   I imagine its hard to get good data on mental illness let alone a good definition of what "mental illness" is across societies. Is homosexuality still considered a mental illness in most of the world?

   I think this is more common than people might realize. In fact, I think it's fundamental to how the predatory lending industry(READ: banking industry) operates. David Graeber's DEBT is a good read: http://libcom.org&#x2

   I don't think it's equivalent. But people took up arms to fight what they thought was an oppressive government. A lot of people thought the American Revolutionaries were radicals with bad ideas, including a third of the Colonists.

    That's not what's being implied. The family can be respected while the culprits are pursued.

    I wonder why they didn't op for merger or acquisition . . . and what they're planning next. I remember meeting them early on in 2013, they seemed waaay ahead of Uber and Lyft.

    I think this is terribly, painfully ironic. It's arguing that Americans are living closer to home in order to support their aging elders. 18 Miles is not close!!! That's a commute. You have to commute to see your mother, or for he

    It doesn't mean anything is broken. The recent rise in price justifies bringing miners online or shifting them away from other cryptocoins. Halving day is coming soon too.

    I suppose they're being rewarded for their insight. Additionally, if you're just thinking of bitcoin as a currency, and not a global social paradigm shift, I think you're missing the point. You can issue your own currency on
