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

[twiifm]

I recommend watching this=  http://youtu.be/hpAMbpQ8J7g   Slavoj Zizek investigates the surprising ethical implications of charitable giving.  

It touches on many discussions  that have been discussed here in this thread by many (soicety, freedom, (crony) capitalism, property, property is theft, big government,taxation/charity/socialism/welfare state etc) and it reaches a nice crescendo...  

Slavoj slaying it... even if you do not agree with everything he says he is a pleasure to listen to...brain nourishment.


 

I shared this shit out of this back when I first saw it. Cultural capitalism is such an interesting idea.

Yuck.  Post Lacanian charlatan.  Disconnected from reality.  So passe

I watched a random bit of the video... he was talking about the fact that 'charity does not solve problems, merely postpone their solution', and i agree. But then, all of a sudden, he mention that 'private property is the problem'. WTF? At that point he lost me.

Private property is essential because the difference between us and what we call property are so thin that if we relinquish the right to own things to 'society' then the step toward relinquish the right to 'own ourselves' is short.

Of course this is just my opinion. At everybody his own.

The little star behind the name stands for shitcoin, if you didn't get the memo...

Also, auroracoin once had a $900M market cap and it now has $100K market cap

I'm not an academic so I haven't written any papers.

But during my undergrad i was neck deep in Post Modernism.

After 9/11 I went to a Zizek lecture at The New School in NYC

He said that 9/11 was a self fulfilling prophecy because Hollywood movies like Independence Day blew up buildings.  At that point the audience giggled w nervous laughter.  At that moment I just got sick and walked away from PoMo.  Just cold hearted not to sympathize with the victims.  I guess their hatred of Bush overrode any humanity they had

Just recently a friend of mine did a graduate degree in some kind of 'cultural theory'.  Zizek was one of her instructors.  She wrote a paper linking debt to violence and sado masochism.  Some kind of sexual master slave relationship.  Then she asked me to lend her $5000 cause she ran out of student loan money.  LOL

This is how delusional and disconnected to reality

If you want an intellectual pursuit I do not recommend any Post Modernism.  Its just a waste of time and the people around that scene are nuts

I prefer a more pragmatic philosophy in the British/ American tradition.  I currently reading more economics.  Mostly MMT/ Post Keynesianism

Dont try to make sense if what he says.  He just wants to create controversy.  He political views are considered post Maoist and he considers himself a post Stalinist.

Serious philosophers like Chomsky thinks hes a charlatans.  The people who follow are these bohemian lazy kids

Woot it is a sign since that is a good lag indicator
To the moon ^_^

[razorramon]

a lot of people want the price down (shorts, buying cheaper, maybe COIN related...) but i think especially the new shorts from the last days expected major dumps that didn't happen only "smaller" dumps here or there but we are still in the same price area...i guess some of them get nervous soon
and there is a slow but steady move up...(longs & newbies)

somewhere between 485 and 500 bitcoin could destroy that chains and rise pretty quickly to 650...from there on a slower & steady rise to higher levels

an uptrend is inevitable...every day more people get into bitcoin

being bullish again feels so much more right

Credit Card Breach at Home Depot
http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/09/banks-credit-card-breach-at-home-depot/

God dammnit trolls and manipulators! 

Can't you just let Bitcoin take over already so we can stop with all these credit hacks?

This is actually one of the good reasons I hold BTC. Because everything seems to be getting hacked today, and in the worst cast scenario... at least you still have your BTC (assuming you keep your computer safe).

There is also the increasing probability of a major UK/US bank getting hacked or attacked into non-functionality. This could be due to criminal or geo-political reasons. The 'economic' sanctions targeting Russia now include financial transaction network disruption, make no mistake that this an act of economic warfare ... at some point the weak points in Western financial infrastructure (zombie over-leveraged fiat banks) will become the primary targets for retaliation.

Finally, I really miss the DDOS of exchanges.
I had one while trading on bitcoin24 back in april 2013.
It was one hell of an adrenaline rush back then,... I managed to convert all my FIAT to btc in the last minute before everything broke.
After a month or two I was able to withdraw my coins.
People who were in fiat are still waiting for their money...

They are preparing their population to accept the introduction of capital control (oh the irony).
