safety of anything that you actually own (not third party/custodial) depends on the user being security-aware. In terms of crypto;- make multiple secure backups, cold wallet computer / safe (seed or privkey) / encrypted USB drive or hardware wallet. Etc.

Whilst there is an illusion of fiat being "safe" in banks, it only holds as long as they keep their elaborate scam/enslavement system afloat based on nothing but force (circulating by force). The bank OWNS your funds, so if anything ever happens, it's their rules and decision.

nope, we're  still extremely early in the crypto birthing process.. give it another 5-10 years before true mainstream adoption occurs

In terms of health, going vegan will surely help you in being fit and healthy. But it can get very exhausting that might cause to loss of appetite. Instead of starving, I suggest eating a balanced diet instead.

not true, vegan/vegitarianism is very unhealthy long term unless you are extremely careful on how you do it.

We have the right to eat meat but according to studies our body is designed to only eat plants (vegetables). In terms of protein, it's more healthier compared in animals'. There are also body builders who are vegan that made their body more structured and symmetric.

incorrect, the studies /biochemistry does not say anything of the sort

Nothing wrong with vegan food as a side-dish for a nice chunk of meat Smiley. A bit more seriously, we are designed to be omnivores. That "omni" thingy includes meat and fat as well. BTW the first and last fully vegan humanoids, the Paranthropus robustus chewed nuts, roots and bulbs and got extinct eventually, while their scavenging cousins the Australopithecus africanus happily turned to our progenitors.

I've seen this chart below been passed around vegan circles saying that we aren't omnivores, any thoughts on the chart since you seem to know some stuff on the matter:



Lots of vegans will try and push this argument, that humans are not technically omnivores. It's complicated, but we know that humans have eaten meat for at least 10,000 years (probably much longer) and our physiology points towards us being omnivorous. It seems silly to say we're not omnivorous, because we can digest vegetables and meat (we have the enzymes present in our gut to break down meat). Just because we don't need meat, doesn't mean we are herbivores/frugivores.

Anyway, I've never thought this argument mattered much, because we know that you CAN survive as a vegan (albeit with a little difficulty). And most intelligent vegans will use another, more compelling argument - The reason, they say, that we shouldn't eat meat is because we know that we don't need it, and we also know that animals are suffering as a result of our meat-eating.

Now personally I think most vegans are shooting themselves in the foot when they try and recruit others, by saying that killing animals is morally wrong. This is because most people won't make such a drastic change to their diet (like many people, I love meat too much to give it up).

What they should be doing, is getting people to eat free-range, outdoor reared animals rather than cheap shitty battery animals. This way, everyone wins - The animals don't suffer and have a happy life, the farmers get paid more, and the consumer gets tastier, healthier meat. If every vegan did this instead of trying to guilt trip everyone into giving up meat, there would be more happy animals in the world.

I guess the vegans would argue that the animal still gets killed at some point in their life even if free range against their will.  Probably in a period of being in their prime also.  Just saying.  Agree on some of the points for sure.

Currently im mostly a pescetarian fwiw but had a chicken burger a month ago  Grin


So the overall feeling here is that the chart is total horsecrap?

yes, as with most/all veggie/vegan propaganda.. it is nonsense and only an attempted way to frame mixed (correct/incorrect) data to present a view that cannot be challenged by those who do not know any better...

similar to the "protein in 100 calories of brocoli vs steak" memes, whereby it is completely ignored that you would have to eat a metric shit ton of brocoli to get the same protein, and those proteins would be incomplete profiles, vitamins would be much less bioavaliable
~

The ethical argument I somewhat agree with... we should definitely treat animals as best we can. But the vegan/veggie propaganda also fails to mention that as much wild-life/animals suffer or are killed through their diet if they are eating mono-cropped/factory farmed vegetables... loss of habitat, harvesting, destruction of soil/ecosystem.

The only solution for now, is to properly raise and treat animals well. Give them a happy, healthy and full life; stop monocropping/factory farming;- smaller farms that properly rotate their crops and animals (for soil/ecosystem quality), are the most sustainable and environmentally friendly way of doing things.

