i don't think this money is going back to the taxpayers.. it's probably going into the FBI or some other government organization.

wait, what's the point of this thread? are you saying if you have annoying neighbors, you can get them to stop being annoying by giving them bitcoins? i don't understand the original point of the thread..

and how does that get solved? because someone somewhere would have to provide hashing power for the blockchain.

yeah they don't have any choice. it's either legitimize bitcoin, or don't collect on $100 million dollars. it's good news for anyone who is concerned with the government interfering, but i don't think that poses as bitcoin's biggest threat right now.

oh nice.. this is just chump change for you then.

not looking good for miami.. even though chris bosh declared that the heat would be winning it. he hasn't really showed up since making that statement. i don't get why miami doesn't run its offense through him, he's obviously a better player than the way they are using him.

that may be the case.. but i don't know how a new crypto is going to solve the issue of centralization. imo the only way a new cryptocurrency could supplant bitcoin is to provide it.

that's mainly because we do need more regulations on emissions.. i don't see how you are justifying fox's stance on pollution because "it's just more reason for regulation." more likely, it's because the big oil guys are buddies with fox and conservatives.. there's no other reason why they could outright deny the effects of climate change.

and why are they not? if you are linking the term "minority" to ethnicity, then that's just wrong. women are not an ethnic group, nor are the LGBT community. minority group just means a distinguishable group of people that are.. in the minority.

um, are we talking about the same thing? maybe you should read what i wrote.. i didn't defend any cable news network, i'm just saying fox says way crazier shit than any of the other networks.

so shouldn't we get the info out? who is the the main guy behind ghash.io? does he have a seedy past? where is PG to do the dirty work?

^ the only people that disagree with you are the politicians (and their constituents) who deepen their pockets from war. i'd think typical americans don't care about going to war in the middle or anywhere else.

i don't mean to shit on war veterans, but i don't like it when you see NBA players talking about how they make our country so safe.. how, since WW2, has our military made us safer?

that's part of the whole republican agenda.. fear monger people into letting them get into a war, take the money from the war and give contracts to your friend. same reason why paul ryan wants to make so many budgets cuts and add even more money to the "defense" industry.

it's not just driving the price up. you can make money by speculating and driving it down, then buy them up and push them back to their original value.

are you serious? all that fud that goes on fox? climate change deniers. wall street apologists. i mean, for fuck's sakes, sarah palin was a regular contributor for a few years. there seems to be a lot of republicans or conservatives on bitcointalk.

we are talking about a party that uses the word "professor" and "intellectual" with airquotes, as if it were some dirty word.

i don't watch MSNBC because they are boring.. not because they say more crazy shit than fox. hell, i think fox gets some viewers just because of the crazy shit they say. i even had a girl tell me she watched it just for that sake.

so what sports gambling site do you guys use with bitcoin? i haven't heard about many of them, so i wouldn't even know which ones to trust and which not to. depending in the spread, i would probably put my money on miami.. i was thinking 6 game series if the spurs won game 3, and they did. though i did think they would lose game 4 and win game 5.

we need to know the going rate on bitcoin at the end of the month to have a better idea what people are willing to spend on them coins. maybe the whales will tank the value of bitcoin to get better prices.

i have no idea why people are saying in the 700's, especially with bitcoin being in the mid 500's today. how the f does that make sense to pay more than the market value + provide a 200k deposit?

you know, he likes what he likes.. no need to shame him. there are tons of people you guys know who are probably really into freaky shit. it's just that they don't tell the whole world.

well, you know they do have biological children right? i mean, a gay dude still has a penis and creates sperm.

maybe they're just doing this to make people think that their snooping isn't as dangerous as everyone thinks.
