In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.

see my earlier post, trilateralism is probably just a joke they put in there. but backmasking is definitely a real one that jack chick was worked up over, it's when evil satan bands put HAVE GAY SEX WITH THE DEVIL backwards in a song so it hypnotically corrupts the youth and pretty soon little timmy from the house on the corner is having gay sex with the devil because he made the mistake of listening to N'Sync or whatever

speaking of NSYNC and gay sex with the devil, I remember there being a article that got big prior to Lou pearlmans death detailing accusations against him called like "bad things happen in that house" but I can't find it

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

Is it actually possible to block a particular crypto in a given country, or does that go the same way as most other internet censorship

Because then the endgame for all cryto is being banned as soon as it becomes a credible threat to a state's power

if the tax authorities can go after people for bitcoin gains i imagine some level of enforcement would be possible

the turkey thing sounds like it's about stopping physical shops accepting bitcoin to try to protect their currency. doubt they give a poo poo about people doing online transactions with it

i imagine the first thing they'd do is shut down all the giant bitcoin farms which are probably pretty hard to hide. then erm... i think that just kills bitcoin globally since so much of the hash power is in china? lol

IMO the thing that would take the longest about blocking bitcoin traffic in the US is figuring out which federal agency gets new turf.

It's a hard world for little things.
if they want to kill bitcoin all they have to do is require all bitcoin transactions to actually be done on the blockchain

one share of AOL purchased at IPO for $11.50
-> 128 shares AOL Time Warner
-> 42.7 shares Time Warner + 3.9 shares Aol.
-> 61.3 shares AT&T + $193.94 from Verizon
-> $2,030

a 20% annual gain disregarding dividends & any transactions I missed. not bad i guess for companies that offer services in steady, widespread demand?

e: there's a big TW cable spinoff in there that probably makes the calculation worthless but hey as long as i had fun
