Heh, strawmen 4TL. Selling coupons for an hour at Wally World isn't worth beans in Poughkeepsie.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

I asked my father -- who is behind me -- what he thought of this:

"Sounds Un-American, son."



Ask him if he thinks Abraham Lincoln's greenbacks were unamerican? They didn't rely on a federal reserve and worked fine!

Abraham Lincoln is Un-American. He violated the constitution more than any other president.

We digress, well I'm not american and I guess my knowledge of american history is not very good but I'm really surprised you say that. I had an impression of him as quite nationalist and with great respect for ths original constitution.


Anyway here's my two satoshi on the caption I prefer  "A self governing currency system"  to a self contained financial system
