LOL. OK I should have said "went on to become the greatest country the world has ever seen."

In terms of technological advancements, its true.

I appreciate the rap dubstep breakdown in the middle.

It was fiat that allowed my beloved America to become the most prosperous nation on earth. We must not forget that. If America turns it's back on fiat, it will be doomed.

This is really not true. America's industrial economy allowed it to be as prosperous as it is today. Since the industrial revolution technology has also helped the US's economy grow and prosper (the technology sector). Fiat has simply been what trade in the US economy has been done it. If trade was done in some other way then it would not have effected as to how big the US economy has grown to become, as long as the method of trade is something that is widely accepted and easily spent.

Yeah fiat is the reason this country is falling apart also... Don't forget to add that fact when your telling the story. Paper with no real value being printed out of thin air and controlled by a small group is what made America the country it is in many ways.

Redo the video and get a stylist / director to help the speakers message be more noticeable than their appearances/demeanors/facial expressions.

We are all unapologetic "weirdos". The next video should have more weirdos and not less.

@BitBurger
I disagree. It is more natural, a message from the real people. It is 'raw' and I like it.
And Charlie is the best! A man and his message stright from the home arrest Wink

Charlie -

Love ya buddy but deep V neck shirts and unbuttoned henleys are probably not a good idea.

This guy needs his own talkshow.

Yeah. Im sure a lot of good folks in that video. But the weird-factor is a bit high. People will probably make fun of it rather than listen to the message.

The love of fiat is the root of all good

I honestly don't think that's a problem given the slow rate of adoption cryptocurrency is encountering. Plus there will always be a need for physical money.

Yes, I agree. People are realizing that Bitcoin is just a scam and coming back to fiat. It's much safer to just save and transact with dollars.

Quote from: nutildah on August 15, 2014, 03:00:53 PM

Double plus it will be world that turns its back on the dollar, not America.

The rest of the world is fortunate that we allow them to use our dollars to share in our prosperity. If they get out of line, then that privilege will be revoked.

And that went on to become the biggest corporation the world has ever seen.

You seem even more cynical than me.

Cheer up, life isn't that bad and most things have been getting better, even for the poor, with every passing generation. Enjoy a song :

We will stand together in solidarity and not betray the true essence of Bitcoin.

Discuss...

Yeah um. Pretty much everything I feel about this video was talked about here.

"Animal of anonymity"

ROFL - anybody tried using cash? Where like - transactions don't sit in the blockchain forever? Videos like this make me lose faith in crypto ...

What does it matter what genetic background bitcoin users are? The whole concept of race is an illusion anyways because there is greater genetic differentiation between 2 "black" humans 5 km apart in Africa than between either one of them and a "whitey" in Sweden.

Uh, no there's not.

The point is in retrospect the video is a little bit smarmy. The general message is, "We rich white people demand freedom!"

Which is cool. I mean, after all, its how America got started. And that went on to become the biggest corporation the world has ever seen.

Don't let perfection be the enemy of improvement. Bitcoin was never meant to solve all the worlds problems.
