Alex Jones is pro-BTC, says his store will begin to accept as payment...

[lonestranger]

I think Alex Jones' role is to gather up the ignorant, patriot prepper community and soften them up for his survival products.  Dude's making a mint.

This is good for bitcoin, however, not a huge thing but good because his audience is huge.  So if just some of them buy some bitcoin that is very, very good.

BTW, he has put bitcoin off as long as he could because the owner of his network, Ted Anderson, owns Midas Metals, a gold bullion company.  Sort of like the Steve Schiff thing.

This is exactly what I was thinking. They start buying BTC to hide their purchases from the illuminati or nwo or whatever it is now, so the price would go up.

I have a feeling his audience will start lapping it up pretty quickly, and we might see a rally to $600 or higher.

I honestly don't think his fan base will be smart enough to figure out how to use bitcoin. If the average person isn't, the average Jonestownian definitely isn't.

there's a reason why there are quite a few of his supporters on this forum

As for online merchant, bitcoin is quicker and low fee, the only problem is less people use it now, finally it will became the best way or at least one way like credit card works

[pirsquared]

This guy seems to be kinda, well crazy.....

Um...yeah. For whatever reason he really puts me off too. He draws listeners and accepts/endorses bitcoin so I'm good with this news. I appreciate that he's not on the fence, but he is just a little too far away from the fence for me.

I have a genuine distaste for goldbugs even though I like bitcoin for some of the same reasons. AJ turns me off.

When people are concerned with their health and that of their loved ones it restores values in our society that clearly are not what they once were.  

Does being concerned for your dental health matter? Does caring about scientific measurements, concentrations, standards and realities matter?

I'm not sure why people being force fed toxic waste isn't something that merits attention to you but hey that is just me.

Fluoride is not toxic waste. Its a single atom missing an electron. You're overexaggerating in order to make a point which does not exist.

It is waste from the agricultural industry and they would normally have to pay to dump it somewhere.  Instead politicians make deals so people pay to put in their water, fact.  I've seen footage of it eating away at the pipes and your saying it's nothing to worry about.  Major college and others have stated it lowers IQ and shouldn't be in the water...  Nothing you've posted on the topic changes the truth so either educate yourself or simply stop spreading fud.

I grew up drinking fluoridated water every damn day and I'll be a monkey's uncle if I'm not smarter than every single brainwashee who is here circuitously defending Alex Jones' fat, stupid honor by arguing with me over the merits of water fluoridation.. You're doing a pisspoor job of it and if you think you don't need to provide evidence for your wild, unsubstantiated claims then you are mistaken.

Harvard University, ever heard of it?  They say otherwise about the safety of fluoride in water, they are not the only ones to prove it lowers iq and is dangerous for developing brains.

Also, one of the more interesting points from the article is this statement: "Virtually no human studies in this field have been conducted in the U.S."

From the Harvard study I suppose you are trying to reference:

"The researchers conducted a systematic review of studies, almost all of which are from China where risks from fluoride are well-established."

"Fluoride is a naturally occurring substance in groundwater, and exposures to the chemical are increased in some parts of China. Virtually no human studies in this field have been conducted in the U.S."

"They then analyzed possible associations with IQ measures in more than 8,000 children of school age; all but one study suggested that high fluoride content in water may negatively affect cognitive development."

OK I accept this point. Key words: HIGH FLUORIDE CONTENT. AKA: HIGHER THAN ANY CONTENT USED IN U.S. TAP WATER DISTRIBUTION.

They do dump it somewhere. There are companies who are paid to dispose of it.

Not a fact. If its a fact, prove it.

I agree with this.

Just because I'm not sitting there worshiping the high and mighty Alex Jones the Fifth, doesn't mean I'm an idiot. My parents drank fluoridated water, I did, and I remain as one of the most praised members among my colleagues. I don't even ask for the praise, they just give it to me... It's strange.

That was some years ago, however. Canada doesn't fluoridate their water past 50%, so I'm ok. My city doesn't do fluoridation.

You guys can go argue, but all I know is that I remain unaffected. Have fun!

Also, one of the more interesting points from the article is this statement: "Virtually no human studies in this field have been conducted in the U.S."

Why would I ignore it when it proves my point? You're basing your conclusions off of China studies where the levels of fluoride they consider to be "high concentrations" are 3-60x the MAXIMUM amount ever used to fluoridate drinking water in the U.S. Ergo, application of such results to the U.S. tap water situation is ignorant at best and disingenuous at worst.

The issue is that flouride in drinking water serves basically no purpose whatsoever:

"There is now a better understanding of how fluoride prevents dental decay. What little benefit fluoridated water may still provide is derived primarily through topical means (after the teeth erupt and come in contact with fluorides in the oral cavity). Fluoride does not need to be swallowed to be effective. It is not an essential nutrient. Nor should it be considered a desirable “supplement” for children living in non-fluoridated areas. Fluoride ingestion delays tooth eruption and this may account for some of the differences seen in the past between fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas (i.e. dental decay is simply postponed). No fluoridation study has ever separated out the systemic effects of fluoride. Even if there were a systemic benefit from ingestion of fluoride, it would be miniscule and clinically irrelevant. The notion that systemic fluorides are needed in non-fluoridated areas is an outdated one that should be abandoned altogether."
-Dr. Hardy Limeback BSc PhD (Biochemistry) DDS
Head, Preventive Dentistry, University of Toronto

Decline in tooth decay has not been affected by ingesting fluoride.  Being in toothpaste may help, but there are other factors that have helped.  Whether or not you think its harmful to your health is one thing, but there is no reason to be ingesting it AT ALL.

Well thats funny because 2 minutes ago the issue was the American government is mind-controlling its citizens with fluoride.

"There is now a better understanding of how fluoride prevents dental decay. What little benefit fluoridated water may still provide is derived primarily through topical means...

You proceed to quote an opinion piece written by 1 man 14 years ago.

Meanwhile, the American Dental Association says this, today:

“The Association endorses community water fluoridation as a safe, beneficial and cost-
effective public health measure for preventing dental caries (cavities). This support has been the Association’s policy since 1950.”

Please point me to where I equated fluoride to mind control.  Now you are flat out making things up, so I won't be able to take anything else you say seriously.

Secondly, water fluoridation began in the 1940's when dentists thought ingestion would benefit dental health.  BTW that guy is definitely not the only one to show fluoride applied topically is what brings about benefits, not ingestion.

Close enough jcoin.

Most conspiracy theorists say low IQ = Fluoridation = Mind control. So I'm using that definition.
