  1. In the nineteenhundreds the English had taken Kuwait from the Iraqis by illegal force.
    Saddam just took it back and we just repeated the crime of the English.
    We are nothing more than a bunch of war-loving criminals.
    We will use just about every excuse possible to have our military burn the weapons produced by the military industrial complex and paid by the people, no matter what the casualties are, as long as they are not American, except if we can blame someone else. Then even that doesn't matter.
    We are despicable criminals to the bone.

  2. Why, it worked, didn't it?
    The matter was investigated, no wrong doing found.
    Case closed. ...No?

    Crime 1:
    The US politicians had sent their army to Iraq based on a pack of lies, and they knew it.

    Crime 2:
    Shooting journalists at war time.

    Crime 3:
    Shooting at people helping the wounded.

    Bradley Manning was a hero, exposing the war crimes of the war criminals in Washington DC.
    So yes, it matters what Chelsea thinks.
    And your opinion is totally irrelevant.

    Let me quote you again, maybe it will become clear to you what you really said (wrote):

    The previous interglacial periods haven't had as much CO2 in the air as we're putting in there.

    Here you state that we are putting more CO2 into the atmosphere than existed in previous interglacial periods.
    That was about 300 ppm as per the link https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/pa... I supplied and which you didn't dispute (yet).
    Now you allege we are at 400. Minus 280 at pre-industrial revolution equals a contribution of 120 ppm.

    120 is smaller than 300, so, no, we did not put in 'as much' (yet).

    There is also a transaction fee, in existing bitcoins, that they will get from the transactors.

  12. Re:Fancy accounting. on Bitcoin and Blockchain Are Among the Fastest-Growing Skills Online (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I think the bitcoin honestly wasn't meant to become a pyramid scheme, but because the supply is limited, it is unavoidable that the value will go up as more people get to know about it, and then it turns into an investment opportunity. But its price will rice only until the knowledge is 'saturated' among the population.
    Then either it will turn into the payment processing vehicle that it probably was meant to be, or it will come crashing down so hard that it's hard to recover from it.
    But still then there could be people buying 'when the blood flows through the streets', after which the price can go up again.

    We are now at a level of roughly 280 ppm, consistent with the long-term variations in CO2 vs global temperature. CO2 has been at 300 ppm roughly 320,000 years ago. Are you saying we ourselves are putting more than 300 ppm in the atmosphere?

  18. Re:When will the bubble pop? on Bitcoin and Blockchain Are Among the Fastest-Growing Skills Online (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    The bubble will pop just like in any other pyramid scheme, when the majority of the lower classes and taxi drivers are going to step in and start reporting huge gains, enticing the remaining people to step in as well.
    That's when the bitcoin market gets saturated and that's a short time before it will either totally crash, or be used as a mode of payment and storage of wealth worldwide.
    In either way we can theorize about the value of 1 BTC at that point:

    There are 10 billion people vs 20 million bitcoins.
    If from all those people 2% steps in with $1,000 as they seem to have done during the tulip mania, then that's a market cap of $200 billion for 20 million BTC, corresponding to a value of $10 million / BTC.

    Holy crap! I think I will hold on to my 1-1/2 BTC for a while... :)
