For those who are suffering Multiple Sclerosis or any sort of chronic disease, I understand your suffering (even though others readers really can't feel and understand your suffering) and I want to tell you that I am having a miraculous result thus far several days after a 10 day fasting.

...

 

This is so incredibly off-topic but while you are at it let me suggest: have you tried getting your hands on local coconut vinegar? kind of looks like this:



Although I believe this one is the "tuba" derivative which is consumed as an alcoholic beverage.

When I'm in the Philippines it's part of almost all of my meals and has the perfect combination of coconut goodness and the spice you're looking for (I believe they use bird eyes chilies to make it)

Anyway... good stuff  

Whoa Alex, I am also currently besotted by the culinary applications of tuba.  It's like we are tuned into a common cosmic wavelength!  My (retail) bottle is a spicy MSG-laden variety.  It's great, although I envy the those enjoying the homemade stuff.

Nice to hear TPTB is having positive results from fasting.  I hope he gets some (properly manufactured) colloidal silver drops in his gimp eye ASAP.

Let the Islamists try to take Texas and they will all be served for dinner on a Texas barbecue!

What happened to Greece   Afaik, you guys used to be warriors and athletic specimens. Turned into a socialist, pussy state. I don't know the history of Athens well. Did you ever have widespread individual use of weapons?

Damn straight about the Texas BBQ.  Our fundies are 2000 years ahead of their fundies.

As for Greece, please don't presume to understand socioeconomics if you are nearly entirely unaware of the deep history of silver, triremes, and sovereignty.

Get some John R Hale in your n00b life, and then get back to us Lords of the Sea.

This young punk Smoothie is on some kind of vendetta against me. That is apparently why he is quoting my posts. As if he thinks I am going to go back and edit them or delete my 100,000 posts in the past years.

Lets not forget that despite smoothie lives in a cool place " hawaii" he is still very much a young kid. Every post he has ever made including his obsession years ago with trashing ixcoin proves his mentality is that of a child.

I am not surprised and also expected a reaction like this.

Mellow out smoothie, go catch some waves, you've clearly got island fever of some kind

I don't know if this is him, his relative, caretaker or what.

Being on the internet (Bitcointalk etc) does only give my fingers any real cardio.

By my own profession (software developer) usually I am in a sitting position behind a computer screen for countless hours every day for the last 15 years.

This thread is to document and possibly (hopefully) encourage others who post on this forum to live a little (at the very least) more healthier.

Anyone who has spent time on this thread knows that ion.cash (tptb_need_war) is an honest and forthright, so maybe we support him with some positive trust.

I have left a positive score to counter smoothies dickish rating, not sure if it's visible though or needs moderator approval.

And why a negative score was permitted when it was obviously left there for childish reasons.

Left some positive feedback for him. OTOH; Smoothie as "Doubting Thomas"? Do they have a history together? Well; somebody had to play that role I guess...

[TPTB_need_war]

Very much appreciated. Apologies for the drama. I think it is time for more action and less words.

Btw, I see no Positive trust ratings from anyone on my Trust. Does anyone else see any? What is going on?

[wizzardTim]

I also gave TBTB - ion.cash positive feedback, because I trust he will deliver the coin with the specs provided.

This might explain the issue. Maybe you both are banned from trust system? :

Click on "show ratings" under untrusted feedback and you should see a few positive ratings  

Not sure why they aren't showing under your avatar though. Time delay? Mod approval?  

[illodin]

The visible trust rating (next to the avatar) is affected by the people you trust. And the forum has a list of people who you trust by default. Smoothie is one of them for some reason.

Go here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust and add or remove people from the list of the accounts you trust.

[TPTB_need_war]

I added the following removals from my trust:

~smoothie
~gmaxwell
~majamalu
~Carlton Banks
~evoorhees

I just noticed that Trust doesn't display in most of the forums. Apparently only in the altcoin forums?

And everyone said I was a kook in 2013 when I said FATCA was the framework that would lead to a global taxation cooperation. The Europeans in this forum were particularly upbeat at that time  

It’s pretty much the global version of the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a bold piece of legislation the U.S. passed back in 2010.

Now they attack the messenger again. When will these fools ever learn?

It seems your project has attracted a group of jealous trolls what a fucking mess that thread is, atleast (for the time being) they have confined themselves to that thread..

I won't be posting about ion in any thread other than that one and the one that I have moderated. So I can delete their nonsense if they bring it my thread. And hopefully that other thread will soon be such a mess that it can just be ignored and die off.

The time to start withdrawing CA$H from bank accounts was about 5 - 10 years ago.  That should have become clear during the 2008-2009 financial crisis.

The time to start buying gold was AT LEAST 15 years ago (.com Crash).

There is a Chinese saying which I cannot remember exactly, but runs something like this:

The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago.  The second best time is now.

So, if you distrust The System, you should be taking money (hey, it doesn't have to be a lot) out now.  Take some cash out, buy some gold.  Other preparations if you see a bad times ahead (almost inevitable, IMO, the question is to what degree).

Solid advice! I think though, that despite all the black scenarios, the transition will be happening silently and as we speak. No cataclysmic event should take place in order for the world to incorporate a brand new better economic system. Right now, BTC seems like the best alternative while, we don't really know, if TPTB already have something else in mind. One thing's for sure, we're in for a wild ride...
