Switzerland is famous for its financial privacy. Good place to bank and keep your affairs private especially if you don't want agencies like Fincen and SEC sniffing around.

Fornication seems pretty centralized to me if 1 in 200 people is a descendent of Ghengis Khan.
The great thing about nature if even if you impregnated every woman on earth, your genes would become so diluted over time by the recombinations of fornication that follow your legacy.
Nature is resilient and routes around Coasian barriers, because the Second Law of Thermodynamics trends to maximum. If it were not this way, the past and future would collapse into a predetermined static nothingness. Specifically the speed-of-light term in the Lorentz factor would be infinite so there would be no time dilation at any relative velocity of the relative inertial frames.
I wish ethereum a long and prosperous future a.k.a reaching $20 and plenty of reliable and long-term bagholders to unload on over the course of many,many years

precisely.
some people think the Chinese will fall over themselves in the rush to invest in a token from an odd looking youth with a Russian name from Canada now living in a tax haven surrounded by jurisdictional walls and limited extradition treaties. mad.
btc is an oriental proposition right now and the Chinese will be happy to keep their hard earned coin inside that cultural comfort zone.
No reason to run , when your shit dont stink
Funny to see the BTC Maximalists lose their shit over ETH.
One could argue ETH is not overpriced, rather its Bitcoin that is underpriced. But hey, Bitcoin is having trouble expanding because it is run by a cartel that is snakier than the Saudi Royal Family.

There is no power vacuum for what people do decentralized such as fornication.
The power vacuum forms over what isn't impossible to centralize.

If you take into account that groups are isolated and never come in contact with each other, and shouldn't even be tallied together, that number would be shockingly higher if you only used the Eurasian population.

Lol I don't think Vitalik Is a scammer, I think he really believes in this concept and will solve the problems ahead.
I have seen some youtube video's about him and Ethereum and if this was a scam this is the best ever:P

First of all, the killer app of the blockchain is likely currency, nothing else. The next runner up would be a decentralized exchange or marketplace. Either for financial transactions or an ebay/amazon-like experience. Bitcoin did rise to prominence from the Silk Road after all. The 3rd runner up is unknown, but it might not even be these so called dapps. Ethereum will always have abysmal load capacity, much more problemtic than Bitcoin scaling, so even if dapps were the 3rd killer app of the blockchain, Ethereum is unable to even accomplish that feat.

But it is not and Ethereum will be great, the dapps that are on the way are incredible, and there will be 1 that everyone wants to use for sure!

i may go to Zug and make my own personal assessment of the ETH thing
The whole "anarchy" thing is stupid, because just like Anonymint always pulls up the power vacuum point in regards to economics, there is always a power vacuum that will be filled by a "strongman" somewhere to abolish anarchy.

I think anyway not...he need to fly to mars to run away form such a big volume of investors and creditors!

why would he run?
just going to dump the coins and kill the price slowly. with this big market cap it is an easy task to complete.
worst case scenario is declaring bankruptcy!

"Will Vitalik flee the country..."
Vitalik has ALREADY fled. He's now living in **SWITZERLAND**!!

I guess you voted for option #4 then
voting is the lie that is democracy
All I know is that aristocrats were able to take advantage of the system that was the Roman republic to shape the system entirely to their benefit at the detriment of everyone else (just like today). Then when Caesar took over, life for the common man was better under him and Octavius, and possibly even people like Nero and Commodus; with the exception of killing random people for no reason, but the statistical odds are on your side.
So, by decentralizing power at the top through a senate or whatever form, you're also decentralizing liability for bad actions, giving them plausible deniabiality, and making them harder to overthrow. When there's one man at the top, people just kill them and get it over with to fix the system. The whole "anarchy" thing is stupid, because just like Anonymint always pulls up the power vacuum point in regards to economics, there is always a power vacuum that will be filled by a "strongman" somewhere to abolish anarchy.
thanks.
today is the Ides of March, the assassination of Julius Augustus Caesar.

i don't think he will abandon the ship , he need to maintain an imagine, that alone is worth more than the premined ethereum he is holding
How do we know he is still holding the premine coins. Does he make a public pledge to hold them for long term?
TPTB is correct, although I'll try and explain in a more digestible manner 
A contract in ETH (or any platform for that matter) can only come to a reliable consensus if the information it is using to come to that consensus is solely internal to the system.
In the case of this, the driver and the passenger could collude to input "fake" information into the system, perhaps so that the driver gets more tokens or whatever. There is no way for the system to check, irrefutably, that the journey really was say 20 miles in distance, it could all be fake.
Even if you put a "black box" in the cab, you still cant ever be 100% sure that it wasn't tampered with, and so due to that uncertainly, the consensus can never be totally reliable.
