:nyoron:
standard bitcoiner: scientology is a religion, irrelevant to the future of mankind

advanced bitcoiner: hmm... scientology registered as a religion for tax purposes... maybe my bitcoin company can do that too

super-advanced bitcoiner: wait... if scientology only registered as a religion for tax purposes... does that mean a group can be a cult without having to call themselves religious? *slowly moves mouse towards /r/buttcoin link*

Only 13 posts with both 'lawsky' and 'jew'

quote:

Jewish Ben Lawsky's job is to defend the status quo at Wallstreet. He basically weaseled his way into a community blinded by greed and then let the cat out of the bag.

quote:

Did you just compare Ben Lawsky regulating Bitcoin to Nazis executing jews?

quote:

&gt; Lawsky is clearly in the NY financial establishment's pocket.\n\nWTF? He's jewish. The NY financial establishment is Israeli occupied territory. Benjamin Meier Lawsky is a member of the Tribe.

quote:

Wow, if you look up my history you may see the irony in telling me I don't get it about zionism. I've been down voted up the rear end for talking about the jewish agenda.\n\nBut maybe I don't get it, I don't know. I don't see much value in writing letters to politicians, but in this case it can't hurt.\n\nAnd I agree with you that Cuomo and Lawsky are in jewish-controlled territory and are probably zionists, but I don't know for sure. The odds favor it, that's all. \n\nWhat evidence do you have that they are zionists?

quote:

Why? Being Jewish is an ideology, they have no problem causing chaos for none-Jews. So far the chaos starters in bitcoin have been Jews. It's just fact. Karpeles, Ulbricht, Shrem and now Lawsky. Jewish led VC groups like Barry Silbert and Horowitz are financing firms which are the complete anti-thesis of bitcoin(centralized with tight user restrictions).

quote:

Jewish Ben Lawsky protects the interests of his fellow tribesmen on wallstreet. Only this naive and greedy subreddit actually believed he was acting in their best interests, when like a snake he infiltrated this community promising utopia.

quote:

Lawsky is your typical NY Jew looking to cause chaos in the world. The US is now dealing with the aftermath of Jewish immigration. Financial crisis after financial crisis.

quote:

How is Lawsky a Bitcoin Jew? He is anti-Bitcoin if anything. I bet Ross aint Jewish. But what of it?

quote:

Bitcoin Jews include Murray rothbard who satoshi based Bitcoin monetary supply on. Criminals mark karpeles, Charlie shrem, Ross ulbricht. Price pumpers Barry Silbert, regulator Ben Lawsky....

quote:

You a Jew too? Shrem said he was a hardcore Zionist. It's perfectly acceptable to screw over none Jews according to the Talmud. karpeles, lawsky have done nothing but lie while Shrem supported them both.

quote:

Charlie admit you supported Karpeles and Lawsky because all 3 of you are Jewish. Screwing over the goy is perfectly acceptable in the Talmud which you openly praised.

quote:

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.\n\nSome years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, envisioned Bitcoin as the Emancipation Cryptoclamation. This momentous software would come as a great beacon light of hope to millions of fiat slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.\n\nBut a few years later, the average Joe Bitcoiner still is not free. Years later, the life of Joe is still sadly crippled by the manacles of fiat and the chains of financial discrimination. Years later, Joe lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of Wall Street prosperity. Years later, Joe Bitcoiner still languishes in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.\n\nIn a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, Bitcoiners as well as fiat lovers, would be guaranteed the \"unalienable Rights\" of \"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.\" It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her Bitcoin using citizenry are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given Joe a bad check, a check which has come back marked \"insufficient funds.\"\n\nBut we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.\n\nWe have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of financial segregation to the sunlit path of fiscal justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of fiat to the solid rock of cryptography. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.\n\nIt would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of Joe Bitcoin's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Two thousand fifteen is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that Joe needed to blow off steam and will now be content with Lawsky's self-serving regulations will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until Joe is granted his fiscal rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.\n\nBut there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of cryptographic justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.\n\nThe marvelous new righteousness which has engulfed the Bitcoin community must not lead us to a distrust of all fiat people, for many of our cash brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.\n\nWe cannot walk alone.\n\nAnd as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.\n\nWe cannot turn back.\n\nThere are those who are asking the devotees of fiscal rights, \"When will you be satisfied?\" We can never be satisfied as long as Joe Bitcoin is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of checking out with a credit card. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities without credit. *We cannot be satisfied as long as Joe's basic buying choices are limited from alpaca socks to scammy mining hardware. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating: \"Cash Only.\"* We cannot be satisfied as long as a Bitcoiner in Mississippi cannot use GrubHub and a Bitcoiner in New York believes he has no Bitcoin license which he reasonably afford. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until \"justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.\"\u00b9\n\nI am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.\n\nLet us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.\n\nAnd so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.\n\nI have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: \"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all forms of payment are created equal.\"\n\nI have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of Bitcoiners and the sons of former fiat owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.\n\nI have a dream that one day even the state of New York, a state sweltering with the heat of financial injustice, sweltering with the heat of fiscal oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.\n\nI have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the choice of their payment but by the content of their character.\n\nI have a dream today!\n\nI have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight.\n\nThis is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.\n\nWith this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.\n\nAnd this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:\n\n My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.\n\n Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,\n\n From every mountainside, let freedom ring!\n\nAnd if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.\n\nAnd so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.\n\n Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.\n\n Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.\n\n Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.\n\n Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.\n\nBut not only that:\n\n Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.\n\n Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.\n\n Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.\n\n From every mountainside, let freedom ring.\n\nAnd when this happens, and when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, fiat and crypto users, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:\n\n Free at last! Free at last!\n\n Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!

Do you even science, bro? This argument is a weak emotional appeal, rooted wholly in Christian puritanism. Fact: nearly all men are hebephiles.
Biology has programmed us (hetero males) to desire females that are just out of puberty (age 13-18) because that's when her eggs are "ripest", meaning minimally damaged by egg aging.
There is nothing wrong with being attracted to teenagers. It's normal. For half a million years human beings were reproducing as early teens.

As a cyclist I couldn't agree more. I've been struck by cars nine times in my 6 years riding in nyc. I've been extremely lucky, unlike four of the bikes I was riding which were totaled.
My opinion is that human beings (or at least new yorkers) are generally incapable of safely operating a two-ton combustion powered metal box. I will never feel safe while there are human drivers in my city. I can't wait for self-driving cars to be the norm, hopefully I'll live long enough to see that day.
