But it is controlled by the devs that write the code that implements it.  Don't kid yourself it came out of thin air and magically looks after itself.  All a fork is, is someone who writes the code thinking they have a better way of doing it.

First of all, fuck your lame attempt to be polite and nice and not offend anyone.

The term you are looking for is "illegal alien." Just one example...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0261379414000973

....specifically, they write, "Noncitizen votes likely gave Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress."

Specifically, the authors say that illegals may have cast as many as 2.8 million votes in 2008 and 2010. That's a lot of votes. And when you consider the population of illegal inhabitants has only grown since then, it's not unreasonable to suppose that their vote has, too.

Ah, ad hominem attacks, the last bastion of those without any logical argument. It is a fact that illegal aliens are voting even though they are legally prohibited from doing so. This is the main motivation behind issuing them drivers licenses, because many states automatically add people to the voter registration rolls when they apply for one. Russia isn't shipping millions of people into the country to vote. Russia also does not have the power to almost completely silence 50%+ of the population.

It is illegal for them to vote*

There, I fixed that for you.

Pay no attention to the millions of foreign nationals being allowed to flood over our border to manipulate voting demographics. What is important is Russia bought $2000 worth of Facefuck ads!

Even $100,000 would kill it.  If 1 sat (or even 100 sat) == $1 then the fees would grind the system to a halt.  The fees would be so high relative to the amount sent, that it wouldn't be worth it.  From an investment perspective 1 sat==1$ is a nice round number.  From a users perspective, only being able to buy things divisible by 1$ is crap.  

People of BitcoinTalk, Rejoice;

Satoshi has been found.

The Path to Satoshi is simple.

It is within this private key, though now that I understand how to find it I doubt any of you will:

49616D5361746F7368694E616B616D6F746F2B36323832313434343135343530

I have talked with Satoshi over the phone, and he has told me he is open to me communicating with him (he said once or twice a month).

I invite the community to give me a set of our most important questions to him that I will present during our next call.

I also invite the community to select an ambassador who I will invite Satoshi to speak with in a way that is safe for Satoshi.

I do not know how he will feel about me posting this, and I get the impression he simultaneously desires recognition for what he has done, and is afraid of what that recognition could mean.

Satoshi is not Craig Wright. Satoshi does not still have the private keys to his wallets.

Long Live Satoshi,

Well, in this world where people actually care about the planet - you can't say this is any good...

Bitcoin is definitely spewing out WAY TOO much carbon dioxide and is going to kill us all.  Can't fix it either because the entire notion of blockchain requires competitive mining.  It is only going to get much worse as Bitcoin value increases.  Total ruin. 

I really think this is the death knell for Bitcoin.

Trump has been very quiet about Bitcoin. Why?

^^^ Much science theory discredits itself.

Science is full of guesses. They should focus on practical stuff.

God had the Bible written to save people, not because people or their loss do anything to God. It was simply His good nature directed towards people.

These are facts that science isn't capable of easily observing, yet.

When debit cards and credit cards are used everywhere, there will be no cash/currency. Money will be digital

Cashless society = Digital money. Bitcoin will be in real trouble.

Bitcoin is famous for money laundering. Bitconnect used bitcoin for $14 billion ponzi. All eyes are on Bitcoin

Bitcoin Threatens To 'Take Power' From The U.S. Federal Reserve

Bitcoin has long been called a threat to the existing financial system and the central banks that run it—though these claims have in the past been largely fringe ideas.The bitcoin price, now hovering around $8,000 per bitcoin, double what it began the year at, is often closely tied to public awareness of cryptocurrencies and the latest bitcoin bull run beginning in early April re-started the public debate on bitcoin.

Now, U.S. Democrat Congressman Brad Sherman has urged his colleagues to consider banning bitcoin and cryptocurrencies due to the threat they pose to U.S. international financial power, saying bitcoin needs to be "[nipped] in the bud."
