yeah they aren't as good.. it's not really a substitute for cigarettes, though it does help a little bit.
They don't substitute at all. I wasted money trying two e-cigs, and a bunch of different cartridges. What a waste. I'm a smoker, what can I say? One of my buddies bought a e-cigg and it's actually pretty decent. He makes a custom blend of mint flavor (doesn't add ANY nicotine at all), and it's just a really nice taste in your mouth sort of thing. I experimented with different flavors and different vapor levels. Upping the thickness of the vapor didn't do a thing for me either, in terms of substituting for smoke. To each his own, I guess.  I do like the idea. It just doesn't work for me. i couldn't get consistency.. there were some combinations that worked really well for me. i still wanted cigs, but i wanted them less. unfortunately, i can't get the consistency i like.. so i continue to smoke about 4 cigs a day. same here -- 4-5 cigarettes a day. one on the way to work, 2-3 at work, one on the way home. if it weren't for this damn dayjob, i'd have quit by now! cool, most people probably do about 10.. don't you just feel shameful when you're doing it? i hate it when people i know see me do it. but sometimes you just need that comfort. |

The OP didnt sell shit.
Obvious way to try and make the bitcoin price drop down so he could buy in lower.
If he did "sell", I'm sure he had like .005 bitcoin anyway, so .00025 bitcoin sold. wow big deal.
good job jumping to a conclusion. how do you know he didn't sell the coins? you could be right, but you could also be wrong. no need for armchair detective work.. if you aren't actually doing any detective work. |

Ha, I don't think this new system will be as easy to game as you're suggesting. Stunna will still be checking the links to our profiles and posts etc. I think the only thing this method currently saves time on is going through all the personal messages and copying the info down. Now he'll have it all ready down on a spreadsheet, but unless he automates it - which then has the potential problem of being gamed in some way - I don't think it'll save much more time as he'll still have to manually check and issue payment. Ritz's bot or whatever he used seemed to work pretty well from what I gather and I don't think anyone cheated that. In fact, via the bot he usually caught cheaters as it alerted him to when people removed the signature.
yeah i don't think stunna is dumb enough to just pay out bitcoins and not check/reference the posts and accounts. plus, if he finds out, i'm pretty sure your account is banned. Whose account is going to be banned, who will ban it and according to which rules actually? This question refers to all who wrote before and would probably write again something along these lines...  i don't mean disabling/deleting the account, i just mean stunna would ban the account from participating in his signature campaign. How can you be sure that this account actually belongs to the user who submits the payment request?  well, the wallet address is listed in the account user's profile. so even if you wanted to steal coins, stunna would be sending the coins to the wallet of the account holder. people already have a decent opportunity to make some money. i really hope people don't try to take advantage of the new system. |

...
we all know bitcoin is going exist until 2140,
...
Why 2140? I saw you use that year before on some other topics (yes "we are watching you"  ). Is it some random number that you like, or is it actually connected to BTC in some way? It is going to be crazy how far technology will be advanced in 2040. I mean look how far we have come in the last 30 years. It seems like technology is not only getting better but expanding exponentially as the years go by. The last 20 years has produced so much more new technology than the 20 years prior yeah, we're reaching a point of singularity.. once or if we create enough intelligence with our computers, they might be doing the research FOR us. or maybe we'd be doing manual labor for them |

plenty of kids to adopt who need homes, same with pets.
i wonder what the statistics on heterosexual couples that adopt kids vs. gay.. i'm willing to bet that there are more gay couples willing to adopt. it's one of the reasons why i support gays and gay marriage. Well, how else is a gay couple supposed to get a kid? well, you know they do have biological children right? i mean, a gay dude still has a penis and creates sperm. he can place his sperm in his husband in any manner he sees fit, but the two of them are not going to conceive a child. i'm sure there are couples who artificially impregnate other women and raise their kids as a couple. |

Far from all earlier adopters are rich, some certainly are.
Bitcoin is perfect for libertarians who want to make money, since they have at least 2 major reasons to be involved with Bitcoin. For "the masses" appealing to their self-interest is fine, since that is human nature meeting reality.
Please note "appealing to your self-interest" doesn't == "get rich scheme". Bitcoin is good for a hedge against declines in paper money and that will become more obvious as time goes by.
yeah but honestly, self-gain reigns supreme. it seems like most people here are vested into bitcoin because they want to help their own personal wealthy; anything else comes as a byproduct. can't blame people though, this is the world we live in.. everybody must fend for themselves. |

Islam the religion of peace! Its obvious this was going to happen, anyone who has been around Iraqi or even Afghan soldiers, or has personally known soldiers that were over there has allready heard about thier complete incompetence. I recommend everyone watches this Vice Video on the next army to have to defend itself the Afghan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja5Q75hf6QI. I jsut saw the other day the ISIS robbed all the banks in Mosul and made an absurd ammount of money, guess they are richer than Al Qaeda now. Due to the soldiers abandoning thier posts and gear the ISIS also now have up armored humvess, massive ammounts of ammunitions and arms, Sapi plates and body armor and who knows the may have some abrahms and a fucking mrap for all we know. 4 trillion and large ammount of us soldiers, such a god damn joke. yeah it's the same as vietnam.. the southern government was equally incompetent. it's funny that we side with the people who don't give a shit about winning a war.. or maybe they don't give a shit about winning because it's the "american side." either way, there are so many teams in the game.. and we never choose the right one (if there is one). |

Maybe now only al-Qaeda are still alive, fighting against Assad, because the moderate ones had no chance (thanks Obummer).
I don't want more involvement, but what Obummer does is similar to what happened in Vietnam. The US army eventually won
the attrition war (the vietcong was depleted), then left and the NVA conquered the South. If you think US occupation of Iraq
was bad (and I don't say it was good, they made many mistakes, especially under Rumsfeld), the civil war is going to be worse.
you are complaining that we are leaving the iraqi government to fend for itself.. i don't know how to take that other than "we need more support and troops in iraq." that, to me, is calling for more involvement in iraq. |
