   If we find out that a state has spend billions in SHA256 equipment, and is censoring transactions, there will be a unanimous switch to another PoW algo, like SHA3. So there is really nothing a government could do to stop Bitcoin. It's

   I really wonder if miners are going to buy the whole stock despite the game bundle program and the low power efficiency.

    Currently, fees are rock bottom, like 3 cents for typical transactions. And it should last, with Segwit's activation very soon.

    Monkeys defended her, who said they abused her? Now she's abused by humans, great.

    That's a dumb article. Take point 5 for instance: You can code in Go with Jetbrain's IDE. Well guess what, Python has a dedicated IDE made by JetBrain: PyCharm. How is this an advantage ?

    How ethical is it to force her to leave the monkeys to become a "normal" human ?

    I can't find how to make it work for european companies. For instance, fnac.com doesn't give any result with the -r option. Did I miss something ?

    Wow, I never heard of Pixel Tracking. That sounds super evil. Are there browser plugins to fight back on this one?

    Don't think about bitcoin as a western individual. Think of it like you were in a poor/developping country, where 95% of the population doesn't have a bank account. Well, bitcoin gives an international bank account to anyone.

    Can you explain why it is needed to grow and shrink the money supply ? I don't get that. In my view, the only problem with gold was that it was not practical to use. That's where bitcoin is better, you can divide a single unit int

    Monkeys are so close to us genetically speaking. You can't compare a monkey with a cow.

    We are much closer geneticaly to monkeys than to cows, I would'nt do experiments on something that has 99% genes in common with me.
