Many multinational corporations get priviledged treatment by the state, and lobby the state to violently subjugate its own citizens to their advantage (see patent and copyright legislation).
You either lobby the government or get subjugated from some jackass competitor's legislation and go out of business. If nobody lobby, the government will listen to the whining and crying of the masses. The solution is to stop the fucked up game, rather than attacking organizations or individuals who were winner in the system. |

For all the focus on the super-wealthy and such...
There's one thing that they're ignoring...the people.
After all, who have the responsibility and the power of electing people into office, the one who have irrational fears about child predators, and possess such a statist belief system.
Oh yeah, don't forget the old people who vote in favor of social security and burdening the younger members of the population with the bill

As for your continuing and pointless argument about whether or not the government's attack upon e-gold constituted a "fiasco" or not, we'll just have to agree to disagree and let it go. Further debate on the subject will serve no purpose other than to let people know that you are a troll.
Jesus, using the word troll had become..less powerful these day. Just because you feel insulted, doesn't mean that said poster is a troll. |

This is silly. Imagine the nightmare if every single application was using a password to protect its files.
The operating system is in charge of the file system security. Not the application.
All files are equal. Some are more equal than others. Therefore it make sense to take care of some file more than others. Whether that is done through the application itself or the operating system is irrelevant. |

Sell services that the initial community like. These good and services are self sustaining. Eventually, the owners of these bitcoin business may decide to invest in a few risky venture that reach slightly less tech-savy users. These less savy users open up new businesses that are also self-sustaining in that reach that particular demography..and so on.

People are absolutely buying my arts. There may be one or two download each day, earning me between .10 and .20 BTC.
It's a pittance, but I earn zero BTC for my programming activity and mining make me only about .20 BTC each week.

Moreover, I actually tend to think that the code is better when it is done for free, because the developper really enjoyed his work, and did not do it just for the money.
I don't want to get paid in lame dollars. I want to get paid in bitcoin. |

Noagendamarket really should update the thread to say that there's more than 100 BTC and also lists all the people who pledge too.
