1301  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will people who ban Bitcoin in some countries give up Bitcoin? on: July 10, 2021, 04:47:54 AM
Some countries now ban the use of Bitcoin, or banks restrict cryptocurrency transactions, resulting in an increase in the number of long-term Bitcoin holders.
For example, in China, China prohibits the use of Bitcoin. If I were Chinese, I might be more anxious. Some ways can be found to avoid being caught by the Chinese government. I will consider putting it in a cold wallet. In this case, you can only choose to hold for a long time. After all, there is no exchange to trade,
So will anyone give up Bitcoin?
When bitcoin first time covered $17k then china government banned bitcoin but when bitcoin again contracted $61k then china government again banned bitcoin and bitcoin mining. Just wait and see what would be happened in future.

In cryptocurrencies world, 300 millions people (among from 730 cores) directly and indirectly aware about online virtual cryptos. But In my country more than 3% people are  know about cryptocurrency. I am sure in the future if cryptocurrency existing,then all classes of people would know about bitcoin and others cryptocurrencies.
1303  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why some millionaires hate Bitcoin? on: July 10, 2021, 04:27:30 AM
1. Warren Buffett doesn't understand technology
2. Donald Trump clearly said that Bitcoin is a risk to the USD
3. A lot of rich people(or people in general that aren't poor) think Bitcoin is unnecessary because they're privileged. They think Bitcoin is unnecessary because they're and their country is doing fine (at least as of now); completely ignoring other people living in communist and far more corrupt countries.
Warren buffett a gentleman who the one of the richest man in the world but you can't tell him a person who don't know about bitcoin. But he has another issues to not invest in cryptocurrencies. Donald trump not agree with cryptocurrency because he doesn't like air thin money.

1305  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM] BT user zolace on: October 01, 2014, 03:25:54 PM
So let me get this straight. Zolace gave someone the wrong address for payment and he's now refusing to refund the buyer?

Seems also zolace has several accounts: latinna, umair127 and probably noviapriani. He sent me PM by mistake from umair127 instead of zolace and replied "Never mind ..." in 30 sec from zolace account.


Interesting. It's quite obvious just from mere observation that noviapriani, umair127, sana8410, Rigon and more recently
Mr Bitty all belong to the same person and I guess it now makes sense that zolace is the guy behind them all.

Edit: Confirmed alts:


Zolace got greedy. No idea why he would try scam for such a relatively small amount when he must've been making some serious coin chatting away to himself.

Also, called it earlier:

When you eliminate a source of knowledge…You become an idiot…People behave the same today as they behaved than, strangely every things the same…Actually one of the best arguments against evolution is the fact that we haven't changed…Still full of greed, envy, all of the vices…Behaviors have remain the same.

My road to belief led to the point that god did not exist.  If god doesn't exist, nothing matters.  Loving, striving, doing the right thing are all purposeless.  There is not enough in any one of them to keep going.  Also, if god doesn't exist, how did everything come to be?  Whatever rationale, god had to have come up with it.  Either evolution, the big bang, no matter what, someone had to have designed it.

Otherwise, why bother.  Let it all hang out.  Anything goes.  You only live once.

What does either of these have to do with what characterizes an atheist? Not to mention they're both pretty naive reasons for belief. Also, it always makes me laugh to see you two 'debating' when you're obviously the same person Roll Eyes.

 Grin
  WTF I am on the list?Huh??    I just saw my neg rating and im being called zolace???

I'm telling you, soylent green may not have been as much of a dystopian future fantasy as we might like to think.
 
Recently read in the Atlantic the 58 year old man whose name I've forgotten an essay on why he doesn't want to live longer than 75 - or, put another way, sees no reason to prolong life much beyond that.  The obvious response is to say "we'll check in with you on that at age 74...".  Lol. 

Ed - link to article above http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2014/09/why-i-hope-to-die-at-75/379329/
That is the architect of Obamcare and it is no secret the model works best when folks don't live much longer than that.   Perhaps this opinion is personal (as of now) or perhaps it is political.  But the general tone of the piece is actually much the same as how I feel, and what I tell my family/friends to the same response he gets.  In short, he is NOT a supporter of euthanasia (nor am I) but rather he intends to not engage in life extending treatments (or preventative screenings) past a certain point and just intends to die of whatever takes him. 


As for the OP link....it's creepy that a couple is giddy planning their deaths.   And it also talks about [already legal] euthanasia for chronically ill children.  Welcome to the slippery slope.
You're right.  He says that he's not certain how he's going to feel when older, but rationally calculating, this is the age he puts as representing the last vigorous or creative years.  Qualifies with recognition there are outliers, the centenarian marathon runner, etc.  Linking with soylent green was misleading though not deliberately so, still, the drift, the general tone seems somehow resonant.  Or maybe it is I think the discourse will encourage a sort of life-negating climate.

All the ones I see the video quality appears to be shit. What do they cost for a decent one? This is a discussion not a 'too cheap' scenario. Spend 10k to not see shit sounds like a bad idea.

