Which Government, can you be more specific?

I don't feel you put much thought into this topic tbh.

I'm actually basing this off what Bill Gates said yesterday on Fox Business News. He did not specify a government, but I'm assuming it doesn't matter, they all behave the same way. Regulating Bitcoin exchanges for the purpose of intercepting the free market, bogging it down, and thus making all the innovations of Bitcoin to be rendered no longer innovative. Sort of a "pick your poison" fiat or bitcoin, it will end up being the same thing.

I watched the video a few times (both high and sober) and each time, I got the EXACT opposite out of everything Gates said. And all i got out of those older codgers was a bunch of ignorance. I dunno man. Different Strokes.

I guess that's our difference. I only watched it sober.

Damn. You're right. Guess I'll sell now... or maybe I'll just check that ignore button. Grin

Actually you gave me an idea. I shall try to ignore all jr and sr members and most of hero members too. All the donators and VIPs go on ignore for sure and not being unignored under any circumstances, maybe with one or two exceptions.

Then maybe unignore a few if they are quoted saying something worthwhile. Who knows, it could make this board at least resemble what it was a few years back. Would it work?

No; I tried. You still end up seeing people you don't want to see in quotes anyway, and I found I spent way too much valuable time actually clicking ignore. So I just let my brain click the button.

That always ends up being the most popular response to the truth. Get mad at whoever tells it. Good one.

sounds like you're the one getting mad; at Bitcoin's success.

What would I stand to gain from that attitude? Who actually is angry at Bitcoins success unless you are reliant on a corrupt tax system where you benefit? Since I am not, I have nothing to be mad at about Bitcoin succeeding. Problem is, it has not succeeded and is in a spot where I feel it is impossible for it to succeed, so I don't know what the fuck you're going on about.

I did a quick check on your previous posts, half of them are swear words/insulting someone or something.
Clearly you are serious business.

...aaaand done :3

Ad hominem, and clearly you want people ignore me because my opinion doesn't compel people to buy Bitcoins. lol, so obvious. I would follow suit and ignore you as well, but there's a difference between you and I. You're lame, I'm not.

You would be reading the phrase many times "this user currently ignored"

lol i guess that is better material.

If OP cared to look outside his little thought-box, in this here VERY SUB-FORUM, there are EVEN MORE well thought-out arguments than his as to how government regulation could HELP Bitcoin (the CFTC thread in particular...)

Puff puff, you'd better pass for good on that stuff dude. Sometimes it makes you think you're thinking, but really you're not.

Oh shit, why has no one think of this. Thank you and time to sell. I would send you a generous bitcoin tip but Im sure you do not want it since its crashing anyway.

More predictable sarcasm which is totally off point. No wonder Bitcoin hasn't crashed yet. Good job.

Well, Bitcoin had a good run. Ultimately, big government stands in the way of self-governance and that comes in the form of regulating ingenuity to death. The majority of people are indoctrinated and cannot see the value in this evolved payment system.

Who can disagree? Bitcoin is fucked.
