Episodes like law enforcement running around confiscating firearms in open defiance of the Constitution during Katrina doesn't exactly instill much confidence. Here's a group of premusably pro 2nd amendment citizens with badges that have no problem taking the 2nd amendment rights from other citizens when they're so ordered. This is an example of following orders without applying common sense.
You also seem to forget about the fact that there was so much rioting and chaos, even among Police, that martial law was issued and the military DID take over. You are trying to compare apples to oranges. There was so much devastation and destruction, people going crazy and doing whatever they wanted, they probably felt that was the only way to maintain safety. Was the right answer, probably not. But when your facing non-stop looting and just about every other crime. |

When the news says something about American soldiers putting down their weapons and refusing to follow their commander's orders because they felt what they were doing was wrong, I'll agree with you  I'm sure its happened at some point in time, just, not a whole lot, or not for very long. But the trend seems to be, do what you're told or else you're a traitor, and though soldiers do have conscious, they're not given much room to think outside the box. I'd be scared to, personally. They kick your ass in the military until you see things their way. Actually, it has happened a lot. In fact, I was shocked at the amount of people who were simply discharged for going AWOL over the past decade. No prison time, no "traitor" status, just released. And again, your post shows more blindness to what would actually happen if the government decided to start slaying citizens. The commanders would be among the first to say "not happening". For example, listen to the open opposition from high ranking Marine commanders when Dont Ask, Dont Tell was repealed to allow gays to serve openly. I think the quote was something along the lines of "That is not happening in my Corp!" And you think they are going to just say, ah alright, well kill off a few thousand citizens who decide to stand up for the same Constitution that we are sworn to defend. Comon! |

What about the incredibly stupid, racist and fear mongering right wing Christians that are among them and think it's okay to beat children or send them off to fight in wars for no good reason? I hate them all, particularly the ones that assume I must be on the opposite side because I disagree with them and they don't know any other political ideologies the stupid pricks.
I love conversations like this, especially when they include these comments that make me laugh so hard my side splits. Anyways, there seems to be this mass confusion that Soldiers, Police, etc are all just brainless sheep that are going to follow any and all orders handed down to them no matter how extreme they are. Here is a crazy thought, they are people with the ability to think just like the rest of you (some seemingly a little better...). In fact, the only Soldiers I have ever met that would be willing to take anyone's gun are the worthless turds who are not very good Soldiers. So if you seriously believe you are going to have to fight the "war machine", you are probably being a little more extreme than those child abusing, war mongering Christians. |

just profit as much as you can until they shut down the whole system.
Shutting down bitcoin is like shutting down the internet. SOPA / PIPA / CISPA - funny you should say that. |

it seems like everyone is hoarding... I always thought prices could only change (up or down doesn't really matter) while trades are happening, now you come and say everyone is hoarding. Where does all the trade-volume come from, if noone's selling? That is why I created a board posing a question rather than a statement. |

So the more the economy grows, and the more that are spent the higher the price?

He would have to repurchase inventory sooner or later, so that would be one hell of a faithful investment.
What I am really looking at though, is once people are using them, once they are being passed back and forth and are easier to get, will less people be buying them and result in a price drop? Will more people buy them to come into the market?

...what happens when an economy comes into play? With all these new merchants starting to accept bitcoins, and the push for an economy, once they are actually being circulated what happens to the price?

I would assume he would buy the bitcoins never sell them, and pay back the loan asap working a job... Wouldnt it be better just to cash out the monthly loan payment and hope bitcoins price increase more than the APR? I have never taken a student loan, so how does this work? If tuition is $9k, and you take out a loan for $20k, isnt someone going to get suspicious? |

This idea is awesome! I might actually register for some classes so I can take out a student loan and do this.
But, I also have $20k student loan repayment through the Army that has never been touched.

GO balls deep! Im turning everything i own into btc..  Just seen someone was trading their family dog for btc lol It is not my family dog. It is one of the puppies out of the recent litter. The family dog is the white stud who will probably be fixed (and retired) after this year, but will not be going anywhere. |

They are beautiful but out of my price range
That actually just reminded me to update the btc prices. So, I did. |

I am interested but I'm not sure how I should cook the puppy.
Would you recommend sweet and sour sauce with cashews, an orange sauce, or stew with pepper, garlic, pineapple, and a hint of chili?
That is a pricey dinner! You must have someone really special to impress. Unfortunately, I cannot offer cooking advice. I burnt a Hot Pocket once... She is beautiful.  Thank you. |

You make a good point, I just worry about taxing the fun out of it. Especially since the play does involve real money.
For example, in Diablo 3 you can sell your gems and they get taxed 15%. Then if you want to move your funds to PayPal, another 15%. Which is good for the game, both gold and RMAH, but kills the motivation for players. Though, if balances are maintained internally and the only actual transactions that happen would be adding or removing funds, it would remove the transaction fee and a 5% tax on the sale of goods might not be a bad idea.
