every time i read a big serious article about libertarians, the over-the-top description of libertarians and the logical end results of their ideaology made by goons writing fiction in the seasteading thread seems less and less far fetched

the only good thing about libertarians is the earnestness with which they will admit they think mob justice, feudal lords, debt slavery and roving bands of murderers are in fact very good

they've never been the victims of society so they cannot imagine themselves being victims in the newer even shittier society in which all their hosed up dreams are true

Suicidal over Dogecoin - Please help shibes (self.dogecoin)

I got in to Dogecoin at the pump in January. Put all the savings I had into it. I thought it was taking off because it was going to be the new Bitcoin. Like many in here whether we admit it or not I was frustrated that I wasn't in on the Bitcoin gravy train and hoped that Dogecoin would be the next big thing. A lot of shibes on here would probably scoff at that and say it's unshibe like, including one of the founders IIRC, but not everyone has comfortable jobs and high income. A lot of us work really hard for near minimum wage and there's nothing wrong with wanting a better future for yourself and your family.

I was planning to buy a house with my fiancee but now pretty much 80% of our savings have been wiped out. I told her and she went on a rant about my stupid ideas, it was pretty humiliating because I had been going on to her about how cool Dogecoin was and how it can grow in value but also that it does loads of cool things other than just being a currency. I always had a funny feeling that she was a bit meh about the fact that I was a nerd, and she is quite popular, I often wondered why she was with me but up to now I managed to put those thoughts aside and get on with my work.

The few friends I have, I can't even face them because I went on and on about Doge for weeks from January to March. I can't talk to anyone about this or have them understand why I feel the way I do. Even when the price dropped quite a bit below my buy in price (which was around 250 on average) from March to April, I still had faith that this was a temporary retrace, but this price drop is so long and it just keeps dropping like there is no floor. Who knows where the bottom is, 10 satoshi, 1 satoshi? Going down to litoshi? I've tried to comfort myself with examples of Bitcoin's drops from $30 to $1 before but this doesn't mean it's going to happen again especially because of Doge's very different properties (large amount of coins, worries about quick halving, starting out as a joke etc.).

I was just hoping I would grow on her or she would mature as she got older, or something...

Call me cynical but I feel a lot of women would leave their husbands if the man contracted a fatal disease, not all of them but a lot of them. Because the man is meant to provide and be strong. They always want something just like we want love, sex and companionship. But I had kind of accepted that. Now I have nothing :/

quote:

Madoff was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on December 11, 2008, on a criminal charge of securities fraud.[152] According to the criminal complaint, the previous day[156] he had told his sons that his business was "a giant Ponzi scheme".[157][158] They called a friend for advice, Martin Flumenbaum, a lawyer, who called federal prosecutors and the SEC on their behalf. FBI Agent Theodore Cacioppi made a house call. "We are here to find out if there is an innocent explanation," Cacioppi said quietly. The 70-year-old financier paused, then said: "There is no innocent explanation."[17][153] He had "paid investors with money that was not there".[159] Madoff was released on the same day of his arrest after posting $10 million bail.[157] Madoff and his wife surrendered their passports, and he was subject to travel restrictions, a 7 p.m. curfew at his co-op, and electronic monitoring as a condition of bail. Although Madoff only had two co-signers for his $10 million bail, his wife and his brother Peter, rather than the four required, a judge allowed him free on bail but ordered him confined to his apartment.[160] Madoff has reportedly received death threats that have been referred to the FBI, and the SEC referred to fears of "harm or flight" in its request for Madoff to be confined to his Upper East Side apartment.[160][161] Cameras monitored his apartment's doors, its communication devices sent signals to the FBI, and his wife was required to pay for additional security.[161]
So this rear end in a top hat gets sent to Jail but not Trendon? I'm not aware of who Madoff is but Trendon is a piece of poo poo for scamming everyone. All those BTC he scammed would be worth millions now. I'd really recommend all the investors to form a group action against him and them just have the law firm handle as much as possible. I doubt Trendon only made a few hundred K, he probably has BTC stashed away and is a BTC millionaire. If there's a bunch of red tape because it isn't actual currency or something, Silk Road was taken down and that only involved BTC, so there shouldn't be a problem. All the info is out there Idk how this guy isn't in jail yet.

quote:

SWARM is a crowdfunding platform that allows for crypto-equity fundraising. Instead of incorporating in a physical jurisdiction, the company incorporates directly on the bitcoin blockchain by creating a coin. Each individual “coin” becomes an equity share in the company/project (we call them Distributed Autonomous Organizations, or DAOs). Coins can then be sold to investors to raise funds or traded like corporate shares on the stock market. The crypto-equity platform is enabled through bitcoin 2.0 technology, the commitment from users to generate support from the community, and the collective intelligence of our users.

After the creation of cryptocurrency, I think crypto-equity is the next frontier.

About the murder for hire charges:

If you kill somebody that is imminently threatening to kill you, that is self defense, right?

If you kill somebody that is imminently threatening to kidnap you, isn't that still self defense?

In any of the above cases, isn't it still self defense if you pay somebody to do that for you?

I am not sure about the legal answers to those questions, but it seems to me that even if the alegations are true, moraly he was only defending his life since I don't recall reading about him ever initiating agression, or threats of agression against anybody.

[–]anddrade -1 points 34 minutes ago*

>Against what?

The supposed target, from what I understand, was supposedly threatening to send him to jail.

The question is when are you moraly justfied to protect your life with deadly force? If you can directly eliminate the threat, then no question. If you have to ask for help, but you initiate the action of defending yourself, I don't see why that should be moraly any different.

Imminence is usually an important fact, I believe, to justify why the person didn't seek other forms of help before resorting to deadly force, usually contacting the police, which was not an option in his case.
