Pretty much everyday you spend in the UK is like bending over to pick up the soap in the showers in a prison full of lifers... you get royal screwed in the ass over and over and over Cheesy

in a financial sense I mean... in many ways this little island totally rocks.. the weather well.... this summer as been amazing... but we did not have one for the two previous years... just drizzle and rain.... it rains a lot... oh what is that ? you want to drive a car to stay dry ? well better pick up that soap.

Yup. Something like 80% of the price of petrol in the UK is tax. Glad I got out. Though I mostly left because of the weather. Three years of overcast summers failed completely vs a warm sunny day in November in Florida.

True that is.... and worse luck winter is coming Angry

Hope sunny Florida is treating you well

No. We have Bitcoin. There will still be fluctuations of course and we'll probably all be driving flying electric cars but it probably means that a gallon of gas in 2020 will cost about the same mBTC as in 2070

whao pretty crap start to my day here.... anyway...

anyone notice the price of gas today? unbelievable, they have been running out of gas since 1970, and then they killed the electric car, only to bring the price of gass up Up UP, because they can. "they" are true asholes. I will buy all the bitcoins that will show them HA!

Have the prices been going up? Or...

omfg we are so fucked.

damn it!

nominal gas price graph looks a bit like the hype cycle bubble graph.... (dare I mention it)

you're right, on second thought, the inflation adjusted graph is nearly at a 100 year high, price of gas should come down, like maybe under 1$ / L ( all i know is the metric system )

wow, i did maths and i found out that

price of gas here is 3.78541 * 1.48 = 5.6 / Gallon or 5.15USD / Gallon

ha in the UK it is £5.86 a gallon and so =$9.56

and i thought i was getting ripped off...

Canada being america's bitch has its adv. i guess.

Very creative, Notlambchop, but some of us do NOT give a flying fuck whether he is a professor or NOT.... I mean, unless he is putting it to good use and even really attempting to help with various bitcoin problems. Otherwise, why the fuck does he need to hang out here, and supposedly save us from ourselves and to save us from the various flaws of bitcoin (his latest hang-up seems to be coins getting stolen), but I am sure even if various resolutions are developing in the bitcoin space, some other major bitcoin issue will keep him focused in his attempts to "help" us out.

It's important what he is a professor *of*. Though to be fair, in economic matters, I don't think most professors of economics have much more of a clue than Jorge.

The reason that I referred to Jorge's "professor" status in a snarky way is because it does (and should) NOT matter whether one is a professor or a snotty nosed 5 year old in order to post decent ideas in this forum....

...because he stuck his PhuD in our faces

Bitcointalk stats are going to move like the bitcoin price, that's something we all know Cheesy

If bitcoin goes up and people talk about bitcoin, more people is going to visit bitcointalk... they're simultaneous.

Now what we have to do is promote bitcoin to our friends with little donations to let them know how it works Wink

At some point I noticed that some of the balls climbed up the walls of the plastic container when it was shaken, apparently because they picked up static charge and repelled each other. Static electricity from friction and and repulsion of electrically charged objects is usually demonstrated with bits of light insulating stuff; I was a bit surprised to see it happen with relatively heavy and conducting objects. It seemed as a good a subject as any for my first YouTube video.

I liked it, might try it myself too sometimes. I've got plenty steel balls,.. I mean real steel balls, like you have. I really mean those metallic steel balls, physically. Damn it.

...
The Bitcoin applications and their security can (and will eventually) exhibit the same amount of security (or lack thereof) as those tied in with the banking system. That part is obvious, because the Bitcoin protocol doesn't address the security of this layer in any way.
...

I'm wondering if that's the only way of seeing the problem. I agree with the above, but...

...the security of conventional banking applications is not the only security layer for the end users of those applications.
Case in point:
If my bank's ATM or webportal gets hax0rd, I don't lose a cent. If that happens with my Bitcoin wallet/app, I do.

True. But this falls (imo) under my 2nd point then: security through central authority.

In other words: if the ATM is hacked, you don't lose funds because you are not the de facto only owner of your funds (in the way that you are with extremely high likelihood the only owner of your funds if you are holding the private keys to you bitcoins).

The same mechanism that prevents you from losing funds if the ATM is hacked (or a bank is robbed) however also enables an even higher authority to take (parts of) your funds during a banking crisis bail-in or through inflation.

Which is why I said in my post: we will eventually come back to first principles. Do we believe that a central authority protects us from harm more often than it causes harm to us. I am okay with agreeing to disagree on this point.
