It is nice to see that my hard work (and the cost of £9000 a year) is finally starting to pay off. As I actually understand what the f*** people are saying.
I did a little research and according to wikipedia:

Base58 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes used to represent large integers as alphanumeric text. It is similar to Base64 but has been modified to avoid both non-alphanumeric characters and letters which might look ambiguous when printed. It is therefore designed for human users who manually enter the data, copying from some visual source, but also allows easy copy and paste because a double-click will usually select the whole string.

Surprising enough the currency collapse in Weimar Germany didn't bring business to a halt, bankruptcies went up a lot on the brief occasions some sort of order was returned to the moneys collapse but when it was shot to hell there where few more than normal averages. Things weren't good by any means but they kept some sort of order even when you'd save a hell of a lot paying for a meal before instead of after. That's not an overnight collapse or civil war breaking out though but if the dollar went out with a bang there'd be plenty of similarities.
I actually thought the same thing when composing my argument. But the reason I didn't use it as a counter argument to my own point was that Germany had plenty of healthy neighbours they could still barter with. A lot of countries would be in a mess if the dollar collapsed. Subsequently the dollar collapse would probably be much worse than the Weimar Republics hyperinflation, much worse than Zimbabwes too. "Fact, the U.S. dollar WILL collapse in the next year or two"

Yawn - if the dollar crashes bitcoin is not going to save you. That is the only fact here.
P.s. The dollar is not going to crash any time soon.....

I think we can agree to disagree about the dollar collapsing, it's almost a mainstream idea these days.
But let's imagine the dollar started to collapse, it won't be over weeks it will be sudden and violent. What would you do and what would you advise your froends and family to do? if a bank run happens it will be an online bank run, no queues outside banks. In 24hrs most people would have time to move their money to some kind fo online Gold account which usually takes time to process or people will scramble to Bitcoin. I'm not saying everyone will, but enough to send the price way higher than people imagine.
a) If the dollar collapses the social unrest is going to hit factor 10 (worse than Bosnia).
b) Social unrest is a very ugly phenomena.
My friends stories actually broke my heart. But I can summarise some main points really quickly:
a) Money becomes worthless. No one wants a medium of exchange, they want real tangible goods. That is not gold and silver, that is food, guns, ammunition, candles, lighters, whisky (lots of people turn to drink).
b) The only time people are willing to trade their goods is in exchange for other goods that they NEED. No one cares about being wealthy.
c) If you are somehow wealthy in this situation, you will be killed.
d) The only thing that will protect you is many friends and many guns.
Subsequently I really have to disagree strongly about BitCoin being worth a dime in a dollar collapse situation. I honestly5. think that people don't know what they are actually saying when they talk about a dollar collapse. Be careful what you wish for
1. The Internet was barely used in 1992.
2. Bitcoin was not invented in 1992.
3. We are ina time of mass transport, just because the dollar collapses dosnt mean many savvy people will seek to leave the U.S. and take wealth with them.
4. I'm sorry but if there was very wealthy Bosnians they would of scrambled their wealth into gold and left, you experiences are one of the average man on the street.
5. Bosnia was a civil war not simply a currency collapse.
6. I live in Asia, your dollar or Euro has no affect on me so if it does turn to bloody violence I'll be watching you blow each other's brains out on Twitter sipping lattes just like Americans did during the Bosnian war, The Iraq war, The Libiyan war, Vietnam War the Ukrainian war....No one said it will be pretty but America is not the whole world, many countries and parts of the world might even prosper from a dollar collapse.
3 and 4 are true. But for every 5 people who are rich enough to leave there are 95 who aren't. My friends said that is happened so fast that hardly anyone had the preparations to leave.
5 A currency collapse would lead to collapsed states and massive internal conflicts. Zimbabwe 2008 springs to mind.
6 Depends where in Asia, but you will have minimal repercussions. Yes
P.s. You sound like a intelligent interesting individual. Don't take my disagreements personally (in case you were).
Actually my central point is 1 & 2. People now have the ability to 24/7 get online and move their money to safer locations, will everyone, no, but a lot will. That is what has changed, tho gs will move in real time and as we get news of dollar collapsing we will also see within minutes even seconds movement of money. In the past people woke up one day and the banks are closed and the currency collapsed overnight, this time I belive will be different.
I guess my point is the Stars are lining up for Bitcoin and what happens next is almost inevitable.
No I don't take arguments personally unless you call me an asshole, but I will disagree and argue my points strongly.
... what good do you think it would do humanity?
Critical thinking time - put your thinking caps on.
Anyone and everyone is free to answer as they see fit, but I am really interested in points that:
a) Give reasons why it will. It will be good for humans because.....
&
b) Have solid reasoning, saying it will get rid of the bankers is not solid reasoning. I would class a better answer as Bitcoin will remove banks which will have this effect and that, which in turn would benefit humanity because of x and y.
I am going to try my hardest not to disagree with anyone on this thread, but I may ask you to justify further. Your choice if you do or not.
Why? I am interested....
QUICK NOTE: Busy for a while, will reply when can

Re: [ANN][NOO]NooCoin | Nootropic Payment Gateway | 25% Discount | Now Shipping!
So as I promised earlier in the week, here is my review of my first NooHack supplement. I have heard quite a lot about adrafinil and felt its effects would best suit my needs so decided it would be good product to start with. I suffer with quite a skittish mind at times, and have a lot of stresses and strains going on in my life. I often struggle to focus my energy efficiently into, well, anything to be honest.
This review a couple of days ago when I first tried it. I look forward to using it again!
I haven't taken it since but have a heavy day tomorrow so will probably try it out again. Hopefully it has the same results!

