Been watching this pop up from time to time over the last year and a half... Im beginning to think this OP was a god damn genius. Ha Ha...

The funny thing is that the OP is one of the biggest idiots to have frequented these forums. And that's saying something ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I think the OP is a prophet. How can one have an opinion on the other posts of the OP? It appears to be an unreachable guest account. OP is/was Atlas, among many other pseudonyms he took after being repeatedly banned for turning everything into an argument about why governments across the world will fall to libertarian ideals (you could be talking about which soda you prefer, and Atlas will surely come in and start ranting about the soda Nazis, and why libertarians must drink unlicensed soda to rebel against government oppression). When not derailing threads, his range of topics (which varied greatly, along with personality, depending on which sock account he used) included "everyone should use blue light bulbs" and "I can't make the 'u' thing on my keyboard." His MO consisted mostly of quoting dead people and complaining about the heavy-handed moderation policies. As you probably know, you basically can't post anything on this forum without having your thread being deleted by Thermos the Tyrant.

Atlas was a child with a great mind. He will be truly great one day, but while he was here he mostly aggravated everyone with his inmature worldview and narrow ideology. He needs to grow up some, but I have no doubt that he has enough of his own bitcoins that he many never want for anything.

"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."

You used to be a lot more PC and supporting of the forum. Someone did something to you? Theymos maybe? BTW: I miss the Atlas vs. Matthew threads. They were some of the most entertaining on the forum. Some people at the time were speculating over whether Atlas and Matthew were the same person. They weren't the same person they were just both equally peculiar. The arguments were entertaining because both of them were very intelligent, well read and immature to the point of infantile.

it is as utopian
Nope, far from it. It simply recognizes that there is a "less bad" way than using violence to accomplish things. It doesn't promise perfection or even close to it. It implicitly recognizes that perfection is not achievable. Taxes are actually the simplest and easiest way to fund some things
Similar reasoning is behind why you'll find your car windows broken out if you park in certain places. Seems like this MEP agrees with you. http://adask.wordpress.com/2013/12/05/it-wont-be-long-before-the-people-storm-this-chamber-and-hang-you-and-theyll-be-right/The debates in the European parliament can be fun to watch sometimes.

http://astrohacker.com/ahc/bitcoin-is-the-economic-singularity/After reading this, the scale of black market and digital economies and the effect Bitcoin will have on them I am pretty certain we are going to be very wealthy men -- even with a sum as small as 10 Bitcoins. It's just so hard to believe. We are only in the beginning storms with these significant rallies from 10 to 20 dollars. I will not be surprised to see prices from hundreds to thousands in the coming months. The world just isn't going to be the same and we have been blessed as the pioneers. What are you going to do with your Bitcoin wealth once your coins hit upwards of $10,000 a pop? It's gonna take a while for bitcoins to hit $10,000. But if they do I would probably cry, as I sold my bitcoins at $100, I turned down an investment opportunity to spend $6000 on them at around the same price range, and I usually spend them when I get them now. But what can you do.

So, I just watched this years Nobel price ceremony on TV, and it struck me that if Bitcoin becomes the revolution some of us think. And if the person(s) behind the name Satoshi Nakamoto can be identified, He/she/they will most likely be awarded the Nobel prize in economics.
Edit: Witch would be rather ironic since that prize was added in 1968 by the Swedish national bank.
