Since we're all rich with bitcoins... we ought to put some of
this unearned wealth to good use - Hal Finney -
California Institute of Technology, Engineering 1979

At the World Beyond War peace conference at the American University Center in Washington DC, the Association for Digital Currency enjoyed the honor of introducing Coleen Rowley (retired FBI), Ray McGovern (retired CIA), David Swanson (Conference organizer), Medea Benjamin (Code Pink), Bruce Trautman (Veterans For Peace), and other intrepid peace activists to Bitcoin and digital currency. We offered some BTC to Dr. Jill Stein (MD, Harvard, Green Party), who said she will ask her campaign finance manager to check on it, and contact me. We showed how Coinbase and a Trezor device works and got 53 people started.
Money is a score keeping system to track the goods and services we give to and
receive from other people.
A score board does not have to be made of gold or have an intrinsic value.
It must be mathematically accurate, and not able to be manipulated by any
players.
Bitcoin and digital currency provide this function, on a level playing field.
Monty Guild says "Digital Currency is here to stay"

We could discuss why Bitcoin and Ethereum have enjoyed such support of natural
law. Sustainable digital currency embodies the Qualities of Creative
Intelligence.

King's
College in New York City is the first university in the USA to accept Bitcoins. Here is an article about King's College in the New York Times
www.walmart.com/ip/Butterfly-Labs-Bitcoin-Miner-10-GH-S-Processor-USB-2.0
Unfortunately Wal-mart's miner is a slow piece of junk.
It is only 10 GigaHash/second with ancient 65 nm chips.
Are they kidding? It would take a year to pay for itself.
It is much better to get a 180 GH/s miner for a lower price.
from Association for Digital Currency certified
vendors.
However, we do applaud Wal-mart for being forward thinking.
We recommend the
Bitmain Antminer S3, a 480 GigaHash
per second
Bitcoin miner for $500,
plus $50 power supply
which pays itself off at $5/day
in about 110 days,
assuming the current BTC price of about $600.
GigaHash means billions of hashes per second,
necessary for the Bitcoin network.
A "hash", like a variety of foods, includes a variety of calculations and
functions.
The
Bitcoin mining machines are Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC)
which perform a variety tasks automatically:
* Keeps the Bitcoin network lively on the world wide web
* Helps maintain majority rule of the valid programming code
* Process transactions - buying and selling of products & services
* Makes sure buyer and seller have legitimate 34 character codes
* Prevents duplicate spending of Bitcoin simultaneously
* Compressing and archiving the public transaction ledger
* Creates new coins on a timed schedule towards a max of 21 million
* Encrypts and decrypts transaction transmissions
* Prevents hackers, checks for unauthorized changes to the block chain
* Prevents overspending of accounts - impossible for BTC to bounce
* Sends receipts to buyers and sellers of the Bitcoin transaction.
* All the owner needs to know: the green light blinks as BTC is earned.
The Bitcoin network is programmed to reward miners with fractions of Bitcoins, in proportion to the work done by each machine.

Dave Carlson, and the largest Bitcoin mining farm in America,
generating $8 million in new coins per month, plus earning a percentage from
transaction, through processing fees. His farm is in the state of Washington,
which has the lowest electricity costs from the gravity driven Grand Coulee Dam.
Bitcoin can be easily translated into US$ Dollars through exchanges such as
www.CoinBase.com BTC-U$D ATM machines, and local exchanges. His farm uses 1.4 MegaWatts of electricity/month.
To get started with mining, we suggest the Bitmain Antminer S3

Anonymize your Bitcoin transactions with Bitcoin Fog Company
http://fogcore5n3ov3tui.onion
A sample Bitcoin address is 19XsRPPHNiTaMZwMj1f9acycA1XznDsrbV.
There are upper letters, A through Z, except for O which looks too much like a 0
(zero), and I that looks like a 1, so that is 24 characters.
Then there are lower case a - z, except for l (el) which looks too much like a
1, so that is 25 more characters.
Then there are the numbers 1 through 9. Zero is omitted, which could look
like a lower case o.
So we have 24 + 25 + 9 = 58
Most addresses have 34 characters to them, so that would be
58 ^ 34, or 58 to the power of 34, which is huge.
This is more than 10 to the power of 59, like 1 with 59
zeroes or octodecillion.
100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
There
are about 904 octodecillion combinations
904,798,310,844,703,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
As a memory aid, you could remember an "octopus in December"
The estimated number of atoms in the universe is 10 ^ 82
An octodecillion is a billon x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion.
You can see this more clearly on this table of large numbers.

