Ha ha, maybe next you can pull out the log graphs and push the delusion even further. Bitcoins are down 86% since their peak less than a year ago. Are you disputing that fact?
Those were both log graphs. Yes, Bitcoin is down 86% from it's June peak. It's also up 400% from its one year low. Do you dispute that? Also, nominal yearly inflation in the low single digits like we've seen with the USD is pretty rad. It's pretty much ideal, actually. Wage stagnation isn't cool, though, which is the real problem at the moment. Ah, silly me... nice troll. Log graphs are pretty misleading, which was my point. Not trolling at all, though I am laughing at your grasp of Economics. Sure, 2-3% is probably the ideal inflation level, and we're usually a little higher than that, but around 4% and lower like we've been seeing is pretty damn good. A low steady rate of inflation encourages investment and lending and is overall good for the economy.

If you explain that a currency that has been tightly controlled by the central bank/federal government since 1913 has lost 95% of its value, and that Bitcoin offers an alternative, then maybe they'll come around.
Then you can be like, "Your currency only lost 95% of its value in a century? Bitch, please. Bitcoins have lost 86% of their value in less than a year. Beat that!" I'm sorry? Looks like it's quite significantly up from $0.01. Ha ha, maybe next you can pull out the bitcoin value log graphs and push the delusion even further. Bitcoins are down 86% since their peak less than a year ago. Are you disputing that fact? Also, nominal yearly inflation in the low single digits like we've seen with the USD is pretty rad.

Why would someone who wants out of bitcoins not just convert them into dollars on an exchange and take the money? Are you seriously implying that someone would give up a good deal of money on the off chance that not selling them on the open market will somehow keep bitcoins slightly more stable? Why not just put them on a USB drive or whatever-the-fuck and forget about them for a while if that was the case? You're a retard.
'Hurrrrr, please give me free monies'

Is Bruce Wagner going to teach the protesters how to pay for Thai ladyboys with bitcoins, or will that be part of a separate workshop?
He's going to stick to educating them on Bitcoin. Perhaps you'd like to volunteer your own expertise on the subject?  Awwwwww man, I haven't been burned that badly since the time that one guy told me he was made of rubber, and I was made of glue.

I don't think AJ will get it. As much as he rants against the mainstream, his methods and underlying motives are very much mainstream. He may be against the government but it's only from a place of selfishness and greed. It's his business after all.
I'm not a fan of AJ at all. But come on, you think he was was like, okay, I want to make money talking on the radio, lemme pick a topic that'll make me a lot of money, I know, anti-gov rhetoric, those people are numerous and wealthy. More like numerous, stupid, and easy to manipulate.

This is hilarious, you're both just talking past each other. Neither of you are interested in talking to the other person and instead tried to push your own agenda/conspiracy theory. When he realized you weren't going to play into his narrative he just cut you off, since you were basically just trying to read an ad without paying for a spot.
So yeah, that went just about how I expected it to.

When I clicked on the url it only lead me to announcement page. Was it just me...? In exchange of my disappointment I will post the site I liked personally! www.firstnationalib.comHas anyone heard of this site? I searched for some info and figure out that it is a company in New Zealand handling fx, gold and bitcoin. I am curious, so if anyone know about the site, please let me know!  "Hi, I just found this site(that I run) and I was wondering if anyone could tell me about it(the one I created). Also, stop the hate(directed at me for being shitty at this)!" Seriously, this has to be a joke. Even in a community notorious for laughably transparent scams, this one ranks pretty high.

Could it be thay these hecklers are wimps in person and the Internet is the only place they can go to act like tough guys without having the glasses smacked off their nerdy little faces and pencil necks?
Whatever man, I could totally beat you up. Let's meet at the park and settle this. You know the one.
