Let's try this again. I keep forgetting Slashdot has no edit button:
It was a metaphor, not a model. My point was that something being able to be affected by external events isn't the same as being "vulnerable to manipulation", nor is it necessarily bad. The points work for most somethings, currency or not.
I probably muddied the point by making 2 points at once.

I'm cherry picking the moment of the year, but for any 2 year combo since inception, I think I'm right.
What, you think I conduct a study and write up an abstract to leave a slashdot comment? Bitcoins were 8 cents. Now they're $920 or so. The stock market certainly didn't beat it since inception, regardless of cherry picked intervals.
Anyone whining that it's a bad investment just comes off as sour grapes. If I'd put $100 in back when I thought it was a cool thing, I could have paid off my house last year.
Contracts require agreement by both parties, with one being of legal age to enter a contract. The social contract is a made-up concept... Strange, though, I usually only hear mention of it FROM Obamacons.
What monopoly are we talking about? If we're talking about health care, the cost monopoloy is always $WHATEVER_YOUR_EMPLOYER_GETS_YOU. It's pretty much never cheaper than that.
Why the hell would I need permission to identify someone? Since when is it your right to deny me information about my world? If you don't want to be known, stay hidden in your shadows. When you stand in front of me, I have a right to research you however I feel.
You crossed the line at burning strength. To simultaneously claim control of every photo that bounces off your body, but then hypocritically want to control every photo that goes into someone elses.... Get a hold of yourself, man. Your anger is cute, and I hope you're joking.
Sounds like you should wear a mask, otherwise you're doing nothing to stop the govt from photographing you, and just bitching at the targets (people) that are small enough (smaller than a government), to pick on.
Personally I think that we have a right to privacy, but that right ends when it comes to you telling someone not to do something in public. You can live your own life in your own space, but you don't own the photons of light that bounce off of you, or the ability to capture that. You do own what you project, so I support you being able to wear a mask.
I'm actually quite pissed off at anti-mask laws for precisely that reason. I feel most people have not considered this angle. I'm a big "don't tell me what to do and I won't tell you what to do" person.
My gmail account begs to differ. I get 3 in my inbox per week, max. That's not a problem anymore, like with 99/100 emails being spam in the 1990s. It's a slight nuisance. And I'm a total fucking slut about where where I post my email address ( clintjcl@gmail.com ).
I object to 7. What is religion's place to tell me and my wife we can only fuck each other? Am I going to hell for watching her get it on with other chicks?
Wrong. It would be less convincing. That you don't like his strong language doesn't negate the fact that saying that is stronger than not saying that. You just have a different sense of tact.

That's funny, I just played a flac with winamp an hour ago.

By that logic, stocks are vulnerable to journalistic manipulation, therefore stocks are bad.

Be that as it may, there's not been a time when investing in bitcoin wouldn't beat the stock market over the course of any given 2 year peroid.
I am not confusing anything for anything. I was talking about what I was talking about.

Yay! I could be completely free only if I was homeless and unemployed! USA! USA! USA!

I MEANT PHOTON. Not photo. damnit.
PHOTON goddamnit, I meant "photon" not "photo". Fucking fuck that fucked my comment up.

I don't usually take the word "few" to mean "30,000". You must have either a poor grasp on english, or bitcoin.
If it's already marked up, then you're not paying because of your action. It was already marked up. I get 1% back. You get 0% back with cash.
He didn't answer. You win.

I don't consider them nutcases.
Way too far? Because making one politician suffer is somehow worse than making everyone who ever becomes elderly suffer?
Being so paranoid as to not use science to enhance your life is far stupider.
Sounds like google voice for fools who don't know google voice is free.
