Thomas Jefferson would have alive, he would have love bitcoin. Thomas Jefferson third president of USA ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.talkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F07%2F09%2FZRwuJ.jpeg&t=665&c=l0zzzcc01V6G8Q) Thomas Jefferson was a huge slave owner. Plus he was fucking and making kids with them. Anything he speaks about freedom is pretty much a fucking joke. https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Thomas_JeffersonSlaves and slavery Main article: Thomas Jefferson and slavery Jefferson slaves Jefferson's 1795 Farm book, page 30, lists 163 slaves at Monticello. Jefferson lived in a Virginia planter society economically dependent on slavery. A wealthy slave owner himself, he employed slave labor which he depended on to run his household and work the fields and shops. Children of slaves began work at the age of ten, either in the fields, the nailery, the textile shop, or in the houses according to their capabilities. Children under ten usually minded the infants or did other light work in and around the house.[220][221] Yet throughout his life Jefferson maintained that the institution of slavery was harmful to both slave and master in his writings and discourse.[222][223] His views on slavery and African slaves, however, were complex; historians are divided on whether he truly opposed the institution largely because Jefferson was publicly silent on emancipation during his presidency and only freed a few slaves on his Monticello plantation.[224][225] Some researchers suggest Jefferson's slave ownership contradicted his philosophy of "all men are created equal".[224] Other historians, however, maintain that the sentiment in this statement is what actually inspired and drove Jefferson to advance legislation to abolish slavery and that [226] he believed slavery was contrary to the laws of nature where everyone had a right to personal liberty.[227] Jefferson attempted to legislate the emancipation of slaves on three occasions; once in 1769 at the Virginia General Assembly,[228] another in 1784 at the Continental Congress [229] and once when he proposed to ban slavery in all Western Territories after 1800 where he was defeated by Congress by one vote.[224] Over the course of his life he owned some 600 slaves, buying and selling them as required, maintaining about 130 at any one time.[230][231] On a number of occasions Jefferson would also purchase slaves to unite families.[232][233] Jefferson held a paternalist view towards his slaves, frequently referring to them as his extended family who needed his guidance, discipline and protection.[234][235] Jefferson accepted conventional thought during his lifetime that Africans were an inferior race. In his 'Notes on the State of Virginia' (1785), he expressed a "strong suspicion" that the Negro was inferior to whites in both the endowments of body and mind but wasn't sure if it was because they were a "distinct race" or were so because of "time and circumstances".[236][237] Historians have generally described Jefferson as a benevolent slaveowner,[238][239][240] though some historians have expressed doubts about that.[241] Jefferson did not allow his slaves to be overworked and gave them Sundays, Christmas and Easter off.[238][239][240] According to a former Monticello slave, slaves were seldom punished except for stealing or fighting or other extreme offenses, though there were some cases of excessive whippings at the hand of overseers.[242][243] Slaves were provided with log cabins with a fireplace, good clothing and food and were allowed to have their own gardens and raise chickens which, along with eggs and produce, were sold by more than half the adult slaves to the Jefferson household.[244] Throughout Jefferson's political career he opposed the international slave trade. His proposed solution for the slavery dilemma was to transport freed slaves to Africa where they could set up an independent black nation, leaving the United States a country primarily of European-American and Native Americans. In his annual message to Congress in 1806, President Jefferson called for outlawing the trans-Atlantic slave trade, asking Congress to "withdraw the citizens of the United States from all further participation in those violations of human rights . . . which the morality, the reputation, and the best of our country have long been eager to proscribe." Congress complied and on March 2, 1807, Jefferson signed the Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves into law; it took effect 1 January 1808, the earliest date permitted by the Constitution.[245][246] The abolition of the slave trade was a major achievement of Jefferson's presidency.[247] Jefferson, while President, privately sought to deport emancipated Virginia slaves through British and Portugal companies to Sierra Leone off the coast of Africa, however, these efforts were unsuccessful.[248] Southern contemporary critics viewed Jefferson was opposed to slavery for his Notes on the State of Virginia, his letter to Benjamin Banneker in 1791, and his reference to St. George Tucker's federal plan to purchase and free slaves.[249] Jefferson's 1803 Louisiana Purchase treaty allowed slavery to continue as the French were assured that there would be no interference with their interests when the purchase was made.[250] While Jefferson on occasion had expressed reservations about releasing unprepared slaves into freedom it was something he had always wanted to do according to his main overseer of slaves, Edmund Bacon and his slave Joseph Fossett. Jefferson freed five slaves in his will providing a monetary endowment and trade tools to aid in making a living. Jefferson also successfully petitioned the Virginia legislature to allow freed slaves to remain in Virginia. However, Jefferson's encumbered debt from an agricultural depression and the mortgaging of his slaves, legally prevented him from freeing the remaining slaves who were later auctioned locally by his surviving family to pay his creditors and avoid their confiscation by Virginia debt law.[251][252][253][254] here is a list of 163 he had at one time ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2F3%2F33%2FJefferson_slaves.jpg&t=665&c=A4Ap6ac4ONeH9A) Phil, let's not be too hard on the man (with a purported IQ of 190); we shouldn't judge historical figures by today's moral standards and slavery wasn't generally considered immoral in the early 1800's when he passed on. In the words of the great Aristotle - "since such a great number of men are not virtuous, laws are necessary". By the way, Aristotle had some questionable views on slavery even among his contemporaries and yet his work on "ethics" continues to be influential in western philosophy. @HelliumZ, While Jefferson didn't trust in the banks to do the right thing, that quote you posted is totally made up. On a lighter note: Nicolae Guta - Poa' sa vina ploaia ma duc la MamaiaSorry ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) It's my favourite summer song and indicative of my summer of (bitcoin) sideways. edit: The song plays on the word Mamaia which is a popular destination for summer vacations in Romania and also the word for parent. So the guy says he's going to Mamaia and has no problem with food and he doesn't even have to pay for accommodations and then later he wakes up to a nice warm morning looking to drink a coffee on a beach somewhere at his mother's garden (in gradina la Mamaia mea) I am more inclined to defend Christopher Columbus then Thomas Jefferson. I also don’t care much for the Adams family. not the tv show. but sam adams and john adams are not on my list of outstanding old school founders. George Washington Ben Franklin I liked. Of course when dealing with 250year old history we are likely to not have great acurate facts.

