Hy guys, I posted this at the Rand Paul Coin forum which is basically you guys. I'm trying to help explain what just happened with the Airdrop that was gifted to you. First, let me start off by admitting that I'm a huuuge fan of your community.
I'm no dev, and I have no clue who the devs of this new Rand Paul Coin are. I only know that the devs of the coin being copied are magicians. But for all I know, the guy doing the snapshot here could very well be the trader who dumped the 13,000 RPC and is half way to Dairy Queen by now. I have no clue if he has the brains or balls necessary to carry out this awesome idea. I'm gambling on the fact that this idea is so good (BitShares sharedrop to Ron Paul Coin/Bitcoin/Dogecoin), that if he does not do it then some other crypto nerd will. And whoever pulls it off will be a hero. I don't know or care who that is, all I know is that it ain't me. I'm just the film crew here. The devs and community organizers are the stars of this show. So buy a ticket, or sit silently and watch, but its starting to get real. Last month there were zero BitShares clones, now there are several. Why? One word:
Litecoin
I took the hit on the RPC share price and now I can only hope that our dev incorporates the incredible features of BitShares into your pro-Libertarian format.
I don’t care about the share price, I just want to watch the next episode on BTSTV:
Deep voice: “A new Ron Paul Coin is born. A coin that is far more powerful than Bitcoin itself. A coin that will turn the world upside down and be responsible for electing the first Third Party American President since the Taylor administration almost 200 yrs ago.”
Not that your current Ron Paul Coin is not capable of positive change. It’s just that once you see what this upgrade is capable of, then I don’t think that you will be driving around your old RPC very often. Your upgraded RPC can not only perform all the functions of your current RPC, but it can utilize the power of Satoshi’s blockchain invention to orchestrate a 100% incorruptible vote:
Don’t you wonder what the
real tally of yesterday’s vote was?
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-11-30/swiss-gold-referendum-fails-78-vote-against-protecting-countrys-wealthOr what was the
real score of this old vote?
http://terrifictop10.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/election-of-2000.jpgImagine if the Florida voting apparatus was as efficient and secure as Bitcoin.
And of course, imagine how many votes did this guy
actually get when he ran for president:
http://marketsanity.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/audit-the-fed.jpgSo you see; your new and improved (infused with BitShares Vote) Ron Paul Coin (Ron Paul Money/Rand Paul Coin) now has much more capability than your old Ron Paul Coin. It also has more features than Bitcoin and the clones.
Can you vote on who you want to mine your coins if you own Bitcoins or Ron Paul Coins? Do you know how many different people are successfully mining
your coin? Do you think that Bitcoin owners would vote for only 2 or 4 centralized miners?
Well, by owning Bitcoin, and not Rand Paul Coin, they basically are.
Do you know what it means to "vote with your dollar"?
If you buy your girlfriend Avon makeup, then you directly caused this:

http://www.hippyshopper.com/BUAV%20Approved%20Leaping%20Bunny%20Logo.jpgThen you are not a bunny blinder.
That is basic economics.
The advanced economics lesson is this:
If you buy bitcoins, then you are supporting this dude's quest to warm the planet:
http://a-dc.org/blog/MegaBitPowerCarlson.jpgWhere, if you had bought Ron Paul Money (Rand Paul Coin), then you support miners who have similar interests to you. They might be environmentalists, political activists, scientists, marketers, poacher poachers, whatever. The bottom line is that you determine who lives and dies because you are already filthy rich on the global environmental scale.
Who will the Ron Paul community kill. Whom will they support. I can't wait to find out in the next episode of Bitcoin 2.0. We already know the ending of the prior episode (Bitcoin 1.0) = The bitcoin owners supported 4 miners who completely centralized the mining which spawned Ripple (the completely centralized version of Ron Paul Money (Rand Paul Coin) with less features).
In the next episode, I picture the Ron Paul Coin community voting for at least 3 miners because historically, you have displayed an active appreciation of tri-decentralized power in American Politics). Ron Paul Money (Rand Paul Coin) allows its owners to vote on who gets to mine new Ron Paul Money (Rands). And that is just the tip.
Do you think that the Ron Paul community would support blockchain based voting for Political offices such as the POTUS?
Me too, so I sure hope that our dev does his deed. But if he doesn’t, I won’t sweat it because I have seen how the Ron Paul Coin community handles abandonment (that required Ron Paul Wallet 2.0 to save the day). Your refusal to take it up d’ass quietly is exactly why I bought into your community (figuratively speaking, not another Borat reference).
The Ron Paul Coin community persists under adversity, and if our new dev deviates from his self-proclaimed “soul purpose in life,” then so be it. I know that the Ron Paul community will persist, and continue striving to survive. You guys kept a weak little bitcoin baby clone alive in Zombieland!
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/necronomicon-thread-altcoins-which-are-dead-588413Meaning: You guys kept your wallet alive and functioning while ZombieCoin, GoldCoin, DodoCoin, KarpelesCoin, Scamcoin, SiliconValleyCoin, Supercoin, SlothCoin, Teslacoin, Vampirecoin, UFOcoin, WikiCoin, Alphacoin, PatriotCoin, and even American Coin succumbed to the mind numbing mainstream Bitcoin community.
