Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Fantastic movie; been on a documentary binge lately. Unrelated to Bitcoin, but if you like documentaries you might like This Film is Not Yet Rated.

I heard it was just a bunch of BS about how we need more regulations because the ones that got us into that mess weren't enough and capitalism is based on greed, blah, blah. Is that an accurate description? |

Reminds of Banks demanding Bailouts.
"The Bailouts made things worse", "Give us more Bailouts to fix the problem!".

Is that an accurate description? Pretty much. I turned it off part of the way through because it was irritating me. The premise I got from it was that the economic crises was caused by deregulation of the banks (they used Iceland as the beginning example). Deregulation of the banks, is of course, equivalent to free market policies, therefore, free markets and capitalism are bad and more government oversight is needed. I should probably finish the rest of it to be fair, but I don't really want to waste my time. government sponsored oligarchies != the free market |

Exactly what is it that causes the emotional reaction you are describing? The claim that the economic crisis was caused by deregulation (or not enough regulations) of the banks? |
If you always think in categories you will miss the bigger picture.

Deregulation certainly was the driving force behind the Iceland collapse...

Yes, the deregulation caused the problem. The solution is not more regulation, though, but rather abolishing the monopoly on money. Let banks run competing currencies, or least put the United States back on the gold standard. |

Yes lets let the Banks do things the way they want. It's not like they caused the financial nightmare going on around the world.
Move along, nothing to see here...

They already do things they way they want. The problem is, no one is allowed to compete with them. So what are you saying? |

If a country is on the Gold Standard you can't just print money out of thin air like they do now. there wouldn't be enough Gold to go around. They had to get rid of it to pave the way for Banks to print money for nothing, loan it out, and get real assets back in return(wether it be real Dollars or confiscated assets via forclosures and other scams - See the Great Greek Island Giveaway).

See, this is what you get for believing state-approved history books. The gold was confiscated after the switch to fiat started Gold standard means that the bills are exchangeable for gold. |

Yes, this is why gold based currencies have historically been very stable. |

Yes, this is why gold based currencies have historically been very stable. ...and also owned by a select handful of individuals and organizations, effectively making it useless as a circulating currency not only because of lack of availability, but extreme expense of even the smallest gold piece. The same people that created this problem own all the gold. |
