Thank you for sharing. Wow Ethereum sure has grown! I remember when it was trading for a couple bucks and the Ethereum community was spamming /r/bitcoin members PMs trying to get them to switch over. How the times have changed...

Yeah I had a bit of Bitcoin back in the day but haven't been involved in quite some time. Just saw something on the news about these ICOs and decided to check back up on everything...  WOW! I want to invest my Bitcoin into different coins... But I also need to know how this all works??? Can anyone help me out?

Holding us back from what?

Well yes, the Federal Reserve does print money, but it's not nearly on the level that OP was talking about, I.E the federal debt. It works well enough now but if it was sent into overdrive to pay off our debts things would get out of hand really fast.

The people that we work with refuse to listen to us, and we still leave the Assad Regime behind! If we want to be smart in the middle east we would be with Assad, not against him. No amount of bombings can solve this problem.

This is why the EU needs comprehensive migration reform. The current system involves migrants dangerously crossing the Mediterranean, landing in a EU country, and then being passed around until they end up in Sweden or Britain. Europeans don't want them, why can't the EU see that?

Doing that would devalue the US dollar to ridiculous levels. It would probably be worse than 3 Wiemar Republics and would turn the US into a super-nazi state.

not that there's anything wrong with that.

Why does the US make Assad out to be desert Hitler? He wants to keep his nation together and out of the hands of rebel groups and ISIS. He's the one that we should be supporting, not name calling.

The sad thing is that websites will end up doing most of the dirty work themselves. Sites like reddit and 4chan just had moderators and owners that were perfectly fine with banning people that disagreed with them. It's political correctness that will truly be the death of the internet, not regulations. Regulations will help though...

They certainly won't get it. Greece has been a money sink for years, and is more of a burden on the EU than a helper, even when its economy was better. I'm not sure if I buy into this "permanent depression" buisness thought, I've always been under the impression that things can get at least slightly better.

I've always hated it when people bring up Jon Stewart in an argument. His viewers (or at least most of them) watched his show to be legitimately informed about politics, but whenever he's wrong about something or he misrepresents something they always bring up the "but he's just a comedian!" defense. People wanted to have their cake and eat it too.

At the rate that the deficit is increasing, it's very probably that dollars are in the negative. When money is exchanged using something other than physical currency it's a lot more easy to rack up negatives.

It seems that irreverent banning of people on forums seems to be increasing a lot nowadays. Did you say something about the coin's place in the wider world of cryptocurrency? It seems to me that it's a meme that takes away from the very real potential of bitcoin.

It's easy to say yes to that, but the management needed to decide who really needs it and who is just faking (spending it on drugs) would be ginormous and even then it would not be fool proof.

So yes, but things would have to be different.

Why do people blindly want more and more technology? They're too occupied with knowing that they could but never stop and think whether or not they should.

I hope that things get better for Greece, because as of now they have to choose between an even worse financial situation or the castration of their sovereignty by the EU.

At least tourism will be cheaper in Greece for a while.

Don't immediately go all in. Try it out first with what you have and see how it plays out, then make the decision after talking to even more experienced miners.

All turkey does in this situation is shrug their shoulders and put on a smug face. Kurdistan and the Kurds have been a thorn in Turkey's side for years, Turkey wouldn't be upset if thousands of kurds died. The Kurds are really stuck between a rock and a hard place.

As long as Australia's bitcoin regulation actually works. One of the defining characteristics of Bitcoin is its unregulated nature, or at least unregulated by people. I think that bitcoin may be hampered by these regulations.

Trump is a candidate that I can really get exited for. None of the others really seem like a change from the status quo that will bring new ideas to the table, or even try to reshape the table or anything.

Trump is the last free man running. He says what he wants to say, when he wants to. The more that I think about it, he may even be the last free man in America. He doesn't have to change to get the donations to come in, or appease politically correct newscasters, or even get the GOP itself to like him. It's one of those runs that happens once in a lifetime and I'm not missing out on it.
