We can never let this historic thread die! 

The question is,

por que?

Never said it was the same

So when are the site owners going to start posting on this forum?  The first time I heard about it was from you, and no one else has confessed to actually using this thing.  Only other people I know of who love this thing are on the YouTube video, and one's a confirmed whore.  Care to share any other sources of people at least making general discussion of how BitBillions is great?  I'm not finding anything.

Also.


IT'S NOT TOP SECRET IF YOU'RE TELLING THE WORLD ABOUT IT.

See, this name makes more sense.  BitBillions is just dumb.

I believe it is

Found this thread created around the time Swiftcoin came into existence.

What the hell is SwiftCoin?  Is it like SteveCoin?

Problem with coinbase, they'll turn over all your info to anyone 'official' who asks for it.  But if privacy isn't a huge issue, they're probably the easiest way to do it online.

Now if that ain't the damndest thing I ever heard.  Talk about a perfectly timed coincidence!  Any history of this happening before?  You'd figure a big bank like Chase wouldn't make these kinds of mistakes.

Another topic we were talking in was getting derailed (here)  So I decided to start a new one

You're right, I hadn't thought about that.  Believing you're somehow special and above everyone else is another system schools promote--they attempt to reward those who excel at school with AP classes, yet if the schools were doing their jobs right to begin with, AP classes would be needless as all students would be up-to-speed.  Even I had to take remedial courses in my freshman year of college as my poorly rated high school failed to teach me; then again, I can't blame them entirely, as I had no interest in learning much of anything in high school.  I was too worried about fitting in with my clique.  I didn't have much choice, however, since school is not only compulsory, but limited to your "zone", where you can only go to the school your general vicinity is assigned to.  This implies that all schools are uniform and equal, and the education you receive here is just as good as the education you'll receive there, but it's a lie, a lie you can't test, and a lie you cannot triumph, unless you're lucky enough to have parents who make enough money to live in a better community so you can attend a better school--more division, a war of socio-economic classes, implying the poor family is stupider than the rich family because the poor family doesn't make as much.

But I believe this is the question on everyone's mind, anyone who has found this road.  I believe the first step is to abolish compulsory schooling.  State schools are not as worried about education as they are reformation, to instill ideologies in favor to the state to keep the state alive.  All schools should be "private", and serve only one purpose: education.  Schools should be built around the idea of providing this service, and should flourish when providing this service well--that is, if you agree with capitalistic ideals, which will probably be the most favored in a capitalistic society.  Schools which fail to perform this service satisfactorily should be allowed to disband and close up shop, so to speak.  This is the natural order of any good or service, and education will never be in lack of demand (unless you consider the free resources around every corner on the web taking over formal education, but I don't think people will ever want to replace a professional with a web video) so there's no worry about education suddenly becoming extinct because it is no longer enforced.  Once people have the option to receive a completely unbiased education, we will see radical changes.  My only worry is the generations going through this training program now; even if schools were privatized today, the damage is still done, and will carry on long after we're dead.  So, you have to start with those with the power to vote, who are already trained to obey their rulers blindly and trained to love their country as-is, trained to lay their lives down whenever asked, as if it's expected.  It's a dead-lock, and it's why it's so hard to change anything about our system right now.

And so ThrustCoin was born, the coin that is thrustworthy.

Argh!

I must keep it a secret

You seem to know a lot about a guy you're not supposed to know about

Damn.  That's a lot of sheep.

Do I win?

I think people will do a heck ton of trading of goods and services in 5 years

I'm not sure if there would be any downside or benefit to splitting the BTC user base between two forums.  There is a lot going on at this forum, I agree, but most of us have our own categories we like to proliferate   Plus, the trolling and scamming is the spice of life!  Honestly, I can see how it can get annoying, however.

So, what do you have in mind specifically on productive BTC discussion?  As in, raising BTC awareness, promoting development, ideas on new altcoins...that sort of thing?  I imagine it might be an empty forum

AFAIK it is, as long as you're taking proper precautions described in the stickied threads here.  Armory is a good choice if you want absolute control, but, Electrum is safe enough as well.  If you're really crazy about security, Electrum should be able to help you out with a paper wallet...

I use it, and haven't had any issues with it.  It doesn't download the blockchain all the time, which is nice   Especially if you have a data transfer limit.
