No it isn't banned. in China, if something is banned, they will say its banned. They said they don't believe its important enough to warrant being classified as a currency. Therefore citizens (who have wealth to spare ie. 1%) can move yuan in and out but there are no protections from its volatility. To be brief, to the chinese govt its the functional equavilent of inworld gaming gold or Lindens or any money used for gaming only.
The US dollar is backed by the full faith and credit of the US government. Bitcoin is backed by absolutely no one.
Bitcoin is backed by the full faith and credit of those who mine it, trade it and use it. I have more faith in computer cycles than I do in the US govt. We are afloat because of we hold the world's reserve currency.
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/reservecurrency.asp
Reserve currency: A foreign currency held by central banks and other major financial institutions as a means to pay off international debt obligations, or to influence their domestic exchange rate. A large percentage of commodities, such as gold and oil, are usually priced in the reserve currency, causing other countries to hold this currency to pay for these goods. Holding currency reserves, therefore, minimizes exchange rate risk, as the purchasing nation will not have to exchange their currency for the current reserve currency in order to make the purchase.
Investopedia explains 'Reserve Currency'
In 2011, the U.S. dollar was the primary reserve currency used by other countries. As a result, foreign nations closely monitored the monetary policy of the United States in order to ensure that the value of their reserves is not adversely affected by inflation.
You still don't understand that money can't be majicked out of thin air and be worth something?
The only thing keeping it afloat is other people believing the same fairy story.
And you still don't understand that money being pulled from thin air has been montary policy since the start of the 20th century.
Wikipedia: Fiat money has been defined variously as:
any money declared by a government to be legal tender.[1]
state-issued money which is neither convertible by law to any other thing, nor fixed in value in terms of any objective standard.[2]
money without intrinsic value.[3][4]
The term derives from the Latin fiat ("let it be done", "it shall be").[5]
While gold- or silver-backed representative money entails the legal requirement that the bank of issue redeem it in fixed weights of gold or silver, fiat money's value is unrelated to the value of any physical quantity. Even a coin containing valuable metal may be considered fiat currency if its face value is higher than its market value as metal.
The Nixon Shock of 1971 ended the direct convertibility of the United States dollar to gold. Since then, all reserve currencies have been fiat currencies, including the U.S. dollar and the Euro.
Definition of 'Fiat Money':
Currency that a government has declared to be legal tender, but is not backed by a physical commodity. The value of fiat money is derived from the relationship between supply and demand rather than the value of the material that the money is made of. Historically, most currencies were based on physical commodities such as gold or silver, but fiat money is based solely on faith. Fiat is the Latin word for "it shall be".
And so you aren't thinking my post is redundant, here is a an article from Forbes explaining how fiat currencies work, and why money is fiat and the only different is if its backed by something or not. http://www.forbes.com/sites/pascalemmanuelgobry/2013/01/08/all-money-is-fiat-mone
So yes, you CAN pull money from nothing.
Um thats all fiction. No, radioactive metal looks like normal metal, feels like normal metal and smells like normal metal. It simply kills you in 48 hrs. Violently with lots of hair loss and vomiting blood.
You miss the point. The act of stealing it and being too stupid to know is why they deserve death. Quit being are squeamish, this society will collapse and the majority will die as horribly as those robbers did. And they will only have themselves to blame. We are no better than Atlantis, Egypt, Babylon, Greece, or Rome.
Snowden has proof that Obama is a Kenyan royal Prince, that the illumanti exists and who is an actual part of it, How (/11 actually happened, where the 12 suitcase nukes are. SMH
actually I believe him because he has no agenda otherwise he wouldn't have posted it. You are aware that after 50 yrs the whole assassination is still sealed? Why? because it can still do damage to American interests. My guess is CIA helped him at LBJ request.
Phone is rising, RT is flat and OS is rising (due to computer replacements) so why would they destroy one of the 2 rising ones to save the flat one? Not even they are that insane.
Having worked on varying Office products from 97 up, I actually like the ribbon. In Office. It is a good idea. The problem is lack of training on that. As for dragging it into Explorer, no. That wasn't really a smart idea. Oh and negative productivity is still productivity!
