We can now expect another BTC rally as new people discover Bitcoin from this article.
However - we can expect the BIG ONE in two years when the yield of a block drops from 50 to 25 BTC at block 210,000
oh man... block #210,001 is going to be EPIC. |

Chuck Schumer is the biggest blowhard in the U.S. Senate. No one takes him seriously and he doesn't stay focused on much long.
Unfortunately, being taken seriously and setting policy that gets people shot are two different things in the states at this point. |

Unfortunately, I think WE might be the monkeys... The senator is off screen, trying to convince the alpha male of the tribe to throw rocks at it from the cliffside. |

Except that's not how legislatures work. Other people in the Senate have to take him seriously for him to get anything done. And they don't. |

Your use of WE in that statement is exceedingly liberal. While you cower in fear and beat the drum of defeat the real WE is .... oh yeah, we're mining bitcoins, get into it or get out of the way lest you be trampled by the freedom seeking mob. |

This whole damned forum is exceedingly liberal, even by my standards, and as an individual I have had terrible problems with authority my entire life. This new libertarian standard of no-compromise total war is just too authoritarian for me.

Words cannot even begin to describe the lack of a coherent thought within these sentences. |

A single word can describe it, actually: Irony.

It's an online form of money laundering used to disguise the source of money, and to disguise who's both selling and buying the drug," said Schumer. I suppose technically it could be considered money laundering because you can't trace the source of the money I haven't actually read the laws, but from what I am given to understand, literally any financial transaction can technically be considered money laundering. |

Quick! Someone cross post OCN and see how long until it gets deleted.
They deleted one of my posts that said "What's the first rule of bit club? (On OCN)"
Lool...

I've already received a response from one of my Senators' Washington office (Jim DeMint R SC). I could not return his call in time, today, but will be talking to them tomorrow.
I am presenting this as a registered business owner; that prohibition of Bitcoin will result in a lost economic opportunity for both my state and for the US.
South Carolina has shown a lot of interest and invested a lot of money in attracting and retaining tech businesses. I'll report back, if the call proves fruitful.

The only way government will ever support this if it's regulated. How the hell are they going to regulate this? Make businesses submit BTC receipts to the IRS for tax purposes? |

Good luck, Fhtagn! Here's a strange coincidence - I just happened to begin reading some Lovecraft when you made this post. I cannot hazard a guess at the fortune of this.
