...where as [sic] Bitcoin is in violation of the laws of nearly every country.


...followed by post after post of people banging their heads against a brick wall trying to explain to Coinseeker that virtually all of the premises behind his ludicrous statement are untrue.  I think he's sort-of got most of it by now but it would help if people actually made a little effort (Google is your friend) to understand what they're talking about before just coming out with baseless rubbish.

I'll try Reddit!


Awww....does it bother you that I don't blindly follow internet rhetoric.

wtf are you talking about.  To the extent I was 'bothered' it was disappointment that a thread that has mostly for the 6 months or so I've been following and participating in it had at least something of substantive value in a few pages of posts was dominated by people trying to explain stuff to you you could have found out quite easily yourself by doing a little research.  In the first instance your claim 'Bitcoin is in violation of the laws of nearly every country' illustrates plainly you neither understand bitcoin nor law.

It is not that people don't welcome a different of opinion.  Did you actually notice how many people who know what they are talking about generously gave explanations far beyond what the initial ignorant statement deserved?  No, you come out with some 'blindly follow internet rhetoric' bs.  wtf?!

At least I have the intelligence to be open to facts as they are presented, where most on this site are so ideologically dug in, that the only "facts" they see are the ones they have created in their own minds.

Starting with the continuing delusion that Bitcoin is immune to governmental intervention.  
Wow, you really don't get it do you?!  Nobody that I could see in the responses given to you was trying to claim 'Bitcoin is immune to governmental intervention' - if I'm mistaken please find and quote - rather patiently trying to explain things to you such as what 'legal tender' is.

And for you, who made the statement about Bitcoin being illegal to accuse others of seeing "only 'facts' they have created in their own minds" is hill-fucking-larious  Grin  Intelligence?  If you showed a tiny bit of evidence you have any you wouldn't have to protest so loudly how intelligent you are  Roll Eyes

Edit:  looks like I was late with my rant - it appears the rest of you have kissed and made up.  I'll leave this post though because I believe it was deserved even if it does make me out to be the nasty angry one Wink



Actually it became a legal discussion that only one point was proven false.  That Bitcoin itself was illegal.  That based on the info provided, was false.  Totally fine.  I conceded that.  The rest of the pages were about the other legal ramifications of Bitcoin transactions so your generalization that pages and pages was dedicated to one point, is not entirely accurate.  And Bitcoin transactions that avoid paying applicable taxes are in fact illegal.  Now, unless you have something to refute that claim, your rant is only partially relevant.

But you are right in the fact that we have been off topic for way too long so, let me go wake up DHS and get their butts in gear.  They have a Bitcoin price to crash for me.   Grin