There are many who do not know about the benefits of vegetarianism. Proper vegetarianism, combined with legumes, is not only full of nutrients for the body, but also for the development of the brain. Firstly you will have a healthy heart, away from diabetes, atherosclerosis by harmful fats from animals. Vegetarian foods are rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, these are extremely benign, purifying your body, eliminating the stagnant toxins in your body so you can stay healthy and last longer. longer life

This is utter nonsense, saturated fats from animals are NOT unhealthy;  they are some of the most stable and healthy fats we can consume. The extremely unhealthy fats are vegetable/seed oils such as sunflower/soya... these are extremely unstable under heat/light/oxygen; they are rancid before they even leave the factories they are processed in (which is why they deodorize them). They are very high in omega-6 fats which tend to be precursory to pro-inflammatory processes.

Our typical omega3:6 ratio during evolution was close to 1:1, 1:2 (o3:o6).... in the modern diet, it is closer to 1:20.. this is responsible for a huge proportion of the modern illnesses... along with reliance and massive amounts of grains/sugar every day.

Much of the vitamins/minerals in the plant world are far less bioavaliable to us and come with other concerns such as defense mechanisms... so whilst many plants/vegetables/fruit are healthy... if you eat too many of the wrong kinds (grains, soya and other legumes, especially if not properly processed/fermented), they can be very unhealthy.

If Man were under God's direct "control" would we see War, Murder, Rape, Poverty, Slavery, Counter-natural Sexual Practices, Child Abuse-and-Neglect, etc., etc., etc.? If the answer to that question is 'yes' then one is asserting that these things are of God because God "controls" Man.

No, these things are not of God. These things are born of the archons and aeons of this nature, which are massive thought-clouds created by the collective erroneous and selfish thinking by Man over long ages of time. These thought-clouds surround the entire planet and act directly on the mental and astral bodies of humanity. Long ages ago, Man freely CHOSE to begin feeling and thinking selfishly, thereby setting in motion the processes that resulted in the creation of these aeonic entities. The freedom of CHOICE to create was granted to Man by Man's Creator. Man chose to create selfishly - which is not how God creates. The results speak for themselves.

People will say "God knows everything, so He must have known this would happen, etc., etc." God is aware of all potentialities. To avoid negative outcomes for a Creation, God develops a Divine Plan of Evolution, which, if voluntarily followed, will bring Glory to the Creation.

When that Plan is not voluntarily followed by the entities who are entrusted with administering the Plan, we end up with wandering, blind, misled, fallen human races and an emergency-order situation like the one that exists on Earth at this time.

I think the victors write, create and change the history books. We CANNOT know what really happened or the exact timelines/events. World war 1, economic collapse, bankers, all these things contributed to putting things in motion. Atrocities were on both sides, but history is written as propaganda of the victors, even if the events represented are real, it should surprise no one if they are greatly exaggerated and covered in bias.

This is the game of elites and bankers.. to pit poor people against each other everywhere. Let us leave this nonsense in the past and #exitfiat (fiat is TENDER FOR LAW, Legalese the language used for deception in the Babylonian Cult of the Private "Law Society")

only if it is decentralized and completely apart from the LEGAL babylonian dystopia that so many seem to want to create

there are many efforts right now in the crypto-space working to solve the issue of self-sovereign identity systems that are decentralized and allow you to control your data/what is claimed+shared.

I think it's fine using biometrics, just not if it is in the traditional/Legal system. When you attach your living presence with the system of the dead (Legal/Babylon), that is the mark of the beast. Fiat is TENDER FOR LAW... but so is claiming a Legal Name that you did not author. Handing over jurasdiction to them is the way the whole game works.
48  Other / Off-topic / Re: Are there good sides in a war? on: July 09, 2018, 02:27:33 PM
People often talking about how USA was the good and Japan was the evil in World War 2, but when you see the history of every country involved, you start to find hard to take sides in any conflict, even though I hate nazis I can't see the Russians or Brittish or French as the good side, those were all imperialistic countries that killed and enslaved millions of people before Hitler, and kept doing so after he was gone. I believe one the biggest reasons for Hitler's rise into power was exactly Great Britain and France foreigner politics.
With regards to the Second World War and almost every other war, the aggressor is the one who brought the war and therefore the bad side, the Japanese did a preemptive strike on the USA though they were not officially in the war.
That does not make sense at all, so every independent country in the new world and africa were the bad guys declaring war in their colonizers? Also, in the Second World War the United States was more than involved with trade routes and aiding England in the war effort. The Japanese saw no other way to win the conflict but to attack first, by the way things were playing out, they had no other choice. It was attacking or being suffocated by the Allies policy.

