Dead Man’s Band

In 2012, according to Free State Project president Gericke, a group from Connecticut set up a tent serving Polish food. To attract customers, the vendors would rev up a chain saw. The combination of the chain saw and some rowdy evenings bothered enough people in Agora Valley that a few other vendors went into town to print fliers urging Porcfest attendees to boycott their food.

That was fine with the restaurateurs, who offered a 50 percent discount to any customer who brought in one of the fliers. It was the perfect example of the free market at work.

Until the next year, when Porcupine Festival organizers let them know the chainsaw antics wouldnt be welcomed back. There had been too many complaints.

hsbc, a bank that is a-ok with laundering blood-soaked drug money, cuts ties with a bitcoin fund

quote:

Global Advisors, a firm based in Jersey that manages the first regulated bitcoin fund, has been served notice by its bank, HSBC.

The firm said it received a notice from HSBC indicating that the company's bank account would be closed in 60 days. A meeting with HSBC personnel at the firm's office in Jersey revealed that the bank feared Global Advisors' account was at risk of potential money laundering.

"We heard that our risk profile is not really happening for them," said Jean-Marie Mognetti, a partner with the firm.

Nic, I want to offer a CIA shill like you an offer. I will give you $1,000 if you agree to a debate with Jeffrey Tucker, one of the worlds most respected experts on Bitcoin,on the currency so you can show the world just how worthless your smug attitude really is. You think youre such a loving expert on Bitcoin because you can run loving a troll site on it, you elitist piece of poo poo? Guess what? The world doesnt work that way.

You must be really loving desperate for money if youre willing to allow someone from the CIA to handle you for these posts, you smug little human being. Why dont you get off your loving computer and actually challenge someone who knows something on the currency before you open your little mouth? As a matter of fact, I have quite a few friends who would be more than willing than willing to shut your gently caress face up.

Its people like you that make me hope the dollar collapse is getting closer. As bad as it will be, I find happiness in knowing that people like you will be economically cleansed from the face of this planet. Darwinism truly is a gift. Seeing people like you in the street, begging for money will truly fill me with an unfettered sense of joy. Seriously: gently caress you.

Magic Bitcoin Kingdom Gawker Article posted:

At his side and serving as a sort of personal moderator and hype man was anarcho-capitalist celebrity Jeffrey Tucker. Tucker was an odd sight in a room full of people in bitcoin shirts and cargo shorts: impeccably dressed, with a fey demeanor and theatrical voice verging on stage accent. Reports from the 2008 presidential campaign fingered Tucker as the author behind Ron Paul's notoriously homophobic and racist newsletters, a charge on which he's demurred.

In the Horizon ballroom, Tucker dazzled: He decried bitcoin critics as "Luddites," praised the robber baron mansions of Newport (monuments to "early adopters"), urged us to browse rare coin shops ("an authentic part of the social order, a symbol of an age that's gone by"), and of course, denounced the federal hand. "The regulatory books are stuffed so full of hundred years of crufty laws," he said.

Q5) When did you adopt your iconic bow-tie getup, and do you wear one when sleeping at night?

I never really thought that the bow tie was anything important. I started wearing one when I was about 16 or so because it kind of stays out of the way. As for dressing up all the time, its just what makes my comfortable.
