Topic: Stefan Molyneux Bitcoin vs. Political Power (Must see if you haven't yet) - page 5. (Read 7913 times)

Its a great video, but overly optimistic...Bitcoin is already becoming centralized and the foundation being taken over.

I heard they are trading oil and gas in St Petersburg WITHOUT dollars, what about that?

Russia and other petronations (Saudis) fund unrest all over the world with oil money. Using bitcoin will not change this, it's wishfull thinking by Americans who have no idea how the rest of the world works (I know Stefan is Canadian but he focuses on US news 99% of time)

Problem is lots of countries outside the US wage war even though they can't effectively print their own money (because they have to keep a good ratio of local currency to foreign reserves).

Ancap here. I really wonder if a political (dare I say propaganda) speech given on a tech conference will really bring people to bitcoin? Plus there are several outrageous claims with no basis in reality.
He claims that war is supported by fiat currency and money printing.

I take Stefan Molyneux as seriously as a heart attack. He is a living sage of our time, although he's got it wrong to include capitalism in his vision.

Start with this one, "Sunset of the State".

I also highly recommend On Truth: The Tyranny of Illusion, if your mind is prepared. It's a whopping two hours and forty minutes.

Empty your cup.

Oh lord.  Do people actually take this guy seriously?  Just another shock jock like Alex Jones et al

I get what he's saying and I agree to an extent.  Bitcoin threatens government power and corporate interests.  But, these are the two very strongest influences out there.  What I'm saying is that these are the two biggest bullies on the block and when their interests are threatened there will be tremendous blow-back. 

I believe there is a significant economic battle coming. 

yup

He said it himself and I agree, that was the speech of his career.

guys... what's missing important? I drank n typed, took me 3 hours

Bitcoin has the ability to stop the seemingly endless growth of political power that literally appears to be eating up the world and our next generation. The unfunded liabilities of this gubbernment are estimated at over 100 TRILLION (!) DOLLAR. The reason for this is gubbernments can print anything they want. The plutocratic buisiness/financial INTEREST had the era of the government- the PEOPLE did not. Fiat-money made this disaster possible... and Bitcoin has the ability to stop it ! Simple. 2500 Years ago money had to be portable, long-lasting, divisable and the most intruistic value was it's limitation. That was gold. In the 19th century prices went down because of gold, today all evaporates in our hands. The limiting of money is the limiting of political power ! Fathom this !

The financial oligarchy has not to fear anything, while 2500 Occupy-Wall-Street protestors went to jail. Bankers are estimated to have destroyed 40% of the U.S.wealth with Fractional Reserve Banking and still walk free. Picking in the pocket of a fetus is just beyond unfair.The limiting of money is the limiting of political power.

Everyone expected the first world war to be over in 6 months because war is feroucisly expensive and they had no money. During that time european banks one by one went off the gold-standard, so nobody had to ask us to choose between food and death, between life and murder, between guns and butter. WW2 cost 15 times more the gold that they had. War and gold/limited currency don't mix very well. If they had waged first world war on gold it would have ended christmas 1914 without the infinite blenders of human parts they shoveled into this madness and saved the lives of MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, People! This is how serious inflating fiat money is.

The total amount of gold on earth we hold in our hands is 174.000 tons while the war on Error cost 291.000 tons of gold. In terms of Bitcoin that's 500 times more Bitcoins than ever will be mined. The Internet has not slowed the growth of gubbernments around the world, it has not saved the next generation from the endless gutterhole of debt. Information empowers the people, but not with regards to political power. Political power is a monopoly of the initiation of force in a geographical area.Information don't stop bullets. But when you don't have money to fund bullets, the bullets stop. I strongly urge you to claim your power back, start using Bitcoin, everything peaceful, break out of the loop. Thank you Billed shall be the warmongers !

Seems there has been a bit of a concentrated attack on people outside the herd.

Stefan is more controversial than not. This is one of his best performances however.

This one stays at the top. Keep it there, you hear me you fucks?

Don't let it touch page 2.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igbBItLemsM    his truth about voting is a  must watch as well.  so glad the dude is into bitcoins. we need more  motherfukers like this.

Awesome stuff, I always keep up with his youtube videos.

BEST STUFF! CHECK HIS RADIO SHOW !

I, too discovered Stefan Molyneux recently, through another very clever Bitcoin proponent, Erik Voorhees in another interesting YouTube vid: Bitcoin Myths Exposed! - A Conversation with Erik Voorhees http://youtu.be/XBF7Sev2dZM

Stefan thinks exactly how I think. Very rare breed we are.

It truly is a great video.