there is no good or bad side in any of the wars... they are just brainwashed, enslaved poor people suffering (those fighting or not) and killing each other. Meanwhile, the elite play their geopoliticial/banking games.

Countries do not exist, they are banking/Legalese entities in your minds. Legality is not reality.

And whilst I agree with your points on the history regarding imperialistic/Crown Empire forces... another aspect that is often lost is that the victors alter and write the history books. We can only know a slither of the truth of what happened in any of these historical situations.

Looking at the decentralized nature of crypto-currencies,Wonder if govt bans Bitcoins in future??Is it possible let's say by blocking all sites which relate to Bitcoin wallets/payments etc over the internet.In that case what would happen to our existing coins held in those wallets??

the only currently viable way to impact bitcoin would be to shut down the internet or energy production... in which case we've got far bigger problems than whether fiat or crypto is worth anything Tongue

as we are seeing other coin such as litecoin ,monera,etherium , are faster in transaction than btc

not for a very long time, if ever. Bitcoin will remain king for a while yet Wink

there is far more to it than simply transactions per second and fees. And everything that bitcoin lacks is and will be integrated into bitcoin itself over time. Privacy upgrades are paramount else bitcoin can never truly be fungible. Lightning network improves along side the massive scale-ability benefits
51  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can We Finally Call This the DEATH of Bitcoin?!? on: July 08, 2018, 06:45:14 PM
The scammers and crooks finally won! Congratulations because even your fiat will be near worthless at some point too! The economic freedom of the people is once again destroyed by the animalia raised by bad handlers.

To the "Lending" companies (hey man, do you think I can get my money back soon), I salute you.

To Bitmain and "the plan", I salute you.

To Wall Street who always knows my future, I salute you.

To the newbie crypto-millionaires, who only like the part about making easy money, I salute you.

To the lower middle-class who borrowed all the equity in their homes to buy crypto and told everyone about it, I salute you.

To the SEC who will wait until every crypto is worthless to go after anyone, I salute you.

To the old school crypto nerds, who cashed out in 2017 when they saw what was coming, great job!


I still remember the days when getting anything over a 1% yield on a bank account was something to brag about.

One day I will tell my grand kids about the time in 2017 when everyone except politicians were happy and it was a joy to work at any job because you had real money that actually could make you more real money. Time to find the next bubble...

Bitcoin is always called "dead" after each big rise and inevitable subsequent correction...

I think you should learn just how early in the life-cycle of this technology it is. The potential for the future and how the internet scaled through open protocols. You will see crypto is only just birthing, will bitcoin remain king forever? Perhaps not... but it isn't going anywhere any time soon imo

I guess the blockchain connected to ID and notarial informations could make crypto loan more safer.
We can imagine that if you don't pay the loan you get automaticaly sued through the blockchain?

What a dystopian nightmare all you guys are dreaming up. There is no need for state/third party actors, or Legal process in any of this;  you can do biological ID with no LEGAL identifiers... there are many working on this and this is crucial...

with Legal jurisdiction implied you are a slave, bound by antiquated laws drawn up by bankers to keep the peasants in their place and keep a constant funnel of fiat/national (LEGAL TENDER) flowing up to the elite. Crypto is outside of this jurisdiction until you try to re-enter the system via fiat/name. TENDER FOR LAW - Debt in transit - LEGAL TENDER... this the fiat military slave money.

