The moment we free ourselves from the tyranny of the goverment and become free...

I'm selling you my laptop and all my bitcoins for a bow , 10 arrows and a blanket.

A common reaction. People often imagine that without centrally enforced rules, everything would instantly dissolve into a dog-eat-dog war zone with people killing other people at random, looting, raping and taking a shit in front of your door (someone once provided this as an argument in this very same discussion with me..). As if the only thing stopping people from acting this way right now is the looming threat of imprisonment and punishment by the legal system. Divide and conquer still seems to be working quite well.

Have you ever noticed that laws are there for OTHER people? As in the laws are here to prevent other people from killing me and stealing my stuff. Not to prevent me from doing the same. I'm a decent fellow. It's those other bastards...  Grin

A little reminder. http://silverdoctors.com/one-year-in-hellsurviving-a-full-shtf-collapse-in-bosnia/


People living a quiet life eating pies with their neighbours and talking about how bad their goverment is with a beer in their hands don't have a clue what happens when there is no central authority.

The same neighbour will kill you for food simply because he doesn't want to die first.
Armed gang will soon appear because it's human nature to seek power and to gain control , also to ensure your own life. Kill before getting killed.

What happend is former Yugoslavia and what happend right after the fall of mother Russia in the ex-soviets states is a clear example.

Ps. I live close to the serbian-romanian border , so the shit going there was real.

Imposition of ORder = Escalation of Chaos

I'm fighting an uphill battle saying this, but:

I wonder how much a situation in which a society used to (and arguably dependent on) a single set of enforced rules suddenly finds itself without the means to enforce those rules can be compared with a situation in which a society organically grows into a state without said enforced rules.

The point most people seem to overlook in a discussion like this is that people are so hooked on the idea of having rules that if you take away the current rules, they will immediately get to work on new sets of rules. The benefit I see there is in a possible plurality of rule-sets as opposed to a single set of rules for all. In other words voluntary choices instead of forced submission. Not a very popular idea, I know, but I still imagine that having multiple options and no monopoly on the legal use of force would be very beneficial for everybody involved (maybe except for sociopaths wanting to control everybody).

btw after first reading that article a while ago I decided to load up on batteries...just in case Cheesy

Well... shit. I'm heavily armed, plenty food and supplies but I'm single. Maybe I should sell some bitcoins for a bunker  Wink

I think Human history (and those that control it) have give people the idea that we, humans, are inherently bad. That is false, but when you control the past and present, you have a way of effecting the future.

Agreed. The very next poster provides a case in point:

i consider myself a well behaved person, generally... never had any cop trouble or anything... but man, if i knew there were no legal repercussions i can easily envision reacting very differently to past situations i've been in. sometimes a person just needs to have their ass kicked, ya know?

Come to Bitcoin, your money is safe here  Grin

Good god yes! The more the fiat world collapses, the more my bitcoins are worth. My guns have bullets and I have a year of food. Bring it on!

We need a separate chartbuddy thread. This is just endless bumping without much in the way of content.

Can we get an equation that shows the relationship between the amount of bitcoin volatility and the number of posts between ChartBuddy appearances? Discussion-Between-ChartBuddy-Posting-Interval Index? No wonder volume is so low; there's nothing to trade on short term if you're looking at >1% gains on successful trades.

I want to long the Discussion-Between-ChartBuddy-Posting-Interval Index!
