Excellent book by Jan Karski. Story of a Secret State: My Report to the World. Reads like fiction. He also entered a concentration camp to report on the activities there. Interviews with him can be found on youtube.

That is not the use case I had in mind, think of amazon, ebay, etsy for international customers looking for a friction-less exchange. And bear in mind, my original point is that bitcoin is moving away from the original intent.

For an exchange there needs to be a counterparty. While Bitstamp is known as 'an exchange', they are not the counterparty AFAIK. If Satoshi rocks up with 1 meeeelion BTC, if faith evaporates, the bid price could well be zero.

Does anyone know the ideal crop for sustenance in the case of a nuclear/volcanic winter. Rhubarb springs to mind, grows well in cool climates and denying sunlight produces a better crop. Any others? Edit: the book recommends stocking u

Good point. I'm just not sure Russia would perform potentially delicate operations from an EU and NATO member state. Also, not sure if all of this recent hacking is in fact leaking by persons within affected organisations. In the case

I wonder if this to reciprocate for the decision by the EU against Apple to the tune of $14 billion. Numbers seem very similar. Coincidence?

Reminds me of the film Reservoir Dogs. Each gang member is given a nickname (Mr. Blue, Mr Pink etc) for each job. Only the leadership picks the names, the nicknames change with each job\event. Members do not share real names or personally i

It was likely suppressed as it would have drawn attention away from Iraq, and the insinuated link between Iraq and 9-11. The fallback argument was WMD, bring democracy and prosperity. Instead we got ISIS. I was very surprised that this was