The real open/decentralized cryptos will succeed in the end... with innovation that our minds cannot even remotely begin to fathom. This is the birth of crypto and we ain't seen nothing yet compared to what can be achieved through this.
No one rejects the notion that Fiat banks and the financial system built on hard currency in terms of lending is nothing but slavery in the 21st century. However, we are trying to find some way around it.

Fair enough, I'm just putting it to people here, that the "way around it" is by using cryptocurrencies correctly.

Those who don't know what Babylon/Legal/Fiat is, will continue to use it and give over jurasdiction (claiming to be slaves); those who are able to get literate in crypto-currencies , will be able to live freely without giving jurasdiction over to the criminal Private Law Society that claims the Earth for itself. Heaven and hell always exist as external manifestations of the internal metaphysical/angogical play of experience. The question is not whether you go to heaven or hell, but how much heaven/hell you are helping manifest with your intent/actions and words. <3

I get a little disheartened that so much of the crypto community is unaware of this aspect of bitcoin/truly decentralized+open and public crypto-currencies... but it is nice to see many do also Smiley

56  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Legal nature of cryptocurrency on: June 14, 2018, 11:14:12 PM
Hey guys!

I am a 4th-year law student in the UK and want to write a dissertation on legal nature of cryptocurrency. There are 3 predominant ideas regarding the topic. Firstly, some lawyers see it as money. The second view is that it is an obligation. And the last one, and the position mainly taken in the US, is that it is a commodity (like diamonds or oil).

I don't know anything about cryptocurrencies, and maybe someone could help with starting the research or maybe with some expert opinion on the issue?

Thank u very much in advance for any help!


There is no "Legal nature" of cryptos... there is however, third party nefarious entities such as the Law society/Legal profession, that will attempt to co-opt the crypto movement via their REGISTERED corporations... and re-inserting third parties... the very intermediaries we should be getting rid of. Can't control the cryptos, but they know the public are ignorant of jurasdiction/legalese... exchanging from crypto to fiat with a fraudulant Legal Name (free beings did not author this, it was a Legal transaction, Personage/Fraud and Contracting with a minor). Fiat is TENDER FOR LAW / LEGAL TENDER, and has jurasdiction attached for those committing fraud using this fraudulant/incorrect name+status.

57  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What does bitcoin need to improve? on: June 14, 2018, 10:51:28 PM
I think that bitcoin needs to think about further taxation, because this will be a problem for its owners

Hands off approach should be taken. And anything that happens within crypto open-decentralized networks is not subject to LEGALESE jurasdiction. Only their fiat gateways/Legal corporations, because you trade your crypto for fiat currency (TENDER FOR LAW, LEGAL TENDER, Debt in transit) which has rules (jurasdiction) attached to it.



my reply to op:

Privacy / fungibility... one and the same...

this is being addressed and I'm sure it will be... but keeping the decentralized/trustless model is key also, cross-chain liquidity in the form of decentralized exchanges and atomic swap contracts that preserve/improve privacy also.

without privacy there cannot be fungiblity/freedom

We're supposed to be disintermediating the LEGAL jurisdiction, not attempting to merge with it, if we have privacy, no problem.. if we don't, lots of dystopian potential for those who do not know what Legalese/Legal/Law society is.
58  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CHILD PORNOGRAPHY IN BITCOIN on: June 14, 2018, 09:39:18 PM
the lack of understanding in this thread is really dis-heartening

the article is only reporting on a widely known fact in the crypto community. You CAN enter small amounts of data onto the blockchain, some of this has included links etc to child abuse and other shocking things...

the take-away point is that bitcoin and open/trustless networks are censorship resistant, decentralized to make it near impossible to shut down... immutable so that once a transaction (which could include links to material or images) is confirmed in the blockchain it becomes permanent due to consensus of the transaction being valid.

if you want truly free networks that have freedom of speech/economic activity... fungibility and privacy are key (and improving on bitcoin because it is neither)... but so is this aspect; anyone must be able to use the network without asking for permission... to be immune to censorship / centralized control, all speech/data broadcast validly, is treated neutrally/equally by the network.
