I currently play a game called Call Of War where you play a month (or two!) campaign to take over the world.

They have multiple games available to start each week but once you get started everyone is in that game for a while.

It would be a lot easier to only use currencies that implement the Lightning Network. There there's no reason to store coins on some central server.

I too would love it if the currency of a game was bitcoin over the lightning network. Should be easy enough to implement.

Marx doesn't believe in working for your capital. The state shall provide.

When I was in Saigon there was free market enterprise just about anywhere (apparently the government didn't regulate the shit out of everything). There was no storefront that you passed that didn't have a business.

One old lady literally only had a pot and a bunson burner with a couple of very small plastic tables and chairs.

She cooked an amazing meal on the street corner for very cheap (about $2 for a meal that filled me up).

If you think you need someone else in order to have a job to live, you're doing it wrong.

You don't have to work for someone else to eat though. You can work for yourself. And you have choices of who to work for and for how much. Taxation does not leave that choice.

Had an idea for a video game.

Basically like an RPG battle type of system where everyone chooses their race (elf, dwarf, human, orc, etc.) which each have their own abilities, weapons, armor, etc. They're all at war with each other. They also all have their own currencies. And those currencies are cryptocurrencies (BTC, LTC, Monero, ETH, etc.).

Everyone pays like $1 worth of their currency at the beginning of the game cycle (like a month or so). You create a character and level up, etc. within your tribe. Your currency fluctuates during that time which may give you access to better weapons if your currency does well or you'll struggle if the price goes down.

You battle other races and can get their money/weapons if you kill someone. At the end you get to keep what you gained during the cycle (minus a cut for the game developer).

If all the crypto prices stay the same then all races would have equal chances of winning outside of some playability of the players. This would have people rooting for their particular currency throughout that month watching the price even when they're not playing.

Thoughts?

I bought some bitcoin over spot price but the guy assured me it was purchased before the BCH split so I'm now sitting on these pre-fork coins.

Totally going to take advantage of the split.

So...the price is terrifyingly low. Why and who?

Fix it now.

Get that shit back up over $10k already.

Jay has himself on ignore.

Legally not considered theft...but if it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck...it's likely a duck. If someone takes money by force...that would be theft.


Image if George and Jim both independently take money from someone at gunpoint in the street. George then takes the money and goes buys some cigarettes and booze. Jim takes the money and puts it toward setting up an educational foundation supporting underprivileged children.

Which one stole the money?

Just remember...when selling you get hit with tax consequences (in the US).

So selling a big chunk is not the best strategy (unless you're just in it for the fiat and supporting your benevolent government with more money).

Personally I was able to retire and I can pull out $35k of my bitcoin every year tax free. I don't have to work the rest of my life.

To me that seemed a bit more important than anything I could cash out and buy.

Interest on the debt is now the #4 spending item (behind Elderly Welfare, Poor Healthcare and National Offense).

So ya...they steal your money to pay interest on the ever growing debt. Eventually all of your taxes will be going toward just paying interest.

But that has nothing to do with the question of the actual act of taxation being theft or not.

If you ever had a Bitcoin address associated with your account you can always sign a message with that key as proof.

Maybe I missed it...what does ABC refer to wrt BCH?

I wonder if people will use their mobile wallets to pay for this...

Using that thing they have in their pocket all the time...

That displays the time...

Stop trying to screw Thai people over with your shitcoins.

You are on par with Bitconnect who scammed way too many Thais.


Just buy and hold bitcoin. Eventually you'll be able to spend bitcoin all over Thailand.

You will eventually start seeing 2 lines through that 'B' all over the country.

Bureaucrats are all like "hrm...let's plan out this crypto thing, set up committees vote on legislation, approve amendments, herdy derdy derp..."

then technology like bisq comes along and shits all over their plans

The less Washington accomplishes the better. Gridlock is always good.

Unless you like government getting bigger.
