It's dangerous, deceptive, and regressive. It shows that it's fine to circumvent facts because they are uncomfortable, or don't line up with how an individual feels. What are your thoughts on this travesty of a social movement?

I think... I think someone needs to call someone. This could prove to be a monumental discovery.

I don't know

then why are you posting?

All I know is that every actual bitcoin is represented physically.

Can you give me an example of something that isn't represented physically?

No.

Then this entire discussion is obviously redundant.

Usually an HDD or SSD.

Are they the only media that can be used to record a bitcoin?

Your wallet has the encryption keys. The blockchain has the addresses, and everyone mining bitcoins has information on every bitcoin transaction through the blockchain. That's how a transaction is verified as legitimate.

"Physical" for the purposes of this argument should be defined as something that is tangible; something that you can pick up and show to someone, not an electron. Discussions like this aren't meaningful unless you're in law school or something.

By that logic, you breathe disassembled lead.

Only if the air you're breathing was lead at one point in time.

I' sure there are minuscule particles of lead in the air you're breathing. Every breath you probably breathe an at least an atom of a dead king's foreskin too.

The administrator behavior here is far superior to that of the old forum. As for my opinion, I don't really care whichever way you go, as long as the banned entity has a way of disputing the ban with the mod/admin team.

It looks like the scientific community think climate change is related to human activities.

It probably is, if even just a little bit. But so what? Instead of bitching to everyone about it, they can get their asses in the lab and fix it. In the meantime, all of us regular people can just be more aware of, and try to limit the amount of energy we consume.

Kaspersky Pure exists for Windows noobs. Or you could just buy a Mac and you'd have the most stable and fun to use OS in existence.

Rather than tax fuel, governments should concentrate more on subsidizing the research and development, as well as implementation of alternative energy vehicles. While this certainly isn't the best method of getting things done, it is a lot better than taxes, which, even if they are on the company as you suggested, get pushed to the consumer regardless.

Enter: ExxonMobil, Halliburton, and Super PACs.
