Let's just add this with the price on 1 April 2015 prediction , the sums are hilarious

almost there bulls.

almost there.

one more push, you can do it.

Federal states are not quite states. Which have become clear by 1865
I'm talking about any company that offers protection services. Size can vary from one person to millions of employees. Origin - current states or multinationals or protection companies or gangs.

The major difference from emigration - in not having to emigrate. The same way like you don't have to relocate to change internet provider or bank or insurance company.
If you ever emigrated, you would agree that it's very costly enterprise, in all respects, in most cases - prohibitively costly. "My" system reduces the cost of switching protection provider to practically zero and therefore allows market forced act freely.

How it is achieved - is a million dollar question. I hope that bitcoin (and monero) is a step in this direction.

Transition to such system is basically transfer from socialism to capitalism. Replacing the remaining pocket of socialism - the state, by capitalistic companies.
We've seen examples of such transfer in economics during last decades. There is basically two major ways: voluntary and compulsory. The voluntary one (China) is when state builds the market. The compulsory is when the state collapses and market emerges from the resulting chaos (Soviet Union). I hope the transition will be voluntary but afraid that it will be compulsory.   

Yes but, notice, that countries with small armies, do exist.

Sure, a bigger army could , right now, tomorrow take over the whole world, and then a little country would not have the ability to "protect itself"
but do you notice, that the people of Luxemburg, the people of Ireland, the people of New Zealand, manage to get to sleep just fine.

(and whilst no countries are immune to a military coup, in most countries it is not something that keeps people awake at night, why? because, the second you instigate something like a military coup, then all bets are off, you have changed the entire game)
  

Also, I lived there for a half year back in 1968 when it still was basically a free country and it saddens me to see how low it has sunk. Pity.

Right on!

I don't have anything against you, I can't tolerate insults to others. Just that.

I think the only way we'll have a decent rise again is big positive news.
It's the only way the bears will be beaten - by lots of new investment coming into BTC.

Whether that's BIT beginning to trade, the Winkledouche ETF getting approved, Gemini, huge companies adopting, I don't know.
Maybe even not until the halving.

But we won't see any higher than 350 USD without a big push.

It goes back to the civil war, with the division between the slave run economy in the south and the more industrial north. The north won the war and the US was de facto a federal state rather than a confederal state. Slavery was abolished, but as we saw in the sixties, and to some extent today, parts of the south maintains those race lines and are vehemently against taking any instructions from the federal level (That's also where this right wing anarchism and hate towards "The Government" comes from). And according to this thinking you don't use rich white peoples money to pay for healthcare for other races.

Of course, most states don't think like this, so these forces started cooperating with the classical liberals/libertarians and christian conservatives because they had overlapping interests, turning the republicans from the party of Lincoln and against suppression of blacks, to what we've seen for the last 50 years. Up until Nixon America was adopting social policies just like europe and much of the rest of the world.

The true genius can be found in the modern day propaganda developed by the republicans and Rupert Murdochs FOX News. They know they are lying, and they know what they are saying can be proven wrong very easily. But they also know that their core audience won't care or understand this if they just keep droning on as if it was true anyway. If you understand that what they are saying is stupid, then you're not their core audience and they don't need you. It's a kind of brainwashing which both the chinese and the Kreml have adopted. It makes it much easier to control populations.

What they also find is that a majority of the rest starts, not agreeing with the BS, but treating it as a legitimate viewpoint. Which makes fertile ground for new fools to fall for their stupidity. How many times haven't you see people being interviewed trying to be "balanced" when asked about "Obamacare". We in europe would just roll our eyes and say that the republicans were off the plot.

sry, TL

Any ideas why my "Activity" is stuck at 98?
