World needs good balance

Bad analogy maybe, but we are the invisible higher lifeform that decides the life and death of bacteria.
It also made me think about the opening scene of the Prometheus movie; where a celluar poison decompile the alien to dna snippets that seed evolution on a new planet.

Related to ponzies: everything evolves as expected, until it does'nt.

What do you mean by rothshield? Rothschild?

(Maybe I'm feeding a troll, but I've met no shortage of people like this in real life.)

I am ALWAYS ranting about whatever amazing new computer program strikes my fancy. Lately it's been p2p financial software, and all of a sudden I'm pushing a Ponzi scheme?

There's just no winning with you folks. If I don't hold bitcoins, then I'm a hypocrite who implicitly acknowledges bitcoin's massive risk. If I do hold them, then I'm a hoarder who exemplifies what's wrong with deflation.

I'll spend my bitcoins whenever and wherever I want, taking into account my long-term assessment of their worth. Until then, I'll continue to talk it up, just like Ripple, Open Transactions, Linux, adblock, Bittorrent, Tor, and everything else I think is cool. Please excuse how I relentlessly promote these eeeevil schemes. If anything, I'm doing you a favor by making your coins worth more and letting you buy the things you want before I get mine.

Everyone is happy to rant about what they think is wrong with the economy. But when I accept a financial risk in order to actually DO something about it, I become as bad as the bankers they revile. Apparently the only thing I'm allowed to do is stew for four years and then vote for a lesser evil. No thanks, I want something to actually change, even if it means pissing off people who feel qualified to tell me what I should want.

TL;DR: no.

Got some pretty good bites for the effort.

Also attracted other trolls to feed off your success.

You could have upped your score by godwinning or mentioning communism.

Congratulations and welcome to the forums and my ignore list.

So human kind is the Rothshield of the microbial life? We communicate and pollute invent antibiotics etc.

So at one point bacteria are gonna "hack" us to mass extinction so there can be free blobs on every rock on Earth!

Thats an amazing theory, thanks!

S3052 and cypher - most respectable prophets of Bitcoin Ponzi here. Hehe. Also some idiots in Bitcoin Foundation.

BUY, BUY, BUY. DON'T SELL. HOLD. WE ARE UP 100500%, NO JOKE!

Biological life on Earth is a ponzi scheme. Were all gonna loose out in 0.7 billion years!!

who are you anyway? this is a weird thread.

... what?
if they sold bitcoins then they bought USD... so no one could meet both criteria

and... how is it criminal?

and... do you know what a ponzi is?

easy man, ONLY those who 1 ) sell more than 1k bitcoins in the recent week; 2) and don't BUY anything with bitcoins for the recent week are criminals,  seriously .

Do you mean you meet the standards?

Who are pushing bitcoin towards the dangerous Ponzi scheme? Those who

• hoard bitcoins and sell bitcoins in the exchane in volume
• and don't BUY anything with bitcoins,
• and they advocate that bitcoin is the future currency.

Who are friends of bitcoin that consolidate the value of bitcoin as currency? Happy and reasonable shoppers who BUY things with their bitcoins.

The risks of becoming a big ponzi scheme do exist if most bitcoins are bought and sold on the market.
