If you're earning wages and paying into social security, you're already getting fooled. The con is just longer, but the basic principle is exactly the same.
mind=blown. I hadn't thought of it in those exact terms before. I knew SSI was BS, but I hadn't made a connection to it being an actual Ponzi. That's exactly what it is, though, isn't it? If obligations are paid with later deposits, that's a damn Ponzi. Hey... I don't suppose you can cash out all your SSI benefits all at once? welcome to the red pill brother

The two terms have been largely the same in the minds of the general public for decades.
It's just been awhile since I've seen it in American media. It's usually a European thing with left-wing Anarchists and not this new breed of fiscally conservative, Constitutional-Anarchists. lol old news

In a hundred years, or two hundred, future historians will note the last several decades as the era when the United States impoverished itself to catapult the rest of the world into the modern age.
I am pretty sure that ,to the contrary, history will reflect that, post WWII, American Corporate interests dealt themselves the best hand ever and used American military power to maintain colonial hegemony over much of the globe, placing and supporting many well documented brutal dictatorships in the process. But hey, tell yourself whatever happy stories make you sleep better. It also helps to repeat "they hate us for our freedoms, they hate us for our freedoms" over and over

BFL may well be delayed getting actual product in the hands of miners
You have some awesome gaming rigs when they become unprofitable to mine with

Aha, very well, your SAE is actually a bit more than a dollar, and I will admit to being pedantic.
I am interested to know how you think the current debt load is going to be repaid?
Simple. Inflation. The dollar has lost 99% of it's value over the last 80 years. It will lose that much over the next 80. $15T is only $150M in real terms if the dollar devalues 99% over the next 80 years. That was my point, and kjj agrees. He just somehow sees the USD surviving it.

so OP, are you telling us that they told YOU after October?

Painfully obvious inflation mostly, obscured slightly by bogus statistics. The usual. Remember that the debt in question is denominated in a currency that we can print at will (and have!). The repayment amount isn't a fixed value, but a fixed quantity.
Who would buy or hold a debt like that? Turns out that everyone does, because the alternatives are mostly worse. That may change in the next 20 years, maybe it will even be Bitcoin that brings the system down. But those are both long shots.
The alternatives are mostly worse...for now. I see other world powers losing patience with the fed's monopoly on, and inevitable devaluation of their holdings. Being "the best looking horse at the glue factory" is no way to run a world reserve currency. Already China, India, Russia and others are making noises about some "basket of commodities" system. Once the rush to get out begins I just don't see how the dollar survives. This is curious; we seem to largely agree on the facts of the matter but have come to diametrically opposed conclusions. Except that being the world's reserve currency isn't a gift, it is a burden. A huge fucking burden. The price that the USA has paid over the last 40 or 50 years to support, build and rebuild the world is mind boggling. Only in flawed economic thinking is it a burden. The Triffin dilemma is based on one of the greatest misconceptions in modern-day economics: "a trade deficit is bad". The USA has been a hungry importer, receiving a huge influx of useful goods, lasting commodities, and safe securities in exchange for its depreciating, produced-on-demand USD, all because it owns the world's reserve currency. further, all oil transactions occurring in USD is a HUGE boon to the US banking industry

- No certain delivery dates.
yeah, they fucked this up last time so they are reluctant to make promises this time and blow it again - No pictures or schemes or anything.
they are literally sitting on a gold mine, that IP is going to be very closely guarded - Very limited information (actually there is no information on the ASICs).
see above - No one answers their phone.
see their FAQ - They answer your e-mail within 2-3 weeks.
they answered my last email the next day - All their answers are with a maybe or possibly.
see the first point - I never got it why are BITCOIN payments preferred.
duh, they want to promote bitcoin - The broke the law of e-bay - 2 months to appeal and ask for a refund with their 2 to 4 to 6 months delivery - maybe.
?? - They are a business registered in Massachusetts on the name of some Mexican woman.
because no Hispanic people live in Massachusetts - They are playing with millions yet their website is made with WordPress.
and? - Up to today no one has either seen, touched or heard their ASICs. (even remotely)
see point 2
