You should consider http://coinmd.org then. They're cheaper and seem to give really good advice so far. It's anonymous for doctors though, so of course, there's a risk in that. However, I read through their faq an

I don't think it assumes the labor theory. As far as I can tell by reading Altucher, he leans libertarian. If you read carefully, you'll see that the majority of the things he mentions have nothing to do with capitalism, but rathe

If I didn't take this land my house is on from someone else by force or coercion, then you have no such right. Land is no one's product of labor. What's on it - my house - is. It was built on my money and I have all the right

If there was no way to detect the contents of the cart, shoplifting rates would increase, but not to a dramatic number. It's because stores don't force people to visit them and buy things. They offer.

You must understand, that the absence of a state is not equal to the absence of those organizations. The state simply taught you that only it can build and operate them. But the truth is, the demand for those things doesn't vanish with

You can only vote once in 4 years. I, on the other hand, can stop paying any private company at any point in time if I believe a company hurts me or other members of the society. I don't see how that situation makes a company less acco

Until people realize that all taxes are theft, they're doomed to have new taxes imposed on the most productive of them. It's really a simple test to see whether taxes are theft or not: if there was no way for IRS to find out how m

Obama is not a disaster. He is a great product of a system called democracy, where people are taught to believe they are free and can make a difference by voting.

When people say "but government is supposed to do that" it sounds almost like a religious belief. Just because the holy book - in this case, the constitution - says so, it doesn't mean it is so. It also doesn't mean we s

"It's not enough for me as president to have confidence in these programmes; the American people need to have confidence as well." Great tactic. Redefine the problem. NSA is not the problem. Confidence is.

I completely agree with you on not accepting the violent way of changing things and on the fact the system has gone too far to be changed through instituted processes. One non-violent way of changing things I see is to use Bitcoin for savin

Interesting. If you look at history, it is precisely governments and empires that produced more violence than anyone else. The bloodiest, most devastating wars are all the result of government action. Even the most bloodiest anarchist in th

Not true. 1) Is gets a lot harder and more expensive to collect taxes when you have to conduct audits 2) It is impossible to collect the inflation tax 3) It's easier to control people when you can close down or freeze their bank accoun
