In a real market, no matter how dysfunctional, people want to make money - so stuff like this causes the value of whatever is being traded to go down.
But the biggest bitcoin enthusiasts are just a little religious, so they'll go frantically buying bitcoins to raise the value to prove this isn't really a big deal.
Almost like it's all a scam trying to pretend that TANSTAAFL doesn't apply and that you can really generate wealth with only speculation and no production.
Since I'm entertaining myself with conspiracy theories today, here's one I just completely made up: what if government funds illicit operations by just changing a figure in a bank database to give itself more money to spend? Like QE (i.e. that money-printing thing everyone hates), but only for itself, and on a smaller scale.
You won't notice that none of them are still around
I see your DISINFORMATION double negative and your FALSE FLAG.
Regard ----> I am in fact STILL AROUND therefore (& everyone agrees with me who isnt already PROGRAMMED) those who know the TRUTH are still around.
I mock nobody these are POWERFUL MASTERS and you have to always sleep with 1 eye (EYE) %%%% OPEN. i feel only sorrow heartache despair and blueballs for Pikoro (844299) who is clearly a victim to the HARD DRIVE FALSE FLAG.
Maybe it's a CONSPIRACY in which they've invested ALL their manufacturing PRECISION into guaranteeing that the drives will fail precisely THREE DAYS after WARRANTY.
Consider this! You register for warranty, and you enter the purchase date, right? What if... WHAT IF... some FIRMWARE CODES in the drive pick up this transaction and STORE THE INFORMATION IN FLASH. Then then starting the day after warranty expiry the drive STARTS TO DO BAD THINGS f.e. not park properly or run just a little too slowly or maybe even there's like a secret drop of DESTRUCTION SAUCE which is released onto the platters at this time.
Anyway you see where I'm getting here? REPTILE OVERLORDS are conspiring with 9/11 truthers (yeah they're in on it! it's all a false flag operation) to destroy hard drives.
I went to a £30,000/year school (on scholarship, so it actually cost my parents £0/year).
Yet all our textbooks were hand-me-downs from the previous year.
This was brilliant, really. The best books were bought exactly once, kept as long as they are relevant (which at high school level for e.g. mathematics and physics is for decades, as the fundamentals of the subjects don't change) and everyone scrawled lightly in them, meaning you had previous students' thoughts to guide you (it's way easier to annotate real paper than an e-book). It was rather a good lesson in the value of tried-and-tested over fashion, but then you can't really get more conservative than an English public school.
Your observation is that people have always been calling politicians fuckwits, and your conclusion is that people have always been wrong.
I suggest that people have always been right.
It's in the nature of the position: if one must want power to gain power, then only those who want power will be in power. Apart from the very rare altruist - Aneurin Bevan was probably one of the last such politicians in the UK - it is a case of give me sortition or give me fuckwits.
My ex was from a Witness family. So much sensible combined with so much fuckery. If they took out the religious part, they'd really have something going.
Agreed. Too much alcohol just makes me feel dizzy, and a little sick. I can see how this numbness could be exploited to "escape" reality, but I neither need nor want a chemical to escape anything. If I want to have fun, I'll do it with all my wits about me.

No, I think a few major players can. $4 billion isn't a lot of money.
So, like a prepaid single usage Visa/Mastercard number? Or cash in an envelope?
C++ wasn't that good.
True, but now it's even worse.
For every new good thing about C++, there are a dozen new gotchas.
Pissed that your Windows Phone clone of Visual Studio isn't too usable, eh?
Byzantine, baroque and spaghetti-like? Maybe Bill's a disciple of His Noodliness The Flying Spaghetti Monster?
Can we go back to trying to target for time+space efficiency rather than buzzwords?
What is an ephemeral unit of transaction? Apart from one that has a habit of going missing.
Indeed. Most people assume that knowing stuff is sufficient for being able to teach it. Utterly wrong, unfortunately.
For many years they did give away promotional bird scarers and tea coasters, but I don't think they ever branched out to fishing equipment.
For those not curious, here's a video of cats knocking shit over.

chemtrails don't exist, they're just soul shadows of the RUSSIAN WOODPECKER. now that was some hardcore shit.
See? There's a rational explanation for everything.
SHUT UP MAN SHUT UP you mentioned Snowden's ex-girlfriend we're all fucked now DONT YOU SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE

And this whole study.
Is.

Yeah.
His consclusion was that people are wrong ("pointless", "not clever", etc.) to call politicians fuckwits.
But I think that's the central problem: politicians are intrinsically fuckwits. It's an inherent feature of the system.

I find it odd that some people can be excited about anything once they have some awareness of the harmful results of their work.
I guess you can't become a brilliant specialist without blocking most factors from your thoughts.
"That's not my department," says Wernher von Braun.
Yeah, Windows 3.51 was better than XP in this respect.
Not being able to write a non-crashing display driver is the real issue, though.

Putting bible verses in your signature isn't helping your case.
