«Removing religion issues from marketplace»


Mythology it is. And thus that isn't an attempt to prove any existence of God, but the existence of Jesus. As you may see there isn't even sure the prophet existed, let alone God.
Muslims have an advantage here, at least they've evidence of their prophet existence; just a "tiny issue", if that "Allah thing" is God than the Devil is probably a much better guy than such "God".

OTH, does religion matters on business? Strangely, yes. Very/Extremely religious people have "lots of morals", except their morals applies only "to the others", themselves as "chosen by god" abide by a random twisted morality. Not much from Christians, or to lesser degree, but much part of "belief" on Judaism and Islam. Jews believe themselves to be "chosen", put to radical view and this means all others are their slaves up to contempt the "master's will". Muslims are even more upfront, as the Quran and the Hadeeth supports that rob a non-Muslim is perfectly legit and right.

But in the end, Religion exists in an attempt to control people's dos and don'ts, is a mind-control machine, not much more than that. Even if you put to chance that one of them is right, that ain't good news, as the Gods they carry aren't that nice fellows, but dictators and erratic avengers, bloodthirsty, with ego issues, demanding to be worshiped, etc... like an "Eternal Gaddafi". Whatever such thing creates could be called many things, but "Heaven" isn't one of them.

ShadowOfHarbringer and BCEmporium, if you'd care to start a thread in Off Topic I'll be very happy to join in.

Religious discussion doesn't belong here in "Marketplace"

(unless you're selling crucifixes for bitcoins).

More than that, I'm not up to discuss Mythology either.

It all sounds so......familiar.  Must be because of the messiness involved in time travel.  Time travel creates hyper-distortions in the time-space continuum causing people to have "deja-vus" of things that happened to them already in the future

So God will not start to exist just because you believe in it.
Believing in God, aliens, Santa, and so is as valid as not believing.

Still, I'm not imposing nothing. Imposing is a thing most of the still alive religions did and do, with ultimate badass guys up to kill you and your family if you don't believe their delusion. Most are a believe it or else... basis because; god is love (and have ego issues). 

What am I "imposing"?!

So is religion and another "mob dope" alike around... gotta give some credit to the scammer who came up with religions; a scam where the victim just finds out to be scammed after death is more than perfect - no complaints filed and the scam rolls, well, has been rolling for more than 8.000 years by now.  

Bitcoin isn't "legal trend" it's tolerated and flies under the radar because it's a rather small parallel economy, 5 mil ain't much on economic terms, so governments doesn't bother much with it nor are up to spend time listen to nerd explaining about it. Make it 1 bln+ economy and you see how fast it goes outlawed.
Now try to shake the waters, put civil courts and lawmakers around it and see what happens also. Depends on the country for starters, Bitcoin being outlawed on Bermudas is totally different than it being outlawed on USA or EU. But don't come believe you are in the "white market", because you aren't.
For make it white you need governments to coop with it, not just say «it's harmless». And law isn't a strict concept, it's a purely relative one; one thing to be lawful or outlaw relies more on the interests of who's in charge than the thing itself.

As a new bitcoiner today one of the first mystery's for me was...why is a bitcoin worth so much when there is very little commerce to back it up?

The price is partly driven by future expectations.

Ok, then I should define price stability as "abscence of inflation and deflation".

No, I haven't noticed, unless you're using a very broad definition of government. I'm talking about drafting a contract base for people to use in their trades and letting them decide for themselves how/if they want to make sure both parties conform. There is no top-down element. In fact, I'd argue this would be less of a government than what we currently have here as it would hopefully reduce the mob rule aspects of dispute resolution in favour of whatever means the people actually involved can agree on.

Who's talking about government?

Where do i buy that book ?

Caveat emptor, as they say...

I think perhaps a trust Database should be established... Sure, you can just start back from scratch if you screw someone over, but you're starting back from scratch, and everyone is going to be a little bit wary of people with 0 trust.

I can't get behind a guilty before proven innocent system, sorry.

I, for one, welcome our robotic savior.

A few disputes broke out over the last several weeks in area such as bankruptcy and suspected scamming. We don't have definite laws or procedure on how to deal with trespassers or processing evidence yet.

But I think a couple of details is emerging as far as law goes:

1. Bankrupted person will defer all payments to creditors and wronged parties for the amount that was owned.
2. Those who are suspected of scamming but protest their innocence could pay a 'fine' in case of damning evidence.

Those these laws are not definite as it need some more iteration and more testing to make it work.

I would give it a couple of 'court cases' before something good emerge.

Bitcoin Block Explorer doesn't process transactions until they get into a block, so you usually won't see transactions there for at least a few minutes after sending them.
