No, printing money (QE, inflation, what have you) is absolutely NOT a capitalist tenet. Quite the opposite. We do not live in a true capitalist society anymore, although we still use the term, and so disparage it. Creditism would be better,

These ideas are more than just clever, they are exactly what is happening due to money printing and zero to near-zero interest rates. You restated the facts well. As to those who claim QE ended, and other nonsensical ignorant claims, that i

This is simply not an accurate response, and you are comparing apples to napalm. Apple/FB/etc do in fact make it difficult to switch - by adding value to their offerings. Users become more and more entrenched as they enjoy the b

I'm curious, did you move for Act 20/22? Based on your model, I assume so. I'll be making the move in December.

Everyone has different opinions, such as Rand Paul's view on family/abortion/etc. Some people agree with his views, others don't. However beyond that, you should be more educated before spouting historical "facts&qu

I use a secret scheme that only I know. It works like this - I have one single long complex "base" password, which is no problem for me to remember, which has letters, numbers, caps, and symbols so all password checkers are happy.

I want to back this up. Just shut it down, and move on. You learned a lot, and maybe next time you will make something that can actually make money and work full time on. Probably not. You'll most likely make something else that fails.

You are 100% correct, and I've thought so since the day it was announced. I believe this extends to all wearables, such as watches. Apple intelligently chose to leave the camera off, which might be the most distinguishing feature, fro

Thank you! This is the one point I very much disagreed with from this talk. His argument is that our logical brain, which is new, is first to interpret our environment but am pretty sure that premise is flawed. Our irrational, fast, animal

It sounds like you are referring to password hashing. Neither BLAKE nor MD5 should be used for password hashing. At the bottom of the article make sure to read his section "P.S. this isn't about hashing passwords"

It's really more like a bank shut down, or maybe the bank owner stealing everyone's money. If you had a dollar in your pocket it would be fine, but here it was deposited into a bank that vanished.

As an avid weight lifter out on a two month backpacking trip, this is just what the doctor ordered. Ya I could always just do the moves on my own but I am not as comfortable with body weight stuff as I am with a bar. 99¢ well spent!

Ah yes, agreed. I meant purely related to the previous comment implying that keyboard literate users are the only audience for bitcoins. And so I meant that my uses are not knowledge about bitcoin regardless of their keyboarding skills, bei

And you are 100% correct that you can speculate in the forex style, however that misses the point if what bitcoin really is. It's like someone in the past saying "I don't view cars as an alternative transportation method. I s
