He never claimed he was addressing the argument. He just showed where you were incorrect, and you were.

I was talking about you being able to peer into someone's head and then label them mischievous and a liar. That's different from denying understanding of the semantics of language and how they apply to the real world. > Should

I think you're putting the cart before the horse here. The reason that USD is used to buy goods and services is not because everyone woke up one day and began to "think of it and use it as a currency". USD just happens to be

I don't think it is a bubble. Everyone seems to equate real estate, stocks, and currency as all the same thing. Unlike the first two, currency increases in intrinsic value the more people believe it has value. So saying that how can bi

How is that a lie, though? How do you know it's a bad faith argument? You know what bad faith means, right? That someone is not representing what they truly believe. Again, you're shaming people that disagree with you. > We sho

Morality, morality morality, right, wrong, good, evil, bla bla bla... oh and if you disagree with me you should be shamed and ridiculed. This is just an appeal to the mob to punish those that have a different value system then you. It works

I don't see the mention of BTC anywhere in the app that is released or in the announcements from that twitter log. They talk about using "blockchain technology", which I assume means a new coin.

Last time I checked, ISIS has killed a lot of people. You do those slain a disservice by not even acknowledging this. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/03/25/world/map-isi...

If you are talking about independent alt-coins, such as Ethereum and Litecoin, they are completely separate from Bitcoin, and this would have no effect. If you are talking about tokens on the Bitcoin network, such as MaidSafeCoin, they woul
