Who would have thought that being truly free implied being severely restricted.

I guess you missed the point: it is simple. Laziness is lucrative.

Unless you have a firewall to block normal internet traffic, and only allow tor traffic to go through. In that case, even if your box gets compromized, there is no way of launching a side-channel attack.

I don't see how it is so hard to understand for you, it is very simple, it is a router that connects to tor. It is super practical to anonymize a whole LAN in a single shot.

Maybe his face looks like a slashdot post. You Insensitive clod!

Anonymous is now Pseudonymous

"but if I had any money or a girlfriend I would probably eat out more often"

lol, that explains a lot

exactly this! I am baffled at the level of idiocy, probably it is a politician trying to look cool. Even a high school chemistry student would know this.

What if it is not about turtles all the way, but turtles twisted weirdly. What if there is like a hyperdimensional equivalent of a möbius strip, Klein bottle or... blackholes.

Why on Earth do we have the responsibility to protect stupid people? If stupid people die for doing stupid stuff, it is full-fledged Darwinism. Let nature take its course.

About not being backed by anything. Money is never backed on anything, it is based on only on two things: scarcity and its demand. Period. When the dollar was backed to gold, gold itself was backed on what? The current dollar is backed on promises and debts, which is like building houses on a floating log on a lake, and yet it still holds value because the clueless people give them value.

All the currency system has always been a house of cards, and those who were truly aware of it (bankers) always manipulated it for their benefit ("money multipliers" should ring a bell if you passed economy 101).
The bitcoin brought something truly innovative that the history of human kind never ever experienced before, it is getting rid of the bullshit and truly giving the power back to the people.

You are wrong by saying that it is not backed on anything, it is backed on math and in trusted cryptography. By the way, don't use the word Ponzi if you don't understand what a ponzi scheme is all about, it is not a synonym for con or fraud, it is a very specific type of fraud.