So when are they slashing the surfaces to $100. I'll buy one then.
Don't forget the alternate ending of Breaking Bad. In the Breaking Bad alternate ending video, star Bryan Cranston as wakes up in bed next to former Malcom in the Middle co-star Jane Kaczmarek. Cranston, who played Hal on the show, tells wife Lois (who was played by Kaczmarek) that he had a terrible nightmare. He says he dreamed he was a drug dealer who cooked meth and killed people.
“I told you not to eat those deep-fried Twinkies,” Lois says. Hal tells her he dreamed he was married to a beautiful, tall blond and she tells him to “keep dreaming!” Hal seems very distraught about his ‘nightmare’ and Lois says, “You grow a beard and suddenly you think you’re Osama bin Laden.”
At the end of the video, Hal tries to make a move on Lois like Walter White did on Anna Gunn’s character Skyler White on Breaking Bad. Louis tells Hal to stop it because she’s trying to sleep. He turns out the light and tells her “Goodnight Skyler.” Oh, and Walter White’s Heisenberg hat is notably slung on the seat of a chair in the bedroom throughout all this.
Yes as a matter of fact I do believe that is exactly what happened. She saw the darkest thing and it was Eccleson's thoughts and memories on the Time War and that it involved the moment. So That's what we saw. I will stand by the assertion that she changed the Doctor's world line, not him.
they could have done what I did. Watched it Live via a BBC1 live stream.
Re:Another poorly-thought out Slashdot story title

Happy 50th Doctor Who
·
· Score: 1
I know, this title is completely baffling. Happy 50th Doctor Who... what? Doctor Who Performed A Heart Surgery? Doctor Who Won A Pie Eating Contest? It's as if the title is about something intentionally ambiguous, leaving one forever asking "Doctor Who...?" without clear resolution.
This is your resolution: (the show is Doctor Who, so if Happy 50th 'Doctor Who' baffles you, please don't mind the gap any more.You are beyond hope)
"On the fields of Trenzalore, at the fall of the eleventh, when no living creature can speak falsely or fail to answer, a Question will be asked, a question that must never, ever be answered." The Question is Doctor Who?
Um, a the daleks are dumb. As seen on repeated showings prior to this they would do exactly that, keep shooting. You making an assumption based on flawed evidence.
2. The daleks on the surface are dead as the planet was under severe bombardment. Why would you leave troops on the ground if you are going the bombard the planet.
3. Canon wasn't broke nor was there a retcon. WE all assumed that The Doctor destroyed his own race. However, during the series we actually have very little of this because its a topic he refuses to discuss. It isn't until Tennent and the Master that we get any real info. The master breaks the time locks. Other asides but thats it.
we knew he hid it from himself but we believed that he had did something that triggers a MAD scenario. It turns out that he was so disgusted, he was willing to use the Moment to wipe out everyone. I however believe the Moment knew he didn't have the dark heart to commit genocide, so using the only companion he every truly loved, it showed a better way. It even used Clara to allow that to happen. Who else but the one person who has seen and been seen by every incarnation who had success. In my opinon being frozen in time is still a form of destruction. It simply fulfilled the Doctor's moral code and revealed something he has hid from himself. He didn't kill his people.
Finally, he's alien so I am all for less human motivations. At times he is entirely too human.
I disagree. The time war needed to be explained. We finally know when and some what. Now the Doctor's name and origins of the Gallafreyans etc that is Mythos.
And exactly what is wrong with preventing the death of your people (including 2.7 billion children) when discovering a better way while still destroying the enemy? Also it seems to be forgotten that it was the Moment who revealed the alternate future to 'War Doctor' allowing him to not, this would have effectively elemenated him from the timelines so another solution was found.
Doctor Who is the Ultimate example of using the canon to support the ideas presented while not destroying them either. Also, Trenselor he's tomb was there. Great intellegence...Clara seeing every single incarnation of the Doctor and all his successes across his entire life line.
You are pissed because Moffet is bending old canon that is rarely watched now to suit new audiences without breaking it.
Oh and the time locks were broken by the master during Tennet's doctor so he could have gone regardless.
