I don't this his language was emotional at all. I don't want my money to be spent in certain ways. I like voluntarism and of course I would try to improve the situation around my area instead of financing war, prisons and luxury for the cor

Intangible ? Bitcoins ? I would say the dollar is pretty much intangible. Only 7% of it is printed, all the rest is on computers. And my $10 in 2005 had more purchasing power than my $10 do now. Effectively having bitcoin means each time yo

You have the incentive to spend. You need to live so you will use your fiat and bitcoin to buy for food, gas, electricity and things that you want. I know the bitcoin is going to be worth more, but I still spend it today just like I know th

You know, open source. I can decide not to take the new version or I can even fork it. The majority decides, democracy like.

the only issue with them is that little by little they lose more and more of their purchasing power so you should either invest or use all immediately

Well said. I've had enough of this inflation. The poorer you are, the less likely you have money in any investment that is yields better results that inflation. The richer you are, the more likely you have your money both diversified and in

If bitcoin is going to be here in 2 years then I think it's undervalued. In some exchange it has reached past $111

Sure, but it doesn't make it any less usable for the others, it fact it increases everyone else's purchasing power

this is the effect of the scarcity of bitcoin. there's a tremendous network effect, more and more online shops accepting them as well as AFK. it allows much lower fees and risk than credit cards with their 3% plus chargebacks, up to 5-10% b

an inflating currency ? Why would I ever get into it if my government wasn't to force me like they did in the states before it was backed by gold ?

I also think a government could make it illegal and if it's a key government or even more than one it will impact the bitcoin market tremendously. It's not unheard of for a government to do something like this, my understanding is that it w

When the code gets cranky, its time to refactor. Piling shit on top of it just makes it worst. I'm not talking about NIHS or rewrites, I'm talking about refactoring. And lots of edge cases and special things are not a good thing in law or s

Mostly lawyers. Which shouldn't be necessary. But they are because there is no way for normal people to fully understand the law. How can we even be expected not to break it regularly? I see lawyers as some sort of bad kind of software deve

In my view, just because 'usually' they don't seek maximum penalty it doesn't mean he doesn't get it, as suggested itself by her office the final call is not hers. I'm glad more and more people are coming out on this issue.
