Thank God the US Government has DWB's posts on GFY to tell it what to do.

Sorry, fresh out of Molotov cocktails. Guilty as charged. But I'll be sure to stock up upon my next visit to the USA so I can be part of the "doing something about it" group. Because deep down I'm ready to sacrifice my freedom and lay down my life for Bitcoin. Whoo-rah!

100% wrong use of the link. It would be useful if I attacked OP or nathan. I "attacked" bitcoin and said its not a "currency".

How dumb do you have to be to actually believe theres something.......worth something.. with bit coin? I mean I know that you can invest, and sucker fools into believing that.

but i consider myself to be of average intelligence and to read all of these posts with people who are convinced...

I hope you guys are just talking shit so you can make a return on your silly investment

Ad hominem

Ad hominem

Ad hominem

You're right. We attack at dawn.

Besides the two of us, who else is there?


Thank God they don't need to read my posts to know what to do. They are pretty efficient without me, but thanks for the kind words.

The problem is that the average person is illogical.

There is no winning a debate agasint the illogical.

ad hominem would be if I used these words against Nathan.

If I say something like: Those who think world will end in 2013 are idiots. Its not ad hominem, not even close.

Ad hominem is when somebody makes a statement and you attact that somebody instead of his/her statement.

BINGO :thumbsup

Yes, actually calling someone an idiot is exactly what an Ad hominem is.

Not exactly. If I called person whom I quoted an idiot - that would have been ad hominem in this case.

If I say - people who jerk off in public are retards, its hardly ad hominem.
If I say - people who think that 2+2 = 5 you are morons, its hardly ad hominem.

You can push it to being ad hominem, buts its really pushing to it...

Now if you say : people who think 2+2 = 5 are smart ones and I say "YOU are retarded", then its ad hominem. But if I say "No, theese people are idiots", then its not actually ad hominem. See the difference between those two?

It doesn't matter who its directed at or if they are present. You know this.
You're just doing mental acrobatics to protect your ego in public.

You may be wrong, but I don't think you are a moron.

You are wrong, because you think that ad hominem is merely calling someone an idiot. Its not. Ad hominem is WHEN YOU ATTACK SOMEBODY INSTEAD OF HIS ARGUMENT.

2 situations:

a) I say: people who think 2+2=5 are idiots

b) Somebody says: 2+2=5. I respond: you are an idiot (instead of arguing his argument I attacked him personally)

b is ad homonem, a is not.

Merely using word idiot is not ad hominem.

What you are saying is ridiculous.

It's like like saying if I talk shit when someone leaves the room I'm not talking shit becasue they didn't hear it.

Of course Bitcoin has value that is intrinsic due to these 2 facts:

A. It takes work to get.
B. There is a finite supply.

There is nothing in existence that fit these 2 criteria that does NOT have value.

The only variable is confidence, since Bitcoin (and virtual currencies in general) are relatively new to the scene there isn't strong confidence outside the tech world about their survivability. But if you do the research you will find that the players and forces involved pretty much guarantee that virtual currencies are here to stay. Not commenting on the current prices but Bitcoin aint goin away folks.

i don't know man, it takes work for me to take a shit and there is only so much of it but other than currently sober, i can't get anyone to buy it off me.

its gotta be worth something. Youre risking a hernia to produce that. shit doesnt grow on trees bro

i sold my shit if it gets anyworse there goin to be more ddos attacks

I posted this last week right before the crash and it'll be interesting to see how this parabolic chart plays out. I've circled where I believe BTC is now. If it does get below the mean, it should drop below $40.
