Take my word for it then.Also take my word for the fact that brilliant people are frequently wrong and only fools have to always believe they are right.
Also take my word for the fact that there are things better to simply walk away from,even if you know you can win.
And now for a little light entertainment.:)

Of course I provided something logical, what else would be expected from yours truly? Also, I seem to have been the only one who provided a resource here, one you seemingly ignored, and you still have yet to understand the nuances of a commodity.Quote:

Earlier in the post you were starting to tickle the tangent of the difference between commodity money and fiat money, and I believe part of the confusion you have is related to the use and implementation as it relates to the former term.
I'll give you a hint, your definition of commodity is incomplete. You must have been sitting there racking your brain over what you're missing, but that's a huge hint I just provided you. Chase that dragon. You're welcome.
I have provided you an ample amount of information, now you should go back and fill in the links. Nothing is more effectively learned than something realized by the student (rather than being dictated).
You have to, at times, give the people what they want. Sometimes, that's more dick pics. Who am I to question their tastes? I can judge them, whether loudly or silently, but I can't just ignore their will. If someone prefers to keep their eyes fixed on some cock, let 'em at it. I'm sure you'd agree with the freedom of choice I've permitted you.Quote:

If it went too long, I would have probably made a mental note to read it later when I'm on a computer, then forgotten completely about it, and never end up reading it.Quote:

I just realised a couple of things Rart. The first is that you are perhaps the first completely humourless person I have ever met, while the second is more related to maturity and begs the question, how old are you?
As far as this board goes, there's a few completely devoid of levity. How is that possible? Either they are still too young or haven't gotten around to offing themselves (to rid their joyless existence).Quote:

If it's cause of my last post I'll clarify: I felt like the conversation was becoming very circular. I made my points, mjmacky responded, I replied back, mjmacky replies with an abstract question. Repeat. We weren't really getting anywhere, so I decided to take Idol's advice and drop it. If I came off strong there I apologize as it was not my intent, it was a long day and I was tired.
Also in case mj decides to use my post two posts ago as proof that I ignore "input" from other members, I didn't respond to your source because you just gave me a link generally without actually specifying what part you wanted to use to support your argument. I did respond to every other point in your post though.
I forgot what you are referring to since generally I like to keep my brain empty to increase the chances of brilliant ideas formulating but whatever it was,bad idea,bro.Quote:

Well you tend to spout bullshit so much that I figured you had to be right eventually.Quote:

I only mentioned that you didn't specify a context because you seem perturbed that I didn't respond and you thought I ignored it. You didn't raise a specific point when you linked that article, so I didn't have anything to respond to.
Since you mentioned the first few lines, I'm assuming you're talking about commodity currencies? They're only called as such because of how closely their value is tied to the commodities of such country, not because they actually are a commodity. The countries in which their currency is labeled a commodity currency are due to their income relying heavily on the export of raw materials (commodities). Read the headlines/beginnings of these three articles and notice how they are always clearly differentiating between the two and are clearly mentioning the effects one has on he other as if they are separate things.
Now if you has actually mentioned earlier what you were talking about (and I still don't know if this is what you're referring to) rather than talking in abstractions, hypotheticals, and analogies we could have had a much more productive discussion. :mellow:
That's why I spend at least a portion of every day at the typewriter.Quote:

No, I had only previously invoked "commodity money" as the source of your confusion, i.e., why you think one cannot be classified into another.Quote:

I'll go ahead and spell it out slowly for you. Like, when I get on a real computer. Hold your breath.
Hope its not the end. Perhaps it just an opportunity buy more BTC cheap :)
Lets hope so!Quote:

Can't help but feel a bit of schadenfreude reading some of these 'informed' nerds having conniptions.

Now what you got you need to spend it too , Provided you are casual user and not hoarder or broker .

It looks like something broke. We’ve been notified and will have the problem fixed as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience, please try again later.
This whole collapse strikes me as more of a CIA operation than individuals getting greedy. 1.2.3... More like a 3rd world government toppling based on information leaks and people missing. Hmmmm.
And, no, conspiracy theory is not my typical realm. Just plays out more like a pre-written script with those who do not like to be fucked with (those who control/print "real" money) staying in power, and maybe even looking to be a "more reliable investment" at the end.
EDIT- FFS, still "worth" $550. If I am correct, more front page stories discrediting the stability will occur. Soon.
this is not really a great piece of news, they want you to think its coming to an end, when in reality it's only beginning.

Investors need a way to create some kind of controversy to increase the value:

Bitcoins may have lost half their value since last year's peak, but they're still selling for 56 times the price they were at the beginning of 2013.

In financial accounting, an asset is an economic resource. Anything tangible or intangible that is capable of being owned or controlled to produce value and that is held to have positive economic value is considered an asset. Simply stated, assets represent value of ownership that can be converted into cash (although cash itself is also considered an asset).
This story makes much more exciting History, if they had let him live or survive maybe he could have written a book about his life or done some public speaking to make a few extra bit coins.

Mt. Gox announcing that it lost $473 million worth of the virtual currency, many people who saw their money disappear have called for CEO Mark Karpeles to be imprisoned. Well, funny thing: it wouldn't necessarily be the first time Karpeles has been arrested for fraud.

No wonder they couldn't be trusted with money. :no:Quote:

CEO Of Bitcoin Exchange Dies In Singapore March 06/2014
The spokesman said police found 28-year-old Autumn Radtke, an American, lying motionless near the apartment tower where she lived.
Police have so far classified the death as "unnatural," which can mean an accident, misadventure, or suicide.
First Meta allows users of virtual currencies such as bitcoin to trade and cash out the currencies. It is one of several such exchanges.
The future of bitcoin has been under scrutiny since the collapse of the Mt. Gox exchange in Tokyo last month.
The spokesman said police found 28-year-old Autumn Radtke, an American, lying motionless near the apartment tower where she lived.
Well, if she was still alive, she would hardly be motionless now, would she. It is amazing how they can spend $millions on fancy wording, when a much cheaper, 'found dead' would have sufficed.
There is a whole section within the Police specially trained to seek out words to describe what could be said in a word or two. These people do nothing other than tart up press releases continually, to give the impression that police officers have some semblance of intelligence, rather than the doughnut chomping apes that they actually are.
It is amazing that so much money is spent on a department that has nothing to do with crime prevention or detection.
My theory must be totally wrong. The CIA would NEVER kill anyone "unnaturally". :no:
They probably took offence at the fact that someone had a currency that they didn't have control over, so have instigated an offensive campaign designed to discredit and destroy the mechanism and those behind the mechanism for that currency, which will ultimately render the currency impotent.
No one in power likes a maverick agent, or agents, because it means they have lost control. The film and music industry has been systematically destroying file sharing in the name of entertainment, and now a maverick currency is being brought to its knees by the very people we should be afraid of, and I don't mean Chalice and IdolEyes787.
Fear those who hide in the shadows, and who's influence can change the direction of a nation.
I think the fact that she was a pretty woman (one who would make wide-spread press) didn't help her when cards were drawn. :no: Serves as a warning to ANYONE who would try something similar.Quote:
