what if they kidnap Patrick and make a cyborg clone doppleganger of him and send him back to the foundation to infect the blockchain with a hi-tech Area-51 alien programmed block destroyer?  Shocked Shocked Shocked

The technology to clone people was located in DUMBs (deep underground military bases) which were fortunately destroyed by benevolent ETs during 2011-2012.
So they can't do that anymore.

best way to keep these people supporting BTC is to.. get them into their own pockets. then they'll have every incentive to keep the training going. with all the under the table deals that politicians do, i wouldnt' be surprised if many of them have BTC.. but then again they are old, square-ish white dudes..

or better givethem each a "USB blockerupter" as gift Cheesy

Good luck guys!

It's great to know it's going to be approached with level-headedness.

Level-headedness?  In the US Senate?  C'mon!

But yes, good luck!

*wow look*-> even the FED doesn't seem shaken!!!--vvv--

"
Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, is also weighing in on the hearing, saying that it has no plans to regulate the currency.
“Although the Federal Reserve generally monitors developments in virtual currencies and other payments system innovations, it does not necessarily have authority to directly supervise or regulate these innovations or the entities that provide them to the market,” Bernanke wrote in a letter to the committee. "



= imo = >> *this is huge!!!  _ _=//^   Cool



"...does not necessarily have authority to...regulate these innovations..."

Nice one, Bernanke.  Try, doesn't have the ability.

I disagree.  It would be a vastly different game at that point.  Namely a totalitarian police state.  The USSR was crumbling militarily and there was basically no hope.  The U.S. is at a high point and I don't think the leadership, or at least certain of it, has any intention of giving up the goal of dominating the current century since there is a reasonable possibility that it could be pulled off.
Your description about the current state of the US is exactly what everybody was saying about the USSR near the end too.

It seems to me that "crumbling" is an apt description of a military that loses more soldiers to suicide than enemy action.

"Crumbling" also describes the morale of government employees and public confidence in general. I mean, they can't even get a simple website right.
