left unfulfilled, never to be mentioned again.
  The few on top of the pyramid will buy new lambos, rinse and repeat. This is the reason a major crackdown will come, because the greed. The more money involved, the more problems our crypto world faces. After Mt. Gox, many of us knew that it was only the beginning of the underhanded business that would take place within the community.
   Now, not all airdrops are dubious, with malevolent intentions, but just remember to practice your due diligence, and never give out your private key ever. Happy coin hunting to all!
880  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: irs and coinbase on: October 22, 2017, 02:07:06 PM
There used to be lots of talks about the irs cracking down on coinbase accounts. Is there anything new on this? Did someone get fined or arrested?

Did anything happen?
As of now, their hasn't been any major crackdowns upon tax evasion for bitcoin, and crypto currencies alike. In the future, the regulations that will be put into affect, will act as a map for legal guidance concerning tax compliancy, and many other financial related policies.
   Coinbase was subpoenaed to hand over tax information of all account holders with $20,000 dollars or more in bitcoin related transactions. Whether or not that makes others acount holders who fall under this amount in total transactions exempt, is quite questionable. The best advice to give you, would be to follow the crypto related news outlets, and other mediums of media quite carefully. Regulations will come about gradually (slowly but surely)!
  For now, researcher the previous entries of regulation, and policy by checking places like coindesk.com, etc.
