    ... what's the point of using Bitcoin?

    You answer that with the next sentence:

    You can run a perfectly functional digital economy with yen or any other real currency.

    No.

    The legalization leads to regulation and documentation.

    Anonymity is out the window.

  4. Why the simple hell is this modded down?

    It's inherently obvious.

    As an example, insurance does not replace goddam seat belts.

    This.

    I worked for a firm as the only IT guy.

    When our servers needed anything, I called a local company I trusted at $110/hr.

    The managing partner went through the roof and asked me what the hell he hired me for.

    I told him, you hired me to do all the stuff you can't do, and I hire people to do the stuff I can't do.

    I told him he could send me to school for certification and then I'd leave his ass immediately for a better job.

    He understood. I worked for him for 18 years.

    Good boss.

    I agree.

    When "family values" is the topic, I get very distrustful of the source.

    Duggars, Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker, Alabama's Robert Bentley, ... and many others.

    Family values is a unicorn concept.

    Nitpicking is all the reach you have?

    Taxpayers don't make profits.

    If they did, the national debt wouldn't be an issue, right?

    Your logic is tiresomely old or sarcastically humorous.

    In either case, it fails.

    I litigated tobacco.

    It went like this:

    Tobacco scientists long ago: Tobacco kills
    Big Tobacco: Jobs
    Scientists: Tobacco kills

    We still have tobacco because: jobs.

    All science denial in the USA is because: jobs.

    The USA, as a group of citizens, is dunber than a box of rocks.

    Recall that they had Waxahachie and lost the opportunity to be the Cern and find the Higgs first.

    Texas would have been a major center for the world's greatest talents and would have gained all the logistical support business that comes with it.

    Instead, we will get the Young Earth theory, climate change denial, and increasing poverty, crime, and drug overdoses.

    I'm not worried at all about the decline of American science.

    America is off the rails, driven insane by greed.

    Like you said, scientists don't need no steenkin' country.

    Good science withstands close scrutiny and is dam hard to deny.
