Just saw this: http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygre...um-prison-time/ quote:In the indictment released Tuesday, Ulbricht is charged with not only engaging in a narcotics, hacking and money-laundering conspiracy, but a “continuing criminal enterprise,” a charge sometimes referred to as the “kingpin statute.” That law applies to alleged criminal organizations with six or more members organized by a single leader. And it brings Ulbricht’s potential minimum prison sentence to 30 years when added to the 10-year minimum sentence associated with the narcotics conspiracy charge. Both charges also carry a maximum sentence of life in prison.

I just wanted to say that I love you all (self.Bitcoin) submitted 1 hour ago* by futurebound I wanted to say this while we're in a period of price stagnation, so it won't appear artificial. I also wanted to express why I love you so much. My discovery of Bitcoin has had the single greatest impact on my worldview to date. The minds that I have connected with here are among the most brilliant I've ever encountered. The concentration of knowledge here from fields of economics, finance, and computer science is remarkable and rare. I don't have as computer science background. I actually study biology. But, when I discovered Bitcoin, specifically this subreddit, I became interested to the point of obsession. Not an hour passes that it does not enter my mind. Some of the voices that I’ve heard here, from the known faces and the unknown faces, have become my heroes. Many parallels can be drawn between Bitcoin, populations, organisms, and life itself. Some of the familiar patterns are feedback loops and sigmoidal curves. But Bitcoin doesn't express the properties of feedback loops and sigmoidal growth with its protocol alone. No, it is the interaction of people with the protocol that makes the network come alive. The same way that life's source code, DNA, cannot create life without interacting with its environment. Without community, Bitcoin is just source code. The simple realization of this is mind-boggling. In the same way that an organism is not equivalent to its DNA, Bitcoin is not equivalent to its protocol. Organism = DNA -> proteins -> cell(s) -> etc + feedback and interaction with environment. Each layer has a certain degree of plasticity that allows the organism to adapt and evolve. The same analogy can be applied to the layers of Bitcoin. Except, there’s a much greater degree of plasticity to Bitcoin than there is to a biological organism because it can adapt and evolve through conscious effort. This is especially true in its still early development. To the core developers: Suggest and make the changes you deem necessary to the protocol. There’s others around you and a voting mechanism to help check your work. We realize that it’s like repairing a 747 mid-flight, but Bitcoin is a risky investment. We must take risks in order to change the world. I believe in you. To the developers and companies on the periphery: You provide the shape, form, and color that makes Bitcoin enticing and useful for all. Keep innovating and searching for those killer apps. To the rest of us: Help create the culture that invites newcomers, fosters innovation, and provides support. Help create such a clear and beautiful painting of the future that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I proudly work for the world’s first digital autonomous corporation and I would like to thank all of my coworkers for their hard work and dedication. Together we can and will change the world. [–]v1- 25 points 1 hour ago Agreed with your point about bitcoin changing your outlook on life. For my whole life, I was content to sit in my room. I knew all of the problems of the world, but I didn't know of a way to solve them. I thought that my best bet was to just live as an outsider until I died. But Bitcoin showed me the power of an idea. A small amount of code can change the world. I mean completely change the world. The implications are amazing. This is way beyond things like Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc. As a result, I am completely and fully engaged in life now. I now understand the power of ideas, and the power of technology. I have opened my mind to all sorts of things that only Bitcoin could have introduced me to - financial things, economic things, political things, etc. I am at least 3 times more alive than I was before I found Bitcoin. We are on the brink of something major here. The price is irrelevant. I am not sure how to sleep at night anymore. Sometimes I wonder why other people are so content to go about their day to day activities like nothing is happening. In any case, the fact that you brought up biology made me remember this post: http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/1vuaqv/ltc_dude_here_i_love_you_guys_crypto_blows_my/ Ignore the dogecoin slant, and read it as a thought on all cryptocoins. It's quite a profound post. [–]futurebound[S] 7 points 1 hour ago I think we're all experiencing this tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip_of_the_tongue). We know that something is here and we're searching for the ways to articulate it to others. [–]v1- 5 points 1 hour ago Yes exactly. I actually feel that way about a few things in my life. It's gonna be tough but I want to find a way to use my knowledge in certain areas to help impact the world positively. But, Bitcoin comes first. I am not greedy, but financial freedom gives one the free time to pursue crazy ideas. [–]mehoor 5 points 43 minutes ago Bitcoin is character building. It's made me call out the bullshit that blights daily life like never before. [–]futurebound[S] 1 point 7 minutes ago I've read several articles explaining the concept. Here's one: http://letstalkbitcoin.com/bitcoin-and-the-three-laws-of-robotics/#.UvFsn_vWrTo Basically I'm a share holder, so I increase the wealth of the corporation. I also contribute to advertising by explaining Bitcoin to other people and I participate in discussion in the subreddit. It's interesting because you could almost say that I get paid to do it if the value rises. The best part about it is that the economic incentive aligns with my ideals and a world with a superior technology.

