I tried to make this post as tone neutral as possible.

As any other group of individuals(or any living beings for that matter), they are looking out just for themselves. That is why as long as we have a centralized system which is in control of one group, other group will suffer.
This applies to individuals as well. As long as I have a centralized system of control over myself, others will suffer. I used to not let my opinion be persuaded by others. I used to not let others take me on their trips because I saw no point in it. I used to not let others induce emotional responses in myself because I was afraid I would get taken advantage of. I used to keep my mouth shut at the wrong times because I felt other people were idiots. I used to talk too much at the wrong times because I didn't know how to listen. All of this hurt me and hurt others who dared to associate with me.Quote
Also, have you ever considered that if someone constantly has to "explain" what to do, maybe the one who is explaining should be doing the job?
Why do they feel the need to "explain"? What do they know? Why should I believe them?Quote
"Outlaw Bitcoin"? Well, maybe.. But idea is alive and I don't think it can be stopped.
You only need > 50% of GPU power to stop it. (think double-spends) The governments of the world only need to conjure up slightly greater than 50% support of the network to suppress the rest, kind of like "majority rule" democracy.Quote
I am glad this is happening now and there is enough talent around the globe to pull this off.
Me, too.Quote
10-20 more years of the crap they call education these days and we'd be doomed as a race.
Education as a whole is a well-meaning profession gone wrong because it is currently based on false principles.Quote
As to your advice, I don't want to know people in my local community at least not what has become of communities.
You have to be the "change" you are looking for. Obama is showing us what his "change" is based on his actions. What is your "change", based on your actions?Quote
Majority of them are nothing but ignorant oxygen wasters and the quicker we stop pretending that everyone is equal, the quicker things start getting better.
I think I have heard this mentality before by some pretty bad dudes in history.Quote
Everybody should get the same opportunity at succeeding, but that's a whole different discussion.
Isn't this what free-market capitalism is?Quote
We are here for different reasons and have different visions where Bitcoin could take us, so my advice is to keep your emotional outbursts to yourself - they aren't helpful.
Emotions are what induce us to act. My emotional outburst was based on a principle which I hope others can infer correctly from reading this post. I am not afraid to show emotions if they come from a place of truth.Quote
We have one common goal - we want Bitcoin to succeed, so lets help each other out where we can and keep out of each others way where we can't.
I agree wholeheartedly, but how do we collectively determine what actions are helpful? Does more thoughtful conversation and analysis help the group?Quote
Bitcoin has it's good and bad sides, but it is not for you nor me, nor polititians to decide what is good and what is bad. It is for people to decide.
I agree. Quote
Have a nice evening
Thank you. Also, my thoughts were not organized linearly and your post forced me to linearize them. For that I thank you as well.
