i don't know if i quite believe in capital punishment, but it's at least nice to for once see a wealthy person live by the same rule of law as the commonfolk.

I don't know why people think capital punishment is less civilized than locking people in cages until they submit. The first is the most natural thing in the world, two forces oppose each other and one moves forward. The second forces blind submission without opposition, making it so even the force that wins is not the better for it. Additionally, the latter makes it far too easy for people to lock up others for lifestyle choices or minor scuffles (since in the eyes of the public, it's not punishment it's 'rehabilitation').
IMO there is nothing more civilized than execution or exile justice. Leave people to deal with their own shit. If someone commits an act that creates such a grievance with the locals that they want him gone, then get him gone, one way or the other.
unlike in the U.S., where it's nearly impossible to go to jail if you're a wealthy banker or magnate.
The only time a wealthy person goes to jail in the U.S. is when they piss off enough other wealthy people (but ofcourse that's true in most countries).
I don't mind when capitol punishment is used in charges of murder/homicide. Death for white collar crimes is way overboard, imo.
Light/No sentences for white collar crimes is why rich people keep doing them...blatantly...sometimes publicly....and then shrugging it off when they get caught.
imo living in a country like Iran while being a billionaire is pretty stoopid lol
Unless it's home :2

A cryptoanarchist bitcoiner with a bank account?
Blasphemy!
The only place I keep fiat is in my wallet. Banks are for suckers.

You don't have a bank account. That means that you probably don't have a house, or a credit card, direct deposit, or children, or any of the other things that are part of normal life. You are basically a monk of a pseudo-religion. Your experience is so far from our own that any advice that you might have is likely to be useless or even dangerous to us.
Monks cannot provide a good example to the rest of us, because if we all lived like monks there would be no families and thus no future. All purely monastic societies die sooner or later.
This post made me laugh so hard I nearly shit myself.
This WAS meant as a joke right?
Re: FBI to have 52 million photos in its NGI face recognition database by next year
Will happen eventually, of that I have no doubt.
But states tend not to follow federal initiatives with any speed or enthusiasm. This will take decades IMO.

All things in good time my friend
Although BTC is necessarily be the currency of the future, there are a few altcoins that may see the spotlight before big vendors/markets start adopting virtual currencies.

Bitcoin ain't gonna crash. It still holding above $500. It's only down now because of the ever present Chinese ban BTC rumors.
^ this
The chinese markets are huge and have historically had a big impact on the global price of btc. There's been times before when a btc market in china has gone under and the price dropped for a couple weeks before going back up.
All I see is down and down, we couldn't even break into 6s during the last rally.
If bitcoin isn't valuable then why use it instead of a new coin that doesn't have a few powerful people that all ready control all of it?
Thinking of cashing out all my BTC and going to vegas for an expensive weekend

Crashes have happened before, and everytime people scream it's the end of btc.
Other 'better' altcoins do exist, but it'll be years and years before their popularity will reach that of bitcoin, they also have no place in the public eye (which means businesses are much less likely to adopt them).
Bitcoin breaking into several online markets and vendors that previously scoffed it. I don't think this is the end of btc at all.
I have been excercising for a while to lose wait now and eventually I've lost some weights. However the fat around my belly hasn't been burned. Please advice me what to do.
Do cardio 3-5 days a week, also make sure you get a good sweat out of it.
Ab exercises will help firm up the muscles, which will make it more apparent when you do end up losing the fat. Strengthening you're core is always a good thing, and it tends to make you feel better about yourself which leads to exercise and eating healthy being easier.
And ofcourse the obvious eat less / don't eat foods heavy in fat and sugar.
There really is no easy way to do it, when losing weight belly fat is some of the last to go.
Also everything this guy said is pretty accurate:
You need to do cardio, cardio, and more cardio. Building muscle is great but if your six pack is under 2" of fat you can't see it without a scalpel.
When running (or any form of cadio) make sure you keep your hear rate in the fat burning range. Initially you will want to use a heart rate monitor eventually you will just be able to feel when in the zone. Running too fast, too hard will spike your heart rate out of the zone. At that work level your body can't efficiently burn fat and still provide the needed energy so it switches to only burning blood sugar. So instead you will want to run slower/easier for longer periods of time. If you are going to run remember running is destructive to the body (literally components are damaged, degraded) so you need off days. Initially I would say run no more than 3 days a week and eventually you can bump that up to 4 or 5.
TL/DR version:
If your goal is to lose fat you need to focus on cardioand keep your heart rate in the fat burning zone. Once you burn off enough fat switch to a more varied work out regiment.

I need to make 0.002 BTC ( around $1 USD) pretty fast, but I'm not sure what is a good way because I know you can make some money with bit visitor, etc. But I dont like sites where you there is a minimum payout because if I hit $1, I want that to be payed out, and not to be payed out if I make like $10, so does anyone here have any tips? Thank you
There are still active faucets, take a few drips

Goddamn
I have deleted a handful. I treated a conspiracy theorist on here quite poorly (I basically dox'd him after showing he wasn't actually really willing to bet that I could find an Aurora shooting victim's traces on the Internet prior to the shooting, which I did and he still thought Aurora was "false flag" event) and now he thinks I'm a government agent. I believed I deleted most of my posts associated with that whole mess because it was pretty embarrassing for him and I came across as a pissed off maniac.
That said, he's left the forum and come back several times over now since.
Goddamn
Do any of you guys delete old posts as time passes?

