I'm glad you have an opinion, but did you do what asked? Did you ask JohnK to verify my claim that he accepted a copy of my passport (along with other photos) to prove who I am? No? Then you just have an opinion that is not substantiated by fact.
The burden of proof is on you to prove it is your passport, not a passport. So far you have provided no factual proof of this particular claim you are making. You have not verified my claim. Go ask JohnK. I did prove myself.

Actually a passport does not prove citizenship. It's simple a document that shows the residency of a person in a particular country.
A US passport does prove it, so does a French passport, but that's just for the sake of being exact ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

this thread is about facts:
1) the fact is that there are states and I can demonstrate this by pointing to a map LOL, by pointing to a piece of paper you can demonstrate a state exists? If you point to a piece of paper with a unicorn painted on it, you prove a unicorn exists?2) the fact is that there are citizens of various states as demonstrated by the fat russian This is called aleged fact (not proved).So where's my 100 btc?
So where is the evidence?

For one I don't care. Also even if I did, it would prove to me that you sent the picture of a passport to JohnK, not your passport, which you have yet to prove.

Moderator acknowledges that passports can be used to demonstrate citizenship. Now if you would just agree that a MAP represents states we could finish this nonsense and I could collect my 100 BTC.

Directly above where the moderator admits that passports demonstrate citizenship. I guess you must disagree with the mod but that is irrelevant as I've proven that citizens and states exist as per your contract.

Look at the pdf I linked to at the top where the US Government states that an America passport is proof of American citizenship.
Invalid argument (argument from authority). Viceroy, I hope you understand that an opinion of people who call themselves US Government is just an opinion, not an evidence. You are merely conveying someone else's opinion. BTW, do you have a picture of a state? Never seen one. Be a darling and show a picture of a state / any state.

I am quite interested to solve this matter since I have two citizenship and I am candidate for a third (which I would be a "subject", not really a "citizen"). I will pay 1 BTC upfront to anyone able to prove that I am not Brazilian or Italian, even less a candidate to become British. Anyone interested? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Oh, so common knowledge is an invalid argument. Do you want to try again with something other that nonsense? Perhaps some actual facts? This is not a philosophy course this is a contract that you are failing to pay which is amazing given the FACT that everyone in the room knows that citizens ans states exist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_knowledgeBy your definition air does not exist because I cannot show you a picture of it.

You only claim you have proven. You understand you prove with evidence, right?

This is a bold claim. Now tell me what is citizenship.

Yes I can show you a map. That is evidence of the existence of states. I can show you documents or passports which demonstrate the existance of the united states of america and that it has citizens.
This is all common knowledge.

Ahhhh being exact you could also say that a 'citizen' is a person who contributes to their country.
No, that's purely subjective. Citizenship is an attribute, a title if you will, not something that implies specific contributions and whatnot, liabilities maybe (like pay taxes and stuff), but certainly not any kind of contribution. Nowhere do you get your citizenship removed from you because you fail to do X or Y. Directly above where the moderator admits that passports demonstrate citizenship. I guess you must disagree with the mod but that is irrelevant as I've proven that citizens and states exist as per your contract.
I am not a moderator here. Also you still fail to prove the point I brought up a few times in a row ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Loozik I give your troll 8/10, kudos. Viceroy I give yours 1/10, booo.

Actually a passport does not prove citizenship. It's simple a document that shows the residency of a person in a particular country.
One could be a citizen of a country, but a resident in another. I can have either a Manx passport (British Islands) as a Manx citizen (by birth) or a British Isles passport (by residence).
Passports are specially made to prove the nationality of a person which is going to visit a foreign nation, which implies proof of citizenship. If I did not have my Italian passport I could never reside legally in UK since I would not able to PROVE to the Home Office and the Border Agency that I am an Italian citizen. Citizenship has nothing to do with where someone could reside, but all to do the person's background and right to be part of a nation.

The promise requires you to prove that you are a citizen, not that a citizen exists.

The promise requires you to prove that you are a citizen, not that a citizen exists. I demonstrated that to JohnK. Ask him for the proof, I cannot force him to come here and post.
