That idea being Merkle trees

what the technocats always fail to grasp is that it is a feature, not a bug, that human institutions like banks and governments are messy analog systems that rely on humans doing things like trusting each other and understanding the intent behind language

banks don't want automated distributed ledgers where transactions are irreversible, because it doesn't solve any problems they actually have

Watch this documentary it is life changing, because it came out right before bitcoin poo poo the bed poo poo it came out after, man they are dumb.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4654844/

quote:

Bitcoin: The End Of Money As We Know It traces the history of money from the bartering societies of the ancient world to the trading floors of Wall St. The documentary exposes the practices of central banks and the dubious financial actors who brought the world to its knees in the last crisis. It highlights the Government influence on the money creation process and how it causes inflation. Moreover, this film explains how most money we use today is created out of thin air by banks when they create debt. Epic in scope, this film examines the patterns of technological innovation and questions everything you thought you knew about money. Is Bitcoin an alternative to national currencies backed by debt? Will Bitcoin and cryptocurrency spark a revolution in how we use money peer to peer? Is it a gift to criminals? Or is it the next bubble waiting to burst? If you trust in your money just as it is - this film has news for you.

So wait, is Bitcoin now a commodity with a financial backing based entirely on Chinese money laundering? How are the Bitcoin shills spinning this - "invest into our funny money now and help launder money for some rich Chinese people!"
The Chinese spend money on mining then sell all those bitcoins to true believers for cheap. The value is leaving China and going into the pocket of the captains of industry.

Only if you believe that butts have value, which they don't. The real value is going to the Chinese coal plants that power the miners

I don't really count Silk Road drug dealers as butt coiners. They couldn't care less, it's just currently the least worst way for them to get money for drugs over the Internet, although from that story it looks like the Feds are now watching large butt transfers, so RIP.

The people who just use bitcoin without caring about it are smart enough to not publish their drug dealing username on a t-shirt. That's bitcoiner-level stupidity

Dank Bank Deposits - dank's soul is claimed! - New music Nov 30th
July 13, 2012, 12:05:42 AM

#1

Hello, everyone, my name is Dank and I'm here to prove my worthiness as an investment. I have a dream, a dream unfolding before my eyes, guiding me through life and I'm here to ask for the financial support needed to make my dream a reality.

By the end of this year, 2012, I believe I will be a highly known guitarist/musician. This time frame may seem unrealistically short, for I have only started playing electric guitar towards the end of August, but recent realizations have led me to believe this is possible. Humans have been evolving exponentially for some time now, with advances in technology and communication lessening the time needed for the same amount of change to occur. Logically, following this pattern, there will come a time when more change happens in an hour than has happened in the last millennium. Through meditation, connecting to a higher consciousness within, and communicating these ideas, I've had the epiphany that 2012 is a real event. It's not the end of the world and it's nothing to fear, the changes occurring through 2012 are completely spiritual. Humans are waking up from the illusion of our man-made society, our awareness is increasing and we are once again discovering the true spiritual nature of our universe and self. This burst of love gleaming through the world will manifest globally, this year, and with the increased self awareness and worldly consciousness (through communication/technology), it will stay among us. The truth can be found within one's self, and when the truth is found, it spreads like wildfire. More and more individuals are realizing, the only thing needed to be truly happy, is to act out of love. By the end of this year, we will reach a critical point where love is rampantly understood and sought upon, where more humans become in tune with our consciousness and leave behind their egos, along with the negativity associated with ego, such as greed, disease, war, power and fear. This power of love is what will give me the ability to effectively play guitar, from the soul, this year.

I'm no more special than anyone else, many others know these things and more learn everyday. Our ancestors knew these times would come, and you do to. Your consciousness, our consciousness, knows everything, it's up to you to tap into it and find out for yourself.

I'm calling upon individuals to help support me as I, and others, share this message of love among mankind. I would like to organize a music festival, larger than woodstock, by the end of the year, and believe it is possible, with the conscious, united effort of humanity.

I'm looking for people interested in helping with the music festival. What we're looking for:

✓ 1000 Acres land
✓ Stage equipment
✓ Audio equipment
✓ Audio technician
✓ Lighting equipment
✓ Lighting technician
✓ Contractor (build bathrooms)
✓ Electrician
✓ Lots of fireworks + pyro Smiley

Optionally, we will also set up some carnival type rides if we could get a volunteer for them.

Of course, we could have more than one of each volunteering position and anyone that just wants to volunteer to help, can.

Help be a part of history by taking the end of the year off of work and working together, as one, to form the biggest music festival ever.

Updated guitar samples will be posted periodically: http://soundcloud.com/dankm
