Man I wish I could believe in something like anarcho capitalism, but the more I think about it the less I believe it will work. I don't see any way it prevents monopolies or ultimately prevent the use of force. To be perfectly honest, to me it seems to be a just as easily exploitable divide and conquer stage as any.

Somehow I keep ending up back at democracy as the best of the bad solutions, as long as the scale is small enough and you have properly functioning accessible transparent information (supposedly that's what journalism-traders were supposed to be doing originally). While the minority might dislike being forced by the majority, the minority forcing the majority is even worse.

One problem I can't seem to solve with capitalism in general is that I rarely see the people who are actually providing or creating the value being the ones to profit. I haven't managed to figure out a capitalistic system that ultimately doesn't end up being in favor of parasites and malignant tumors.

anarcho-capitalism is an excellent philosophy...i don't know of any more consistent with the highest moral ideal of universal peace. that said, there's no reason to require a 100% solution to all social issues to acknowledge this and to continuously advocate less violence in our society, particularly that caused by bad law.

ancap isn't a complete solution set to all social issues so much as it is a process for how people could pursue peaceful cooperation in a world that's become all too accepting of violence. Rather than thinking in a binary accept/reject framework for translating the philosophy into political ideology, we could simply accept NAP as a guiding principal and focus on where we can apply it to start unraveling the pervasive mentality that force is an acceptable means of organization.

yes BTC and LTC are leading the possible Grexit rally, but that should be a boon for all reasonably useful crypto as people realize the value of keeping capital out of the traditional financial system.

on a personal note, i remember when BTC spiked back in 2013 and it got me more interested in rolling my profits into alt currencies. i think that'll be the case for many other people with this coming crypto bull market and BTS will surely be one of he winners.

yeah, seriously...i think we'd be better off as British colonists. Americans have grown so accustomed to perpetual loss of liberty it's sad...why must peaceful adults continue to take orders from other adults and suffer violence when they refuse?

Stock Market 101 (Chinese Edition)

haha so true!

prediction is one of the hardest things to do with complex systems, like the economy or financial markets. what's certainly true is that risks are mounting and have been centralized/aggregated to an astonishing degree since the last financial crisis; that seems to be the recipe for guaranteeing bigger future crises. timing or describing that crisis is a completely different matter...

all i know is that we should always be ready for uncertainty and remember that our pathetic human minds tend to underestimate risk at the exactly wrong times! we also tend to have an absurd degree of extrapolation bias in mentally modeling future risks on past crises.

Greece is bulgarias primary investor and trading partner. While there are capital controls on greece and they have no access to crypto buglaria has access to crypto through btc-e. There is substantial demand for all crypto on this exchange

yeah excellent point. hopefully the average Greek saw this shit storm coming and prepared appropriately.

wow awesome....looks like the affiliate program is doing the trick

cool I didn't know about shapeshift 

i'm a huge fan of shapeshift.io and use it as my primary crypto exchange mechanism. it's the way assets should be traded and likely the future of exchanges...little reason to park funds on someone else's platform in the 21st century