Re: Why on earth is bitcointalk running adds for a pyramid scheme ?
This forum is running adds for ponzicoin.co
This is an obvious pyramid scheme that will sooner or later collapse for sure and a lot of people will loose their money.
When this happens a lot of people are going to use this as ammunition against bitcoin. Like look bitcoin scam, bitcoin pyramid, bitcoin ponzi etc endorsed by bitcointalk, that what they gonna say.
I think it is a very bad idea for bitcointalk to be running these adds

It's a ponzi scheme which admits it's a ponzi scheme.
You could technically see it as a risky form of gambling I suppose. But the potential payouts vs the risk is far too imbalanced to ever make anything like this worth it IMO.
Re: Over 70BTC bet that Bitcoin will be $10,000 by end of 2014
http://bitbet.us/bet/635/1btc-10-000-usd/
Which side do you think is right?
It's tough to predict so early, but I'm quite sure it won't be $10,000 for at least a few years.

$10,000? I highly doubt it.
If it were $2-3,000 that would still be a risky bet, but atleast plausible.
Re: So this is what a "for the children" gun grabber looks like in California :)
You should have an allowance (public ledger?) per month with a receipt for everything you spend as this is not your money. Of course it will not stop people from being a fraud but it would a start.
This would certainly be a start.
Also, the ability for people to add amendments to laws/bills anonymously should not be a thing. Politicians on both local and national levels don't care if they add in some fine print or a loophole in some 5000-page document, because even if somebody catches it they won't know who put it in there.
Last week I would have been very interested. Today, not so much.
Y? U no like ads in your virtual reality device?
Is Bitcoin still as safe at it used to be? Tokyo isnt the only place affected. Apparantly the Mt.Gox bankruptcy has had a major effect on the Indian sub-continent as well. A jolting shock struck them as Crores of Rupees held by have vanished overnight. The thread shows the article published by the Indian newspaper on the issue. The total lost is estimated to be around 10-20 crores.

Private financial institution != Public currency
Although failure of largely influential financial institutions almost inevitably cause extreme price fluctuations on the global market. I'm really surprised that the mtgox incident didn't drop the price more than it did (most likely thanks to the fact that most bitcoiners saw something like this coming with mtgox and pulled out in the preceding year).
Re: You think MtGox's lost 850k btc is beyond comprehension? ... watch this.
You would think an institution with as many resources as the Fed has would be able to find someone, anyone, better to handle a hearing than that lady. You could throw sardines at a wall and the noises it would produce would be a more compelling answer than her inane mumbling.
Every time I hear any kind of government board hearing, senate investigation, or question-answer session, I lose a little more faith in politics.
The one on Benghazi is the worst IMO.

Leland Yee marches alongside Occupy SF
In a phenomenon that may be unique to liberal San Francisco, mayoral candidates are jumping on the Occupy SF bandwagon. John Avalos and Joanna Rees have already visited the protesters downtown camp. Leland Yee marched with the occupation Saturday, and on Friday David Chiu stopped by for a chat with the 99 percent. Yee joined Occupy SF for a massive march to Civic Center Plaza on Saturday.
"I'm proud to have always stood with the 99%, especially when I fought corporate greed at the UC and CSU, and when I voted against Draconian cuts to our schools, social services and health care," Yee said in a press release. "I am enthused that the Occupy movement has taken off and empowered our community . It is time we return City Hall to the people rather than the powerbrokers."
On Friday, according to Chius Twitter feed, the city supervisor made an appearance at the camp to talk to protesters about why they were there.
Last weekend, protester Nicole Ghanbarzadeh told the Examiner that the occupiers had come to a consensus not to endorse any politicians.

9/10 did lol
Time after time it's proven right in front of people that a public image is not the same as a real person, yet we keep voting in politicians based on publicity stunts, 'un-biased' media stories, and soundbyte wars.
And the corruption is at all levels, look at the shit eric holder pulled off.
Even local city governments are corrupt as hell. There's a big river that runs through my city, no one wanted it to get so over-built that the natural beauty of it was lost
so a public measure was presented, voted on, and approved to ban building directly on the river bank. Anyways, a few years later a rich real estate developer came through and starts building high-rise apartments right on the bank. Made a shitton off them too since there was no competition; rent there is like 3k a month (avg rent for a 2-bed where I live is ~$600). I'm assuming all it took was him paying off a few members of the council to pry add in some fine-text loophole that let him do whatever the fuck he wants.

Do Bitcoins actually exist, or are they just code and numbers with a nice logo?
Are you implying that codes and numbers don't exist?Are you implying implications?
