My reason is actually trivially simple. I am free to make and trade stuff - Capitalism I need someone else's permission to make and trade stuff - Not capitalism (i.e. socialism, communism, whatever) That's it. I've never been one for authority, or requiring permission for how to live my life. Slippery slope (a logical falacy, I know) tends to gegress to the question, "May I be allowed to live?" It is trivial. I am free to produce structural violence and deprive people to death = capitalism

There is a reason that you people believe communist=socialist=Marxist=terrorist...
There just isn't much reason to carefully differentiate the precise motives of murderers. Then you'd be happy to add capitalist to the list I'm sure.

Was only a matter of time! "Thanksgiving day, while many of us were eating turkey, The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) published JPMorgan Chase’s (Chase) patent application 20130317984, “Method and system for processing internet payments using the electronic funds transfer network.” The application was filed with the USPTO on August 5th, 2013. Without mentioning Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies at all for that matter, Chase appears to be building a competing centralized network to Bitcoin." http://letstalkbitcoin.com/jpmorgan-chase-building-bitcoin-killer/"Hey guys we made Paypal all over again!"

All money is a bubble and globalization/control conspiracies are more likely to be more accurate than less. What Jones and many others fail to realize is that the invalid monetary game itself is the source of the vast majority of "evil" they see in the world, and instead mis-attribute it to whoever happens to be running the world that day. End money and you can end this terror and fear.

Reading the media coverage of bitcoin prices is so fucking sad. It's like watching someone try to report the play by play of a tennis match using Morse code.

3000 is the sequel to 300.

I remember when it hit 30 and then crashed all the way down to 50. Then it hit 200 and crashed all the way down to 1000. I hope it doesn't crash anymore...I'll have too much money!
The guy who is on the side of Venus project and Zeitgeist deserves to get rich IMO. I'm just joking of course. I have no significant position in bitcoin.

Thanks for running this pool. I've also been away from mining for a long time but this is a great idea.

Hatemongering Chinese authorities do not recognize heterosexual currency relationships! the nature of Bitcoin that Bitcoin is not issued by the monetary authorities, such as not having sex with mandatory legal tender currency property

Okay I think I've finally grasped it:
Though Joseph never actually says it (or perhaps I've missed it), what's really paying for all these technological advancements and constructions are people's input of energy and time, with the intent of a desired output, such as the tower farms and whatnot; this same behavior can be found if, for example, a person decided to plant a farm, i.e. energy expenditure, and then ate the food they'd grown, i.e. the desired output, with the major difference being, group projects instead of solo projects. Is this correct, LightRider?
That's a very simplistic representation I think, but yes. If the desired outcomes are sustainability, efficiency and a high standard of living for all people, then common efforts to achieve those ends, along with the application of our technical capability and reliance on the scientific method for rational consensus, are what is generally being proposed.

I've read that Bible Code book and it seems to "predict" anything the author wants it to. This is one piece of literature where I recommend it's ok to judge a book by its cover. But did you read the sequel? Nope. Should I? It claims that they found references to 9/11. I didn't find it very compelling myself, but they do talk alot about codes, decryption, computing and other kinds of modernish stuff.

For those more interested in a "free market" solution to world hunger, http://www.cyberfarmsystems.com is now accepting Bitcoin donations to help fund their startup and promote their technology. This is a company sympathetic to the Zeitgeist Movement and to implementing a resource based economy.
