Obviously windows is the most popular but there are several threads about what operating systems people use already.

Well there are no safe or sure investments so you've just got to study the markets and make your own mind up. People don't have to invest either and if people feel like they need to they're more likely to lose their money all together.

What do you mean? It's a marketplace not a currency exchange so not sure how you could do arbitrage on it. Please clarify.

Run All Night last with Liam Neeson. Pretty average really. Neeson just plays the same character all the time now.

Just use a proxy. That's the only way you'll be able to protect yourself. You'll probably have to pay for one though they're not expensive but depends how much you value your privacy.

They did an entire episode on Breaking Bad on various things that had happened. From what I recall none of them actually passed the test of being possible but that's TV for you.

Not always. You can earn bitcoins in various ways or sell/trade something for them. I think using bitcoin is just a great way to buck the current system and use something that s truly decentralized. "Be the change you wish to see in the world". Hopefully one day we'll be able to spend bitcoins around the world just like we would use cash.

As opposed to the US dollar which is just 'printed'?


Couldn't they just steal the phone or send all the money on it to another? Sounds like it could be less safe to me.

The biggest plus is from an investment perspective. Money should grow in value over time not devalue like fiat does so that's a plus. No authority can mess with the supply so that's another.

I think volatility is always going to be an issue, though I hope I'm wrong. However, an ideal scenario would be bitcoin to keep rising as more and more people get involved. I think this is how money should work. Money should grow over time and not devalue like fiat.

Really? There seems to be lots of investors putting millions into bitcoin related start ups at the moment.


Doesn't really matter. They still rake in money via adverts but these sort of apps are great at collecting vital info which is worth a lot of money to certain organizations whether its for advertising or spying.

This is what I want to be able to do. I'd love to travel the world on bitcoin, only in a few years time when bitcoin is more widely accepted around the world... and is worth a lot more than it is now  . I haven't used my bitcoin much so far, just small purchases like vpn providers and filehosting sites etc but I would certainly like to spend it more just when I can get more value for it.

It's really not very dangerous and is probably one of the safest drugs you can take as it's impossible to overdose on it, though smoking it isn't exactly great for your lungs and like any drug you can get addicted to it though most can smoke it casually without any issues. The cannabis is a gateway drug theory which you allude to in your last sentence isn't true either. Tobacco and Alcohol are the true gateway drugs but it's not the drugs themselves that lead to others but people usually try these ones first before they try others.

Who said they have to alter their behavior? The school who suggested this based on nothing but their own prejudice and fear? It's like them sending out a letter saying please make sure to lock your car doors because there's a camp for insert minority here nearby.


Fully illegal? According to who? There are many different schools of thought on what female Muslims should wear and I don't think it even states anything in the Quran or Hadith that women should be fully clothed from head to toe other than that they should dress modestly. Some aren't covered at all like most of the Muslims in my country. And they're not baring arms. There arms aren't bare but their hands are which is most women who wear hijabs or burkas do. They most extreme version of this is they have to be covered down to their hands and ankles and are not allowed to show anything above them like in the picture.

Lol. America likes to portray itself as free and freedom loving but but there's nothing free about it and the idea of America is just a colossal hypocrite and contradiction. Land of the free but spying on its citizens and the rest of the world? Land of the free but lock up more people than any other nation and most of them for petty drug offenses? Land of the free but will evade your country whenever it feels like it? Land of the free but is a country that is founded on genocide and theft? I don't think so. America is a delusion and so is anyone who think it's the greatest country or the country of god etc and this is exactly what's wrong with both blind belief in religion and blind patriotism.

What the heck are you talking about? Who said anything about jailing anyone? I'd love to know how you deconstructed me saying weed isn't a magic medicine to we should jail weedsmokers?

I'm not going to get into a discussion about the morality or ethics of the porn industry, but for the vast majority most women willingly choose to accept money in order to do the 'job' so I have little sympathy for ones that feel like they're being 'abused' when they knowingly signed up (providing it was their own choice of free will to get involved and not pushed into it by an abuse partner or whatnot) but of course their is usually some underlying issues why women would want to get involved with sex work but there's nothing you can really do about that when they make the decision themselves.

Why would people pay for anything? Porn, films, music etc. Heck, why even pay for food or clothes when you can just go to a shop and steal them? Why even pay rent or buy a house when you can squat for free? Some people prefer the convenience of paying for services or goods and also don't want to break the law (whether you agree or disagree with copyrite theft).

I don't think there's that many benefits about using bitcoin over fiat at the moment for the average person, but it's the future potential and benefits I'm interested in. Bitcoin is very risky currently as the price tends to go down than up, but if it gets adopted by more people or industries in the future then the value should steadily rise. There's also the benefits of you being in charge of it, so it would help citizens like in Greece or Cyprus who's banks were restricted or even raided.


And that's a reason why the taxman or law enforcement aren't going to like bitcoin very much.

Why not? I'm not sure a currency has to be decentralized to be a crypto, just employ or rely on cryptography to produce and safely send/store the coins which it almost certainly will. Sure, bitcoin and most alt coins rely on decentralization but those ones can just be known or called decentralized crypto to distinguish the two.