Yeah, seems like he was affected too. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) But it seems to have hit some bots if I'm reading it correctly. I wasn't able to write any posts here at the weekend either so I gave up at some point.

There’s a new mtgox status report out. It’s confidential so I don’t want to be the one to leak it for legal reasons, but I’m sure by morning it will be all over the place. Worth keeping an eye on if you’re a trader and want to be first in the know.

The creditors were supposed to be paid by September this year. What's new? Do they have to wait again for the legal procedure to be finished?

Since the Chartbuddy bot is set up, the captcha is not being filled. This is the main reason why Chartbuddy is not currently posting. Because only human can fill captcha. Chartbuddy will post when started by the owner.

Hell, you don't need electricity either, just a trusty carrier pigeon to deliver a hand-signed transaction to the Bitcoin Mill. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Do you know how it works? You did not explain anything except for sharing the source. The source you provided did not explain anything as well. Does anybody know if it's possible? If so, How?
I looked it up and its based on SMS messaging, which means the bitcoin is actually custodied by a third party service and bitcoin "credit" is transacted from phone to phone. The concept was actually first executed with M-PESA in 2007 (using a local African currency rather than BTC of course): https://www.vodafone.com/about-vodafone/what-we-do/consumer-products-and-services/m-pesa

Thanks for the heads-up, that is indeed a pretty serious exploit/bug.. Updating my instance reminded me of how much I hate the whole ruby-on-rails mess. Would have been a good moment to quit Wokistan (aka the Fediverse) for good, but then again my ego doesn't too easily surrender to security problems so I'll probably rage-quit it at later point in time ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

BREAKING: $800 billion Standard Chartered Bank now forecasting $120,000 #Bitcoin price by 2024 ~snip~
You don't need to have $800 billion or be a banker for such speculation - everyone who knows how to use their own brain assumes that the next ATH will be at least x2 of the previous one, which means that we hope that the price will reach at least $140 000.
