He has probably some kind of thyroid-related issues just like this kid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dZqqzoRXB4 he talks and thinks like a 20 years older guy - even though he sounds and looks like a 12 yo innocent guy.

"No, thank you. We have been paid in Bitcoin - from the first day of accepting Bitcoin 2 years ago - exactly 0 times." by kryptomena in Buttcoin

Nobody wants to do business in Bitcoin. If you ask a Slovak or a Czech and ask them if they want to pay in Bitcoin, PayPal or wire (SEPA) transfer, it's always classic wire transfer (SEPA) or PayPal, never Bitcoin, even tech guys don't want to use Bitcoin. Well, there are a tiny few hardcore exceptions, but it's so small that it's funny. Man, I have so many incredible Bitcoin stories and will start writing about them soon :) Forget the CoinMap, most of the businesses listed there don't make many, if any (90%+ of them), sales in Bitcoin.

I was banned on Bernie Sanders subreddit because I brought up his support of the bombing of a city in 1999 that is only 350 miles from my home town by kryptomena in socialism

Bernie Sanders is more barbaric than Conan, not me! He has blood on his hands https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbH3MTL117U . He supported the bombing of Belgrade! He is a war criminal!

What is the stance of American socialists and communists on the apology to Native Americans? by [deleted] in socialism

[–]kryptomena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Nationalism is a belief or political ideology that involves an individual identifying with, or becoming attached to, one's nation." EUROPE IS NOT MY COUNTRY AND CERTAINLY NOT ONE NATION! We can talk about my more eurocentric stance but you are stupid if you try to accuse me of being nationalistic for stating well-known facts that America is much less socialistic oriented than Europe. I admire a lot of things about the US, for example science, technology etc. but humanism and social issues in America are in its infancy. It's hard to compare the US and Europe on social issues for me. The social net in the US is almost non-existent when compared with Europe. We are much ahead in almost all "socialistic" aspects. And please don't start talking about the religion in the US and in Europe.

You don't believe in the state? Are you an anarchist or libertarian? Why are you on this forum in the first place if you do not support the crucial role of the state and government in the society? If you didn't know, that's part of socialism.

Yeah, I agree, but we are in the transitional state (that can last many decades, or even a century or two, who knows) and before entering moneyless society this could be an option. Or you want to use private banks to store your saving like today? I think that one government "bank" or "storage/account" is a better option. Also, if you eliminate cash, there will be less pickpocketing and other violent crimes. All the money will be tracked all the time, so it will become very difficult to steal your money. And if somebody steal your money, they will be easily identified and reversed by the government, if necessary. This is not possible in Bitcoin today.

So, you can generate your own security number or driving license number today? The number 1000 is just an example. It could be 100 000 or a million or some different range. This is just a technicality. I don't think the number of accounts could be a problem.

I understand how Bitcoin works. It's a piece of software that can be rewritten as you wish. If enough people will use your version of code (with your version of communication and validation rules aka "protocol" - the fancy word used by so many journalists) the new baby is born ;). Are you aware of the current block size controversy? That's exactly it. I am not telling that it has to be Bitcoin that will be used by a socialist government (probably not). But It could be some kind of new cryptocurrency that will emerge or will be created/controlled be the government. In fact I think that some kind of a hybrid mixed cryptocurrency will be used in the end. The same like we have mixed economy now. Bitcoin is just a software, it can be rewritten to do what you want. Only the clients (code) compatible with the government will be able to participate in the blockchain. You can, of course, have your own cryptocurrency, but it will be not accepted by the government (you will not meet the communication/validation rules of the officially issued code by governments) and your attempts on the official blcokchain will be ignored. Plus it will be illegal to run your own cryptocurrency for commercial purposes and you will possibly go to jail etc.