About 20-30 minutes after taking the one capsule I got a slight heat in the front of my head. Some people apparently get a slight headache too as the supplement takes effect. For me, this passed within perhaps 3-4 minutes, but I have read report of it often lasting 5-10 minutes.
After roughly an hour I could feel a positive energy coming from within me. Now, while I know the cause of this is the Adrafinal, it genuinely feels as if it is coming from yourself. I have used many stimulants and study aids in my time in order to help me concentrate, and they seem to provide what I can only describe as an "outward-in stimulation". This supplement feels more of an inward-out stimulation. In-fact, stimulation is the wrong word, I was calm, and still am (5 hours after taking it).
I am passionate with fitness, yet haven't trained in a while due to suffering with Bronchitis. Over the last few weeks it has ran me down so much and so hard, I simply haven't had the energy. With this new found focus, I decided to attempt to train again. It suddenly became clear that I was wallowing to an extent, and needed to give provide my body with some sort of physical activity. I felt like I needed to be productive in some sense, and I have been missing training desperately. I attempted the weights first but the illness, still causing me a great amount of fatigue, caused me to stop very quickly. However, unlike other times during this period of illness when I have felt the urge to take self pity and give in, or even try to illogically fight through the fatigue, I put on some relaxing music and practiced various forms and Kata of my Ninjutsu training instead.
I felt loose, supple, relaxed and 'at one' with myself. My techniques were flawless and felt highly controlled through the mind-muscle connection. I felt everything with more clarity. My feet, hips, even each joint moving and I could control my breathing effortlessly. Usually I get tense, distracted, and sometimes anxious when I am not performing to a high standard. This time, I was able to perform some of the movements with my eyes closed for a good few minutes in my cluttered gym (note, I have been training for many years now, I am not suggesting that the product allowed me to suddenly do this). I didn't bump into a thing, my awareness was at a level which I could not describe. After the session, I was left still feeling motivated, leading me to further instill the techniques and how I was able to perform them.
Now, I suspect this product will be useful for all manner of purposes, the calm "zen-like" state of my mind combined with strong motivation to be productive is quite incredible. I do NOT feel high, buzzed, amped, aggressive, anxious, jittery or any other usual effect of other substances like caffeine etc. It is an odd feeling, like being able to think one step ahead of where my emotions would normally take me, and allow me to make informed decisions. Various nervous ticks have disappeared, which only get worse with caffeine and other stimulants. Today has been the most productive day I have had in many weeks. I feel this product, given sensible use, will continue to be of great benefit to me. My mind is working not faster, but more efficiently.
I am now finishing off a to-do list that has been sitting on my desk for far too long. I do not even know why I had been putting these tasks off. I now find myself going through them in a orderly manor, whereas usually I would find myself either dismissing them or trying to take them all on at once, leading to unproductive use of my time.
Hope this is of some help to those looking for answers. I suspect everyone will react differently as my research has taught me. For me personally though, this supplement is a winner.

Re: 80 richest people on the planet have the same wealth as the poorest 50%
Especially in this forum, just want to point out your comment is very wise and something I subscribe to myself. In a lot of ways, the middle class is voluntarily hanging itself. We need to get re-energized about our place in the world once more. Prior to these inflated decades of entitlement, the middle class man was revered for his sense of duty, honor and commitment to family and friends. He worked hard and it stood for something. Getting rich was not his idea of life, though perhaps a by-product.
Why thank you ! A very kind thing to say. We need to get re-energized about our place in the world once more.
^^ I could not agree more with this. It has taken many a hard working man to create the society in which we are blessed to be currently living in today. Our forefathers have fought for centuries told to fight for the standard of living that most of us in the west enjoy today. They would probably be immensely proud of how far our species has come and the fruits that our and there labour have brought. However, I am also sure they would be a little pleased to see how are appetites for bigger and better have increased exponentially, whereas our hunger to work hard for such improvements has practically vanished.
In Asia, that hunger is growing. Watch the east.
Re: What Would Make People Gain Much More Interest in Bitcoin?
Well there is high levels of unemployment. And there is always little jobs going. Combine the two. Wala - you have a significant proportion of society interested in making some money in BTC. Similar to that 5er website. It's a neutral for BTC price too. Employers buy BTC, employees sell BTC for cash. No downward pressure.
Re: 80 richest people on the planet have the same wealth as the poorest 50%
The problem is getting worse also, the super rich are getting better and better at killing the middle class. I reckon best thing to do is boycott the system as much as possible. Trying to address the problem within the system hasnt worked.
Quote from: Queen Victoria
"Give my people plenty of beer, good beer, and cheap beer, and you will have no revolution among them."
The problem isn't the rich. The problem is the lethargy of the working man. If you want change then switch off your PC, mute your televisions and begin to appreciate your fellow man. You'd be surprised how many people think the same way but wouldn't know where to begin. We need a shepherd to guide us. Be that shepherd. Fear porn at its finest. Coming from someone who used to invest his time (but fortunately not my money) in fear porn I will suggest in a friendly manner that your time is better spent else where. Needless to say live your life as you please, but time is your most valuable commodity. Spend it wisely.
