You should bone-up on some evolutionary biology. Society isn't exactly something that humans came up with...but I am glad that you have single-handedly outsmarted 11 billion years of molecular evolution and nigh-on seven billion people. Keep shouting troll every time someone disagrees...eventually, the worlds governments will dissolve and we will all roll around in the utopian grass of your mind's eye.

ok I'm not totally behind Corner his idea to privately finance everything, would be a little bit a big hassle, if everybody needs to maintain his own little piece of road before his house and I think it would be nice to get it in concrete and my neigbour thinks dirt is much better and his neighbour would like to use bricks, nah nice roads we would have.

Taxes are necessary, but I should have the choice where my money goes to, at this point my money goes to things like various beliefs I don't support, people who don't want to work (I don't care to give you like 3 months wage if you are unemployed but don't tell me you can't find a job within 15years), etc. and the things I find important like science and good roads, just don't get enough funds. So yeah at the moment I drive over the border Holland-Belgium and remember the roads I've driven and the thing my car bumps over at that moment I got a little bit the feeling I was robbed. I give away 50% of my wage for good roads and what do I get? An unemployed driving the same car as me flashing his lights because he got to be in time at the moskee, church,... whatever meetingplace comes into your mind to tell each other fairytales. No, at the moment I fill in my tax form I want to choose where the money will be used for. Everybody can just fill in where the money goes to and those funds should be used for what you filled in. If you want to give it to the firedepartment so it will be, if I want to give it to medical healthcare so it will be, that's in my opinion the only way you can get a fair taxsystem.

You could even go further and let the people vote on witch company can do the job, witch building constructor to choose, witch hospitals, witch firedepartments, and so on
But some people saying, here with your money and we will take care of it, is not the way to do it imho.

I resent your condescending, ignorant reply and all that goes with it. Begone, troll, off you go to another forum. The tinfoil hat is yours and yours alone.

I advocate a peaceful transition from the current system to a system based on cryptocurrencies rather than cash transactions.

We have allowed ourselves to become dependent on the political system and thus on evil itself. Obviously, if we would lower the tax rate overnight, there would be massive negative consequences. Hence, that's not the way to go about it. But if every individual increasingly starts trading in BTC rather than USD, we will slowly be able to reach new ground. Bit by bit, bitcoin by bitcoin we will exchange an involuntary system for a voluntary one.

Eventually, the BTC system will be valued so highly, work so efficiently and be worth so much that it will not be much of an effort to buy out the public infrastructure. There is in fact nothing stopping multinational corporations from maintaining infrastructure, they have shown in the past that they can administer very complex systems, i. e. there is nothing that the public sector can do that the private sector cannot, rather the contrary.

I meant that in a more metaphorical, "Do the mods actually care, and was what I said actually offensive?" way. I have said much worse on many a forum. In my humble opinion, spewing ignorant garbage about taxation being theft and privatizing all public works is more damaging to the Bitcoin society than me calling someone retarded...but hey, to each his own; Keep your tinfoil hat on straight, soldier.

Back, was getting popcorn, want some?

Bottom-right, "Report to moderators"

Where is that panic button?

So you propose making the 'gap' between the haves and the have-nots into a wall. No ambulance is coming to help you...because you are poor. Your house is burning to the ground...because you're poor. Your children will be doomed to a life of abject squalor because you are so busy scraping and stealing to feed them that you have no time to educate them, that is, if they don't die of pertussis or rubella, because there is no vaccination program or standards without taxes.

I do not accept your tone and language and I have reported you to the moderators.

No we don't. We have been born into a corrupt system so we don't see the obvious elephant in the room. The politicians argument is, just like yours, that we need taxes to sustain this and that, to provide welfare for poor people etc. But poor people are often poor because of taxation. Strong and healthy people tend to find good jobs and they make enough money not to be bothered by taxation. If you have reached or exceed the average US salary of 50000 USD you're fairly well off and the system benefits you. You have breached the surface so to speak.

However, for the weak, sick and feeble minded the situation is different. They may not have the power to reach the surface and will thus be held back perpetually by an ever increasing tax rate.

You do realize than when the first settlers colonized the West, the taxation rates were negligible? We had all this land to ourselves and we screwed it. Little by little, year by year, we let the politicians raise the taxes. Had we kept on this way for much longer we would no longer be the land of the brave and the free but just another Europe or China.

Fortunately, Bitcoins were invented before we reached that level of taxation. We can now build a new parallel system which will eventually buy out the old one, hopefully in a relatively peaceful transition, just like the first 15 years since internet got big have been characterized by a remarkably smooth transition.

Yes, we need roads, we need fire fighters and some of that stuff. However, it should all be financed privately. Now, thus far the private sector has been too weakened (because of extortionate taxation) to mantle the responsibility for the infrastructure but with the advent of the BTC we will eventually see private roads, private fire fighting teams and so on only.

Because it lays in man's faith to become truly individual and only when we are truly individual are we able to fully cooperate with others.

So roadways, public utilities, police, fire service, military...essentially ALL infrastructure should all just materialize out of thin air...brilliant. We need to get you to chair the economics department at Harvard.




Seriously dude, you are retarded. No one likes taxes, but to be naive and ignorant enough not to understand their necessity makes me think you are 13 and in your parents' basement.

Ahahaha...virtual boy...

There you have it : ) Someone who catches my drift. There's sick money to be made here and a new world to be built. Let's start anew.

 I'm not sure I follow. We will always need taxation, unless you can provide alternate means to maintain roads, schools and... everything. Of course corruption exists, and tax could be lower if people were not people, but are you suggesting no taxes?

 Whats your magical alternative suggestion?, if Iv read your right

Just sell some to pay the usual bills, buy whatever you can with bitcoins and save the rest.

Actually I wouldn't think twice if my boss would give me the choice, euro's or bitcoins.

They will thrive dude. Everyone needs a change of system, even parts of the established banking system are looking at this now.

Many of us have sensed that the system we live in is corrupt but it's been difficult to do anything about it. The core problem is taxation. Taxation is theft and as every transaction is taxed, we loose money in each and every transaction.

You cannot and should not build a distribution system of stolen goods. Unfortunately that's what the politicians have been trying to do for so long. Distributing stolen goods (money taken from the people through taxation) only benefits parts of society and only temporarily. The net effect is always negative since the cash were stolen in the first place.

We need to replace this system, which essentially builds on theft and has its roots in feudalism and tyranny with something new. BTC is that very new, shiny thing that will rock our world.

Well there are heaps of small businesses starting up around the bitcoin currency. Businesses need admins and here I am. Mining is just one part of the coin, pun intended : )

Most of that spike happened because of the media coverage and everyone finding out how much profit there was. Then you had just a huge influx of people dog piling in thinking they'd make a ton of money. Now that the difficulty is up to the point where it's making people second guess whether to stay in the game or buy more hardware, I'd say from here on will be a good indication of whether or not bitcoins will thrive.

I actually think the world is sort of waking up and realizing it's missing out on Bitcoins right now, it's like an earthquake. You cannot be enthusiastic enough about this thing. Scepticism is natural but in this case I make an exception - quit your day jobs fellas. This is the biggest thing not only in my lifetime but perhaps in the history of mankind. No longer will the state control and terrorize its citizens.

You'd need 12.5 Ghash/sec to pay someone 1 Bitcoin per hour, for an 8 hour day... and that's at the current difficulty as well as exchange rate.

Also, you're not counting hardware investment, and electricty requirements to get to that 12.5 GHash/sec... that's almost 42 5830's if you were wondering...
