That is a piss poor attempt at FUD if I've ever seen one. Protip: Hero accounts can be purchased. Credibility = 0.

There's only 21 million coins ever. It actually gives an incentive to adopt early.

I can offer 0.57142857 BTC for one code.

0.57142857 BTC for Shogun 2.

Interesting...

Would you want a fixed RROD Xbox? I had a RROD 1-ring, fixed it myself, and wouldn't mind getting rid of it. Not banned from XBL.

Cool chain letter, bro.

Last I heard, people were buying land in places like Africa and paying contractors to defend it for them. Just don't go to Zimbabwe, Mugabe doesn't like it when white people own African land.

I can sell you two already registered accounts for cheap, only problem is you can't change the name. If so, PM me.

Most people aren't aware of it's existence, honestly.

Tyranny of the majority is never a good thing.

Right, but there will always be people who depend on an overarching power structure (A government), and depriving them of that desire is still coercive. Under this decentralized Federation anyone would be free to shop around for any Government they so wished for, rather than forcing an entire geographic area to submit to one ideology.

Personally, I think we'll see something different in the future than what we currently have. People have this outdated notion that an entire geographical region must be under the same laws and restrictions, when it's clear that certain communities have entirely different cultural views, and Government doesn't work because of these heterogeneous populations get into voting wars, and usually nothing good ever comes from it.

I think in the future, we'll see something entirely different, a Federation of sorts. I'm personally of the ancap and agorist persuasion, but I don't think we'll ever see either of these philosophies applied to an actual large geographical area, like the United States. Instead, the Governing system will be a loose Federation of communities/states, where the form of Government is based on tradition (culture) and there will be the possibility of dispute resolution and everything else to settle potential problems. A good example is California; under this sort of Federation type system, California would be entirely free to become a robust social democracy/welfare state, and it won't drag everyone else down. I guess you could kind of say it's similar to the Articles of Confederation, but more modern. This sort of system allows a Government of any flavor, and because there isn't a huge central Government, the propensity towards conflict would be minimized. Issues would still arise, but I think this is the most consistent form of 'Government' as it were (in reality, it's merely  a lack of centralization), and is honestly the only way to keep consistent with the NAP that many libertarians claim to support.

Is it not coercive to force people to live under 'anarchy' if they don't want to, the same way it's coercive to force me to live under a fascist social democracy? Libertarians fail to make this distinction, they just assume everyone will go along with their plan.

Paid $130 shipped for an open box 6870 earlier today; you'd be insane to pay OP's prices unless he tosses in a decent reach-around. Jus' Sayin'.

Those prices are ridiculous, especially for used hardware... Jus' saying.

The price system is one of the most important features of an economy, and without it the economy ceases to exist. Soviet Russia didn't have a price system, and they basically just borrowed prices from neighboring capitalist conuntries, and that still didn't keep them from wasting tons of resources and not being able to deliver others. Money and prices are an information exchange, you simply can't get rid of them.

$130 for the 6870, and is there anyway to verify you're a legit seller?

In order to understand my position, you have to let go of this irrational view of law and regulation as codified bureaucratic non-sense. Like I said, read Hayek, he has done a lot of work in this area. I can sit here and type up what's on my mind, but you'll just ignore it and reply with the typical strawman. You still haven't demonstrated that you're not a troll. Give me a good reason.

Show me how well Government regulation works in combatting everything you bemoan, and maybe I'll put in some more effort to prove my point. Admittedly, my position is idealistic, whereas your position has been shown to be entirely useless. There's nuance to my position (read Hayek), whereas yours just has a long history of failure.

What I was hinting at, was self-regulation. Being polite in public and holding doors for people is self-regulation that we all engage in. That's because there are incentives and disincentives in our culture. If we made it culturally advantageous to run a completely honest business, then more people would do it. Our current culture is apathetic and uneducated. A free market economy would only happen if consumers were more involved and more knowledgeable, but this idea that Government can effectively regulate is entirely bunk. Implicit cultural laws already regulate businesses in some aspects, and there's no reason why it can't completely take over. The reason why corporations get away with what they do now is because people don't care. If you want to fix corporations, you need to fix the culture, but I reject this idea that regulation is going to fix anything. We have more and more pages of new regulation passed every year, and things never change, and in fact, they get worse.

Wanna know why? The cost to comply with laws and regulations emboldens super corporations and creates barriers to entry for smaller businesses. Regulations actually make big corporations like Walmart even bigger, because the onslaught of new regulations make it impossible to compete with Walmart, because unlike Walmart, their competitors can't afford to staff an army of lawyers and accountants. Walmart can. Regulation doesn't work.
