Haven't been posting here much recently.. I forgot how many kooks are on this forum  Yeah, we're not invading Russia any time soon.. they have nuclear weapons, you know. Plus you haven't seen developed countries invading each other since WW2. |

bought bitcoin when they were just $3 I bet hes got around 50,000 BTC in his wallet and when the price sky rockets hill be a multitrillionaire eny ho know his btc address?
He announced on March 9, 2013 that he had over $1 million in bitcoins. The price around that time was between $50 and $120. That means that he probably had between 8000 and 20,000 BTC. My guess is closer to 10,000. He might have more now, as a result of his QRK pump-and-dump. As for "his btc address", nobody with a large number of bitcoins stores them all in a single address. Yeah, a lot of bitcoin evangelists were all over his nutts over a year ago when I mentioned that this guy might be a pump and dumper. |

It's a cost that is required, just like the energy it takes to print notes and press coins. You're "wasting" natural resources + electricity.. why aren't we complaining about that too then?

Remember just before the murder he said he had proof that Russia was sending troops to Ukraine. That is how you get shot in Russia. You tell the truth.
I don't think that was the biggest reason why he was killed. What repercussions would Putin have to face if he Nemcov revealed this evidence? We all know he had troops sent to Ukraine.. but that doesn't matter, because he'll just continue to deny it, even if there's irrefutable evidence. Besides that, if Putin cared about that proof so much, he wouldn't have had Nemcov killed because everyone would assume it was by his hands. |

kobe'll be the top scorer. I voted for west.
Kobe is injured Çakır. He's out for at least 9 months. I think they will pick Lillard for substitute. While Lillard is an all around excellent point guard, I don't think that he's as good as Kobe. I think the East will win because of this. He's better than kobe this year. |

Watched interstellar. it was pretty bad.
If some mysterious aliens could drop off a portal that went to a bunch of different habitable planets then you would think they could just save earths climate.
They were not mysterious aliens.. It was explained who those people were. That "mysterious force" came from humans in the future who had access to 5th dimension, which transcended time. |

I couldn't finish gravity.. there was no storyline or scifi that got me interested. I don't get it. Interstellar on the other hand.. probably the best space move I've seen. They actually apply quantum mechanics too.
I like Sandra so the plot was not important.  Really the best space movie? What about Space Odyssey, Star Trek, Contact... There's a lot of great space movies out there  2001 was like gravity - really thin plot, lots of cinematography. Did not enjoy one bit. And yeah, I know this is not a popular opinion. |

I really doubt Rand will make it out of the primaries. He's not going to end up fundraising enough money to even stand a chance. The game is rigged.
2016 isn't the only primary. There will be another one 4, and then 8, years later. Rand is still a relatively young man! The game is rigged, but the GOP operates on an 'it's my turn' hierarchy and is *really* sick of losing the White House to the Dims. President Hillary (BARF!) is their worst nightmare, and they might be ready to abandon the War On Drugs and other 'social conservatism' BS in a come-to-Jesus moment of existential terror. Doesn't change any of the underlying factors. In 2020, 2024 (or whenever), Rand will still need big money to even get the nomination. There is indication that Rand wants contributions from the Koch brothers, which is understandable if you expect to win anything. So even if you like him, he will likely be beholden to billionaire interests. http://www.politico.com/story/2015/02/rand-was-a-dud-at-the-koch-brothers-conference-114853.htmlThe biggest problem with politics right now is money and special interests. Nothing is going to get fixed unless that does. And you know what? The Republican supreme court justices, and the GOP in general, are responsible for all that money being funneled in. As it is right now, I prefer 1) Elizabeth Warren 2) Bernie Sanders 3) Rand Paul |

Did you read it who created the wormhole in the movie? I think Wormhole does not occur naturally. Not that any wormwhole was ever observed to anyone check if they can be created naturally or not Wormholes are naturally occurring all the time and almost everywhere, do your research on quantum physics you will get your answer. Practical proof is non existent because we cant observe it or posses enough power to recreate it but theoretically it has been proven. I couldn't finish gravity.. there was no storyline or scifi that got me interested. I don't get it. Interstellar on the other hand.. probably the best space move I've seen. They actually apply quantum mechanics too.
The story of Gravity is simple, it tells us how precious Gravity really is to us that we take it for granted and never notice it, people that dont understand this simple concept are .... well.. lets just stop there. Just because someone didn't like the movie, it doesn't mean they didn't understand that concept. If that is the main point of the movie, and I wouldn't have bothered watching. Interstellar had a much, much better plot. It incorporates quantum mechanics, you get to see other planets with water (that planet with the huge tidal waves was awesome), there's an actual story, and the concept of time dilation was pretty awesome. |

you could probably retire in vietnam or thailand and live a comfortable life. in thailand, there are plenty english speakers too, so you'd feel at home.
