I'd say taking the nationality out of currency would be a step up towards international accountability. Bitcoin likely won't manage that, but they could resolve many technical challenges that lay the groundwork for a later success. Currently several central banks control the most important world currencies, and they tend to favor the currently wealthy when they need to act.

Not sure who that relates to M&PD....

Have fun stormin the castle!

You can't take the nationality out of a currency to make it international. All that does is make it defunct. You have to saturate a currency with national currencies to make it international. It's the history of money. Because when push comes to shove it is nation states that have both the push and the shove. What buttcoiners have is electricity bills, tax evasion charges, some esoteric math, and angst. That rises from a fundamental misunderstanding of what money represents. I honestly think it does, I'm not trying to be a sneering jackass. And maybe buttcoiners are even right some arbitrary percentage of the time for some arbitrary number of possible human transactions -- but if they're not 100% right 100% of the time it does not matter.

And they're just not. It is not entirely rational, nor is it entirely irrational.

That said, I respect the dream. Maybe something technical of use can be salvaged from this fools hope.

I think the many people who want BTC to replace fiat currency are misguided for the reasons Iannis stated, but as a way to transfer liquidity I think it's here to stay.

It's my birthday, turned 34, stayed out last night until 2 and had a great time even though I can't drink. Had sex three times like I was 20 again.

A guy I kind of know recently got a $600,000 loan to buy computers for bitcoin farming. I have no idea if it's going to work or not, but I was astonished that he got a banker to loan him money for something as dicey as bitcoin for 7% interest or whatever you get on a small business loan these days.

I wish people would stop doing that.

I've seriously started to wonder if bittcoins are a revolutionarily viral nvidia advertising campaign. It would be absolutely ducking brilliant, and absolutely evil.

Tell me about it, Brutul. The guy is in his mid 20's, and hasn't done a damn thing with his life. How do you go about acquiring a loan for $600k without any capital of your own to show the bank that you're a worthy investment? Crazy shit right there.

I was bored and be drankin yo so I looked it up. It only verifies that the chain has been verified for each transaction. Each transaction hashes the transaction value using SHA-256, meaning it requires the miners to hash the value until they reach a hash value that has X number of leading zeroes. Which is why it is cryptographically difficult for the miners to achieve. But I have no idea what the limiting factors might be, a smarter drunk than me might. So if Bob sends Alice 50 bitcoin, the miners validate that by hashing the transaction value into X number of leading zeroes, which is determined by some algorithm that tries to ensure that validation takes on average 10 minutes, and also that the chain behind those bitcoin have been validated. Validating the past transactions should be trivial compared to the actual hashing.

But I am but a simple farmer, I know not what other factors may cause bitcoin to become eventually insolvent.

Lol. Depending on when he got his farm set up he might break even. But right now the difficulty is too high.

So something weird has happened in my situation where after years of no sexual interest she got diagnosed with MS last Wednesday and the past few days has been a bit frisky all a sudden. She has said for those years not feeling well or knowing why didn't feel well was the reasons behind it, but it is almost as if now that she knows she is ready to move on and try to live life some.

She's scared. That's a fairly primal response.

I wouldn't expect miracles, but maybe that fear will nudge her out of depression a little.

Realistically, MS isn't bad though. I was diagnosed 6 years ago. I'm on an oral medication now that the FDA approved it. Previously, I was on a daily injection then a weekly injection. The pill is a nice change from that.

Having MS is all about being positive. If you assume the world is ending, then it will. It's really strange how your state of mind causes the disease to respond differently.
But yeah, there's a low chance that anything really terrible will happen to her as a result of the disease. Just take your medications and go on with life. It could be a lot worse.

I'm in love bros. That's real talk. Should I hold frame and treat that bitch like the hypergamous slut she is? WWRPD?

Consider the following:

1) The first time she said she loved me was directly after she asked me to cum on her back and I obliged
2) She requested that I fuck her in the ass
3) She's expressed interest in stimulating my prostate
4) She literally loves giving me head. So much so that she was slightly upset the other night when I couldn't finish because we had so much sex that day I was overstimulated

She's going to love it if I pee in her butt. Welp, guess I'm gonna pee in her butt.

Shit, I just made her seem batshit crazy