Why would anybody attempt to preserve their wealth in BBQ coin or other Junkcoins? They are just bitcoin clones with only a couple successful miners.
Why would anybody attempt to preserve their wealth in Feathercoin, Maxcoin, Dogecoin or Ron Paul Coin? They are just simple bitcoin clones too. The answer is because those communities still have people that are there for a purpose other than to simply speculate and try to get rich quick. These communities are not full of mainstream people. They represent a specific unified group of people who share the same values. You want a coin backed by gold? You got it.
You want a coin backed by silver?
Done.
What else do you want?
Here is a recent quote from the Rand man himself: “I was looking more at it until that recent thing. And actually my theory, if I were setting it up, I’d make it exchangeable for stock. And then it’d have real value. And I’d have it pegged, and I’d have a basket of 10 big retailers. Because I read [Marc] Andreessen’s article a couple months ago. What fascinated me about it was those 2 to 3% margins. If you multiply that out for all of Wal-Mart (WMT) and they don’t have to use Visa anymore, I’m guessing the people who have to be worried here are Visa (V) and Mastercard (MA). I think it would work, but I think, because I’m sort of a believer in currency having value, if you’re going to create a currency, have it backed up,”.
Done Rand man, now what are you going to do next? BTSTV viewers are anxiously awaiting that answer?!
The genie is out of the bottle and granting wishes for those who ask.
So you might as well dream big. Here is what one of the pages in your new wallet looks like when you trade Ron Paul Assets (like Gold or stocks) within the client itself! (you don't have to go to MtGox or Poloniex or MintPal to trust them with your crypto trades ever again)
https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbitshares.org%2FMarketScreenShot.png&t=546&c=Mow2Tx5VGzIMYgSo now you guys are cooking with Bitcoin 2.0 technilogy, and the world will never look the same because you can now see the big picture:
Bitcoin is for the average Joe (majority)
Ripple is for the “Type A” personalities who were using bitcoin so much that they started Bitcoin 2.0 with a completely centralized blockchain. They simply looked at the bitcoin mining centralization trend and extrapolated it to its logical conclusion: BigBrotherCoin.
NXT is for the Trekkies who are smarter than the average Bitcoiner because they got an “A” on their Bitcoin 2.0 test and are not cool supporting BigBrotherCoin
BitShare savants are already working on Bitcoin 3.0, but never really cared to tell anyone last year when they started their Bitcoin 2.0 project. They care not for marketing because they are autistic geniuses who can name every star in the universe in the order in which it was formed, but can’t remember to zip up after hitting the can. These guys are planning on solving the “free energy” problem after they complete the BitShares project (SchlonGoin or something, the name escapes me).
Dogecoins are for the hippies and hipsters in the Occupy Wall St photo I posted earlier.
Counterparty is for the martyr extremists whom obviously can’t be present when the time comes for the Libertarian fight for freedom.
http://images.alarabiya.net/6e/e8/640x392_20170_189638.jpg Ron Paul Coins are for the “Occupy Washington crowd (we will not be distracted by bread and circuses, and above all we know where to hold our protest)”
Frankly, I like filming your crowd the best, because the BitShares guys are shy, and afraid of openly supporting a third party politician. You see, their ultimate goal is to be BitCoin 2.0 (average Joe’s Bitcoin 2.0 solution).
Now there are 2 ways to attempt to get the Average Joe using BitShares.
Method 1. Teach them – This is what the Bitcoin community has chosen to try to do
Method 2. Give them (Bitcoin and Dogecoin kids) BitShares – This is what you just did (or what our Ron Paul $ dev says he is going to try to do).
The Ron Paul Coin community is actually well positioned to utilize the immense power of Bitcoin 2.0 disruptively. Bitcoin Average Joe could care less about creating social change, or at least the radical type of change that Ron Paul envisions (Libertarian President? waaaat???). But if the Bitcoin Average Joe cared more, and got behind BitShares (in the form of Ron Paul $), then your community would now be in control of the most powerful crypto death ray in the world! Because the Average Joes are powerful when united, and super cool when united under Libertarianism.
BitCoin 1.0 disrupted Western Union and money transmitters.
Ron Paul Money is going to disrupt the entire primitive trading and security paradigm, and it has the potential to disrupt our political system even more. And what better communities’ hands to place this new-fangled death ray gizmo into than yours.
No, BTSTV is not a dev. We’re not even in tech support here. We’re in sales. We are the ones who are going to show you how to operate this nuclear device. We did not create the operations manual. We just had to memorize it so that now we can teach you how to use it, and what you can use it for. We are going to film you turning it on and taking it for the first spin. The footage is going to be epic. We just want some hits:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMhdksPFhCMYou just purchased our rocket ship, and I’m just showing you the features like hot and cold showers, 17 subwoofer surround sound (BitShares Music), auto-lock security (cold wallets), identity cloaking (TITAN), hyper-drive, etc (10 sec block times).
I heard that Bitcoin was going to inspire a revolution. And history has proven that revolutions only occur when people demand liberty. So I came here to the land of the Libertarians with cameras rolling and waiting for it. Well it seems that contrary to popular belief, the revolution will indeed be televised, here at the Ron Paul Community on BTSTV.
“Aynnnnnnnnd ACTION!”
