I read about cases of old people being attacked and killed in their homes, because the robbers hoped to find some money in the house. They ended up with just a few bills, the money you can earn in a month. These things happen because people are worse than animals and a life is sometimes worth to them less than $100.

Bitcoins are becoming more and more like cash and will be stolen the way cash is - up close and personal.

Can I stream the game to my pc from the ps4?

Correct me if i'm wrong but no. Sony has blocked this and the only way to stream is directly from PS4 through an online site like twitch.

If you have PS3 you can use blackmagic.

My girlfriend has 6 bitcoins. Acquired them when they were around 50-60. She isn't the shopaholic type though and doesn't need/want to spend them.

ask them to give them to me actually I dno why she is dating a noob like u

At least that noob took the time to write a proper sentence, starting with a capital letter and ending with a period. I don't think people who write "dno" instead of "don't know" have a chance with her Wink

you'll be rich

don't let money change you

He's already rich if he can afford buying 100BTC. At least in my view. I'd be happy to have 10.

I always find it funny when people complain about other people paying taxes when you know they're paying it themselves. I also always imagine they're typing this from an iPhone sitting in Starbucks on their work break  Cheesy.

Yeah. nobody likes to pay taxes but playing the victim while using all the benefits of taxation does not make one look like a hero.  Americans are enjoying the safest times in all of human history. People were never this free in history nor as able to enjoy longevity and relative peace. Yet somehow they think that they are being oppressed by participating.

Well I've had the displeasure of living in some of the shitiest, war torn, armpits of this planet. Places with an actual anarchy. You would not like them. A lot of kids in the U.S. seem to think they would be free in an anarchy. But there is no freedom in anarchy for anyone but the strongest. You would wake up to that the day a militia shows up to take everything you have and put you to work in the mine. Then you would be like Police! Police! Someone come save me!

There's a difference between honest taxes and cruel ones. I'd call 10% of income an honest tax, but paying 20% + another 20% vat, like we do in Europe is a theft and slavery. I'm not against paying my share, but i'm not going to give away half of what I'm earning to the government. And no, not all of us are paying taxes, some are avoiding them, just like not all of us are respecting the law.

Other nato members are doing even worse Wink Germany at least have one of the best tanks in the world.
Honestly an all out world conflict is not possible with todays weaponry. It would've ended up in a nuclear winter, so countries are rather focusing on special forces.

to look East, as always... And when you will start to engage them, there you will have backing, from the REAL MAINLAND. there is no other path against the "west"... lol. Warmongers, destroyers of the food supply, annihilators of cultures, supporter and defenders of the ctrl+p team. And if you don't you will get wiped out, because how could THE REAL MAINLAND WHERE THE SUN EARTH AND STARS INTERESECT allowed the US to start their pivot to encircle and dominate the Land of the Free... Be aware Amerikis, everyone is NATIVE, fully, the Path can attest, there... not like you and your eyes Cheesy.

Serious question: drunk, high or trolling? I remember Dank used to write gibberish like this.

EU should be dissolved, it brings nothing to the table. Each country should protect their own borders and have its own laws instead of having them imposed by a superior government.

this thread should be moved to the off-topic section.
Stop whining and learn to hug.

911  Economy / Economics / Re: why do people agree to pay taxes? on: February 19, 2015, 09:40:14 PM
I think most people don't agree, they are forced to comply. It's either that or fines and then jail. Goverments are like leeches, but unlike leeches bite back when you try to shake them off.

Homemade hamburger every time, but if i'm to eat out, then pizza.

Not much to talk about. More coins change hands every day if you count all exchanges in the world and nobody makes a fuss.
915  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why does it cost more to rent a car than a house? on: February 19, 2015, 07:31:20 PM
That house looks like it's worth $500. I can make that by hand in 1 day.

I'd like to see you do it. I'd even pay $500 if you managed to pull it out.

My girlfriend likes to play computer games and sometimes buys something from humblebundle site. I told her I'll pay for her games if she starts paying with bitcoin. Now she has games for free and I can brag I introduced her to BTC Grin
917  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is the best bitcoin casino? on: February 19, 2015, 07:21:40 PM
I tried coinroyale once and it was nice, fortunejack is also very good. We are talking about casinos of course not sites hosting 1 game like primedice.
918  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is it the right time to invest on BTC on: February 19, 2015, 07:19:44 PM
This is either an amazing opportunity to buy, or is the fall of bitcoin and it will disappear.
I personally lean very much on the first option Wink

Until Bitcoin hits $0, it's an amazing opportunity to buy.   Wink

We're still somewhere in the Early Adopter Phase, trying to get out of the chasm, and inching towards Early Majority:

I would argue here. If bitcoin goes back to low prices like $20 or something it will most likely by on its way to 0 and I wouldn't invest at that point. A technology like that has to gain ground an value over time, it can do it fast or slow, it doesn't matter, but if it continues to lose value it won't succeed.

920  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is all the bad news actually good for us? on: February 18, 2015, 01:46:17 PM
Bitcoin price seems to be random. Big news like retail stores accepting BTC in 2014 didn't stop the down trend but rather fueled it. On the other hand big exchange hacks in 2015 didn't manage to stop the recent climb.
