Perhaps my view is distorted, but to me, Bitmit was the main btc-to-physical-goods marketplace. Now that it's shutting down, where will all of the sellers/buyers go? Is there a viable competitor, or is there now an opening for such a site?

The term "terrorism" is...not useful to me.
But yeah, Fawkes was just some random Catholic that wanted a Catholic England. Not an anarchist or anything special, just some violent fool.
The Time Warner appreciation masks are a whole other story.

I've been playing around with this idea for a while, and I wanted to see what you all thought before I put too much time into it.
Essentially Yandex/Play/whathaveyou, but using Bitcoin as currency. Ideally it would be an independent store, but most likely it will wind up being a proxy to buy from the other major stores.

Would anyone use this? Would it still be worth it with the possible (at least, initially) limited selection of an independent store, or would it have to include third-party products?

Happy to help. I quite enjoy your work.

Yes, all of the world's problems could be solved, if only the two parties could get along.
Everything would be just perfect if there were only one party, wouldn't it?

It would take a while for me to find the post again, but the most salient argument I've heard against voting amounted to the fact that every time the voter participation rate in a country went below something like 20%, the country was just about guaranteed to have a revolution either in immediate response or pretty shortly thereafter. It's a vote of no confidence, and apparently it does count.

don't they?

I pledge allegiance, who art in heaven
of the hallowed states of name.
Thy will be republic, in earth as it stands for heaven.
One day our daily bread, and forgive us our god.
Indivisible, them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into liberty and justice for all,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power,
and the glory,
for ever and ever.

Sure, but it's a protractor with a picture of a football on it!

I'm sure this thread will soon be full of lies and slander (or is it libel?), but I generally make the assumption that:

• 50% have no formal training and generally don't know what the foolishness they're talking about,
• 25% have no formal training, but have made enough of a hobby of it to know quite a bit,
• 20% have taken one or two intro Economics classes and know enough to pass for formally educated if no one's looking too closely (hi there!)
• 2.5% have taken one or two intro classes that went in one ear and out the other, yet think they are infallible, and
• 2.5% have some kind of degree or significant experience.

Qualification: all of these are wrong.

You know what Futurama screenshot is in my head right now.

Do these exist yet? Are you taking orders? Where?

Nothing says foreplay like a long and tedious drunken explanation of what a Bitcoin is.

I can certainly see the possibility of single actors buying up btc on the side as a speculative endeavor. However, the idea that said actor will use their media strings to promote it is extremely unlikely to me, as their risk (attack from other influentials, possible social/financial ostracism, assassination if one wants to don that cap) far outweighs the potential benefit (a nebulous amount of one-time profit that may or may not be greater than what they make off of the current system).

Your theory is correct qualitatively, I just disagree on a quantitative basis. I don't think that anyone with enough power to do what you describe would make more from doing so than from continuing on as they are.

2.1 BTC is already named, I'm afraid: Hitler Club. (www.youtube.com/watch?v=4axmD2YvPnA)
As far as naming, trying to label them all top-down like this isn't going to stick. You have to go make kooky videos about it or something, have some kind of twisted logic to back up the significance of the number. Plus, I'm not a big fan of knights, or clubs. Though, it *would* be fun to call XXXXX BTC the "Club of Rome" just so I could convince certain segments of the population that I was a reptoid.

1. This isn't really any different than the rest of the diamond charts.
2. For some reason, the question-maker is under the impression that corporatism is a part of libertarianism.

The conspiracy language isn't relevant to the main point, so I'll sidestep that.

More to the point: do people really think .gov gives a flying fuck about a petition? Has any petition to congress/president/judges/pta-moms ever actually accomplished anything beyond telling the petitionees precisely who thinks what? The website isn't there to change anything; it's there for data collection.

Perhaps...mostly the types of people that think gold/silver and bitcoin are diametrically opposed for all eternity.

How exactly does one do it? I spend too much time with the metals magpies trying to get them to understand that "intrinsic value" is an oxymoron. It's physically painful.

It had nothing to do with the content of your post. They auto-ban for caps.
