You see, the FDIC is a bad thing because the bank just prints more money! That's how insurance works!

It takes a true libertarian believer to prefer the outright loss of his entire personal fortune, over the undetectably-small bit of inflation that would be caused by "printing more money" for deposit insurance (even though that's not actually how it works).

Hold on to the pin, throw the other part.

 Summarized glory:

The theft of BTC online markets is just like in real life when you take your stack of gold bars out of your personal vault and head to that shady ATM-only bank down the street, put it all in a box and come back 9 months later to find the bank gone.

The people who are selling now are people who just don't understand BitCoin and are getting scared that they put money into BTC and it's going down in value. They don't know it will bounce back and go up up UP!

Something about the idea of "fake" bitcoins and how they're "worthless" cracked me up so much.
It's quite funny actually - I think it took a forced reset of the blockchain and the invalidation of all the existing testnet coins to make sure they wre definitely worthless.

As for Only One TV: I have no words. Apparently all he knows about the FBI he learned from CSI and there are "FBI offices all over the world"...

The Bible posted:

Yes, the gold rush is a great example. So many people got rich digging up gold.

Seriously, do they research these arguments at all? The only people getting rich in the gold rush were the people who were selling equipment and tools to the miners, not the miners themselves.

Even more than those supplying the miners, the banks made the most money off of it. San Francisco was a boom town because it was the center of gold rush banking in California, and its been coasting on that glory ever since.