Perhaps now would be a reasonable time to begin restricting reentry from high-risk regions, thus discouraging travel. This man probably traveled to Liberia to visit a "sick" relative and was then allowed to board a flight to the US.
1311  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin's "Price" Drop on: October 01, 2014, 09:37:13 AM
far more daily volume are done privately than on bitstampt/btc-e, etc combined. and while the crappy exchanges are falling whilst they play with satoshi dust amounts of $5, the localbitcoins/otc trades are healthily $450-$550


I wish I could sell a bitcoin locally for $550

your not the only wishing so, to sell bitcoins for at least 500 USD,  I think btc priced is way undervalued at this moment.
1312  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Prison for Kicking a Cat? on: September 30, 2014, 07:00:56 PM
I doubt that prison in really in his future--jail, a year or less, is more likely. He won't lose that much time in acquiring whatever skills someone so evidently doltish needs in life, maybe he'll learn a lesson.

At least he won't walk back into million dollar contracts a la Michael Vick--who should still be banned from the NFL.
1313  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Prison for Kicking a Cat? on: September 30, 2014, 06:46:41 PM
People who abuse animals are one step away from doing the same to people. This sick individual took great joy in inflicting serious injury to this cat,  and even went out of his way to lure the cat in to do it. Do I object to jail time for him? Absolutely not - but I do agree that part of his sentence should be public service at an animal shelter - under the closest of supervision, of course.
But even if he did kick someone, the penalty is not a prison term. There is a reason why this country has the most people in the penal system, and the reason is that they do not think that there are alternatives to imprisonment, when to me it is obvious that there are.
yes, if he kicked the cat in the manner described, he should go to prison. People have to be taught--animals are not toys. If a two year old child pulled the dog's tail, that's what parents would tell them; and for the twenty year olds who never learned the lesson, well, they have to learn it.

One of GM's best sedans. It's actually an Opel from Germany with Buick logos on it so it's engineered to a higher degree than the US stuff GM sells.
I went and test drove it and was pretty impressed it could benefit from a little more he but it was still a nice drive. Immaculate condition manual trans shifted smooth and only had 28k miles. Still trying to work the price dealer wants $14500 with a $500dealer fee I don't want to pay the fee.
1315  Other / Off-topic / Re: Conscience on: September 30, 2014, 06:04:02 PM
Actually, did not my questions come first?

But, to answer, biblically, adultery is always wrong.  And, it is deserving of death.  It is not ok now, if that is what you think changed.  What God chooses to do about may have - and there are still consequences to adultery, even if no one else knows but the two involved.

 

Your turn.
I want to know whether the original penalty was right or not. So in your god's eyes it is always moral to stone adulterers?
Jesus said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.".
Obviously he is demonstrating he doesn't know his ass from his elbow....  no one would cast a stone because the mob was equally guilty of "sin" (generic).

Has anyone else experienced this?
I went in to the local IRS office to file and pay my annual taxes.

The lady drew up my SS # and said I had already filed.

I said I had NOT, and she gave me the bogus town I had supposedly filed from. She said they had sent my refund there. I have NEVER received any refund per plan.

I gave her my CPA created tax return and a check for my delta owed, and asked what would happen. She said that two or four agents would go to the bogus address, collect license plate numbers, names from their mailbox, run those names through their system to create a file on the perp.

Once they had all the evidence they needed they would arrest the perp with Fraud charges plus half a dozen others, and take them to trial. She said that unfortunately they would probably be out of prison within a decade.
there is always Karma.  A few years back I had a case of mistaken ident, FUBAR records----  some guy was stopped on a routine traffic stop, gave the cop his DL, which included his name, dob, and pob.  Cop ran W/W and he came up wanted for homicide in state of Washington.  After he was fingerprinted and had spent three days in jail, it turns out he had stolen the identity of someone, got a DL and matching documents, ran up a lot of bills, and the only ID handy when he was stopped was this fraudulent ID.

Actually not a lot except for the past few weeks this same Indian (probably Delhi or Calcutta) man keeps calling me because he doesn't have enough sense to take this landline # off his list.  He can't decide if he's from Microsoft Windows or if he's Robert or Michael or Barbara from one day to the next.  One day he wanted very badly to help me get my government grant.  I think he was Margaret that day. 

I've developed this shtick I do with him and have great fun with it.  I'm the addled man (senior) who is very excited to hear from...Nelson, is it?  bearing gifts and concern.

A few days ago I received a Walmart card good for up to $400.  Got it registered, but don't think I will use it as I don't like making monthly payments.  Then I received a letter from PayPal that said I had asked for $188.11 credit to shop at Walmart.  Fortunately, they refused me.  I called one credit check company who said they would notify the other two and my account now has an "Alert" on it, and none will take any action of sending a credit report until they call me.

I called Walmart and cancelled the card.

I do my shopping on line and wonder if I should also notify anyone else I shop with, like Chewys for my cat food; Montgomery Ward; Penneys; Overstock.  And I pay my bills with my credit card by calling their 800 numbers - telephone, Montgomery Ward, other bills.

Don't accept or follow up on any unsolicited "gifts" from people you don't know.  That's the first thing.  No one just gifts people out of the blue, for no apparent or fathomable reason, especially if they are fronting for a "business".    The problem as I see it is you are naive to a fault, and suspicious always, particularly when you've been had.  You don't have to invite it in, in the first place.  Long way to say if it seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Whenever I seek to verify something from Scripture, I am sooner or later successful.  It is historically accurate, for example.

In addition, it can be tested.  People's lives are changed in a powerful way in trusting in the risen Jesus that does not happen for those who do not trust.
Conscience is evidence that there is a Creator. Unless you are saying right and wrong are subjective.
Apparently not. If there were a "creator" then it would have "created" everything/everyone equal.
The fact that most people ( certainly not all!) have a conscience and the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, but disagree about the existance of this "creator" is evidence of nothing at all.
