Impressive. You managed to turn the most positive news for Bitcoin into a post about the "collapse of the Bitcoin economy", through a very flimsily constrcted series of assumptions. There should be like a new version of Godwin&#x2

The report you refer to, about the bot at MtGox, is itself speculative, interpretative, and proves nothing. Just a heads up, before you jump into your radical conclusions: An Occam's Razor approach to understanding the data, is that th

As I type this reply, the counter says parent comment is 15 minutes old. It is the top comment right now. Why on earth? It is an off-topic comment! Is it because anti-Bitcoin sentiment is popular? Or is it because on HN the top comment must

No, it is true. To describe a currency as 'debt-free' means that it is not created through the process of creating new debt. The way modern currencies like the dollar are emitted is through the generation of new debt (government

The author of the Article summons Graeber in an abysmal way. In 'Debt' Graeber proposes two main ideas, that the State is by no means necessary to have a great economy (he is an anarchist, with small 'a'), and that our c

Disclaimer: Colombian here It makes no sense to use quotation marks around the term American Imperialism, as if it wasn't real. That the US is an empire is beyond question, and Snowden has shown that it has turned the internet into an
