Actually I agree the guy looked very likeable.

When writing "get him" I was interested to find out who he is, now knowing that you know him, even better: Now we may be able to explain a bit better what the benefits of bitcoins are.

I am facebook friends with him.  I know exactly who he is, he's stayed over at a friend of mines house.  As I said before, there's no point in trying to convince him anything once his mind is made up.  He's still convinced Dick Chaney personally installed thermite in the WTC.

He's most likely wrong about him doing it personally, but beyond that...

Do you think it is impossible that planes full of jet fuel could have burned the building enough to deform the steel frame of the building causing a collapse?

Yes, that too. Also it's clear the buildings gave in starting at the bottom going up and then falling into their own footprint. Damage at the top would not have done that, only controlled demolition would have. Not to mention world trade center 7 fell the same way without getting hit by any planes.

I'm not gonna get into it, but 9/11 threads are good fly traps IMO.  Shouldn't have been so naive to think we don't have nutters who don't understand physics here too.  Or just naive or ignorant.  But we can take it to another thread if you want.

No need. I'm satisfied I'm not a nutter and that jet fuel could not have collapsed those buildings, certainly not the way they did. The way I see it the only ones insane are the ones believing otherwise. A bomber crashed into the empire state building before and that building is still standing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r-KXXsN8vc&feature=related And no, I don't believe the official pancaking crap. Feel free to feel all l superior for siding with the bought and paid for government experts. I suppose you also believe in the global warming cult.

A B-25 bomber weighs 21,120 lbs.
A 767 weighs 395,000 lb.

This is like getting hit by a marble and saying that a bowling bowl would do the same damage.

I don't need to side with government experts, I'll side with my anarchist expert.  One floor of the WTC weighed a LOT.  That much weight dropping 10-12 feet results in a HUGE force.  If a plane can cut a hole in the side of it, one floor falling can certainly do as much damage.

Eventually with all our toasty electronic hashing machines we will be the global warming cult.

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

This is like getting hit by a marble and saying that a bowling bowl would do the same damage.

More importantly, a B-25 has a fuel capacity of 670 gallons. A Boeing 767 has a fuel capacity of between 16,000 and 24,000 gallons. It's not even in the same ballpark.

Do not waste your time debating whether Bitcoin can work. It does work.

"Early adopters will profit" is not a sufficient condition to classify something as a pyramid or Ponzi scheme. If it was, Apple and Microsoft stock are Ponzi schemes.

There is no such thing as "market manipulation." There is only buying and selling.

Oh I've just realised that this topic is mine so I can stop this 9/11 debate if I want.

And I do want to stop it.

Sorry guys.      Smiley