Paul Krugman has been in academic jobs all his life.
He has never run a business and is not a Certified Financial Planner.
He has no people paying him for financial advice. He is not rich.
Yet the New York Times gives him a column to write. Go figure.

Senate Hearing on Digital Currencies - Bitcoin - November 18, 2013
Money is based on consciousness.
The collective consciousness of a community or nation determines the value of
something as money.
If a sufficient number of people accept Bitcoins, then it is usable money.
If not, then not.
As long as vendors, with something you want to buy, accept Bitcoins, that is
what matters..
The value of BTC is not fixed in stone, or even in gold or silver.
Money is a way of assigning a number to the value of goods and services we give
or receive..
What better platform than a math algorithms stored on a network
of computers?
Bitcoins cannot be counterfeited. Each of the 21 million has a unique
identifier.
There is constant oversight by the network over the validity of Bitcoins being
used.
So everyone will have to provide some useful product or service to get rich.
What is used as money is a matter of the popular vote.

Truth
about Bitcoin Good
interview by Stefan Molyneux
2013-05-07
Barr Chilton, US Commodity Futures Trading Commission calls for regulation of
Bitcoins, if futures on their price is traded, not the Bitcoins themselves.
"Bitcoin is serious, not monopoly money."
http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/2363412452001
At the time, Bitcoins was about $100.
2013-04-16
Bitcoin takes power
from both banks and gangsters
It took experiencing and getting my feet wet for me to "get it"
about BitCoins.
That's why I suggest buying at least a nominal amount at first, such as $100
worth.
My father said "Bit what?" when I suggested he put a small amount, such as
$1000 into his retirement plan.
By next year, everyone will know what a BitCoin is.
November 2013 has been an amazing month for BitCoin.
I cannot think of anything else that went up so fast,
nor any reason it would not reach $5000 eventually. If you can, please let me know.
I am accepting BitCoins for data conversions and rent from my tenants,
and am trying "BitCoin mining" with my
computer network.
I dedicated my C10, a triple core computer, which normally was used for
brute force cracking of databases from customers who lost passwords.
I joined an online pool of miners, and hopefully we will make some Bitcoins.
It seems to have something to do with finding up to 21 million prime numbers.
http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/08/how-to-mine-bitcoins/
Once all 21 million Bitcoin numbers are found, the mining will cease,
and it will become commodity that can no longer be created.
About 12 million have been found now. So I expect the BTC value
to rise greatly after almost all the 21 million have been found.
People have become multimillionaires within a few years in BitCoins.
Here is an article from April when they were "just" $258.
http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-04-10/meet-the-bitcoin-millionaires
That's the bottom line, getting rich, not necessarily in dollars.
We eventually get what we desire, especially during deep meditation.
If our goal is to have "$1 million dollars" what if the dollar becomes
worthless?
We should think in terms of the purchasing power we want, regardless of
currency.
BitCoins are revolutionizing the economy and the way we purchase things.
It helps us realize what money is, in the first place, a way to put a number
on the value of goods and services that we provide to, and receive from, others.
When you buy something with your AmEx, about 3% goes to American Express.
When you buy something with BitCoin, there is no finance fee.
There is great potential when the internet helps cut out another middle man.
I wanted to give my lady a gold eagle, and realize what a pain it is to do so.
I would have to ask (and trust) someone to go to the bank, or fly there.
My assistant would have to open my safety deposit box, not take the other coins,
and send one to me FedEx.
It would cost me $20 if my assistant did it for me, plus $20 for insured
shipping,
thus losing $40. But with a BitCoin, I can simply send her $1250 with my smart
phone.
I thought the Government or Federal Reserve might crack down on BitCoins,
but they did the opposite, by praising them, and not ruling to regulate at this
time.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2013/11/21/heres-how-bitcoin-charmed-washington/
The Government wants to get rid of the $17 trillion in debt, and if the dollar
is devalued,
then it is easier to do that. So other things measured in dollars, such as
stocks,
will appear to go up, even if their true value in buying power is going down.
What can the US Govt do when Bitcoins are popular in China, Russia, and other
countries?
With the internet, Americans would simply make their transactions overseas.
We definitely have inflation. Look at the airline prices.
I used to be able to go to Chicago for under $100. Now it is hard to find
flights under $200.
I used to be able to buy a week of food for $50, and now the Rick Basket it is
$100.
Disclosure:
If you click this link, I get $5 of BitCoins. It won't cost you anything more
