Dttonme is engaging in a bit of grade school pigtail yanking. "I'm going to talk naughty and take a poke at Jessy" is the digital equivalent, possibly aided by reading one too many pickup manuals.

The threads where I discuss why I chose Bitcoin are here:

My business is legal, and non-sexual. Once you have invested the time in learning the trade, and the capital for the rooms and all of the equipment needed to practice it- it makes no sense to provide "extras" when prostitutes actually make considerably less money at far, far higher risk. Dungeons don't get bothered by the authorities provided they play by the rules- so we are very, very careful to do so. Any lady who accepts contact information, or sees a client outside the facility is fired on the spot. Sure, all tears over "just a business card" but not worth us taking the chance. We don't have sex with our clients for the same reason paramedics (about the same training time) don't give you an HJ in the ambulance for a $50- everything to lose, nothing to gain.

That being said, just because it's legal- does not make it the best association for Bitcoin. I removed the link from my signature as soon as a realized this, and have already said I'll pull this ID if the Project pursued a more PR friendly direction. I think if Bitcoin succeeds then Adult businesses, like political ideologues will be early adopters- but that does not mean we should be plastering ourselves all over the Bitcoin Project site.


The genesis block quote occurred early in this thread. Clearly it is attack against the evils of Christian Banking. I find it absolutely fascinating that Bitcoin was founded on the principles of Islamic Banking. Satoshi, no doubt a Muslim, decided to create a usury free, Sharia compliant currency for his brothers around the world. Brothers who, laboring under the yoke of Western Imperialism may otherwise have difficulties funding Jihad. I for one, think it is only fair that the moderators create an Arabic language forum to facilitate this as Bitcoin is clearly- at it's very core, a Muslim currency.

See how that works?

You think Libertarians are the only political group who can claim bitcoin is "theirs" or founded on their principles? The Politics forum is great- so long as it's YOUR politics or a similar variation. All sorts of other people can read the Bitcoin Scriptures and the Book of Satoshi and interpret them differently to suit their goals. Given that Satoshi, in 500+ posts devoted less than a few sentences to vague observations about Bitcoins political implications, any group claiming him as one of their own is equally delusional.

The smart thing is for the Bitcoin Project to distance itself from ALL politics before some less pleasant ones with equally good claims show up. They want to, Thermos won't do it. He created the Politics forum quite recently to serve his own agenda, he is hardly going to remove it.
