Very interesting times indeed...

It's interesting listening to that discussion he had with Andreas Antonopolis. Very civilised - no mud slinging - but crystal clear that he doesn't believe that cryptocurrencies can remotely replace fiat in their economic function.

He doesn't even believe in a limited supply currency base and thinks that the gold standard "caused" the 1930s depressions.

All the same, he totally "gets" blockchain technologies.

Although removing gold standard did not stop crisis from occuring and literally nothing changed for the peasants (us). The removal of gold standard allowed banks to print shit loads of money... The idea as "Gold standard is evil" is illogical.

So the whole world was trading some tangible meaningful item gold (money backed by gold), gold can be digged from the ground or bought up, but it can not be made out of thin air. Also, gold can be used in a all different ways. Gold was replaced with a toilet paper, this toilet paper is printed at incredible rates, half of the time it is not even printed but rather added as a number into a bank account. And such system is good to us. Is good for the whole world to trade toilet paper because when we run out, we can just make it with a magic stick and have more toilet paper. So we have ever increasing debts, ever increasing unequal weatlh distribution and never solvable problems... Its like when we had a gold standard - we had issues, issues we could not escape by running away...

In a normal sane world Satoshi Nakamoto would receive a nobel prize in every single category, even literature... Sadly we dont live in a normal world, rather insane: gay people cant marry, cant adopt, ISIS, Russia raping ints neighbours, constant crisis, polution, parents refusing to vaccinate childern, religion... you name it... Like wau! I should buy a cabine in a woods and go live somewhere in the wilderness...

I was with you up until the bolded part. Russia isn't raping anyone. The US though? Here's a fun fact: there are about 196 nations on Earth and in the last 3 years US special forces by SOCOM's own admission have been active in over 150 of them.

Hint, special forces are not deployed anywhere in order to deliver lollipops, cuddly toys and huggles.

Russia is actually raping Ukraine as we speak...

So what exactly is it doing that is 'rape'??

1) Like taking a piece of land known ac Crymea. (Dont even try to say:"Oh this was Russia all along, if so, then when will you return clay that belongs to Finland?)
2) Bombing hospitals, cities, looting from factories, torturing POWs - the ones that are defending their land.
3) Shooting down planes and blaming it was Ukraine
4) Destroying infrastructure: factories, bridges, roads, airports

This is not the place to post this kind of political bullsh*t Shocked

This is crypto-currency thread, it completely irrelevant to Darkcoin Shocked
