Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

I guess I'll give you points for being consistent: you're probably not simply 'anti Bitcoin', but against the larger development of excessive 'financialization' (through financial derivatives), right?

You bet.

Money is not real wealth, it is just a token that one can exchange for real wealth things and stuff.

Real wealth is something that most of the "intellectual powerhouses" here will never understand or have; they are too busy obsessing over accumulating stuff and things, measuring themselves against illusions and performing in a loaded game.

real wealth is knowledge.

all other things are...well...things.

That's so fucking profound. Thanks for that original and enlightening thought.
I'm curious what YOU measure yourself against and how you think you're doing. Don't say you don't do it.  All that would mean is you have no interest in self improvement.

Tell me, oh wisetits, how should I measure myself?

you are a stupid fuck so you try to measure everything against something.

but there are some categories that arent really measurable.
  

No, sweetheart- I'm an economist which means I try too measure everything against something. That's what economists do. If something isn't subjectively or objectively measurable, it doesn't exist.

you can call your mama sweet.

so ideas/thoughts dont exist?

and yet, many people here concluded that you are stupid as fuck. care to explain that in numbers?

Of course thoughts and ideas exist. That's why we use phrases such as "good thought" or "bad idea". We measure them against other thoughts or ideas. For example: arguing with a woman is usually a bad idea for the same reason arguing with a cat is a bad idea.

I have done both with great success in the past.

But I am a fucking wizard so... no biggie.

You could at least put smiley at the end, somebody with sarcasm detector broken may actually think you are serious. Or you think that philosophers bothered in vain with metaphysics for centuries, when you can resolve the issue so simply?

Let me guess, particle physics?  The cat owned you, amirite?

Libertarians discussing education is sorta like cats discussing particle physics.

no, we use phrases like "bad idea" because at some point reality and the numbers comes in.

you dont argue with a woman not because that is a bad idea per se, but because you are evidently more stupid.

And another full day spending behind your computer screen trolling ahead of you! Such a life! How much are you going to make today? $40,- ?
Sometime i feel bad for you, i really do. You probably have been picked on your whole life and fell out of school because of that, and now this life

Anyway..Maybe you still have that exciting trip to the grocery store this week ahead of you, at least something to look forward to

Lambie, livin la vida loca :*

^Why so dour, friend?  Your slick BTCeanie investment not making you disruptively rich with the mathematical certainty of a black swan tipping point?

The empiricists said it long before me, but you did catch the context, right? In economics, things that can't be compared to something else don't exist. We always ask "as compared to what?"

Coffee is expensive. As compared to what?

Some women are aggravating. As compared to what?

This is a waste of my time. As compared to what?

Hitting myself in the head with a shovel is tempting. As compared to what?

OMG, I sent all my coin to Anon calling hisself Havelock, and nao he gone done and runed away!

Sorry for your loss, bro

terrists killerz gotta haz some coins!  What is the total funding for jihadists that can be confirmed so far? ~5 BTC?

It's pretty safe to say that FBI > threat than bitcoin by a long, long margin.


Confidential Informant Played Key Role in FBI Foiling Its Own Terror Plot

https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/02/25/isis-material-support-plot-involved-confidential-informant/

Crucially, it appears that only after the introduction of the informant did any actual actual arrangements to commit a criminal act come into existence.

It stands to reason that during this extended time period, particularly after a seemingly unhinged Juraboev openly expressed his violent and criminal fantasies to FBI agents, other tactics of intervention could have been taken to prevent he and Saidakhmetov from going down this path.

The covert informant under the direction of the FBI evidently helped encourage the two toward terrorism over the course of these months. Instead of dissuading them, the informant went so far as to watch recruitment videos with the 19-year old Saidakhmetov and help him make his travel documents.

A 2011 study conducted by Mother Jones and the Investigative Reporting Program at the University of California-Berkeley found that of 508 post-9/11 terrorism defendants, “Nearly half the prosecutions involved the use of informants, many of them incentivized by money,” with operatives being paid as much as $100,000 per assignment. Of the sting operations that resulted in terrorism arrests, nearly a third are believed to have been led by an agent provocateur in the employ of the FBI.

trying to hide now your ignorance behind "we" and economics?

you took a quick training in economics from bitcoiners and you are already calling yourself an expert?

Never said you Bitcoiners weren't stingy
I remember Humble Bundle accepting BTC, I think those folks got substantially less than 5 coinz.
Lesson learned, I suppose.
