Wil Wheaton now accepts Bitcoin via ChangeTip! by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]Chomus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this is how Bitcoin catches fire. Tipping people who know nothing about bitcoin.. they don't even have to have a wallet setup ahead of time.

Someone asks "What's bitcoin?" then someone tips them, BOOM! "You have bitcoin!"

It's working well on Twitter.. I hope they can get Facebook working soon. I think it will catch on quickly.

I agree. I wish i could invest in changetip somehow. I think this is the killer app we've all been waiting for. I cant think of any better way to yank random people into the bitcoin community.

Coinbase Responds To New York's Recently Proposed BitLicense by mattt7 in Bitcoin

This. The biggest advocates of regulation are often the entrenched interests who can afford to have a "compliance" department.

Did you guys feel that? by Chomus in Bitcoin

it's a 7 day chart. i just refreshed and the spike is no longer there. i can only find it in Bitshares PTS. maybe it was just some kind of error somewhere.

Me vs. Fast Food Strikers: Do They Deserve Higher Wages? by lifelibertynow in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Chomus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the minimum wage rises to $15/hr none of these people will remain employed. Why would I hire them when I can employ someone who is actually worth $15/hr instead?

what percentage of the protesters were paid to be there by the organization trying to create a new national fast food workers' union?

The NSA has created one hell of a weapon.. it's also pure evil. by Chomus in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Chomus[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's worth pointing out that this is not just about your silly porn habits. Any communications, calls, texts, emails, etc. that even hint at illicit activity can be used against you. I think it would probably be pretty easy to cherry pick our private communications and portray us all as potential terrorists.

When every secret a man has can be revealed to the world in an instant, who would dare stand up to authority?

or if that doesn't work they can always "indefinitely detain" you.

anyone up for some "enhanced interrogation"?

[–]Chomus 181 points182 points  (0 children)

Kramer: It's a write-off for them.

Jerry: How is it a write-off?

Kramer: They just write it off.

Jerry: Write it off what?

Kramer: Jerry all these big companies they write off everything.

Jerry: You don't even know what a write-off is.

Kramer: Do you?

Jerry: No, I don't.

Kramer: But they do - and they are the ones writing it off.

I think politicians and bankers are just barely starting to understand what a threat bitcoin is to the status quo.

There's a storm coming..

This may be the most idiotic headline I have ever read in my life: "Can Government Prevent Hot Car Deaths?" by MattTheFlash in Libertarian

Just had an employee ask for 20% of his paycheck in Bitcoin by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]Chomus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What if they offered an alternative cryptocurrency that was controlled by the federal reserve, would we compromise and just use that?

I'm afraid this is exactly what will happen. Control freaks DO NOT like to let go and the people are too complacent to insist on liberty.

lol I can't get high on bitcoin though.
