There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Now the US will bribe them to raise their credit rating to an AAA, and fall deeper into debt.  |

Apparently people who want to limit government spending are now officially domestic terrorists.

So I guess people still tune in to the theatrics that is politics. I stopped paying attention a long time ago when I realized it was all just a show to keep people staring at the fire and not the real issues.

Self interest for whom? You realize that all this means is that the government will be giving more money to the banks in interest. |

Credit agencies should be shutdown because people don't like their opinion. They should probably be tried for treason as well.

Yo dawg, I heard you liked trading volatility, so I wrote an option, on your ETF, that's backed by futures, written on an index, whose value is derived from options, on stocks, within another index. Seriously though, it exists. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=VIXY |

First of all all 3 ratings agencies violated the law when that where publicly speculating during the debt-ceiling kabuki theater. The law prohibits them from giving a rating until they have done an analysis. Pretty hard to do an analysis when you don't know what the final legislation is going to be.
Secondly, mortgage backed securities where rated AAA ...how did that where out? Some AAA MBS experienced 80% default rates within 90 days of being given that rating!
Their corporate charters should be revoked.
