basically this forever and ever http://www.loper-os.org/?p=939 "Bitcoiners are pounding in nails with a microscope, because they have insisted on faithfully re-creating the financial institutions of the meatspace world – banks, stock markets, derivatives trading, and the like – without any of the familiar meatspace law enforcement mechanisms (police and courts) or the best-known traditional black-market alternative to these mechanisms: the threat of immediate physical violence as an incentive to promise-keeping."

[–]amagimetals 2 points 11 hours ago Stay strong entrepreneurs! [–]ericatnewsbtc 2 points 10 hours ago It is very hard. I've been running a small bitcoin news website at newsbtc.com for almost a year. I've been criticized, insulted, and generally not trusted despite my best intentions. It's all in a day. I spend over 50 hours per week on my site in addition to working 50+ hours weekly at a day job. All for the amount of page views a potential advertiser would scoff at. [–]Bipolarruledout 2 points 7 hours ago Suicide rates are sky high right now for one reason and one reason only; the economy sucks rear end. People hate being out of work and feeling like they have no purpose in life. Even if they are employed they're likely being worked to death. Bitcoin if anything if a ray of light but it can't solve the problem of wealth disparity overnight. If anything expect things to get worse before they get better. The sooner that we eliminate the exploitative fiat system the better. [–]imahotdoglol 1 point 4 hours ago It's hard to not be depressed with a community cheering up on global collapse. [–]spottedmarley -6 points 14 hours ago Depressed? Stop watching TV. I mean completely. Get rid of your television. Burn it if you must but get it the gently caress out of your life before you're dangling from the rafters. It is not Bitcoin [–]bitcoinstupidpoorkid -3 points 10 hours ago First thing SeansOutput is that you arent running a business, you are running a charity. In a business you make some good or service in order to rip money out of customers grimy little hands, in a charity you woefully sit on the street corner begging for change.

one thing i've noticed that's not just related to libertarians or their ilk, is anyone calling themselves "non-violent" is usually actually using that word as code for "i would really really like to kick your rear end, but i'm a scrawny dude and i'd probably get my butt whooped instead" unfunny anecdote: an ex-girlfriend spent a looooot of money and time being highly trained in "non-violent communications". unfortunately whenever she opened her mouth to utter anything, it was usually an affront to whichever group was adressed. nonetheless she was extremely proud in her non-violent people skills non-ironically.

The Management posted:no, it's 33 percent higher or 1 percentage point higher. it is not 1 percent higher. this means that the inflation rate has increased from 33 percent a year to 66 percent a year and the federal reserve is covering it up, just like the overstock guy said. what if we used a blockchain to replace the gangster computer God that secretly rules the world?

have they explained why they picked dominica? i can see it being helpful if you want to make an impression on locals - dominica is second smallest caribbean state by population and much poorer than similar sized antigua and barbuda. but it's nearly twice as large as saint kitts and nevis which isn't much wealthier, either. kittians-nevisians would be ecstatic over the prospect of dividing that 0.7 btc among themselves!

Dominica is one of those countries that libertarians love because they will (pretend to) be ok with pretty much anything as long as you pay : freedom! The fact that it can be an extremely oppressive place, that likes to incarcerate gay people (of the poor variety), among other things, is not important. Charlie Shrem wanted to get a Dominican passport, for example. He also suggested to Rassah to do the same but, apparently, they have something against artistic furry tables.

SSRI pills try to make your neurons hodl on to serotonin. it is supposed to make you feel better, but there are side effects.  pop psychology books say your behavior strengthens and destroys neural connections. if you hodl bitcoins you're teaching your brain cells how to hodl serotonin and you feel good.
