A banking group warning me about the dangers of bitcoin is like a crack dealer pharmaceutical lobbyist warning me about the dangers of weed.
FTFY |
All posts by me after 2012 were a compromised account. Probably by "BBOD The Best Futures Exchange". SORRY Y'ALL

Their arguments against it could be used against any type of money. They are afraid of us.
Hopefully projects like BtcFn (bitcoin over freenet) and related will help to give people freedom in oppressive regimes. Also hopefully no country in EU will implement such stupid ideas. |

Nice find. All the payment processors that have the most to lose will be the first ones to fight bitcoin. Bitcoin truly looks like a Paypal killer. |

Well, what can I say...
When I found bitcoin - I thought governments and other criminals would be in trouble. Now I think they are COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY FUCKED!

Not really, but go ahead. |
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

Not really, but go ahead. I consider it an advertisement for Bitcoin and think it should be widely disseminated because it will get more people to ask what is Bitcoin. It basically says: WARNING, don't use bitcoins, they can be used for tax evasion and breaking the law, and makes it so we can't monitor for illegal activity, this will ruin society. I think it will have the same non-effect as: D.A.R.E. To Say No To Drugs, This is your brain on drugs, posters in the liquor store that say "drinking injures the teen brain", etc... |
Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

No, do waste the nuke on these guys. They are actually helping, although that is not their intent. I'm pretty confident that real members of Anonymous are reading this forum, and when a real threat to Bitcoin appears, we will see which side they are on. |

The lobby group is anyone who uses bitcoin. Its a decentralized lobby group in which anyone is a node and anyone can do their bit.  |

In all seriousness, wheres the bitcoin lobby?
We don't fight politics with politics, we fight it with technology. That is the way of the nerd.

If we could lobby for sound money, free trade, and legal drugs, what would we need bitcoin for? The point of bitcoin is not to get permission from government, but to make government irrelevant.

Sorry but that is total fail. |
