... countries are to a large extent just pawns on the chessboard of a few mentally deranged clowns that care more about stupid games than advancing humanity. I wonder how many more revolutions and generations it will take before governments either disappear entirely or start acting in the interest of humanity.
One revolution and one generation. Because Bitcoin exists, and that is enough. ™®

Bitcoinshit Bitcoinist is the Cryptsy of crypto news.

I wouldn't be all that surprised if some of us ended up in the last generation to miss out on longevity breakthroughs given that such research has been gaining more traction and financing in recent years (on top of technological and scientific advances).

It's one of your 'stupid games', as per quantum computing. meh some of us have lived quite long enough Have you studied AI/ML? There is no myth of AI, unless you're trying to argue about whether or not it is conscious in a way that humans are. And at that point you can only guess anyways, since we don't even know what human consciousness is or how it works, and I certainly don't even know if you have an experience of the world that is in any way comparable to mine or even any at all. ML/AI does fundamentally what humans do, which is gathering and assimilating information, and with higher computing power and other breakthroughs (physical interfaces for example), they will be producing tangible goods that will be beyond the sophistication of anything humanly possible. We already have algorithms that can fine tune other algorithms and there are first rudimentary steps towards algorithms programming programs (one example being an algorithm that "looks" at video footage of a game that recreates the underlying game engine). These algorithms are fundamentally just applied statistics, which is just applied Mathematics, which is equivalent to human interactions with the world in the most abstract form that we are aware of. None of these are a myth. P.S. I looked at the guy's bio and he's a computer scientist. As such, I don't really care too much about his opinion since he's not qualified to assess what AI is and what it is not, since as I've mentioned it's an extension of Mathematics, not of computer science. Will read once I got some food though.

really keen to see a move out of the 8610-7750 area
I doubt that there is any reason to get excited until we break one way or another in a broader range than the one you are suggesting, such as $6666 for the bottom and $10k for the top. Otherwise, no reason to get excited or write home about or try to prognosticate some kind of deeper merely because we are bouncing around and even breaking out in a smaller kind of way... gotta think BIGGER mFj. umm does that mean we have to talk "power toppers" and "guys going either way"? ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Seems that we can talk anything that we want - as long as we are not trolling and pumping out disingenuous disinformation regarding bitcoin. I am not too keen on some of the IQ discussion or the racial sexist bullshit, so sometimes we do need to filter through that kind of substance in order to read some more interesting bitcoin related posts. I will say that I kind of agree with you regarding the implications of a "professional" power top, and probably a better phraseology would have been for Bob to have self-described as an experienced power top or something like that, but I don't know details about Bob, except that he does seem to have decent amount of on-topicness in this thread, even when he is telling trolls to FUCK off.... haahahahahah... and I don't think that Bob is attempting to mislead anyone about anything, even though we all emphasize matters from time to time in ways that might be a bit stirring for some folks who have different life experiences and depending on the audience. Now you, on the other hand, we have no fucking clue about the extent of your genuineness (except that it appears that you are not genuine nor credible) with your repetitive conclusionary talking points, which are typical traits of trolls... to pump out distracting arguments, but fail and refuse to provide credible decent personal details that would cause us to conclude that you are an actual genuine person, rather than merely a paid shill that might be smart, but really makes a lot of dumbass points in order to distract us from really discussing substantive and meaningful bitcoin matters. I don't have too much hope in your nonsensical pattern, so far. ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) oh wow...think I need a serious cup of crushed bull soul on ice to ponder all you have said, mr genuine. btw where did you get the 6666 level from anyway? Get the fuck out of here with your patronizing nonsense and your attempt to act like you have some kind of superior knowledge when you don't... And your case for supposed superior knowledge is undermined further by both your newbie status and your coming into the thread with guns ablazed and acting like you know your way around here. I don't need to defend my numbers, especially to a poster like you who has been on the forum and in this thread in your current persona for only a couple of days and is already engaging in ad hominem attacks and denigrating of the ideas and online personas of your thread (and forum) status superiors. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

So as in my first line, you're coming from a position of philosophy. And when it comes to those realms, you can make any point as long as you expend enough effort into digging up supporting and logical arguments. And while I really love philosophical arguments for any case, however fringe it may or may not be, none of these will have any impact on the utility aspects and practical applications of knowledge and technology. Hence, even if the argument was objectively true (which it is not because it's circular) doesn't change the fact that ML/AI is going to be an overwhelmingly powerful tool that will not only be comparable to the jump of an ape to a human being, but in fact much greater. The question will be whether or not those tools will be external, or if we're going to enhance ourselves with them in a more direct manner (assuming that we don't go extinct). What exactly is btcbase?

Why would anybody give a rat's ass about regulation when decentralized exchanges are on the horizon? For the very first time in history regulators won't be able to dictate their rule upon citizens.
