It is absolutely 100% guaranteed that governments and large corporations will go after Bitcoin in whatever ways they can. Did anyone honestly not know this when they first invested? It's exactly what you signed up for. This is going to keep happening, over and over and over again.

Winner. /thread We agree again. This could turn into a dangerous habit.  |

myrkul what do you think about compiling a list of police to be prosecuted some day should we ever realize a just society? We could use a wiki for the community to come to gather in order to build a case. Each page of the wiki would be dedicated to a particular cop and list all of the evidence against him/her. Sounds like a good idea, these guys may be your best bet to get it done: http://www.copblock.org/sorry i am unfamiliar with the term "dox information"
Name, address, Phone number, etc. My opinion on that is: If it's public information, it's public information. |

We're just waiting on you and Cameltoemcgee.
Cameltoemcgee can't play any more. I killed him, remember? In all honesty, if he doesn't reply soon, we may have to move on without him, with me taking his place. I should have specified a time limit for replies.  |

There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to — Bitcointalk.org.
No, but seriously, those features were too CPU-intensive, and were removed.

I'd agree that all the inclinations from the left and liberal progressives would be to act indignant for a while, then let it be forgot, while if it were a Republican or conservative politician or public figure who had done something wrong, then for the very slightest or alleged wrong, the exact reverse would be done.
I don't have much love for democrats or republicans. I'm a libertarian AnCap. Your claim that if it were a republican or conservative politician has been thoroughly disproven during the Bush years. How many people went to jail for torture? For illegal phone wiretapping? I would actually claim the opposite, that Democrats get scrutinized WAY more than Republicans, for the simple fact that, while left-leaning news organizations at least attempt to show themselves as balanced, Republicans have practically all of radio and a well established news organization that blatantly and proudly parades itself as a part of the Republican party. Just based on the number of people screaming at each other in public, the number screaming at Democrats is higher. And neither party shies away from doing illegal things to undermine their opponents, or from trying to take away personal liberties, and neither party is interested in jailing their own. Of course continuing a barrage of insinuation that the tea party members were lower than dirt, stupid and ignorant and so forth would assist in this methodology.
There is only one group of people I really dislike, and that's conservatives. I mean that by the actual definition of the word, not as a political label. Religious nutcases, communists, status-quo democrats, fundamentalists, social-issues Republicans, and yes, Tea Party. Fuck all those people. I know there's that "first they came for..." , and freedom of speech thing though, but it's hard to defend the freedom of those assholes, when their purpose is to deny everyone else freedom. Ok with me, as I fall into the 'fiscal conservative' category and don't have a lot of interest in most social issues. But the use of the term 'conservative' as used today with respect to the IRS targeting of groups is certainly not aligned with your personal definition. There we go! Goddam that was hard to parse. |

Speculators who are in it soley to make themselves more USD are pumping capital into btc infrastructure. They'll realize their error.
You assume that it is an error. I do. If they aren't putting those extra dollars back into getting bitcoins, I imagine that they must eventually change their minds or keep using fiat until they come around. Im assuming that the dollar is dying, of course. Its only an error if they sell out of btc. Reread. Sounded like I meant pumping capital is error. did not mean that... OH! Yeah, I get it. I first read it like myrkul, thinking you were saying that the error was "speculators who are just in it to make themselves more money." The error you were talking about was specifically those speculators thinking that USD is where they should be making their money, i.e. that BTC is a way to get rich in USD, when those speculators should buy into BTC and STAY in BTC. Speculating has no value if you don't trade back and forth. I think the error is that they use BTC to gain value trading back to USD, when they should be using BTC to gain value in-and-of itself and trade for goods and services. Basically, it sounds like a different take on "cashing out of BTC is a stupid idea, akin to cashing out of dollars" Well, I agree that ending the back and forth with a pile of BTC > ending the back and forth with a pile of $, but we can't really judge people's economic actions without asking, "did you make a profit?" Profit = success, loss = failure. Now, if the dollar devaluating erases all their profits, well, that's a loss, now, isn't it? (Same could be said, however, if BTC crashes.) |

What to make of it?
Form letter, your congresscritter probably was never even aware you sent the message in the first place, and wouldn't care if they did. Al your dataz are belong to them. Well, I got 1 reply before this that was definitely a robo letter. This one is probably written up by a staffer to all the ppl who wrote on behalf on this bill. Possibly the same staffer that actually read the bill. But probably not. |

I would say the second is diplomacy. As long as there are other Governments. The free nation would need to be represented towards them through a single entity. This is a good point, but what purpose would a diplomat serve? I mean, foreign policy could be summed up in a press release: "We'll trade with anyone who comes in peace, and woe betide any who come in war." Hm, if you put it that way, it sounds like a job a answering machine could do: Thanks for your call, a government representative is currently not available.
If you want to trade press 1
If you want to declare war press 2
If you want to wait until a representative is available press 3 we have 12580 Hours of jingle music available to keep you entertained while you wait. *1* Thank you for choosing Trade. Just bring your shipment into one of our conveniently located ports, and our representatives will be glad to assist you. *2* We're sorry to hear that you've decided to declare war on us. Please record a message after the beep, which will be broadcast to all our militias. Please be advised that some of them do have rather advanced weaponry. *BEEP* *3* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLDKnWi2hNA  |

<Sticky: One word per post!>
Once upon a time, there was a Jesus. She walked out unadorned. Then, as bagpipes blared and didgeridoos fell, the star exploded.
Enter the vassals, creating comically obscene gestures with cryptocurrencies. Jesus cried!
Andy B. Casagrande immortalized the scene with photography. Space robots had been shoving corn vicariously into other crevices, hoping that Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis... perhaps silicosis, or QueerOsis, or trees could accomplish impossible synchronizations.
Fifteen wishes weren't exceptionally productive. She touched herself vigorously with tremendous pillows; creaming out butter flavored LiteCoins. Ironically, Bitcoins never lowered the dust limit so that Luke-Jr would be anally probed by martians invading us to steal our fish for little did we know, Fish is the solution to all our global problems! Seamen relentlessly fapped out the next generation of ASICS which actually works without any electricity at all. Powered by shipwrecks, signals meant that mermaids knew cryptographic encryption algorithms' weaknesses in theory but, in reality, Rpietila gave all.
Thursday passed without BFL taking the biggest shit, which when combined with their largest fanboy, Atlas, every miner stabbed Satoshi irregardless. Meanwhile, trolls eating crow poop, crow testicles, and God's vagina laughed.
Artichokes roasted sweetly over flaming gays, joyfully prepared numerously spiced blockchains sacrificing virgins disregarding matter. Therefore Jesus announced peasantry raping holidays. Upon reflection, Jesus quixotically decided retroactively somewhere in Reptilia's bosom to fuck an ant hill and myrkul touched himself feverishly ravishing all pillows! Lophie touched electrically his "contacts", pondering why her earlobes looked so tasty dipped in mustard sauce from Meze's toilet. Meanwhile, under scrutiny from DHS, MTGox got DDOS'ed by CIA bots, Chinese pygmies licked thousands, drooling custard from cracks forgone.
Alas, we combusted gloriously into eternity with

Not run by them but seriously influenced. If millionaires formed a political party, they would have the overwhelming majority of Congress, the Judiciary and the Presidency.
Hah, they're not that stupid. They have *two* political parties and all of the rest. True - the one big objection to democracy is that people often end up choosing between ways to make the rich richer rather than to level the playing field. And the biggest fault with "leveling the playing field" is that it's generally done in accordance with the Japanese proverb: 出る杭は打たれる。 Literally: The stake that sticks out gets hammered down. |
