if overstock is holding 10 percent of their bitcoins, and bitlicences go into effect, won't they have to cash out? or stop selling things to new york?

no because you see a bitcoin is just a string of digits and therefore is covered by the first amendement

much like how cocaine is just a string of chemical symbols and therefore is covered by the first amendment, your honour

They could comply with the bitlicense. Presumably, as a large business, they have accountants and attorneys on staff.

His point is that the Bitlicense appears to have strong limitations on how you can speculate with client funds, and Bitcoins aren't on the approved list of things you can speculate in. to comply with the license, bitpay/coinbase should have to sell their BTC holdings, which are likely pretty large

bitpay and coinbase, yes. overstock is not an exchange or broker, though, and it's allowed to speculate in whatever the hell it wants with its loose change, subject only to its reporting obligations as a publicly-traded corporation and its fiduciary duties to its shareholders

what if someone doublespent your soul? would you be both souls?

e: and what if someone put your soul in the same wallet as hitler's soul and your souls got mixed up and you were in hitler's body? would you be evil, then because of hitler's evil brain?

it's really telling that every single bitcoin explanation I've seen (at least, the ones that don't immediately slam it into the ground based on the protocol's failings) is laid out like a web3.0 picture book with small words next to big bright pictures that pop in and out of view as you scroll via the magic of html5/CSS. Isn't this sort of 'treat the reader like a toddler with zero attention span' presentation one of the hallmarks of crazy cults seeking new members?

i enjoy seeing infographics gloss over how utterly inefficient mining is.





pants.





the blurb is confusing and does little to explain how this lazy projection was made. does this mean near 21 million bitcoins times the projected value of bitcoin in the distant future from an up uP UP chart would be bigger than the US economy? or that in the future, there will be more bitcoins than dollars (alert ron paul and awaken satoshi)?
