It ...I wouldn't say that bitcoin is fiat money. It is being created, but at a known rate and is guaranteed to soon have an uninflatable quantity. You could have said gold is fiat by the same definition since people are constantly extracting it out of the ground and increasing its supply. In reality neither are fiat.<br /><br />That being said, back when gold was monetized, the banksters gave it fiat-like properties by multiplying it with notes and accounting entries that they loaned out as money. This is no different than what banks do today, supposedly with monetized government debt as reserves instead of gold, except I suppose now banks are protected from bankruns by the government just borrowing more money, whereas a run on gold would cause insolvency.<br /><br />The interesting thing about bitcoin, besides some of the things you and some commenters pointed out, is that if it gets popular enough, it could easily be hijacked by note issuing banksters and used as reserves to multiply the money supply with, just like gold in the past. It suffers from the weakness that it is hard to functionally represent its value in an inert, physical way, to be used conveniently in local real world marketplaces, and therefore it will create a vacuum for entities to step in, issue notes that are difficult to counterfeit, and promise to redeem real network bitcoins in the blockchain for the pieces of paper at their various convenient branch banking locations near you. It has advantages over gold in that it is easily transported. It has advantages over government debt in that it can't be inflated with QE or the like. <br /><br />Anyhow, this note issuing, money multiplying thing will inevitibly result in the same situation we were in right before 1913, if it is controlled totally by private humans. Unless the big boy banks already have a plan for this (maybe that's the conspiracy), then the little boys will start doing this. Some will go broke because they issued too many notes. They then either simply go broke, or they get acquired or bailed out by another bank and merged with it or owned by it, which makes it bigger, until finally we end up with giant bitcoin note issuing monopolies and cartels like we had with gold right before 1913.thetownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-39356491652246717222013-02-22T01:45:34.793-05:002013-02-22T01:45:34.793-05:00Far too many SO moderators close topics based on s...Far too many SO moderators close topics based on semantics and overly fanatic interpretation of the rules.

BMI, ASCAP, and any other music "licensing" companies ARE a scam..., pure and simple! Because of these legal extortion fees, I can not tell you how many times in the past few years, I have had extreme difficulty in not only booking live gigs for my band, but also booking for the same fee as the last time we performed at any of these venues that are being drained by these fees! Trust me when I tell you, that VERY little of these paid fees are going to songwriters (as they all claim). The fees are going to lobbyists, politicians, and employees of these music licensing companies. It is ROBBERY, and needs to be addressed seriously in state and federal courts! When we musicians perform at local venues, we are actually freely PROMOTING the hit songs of composers and artist, and without this free promotion, the only thing that would promote their music is the radio and paid advertising! Restaurants, Bars, and any local venues that have live music, should NOT be extorted for these greedy and rediculous fees! These licensing companies are killing business and live music for millions of musicians and venues, to serve the greed of a small handfull of individuals that have found a lucrative and easy way to extort money from hard working, and honest business owners.

It is not truly generating energy. Similar to solar powered PV panels, where what is being done is that radiant energy from the sun (free, as in without a realized cost of work) is converted into electricity for what we see as a gain of energy, where what is happening is a CHANGE in the form of energy.<br />Magnetic systems do not create energy from empty space. Magnetic systems utilize the inherent magnetism of our planet. I agree with the idea of what you are calling free energy generators, however calling them free energy generators is partly to blame for the ease of dismissal by mot reputable scientists. <br />Magnetism is obviously a stronger force than our Earth's gravity. We have used gravity to perform "free" work for us for centuries (hydro-power plants, grist mills). The obvious next step is to utilize a more powerful form of energy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18232073356153510348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-2373651079093585272012-10-21T19:18:23.853-04:002012-10-21T19:18:23.853-04:00I also have to chime in on what you wrote about Ma...I also have to chime in on what you wrote about Marc Stevens, which was absolutely false, misleading and nothing short of blaspheme.<br /><br />If you actually took the time to read his book and understand what he talks about, you would know "Sovereign Citizen" argument couldn't be further from the truth.
