Here you go pal I think that's what you're looking for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8et6mJ3sKis

Weird, it really wasn't easy to find, I had to dig into the non-English part of youtube for this. It's like they don't want this to be spread around.

Re: The path to BTC 4K and ETH 1K

If ETH reached 1k, I'd pretty much lose faith in all cryptocurrencies' ability to innovate without everyone giving up on an entire currency every couple of years.

Immutability is a great characteristic but if ETH gets that far it'll show that decentralised innovation like Bitcoin promotes is not good enough to stay dominant.

ETH 1k and Bitcoin 4k would have ETH at a higher market cap than Bitcoin (not that market cap matters, but it's the only measure I can think of).

This! There are plenty of other currencies out there that offer much more useful innovations to the community than ETH. The main reason for ETH keeps growing is because it's in a bubble of it's own which will eventually burst. I don't think it will crash to it's low point of $7 this winter but it will see several major dumps before it gets to $1000. By then BTC will have long since passed the 4K milestone.

Re: GNT golem AND GNS gnosis- 2 scams to avoid

Why avoid ICOs? They provide great opportunities for quick multiplication of your investment? Golem gave it's initial holders X50 return and their project seems to going well. Gnosis seems to be doing good too. They look no more fishy to me than any other regular alt coin.

Those of you who protest the 100 or so civilians we just killed in Mosul need to remember that the cost of terrorism is high. We may have to keep killing civilians at an ever higher rate, and you can be sure that if we kill enough civilians terror will become a thing of the past.

Sorry, but I couldn't find that quote in the article. Are you sure Trump said that? Sounds way too extreme for a president to say, and also hypocritical especially considering they constantly attack Russia for supposed civilian casualties in Syria. Are you sure that's not fake news or something?

Re: How will china reacts to the demographic explosion worldwide?

China doesn't need to care about a demographic explosion. Within their huge population they still have almost unlimited and unrealized potential of economic growth. I shudder to think how will Chinese world domination look like after we've already seen how the US - a nation 4 times smaller toyed with the world for the past 70 years. Maybe at least they'll rid us of Islamic fundamentalism.

Re: Who is a champion of modern privacy and free expression?
by

on 24/05/2017, 21:58:19 UTC
Satoshi Nakamoto!

If only the submission form didn't require so much information that's not known about Satoshi. It's kind of funny how a nomination for the champion of modern privacy requires that the nomination and the person doing the nominating provide their name, email address, and other contact information. Not entirely private, eh?

Maybe it's a "smart" move by authorities to expose the location of such defenders of freedom across the globe. I'd nominate Julian Assange since everyone knows exactly where to find him anyway Cheesy

I'm having a friend write for me a desktop application that pulls price data from coinmarketcap and shows it on your screen. We'll see how it goes maybe I'll share it if it's worthy of public use.

Re: Where is the best place to buy Bitcoins for cheap?

You can probably negotiate something with somebody, specifically if you are willing to buy in person as to avoid getting scammed. However this will probably go only for buying lots of BTC, and I doubt there will be a huge discount with BTC now at $2000.

Re: Dinosaur asteroid hit 'worst possible place'

Even without all the sulphur that wen't into the atmosphere this asteroid impact was still severe enough to cause a long nuclear winter. The dinosaurs, especially the biggest kinds of them were a species with great needs. They would have never managed to adapt to the new environment. It was just their time to go.

Re: China wants 'new Silk Road' One Belt One Road project to help it dominate world

The Uighurs are one of the most assimilated Muslim people in the world, along with the other Chinese Muslim ethnic group (Hui). Most of the Uighurs are now educated, secular, and fluent in Mandarin Chinese. The Chinese have succeeded in successfully integrating these people.

From what I know I'm not so sure they're so well integrated as you say. Remember when this happened https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_2009_%C3%9Cr%C3%BCmqi_riots Or this http://www.rfa.org/english/news/uyghur/reports-07292014102851.html

Would be great if some local Chinese gives his thoughts on this.

Re: Same sex marriages and LGBT parents

From a Darwinian point of view it's bad for the species, considering same sex partners can't have a child of their own, they can only adopt. Anyway I think it's fair to accept it. We have to take into consideration their feelings and needs, they are people too and we're not in the middle ages anymore.

Re: Why do people like Trump?
by
fryger
on 15/05/2017, 18:21:14 UTC
People don't like losers. People like successful people. This is an example to follow. Trump is pathetic and nothing more. When he against all he was doomed to be a loser. It is his personal tragedy, but it will pay for all Americans.

Trump is the living manifestation of American success. He's been a household name for several decades. He's been out with some of the most gorgeous women of the past few generations. He's been on the cover of a multitude of magazines including Playboy. He's a multimillionaire owning successful businesses, planes, cars buildings and so on. He's also a popular reality TV star, he shaved Vince McMahon's head in WWE, aaand he's now the President of the USA. I guess he's yet to become Pope or some other big religious leader but looks like anything is possible for him.

Where did you see loser in all of that? I just don't get it.

Eventually, nations such as Pakistan and Tajikistan will become vassal nations of China.

Ignoring the fact that these are Muslim countries, they should really be looking forward to this day. Will be interesting to see the Chinese try to incorporate them into their country/union considering even they don't seem to be able to deal with their Muslim minority - the Uyghurs.

SA have Nr. 1 position with 19.907 USD billions national debt

This has been like that for like as long as I can remember. It's not a problem for the US to have the largest national debt in the world and keep being the strongest economy. The entire world uses the dollar and unwillingly pays in one way or another for the deficiencies of the US financial system.

Re: VOTE * Do you believe in "Intellectual Property" laws?
by

on 11/05/2017, 10:02:07 UTC
I do however believe it is in need of reform, particularly in certain fields where it does the opposite of fostering development it restricts it. For example patents that are held for the sole reason of preventing development or companies that buy patents simply to sue others for using something similar.

Exactly, I can think of a few cases when Nvidia was just sitting on new developments and technologies, simply because their current tech was "good enough" and AMD couldn't do anything cause that technology was under patent.

I'm against doing drugs in general, but then again I can't tell people what to do. If people want to be junkies let them be junkies, however when drug use starts getting glorified on the street and in the media that's when I draw the line. Just go do your drugs man, don't try to make it look cool.

Re: what is the best website for downloading movies?

ThePiratebay, putlocker, kickass torrent, and showbox are the best for downloading movies.

What, is Kickass torrent back? Can you PM me the official URL? If they're up again that's really big.

Oh OP, you can also try YTS movies. Their HD releases are of good quality and small size, although perfectionists around the internet have been flaming them a bit, mostly for their weird sound quality.

Re: That Great Big Beautiful Wall

I can still imagine there might be some sort of wall or other wall-like border obstacle built on the US-Mexico border. What I can't imagine is Mexico paying for it like Trump wanted. No way in hell can Mexico afford such a project and not go bankrupt. Not to mention they have absolutely no interest in it.