Saw this in the lobby of my business school (i.imgur.com) submitted 9 hours ago by borrakkor  [–]fakejournalist1 76 points 9 hours ago You should ask him specific questions on how Bitcoin works and then heckle him when he can't answer. [–]fakejournalist1 64 points 8 hours ago Go over his previously written articles (they're all anti-bitcoin and easy to find with google news search) and quote him on retarded things he's claimed and ask him to expand on those quotes. Then correct his rear end. Or if you want to troll, just make him double down on a wrong statement and act as if you're on his side and that this whole bitcoin thing is really scary. [–]HawaiianDry 12 points 5 hours ago You tell this guy that as a former Lambda Psi chapter president, I'm ashamed that he would resort to these scare tactics. Tell him that Deltasigs are supposed to hold themselves to a higher standard. [–]freedom-d 6 points 4 hours ago Well since you have an indirect connection why don't you schedule a meeting with him. Ask why he is anti BTC and, irregardless of the current BTC economy, ask him about the tech itself. My brother is a financial planner and very conservative financially. He is so anti BTC and was really worried about me in Dec. I've been slowly having these talks with him. He'll come around eventually. [–]MeanOfPhidias 19 points 5 hours ago Ask him to describe in technical detail how transactions work. Gets new people every time Edit: Here are some more Ask him to explain eliptic curve cryptography and its application in Bitcoin Ask him to explain the Byzantine General's problem and how Bitcoin addresses it Then ask him about deflationary currency as a store of value. Basically he will have just explained why Bitcoin is awesome. If you pull that off kudos [–]USheep 4 points 5 hours ago Bring a camera or someone that can record him answering questions on their phone. [–]PotatoBadger 4 points 4 hours ago Ask him questions that make it sound like you're on his side, then question his incorrect answers. What are some of the things Satoshi Nakamoto could do to manipulate Bitcoin when it gets big enough? He could print more bitcoins. Don't the majority of Bitcoin users, miners, and merchants have to reach consensus on such a protocol change? Uhh... [–]ThePiachu 1 point 37 minutes ago You could try asking him about how the banking system works and why in the age where we can stream gigabytes of data across the globe instantly it takes a bank transfer a few weeks and $10++ to clear. Or perhaps how many fiat currencies have been inflated into extinction. Or why the us is using a currency issued by a private company (federal reserve - it's even on the notes) rather than minting its own money. Etc. etc. Prepare a few questions that he might not be prepared for and put him on the defensive, rather than let him take over the debate and put you on the defensive for things you might not be prepared for. [–]polycoin 4 points 4 hours ago Totally unprofessional and un-professorial. As an educator, which he claims to be, aren't you supposed to just state the facts without personal bias? Shame. [–]iooonik 4 points 4 hours ago Ask him how he manages to get paid for this poo poo. Seriously, going around and bashing new technologies constitutes a job these days? [–]gkrizek 4 points 4 hours ago I wish something like that would come to my school. I would be that rear end in a top hat that asks him questions he can't answer or ones that destroy his point. [–]vandeam 7 points 8 hours ago i would steal that sign.. it would be worth alot of money in 5-10 years.. when bitcoin replaces USD.
