I said no such thing. Go pick a fight somewhere else, bud.

As much as I hate to see pain and suffering in the world, animals have no qualms about eating other animals alive.

Under the currency reforms enacted by Roosevelt, the federal government owns the gold and holds it as security for $11 billion in gold certificates issued, in book-entry form, to the Federal Reserve Banks. The Federal Reserve Banks use these certificates as a small fraction of the collateral for Federal Reserve Notes.

I'm curious about what, exactly, America will do with a strategic reserve of Bitcoins

The same thing they do with their strategic gold reserves.

At 16kb/s per connection , I think you have to ask yourself if you’re really helping. Have you checked your settings that you aren’t limiting your upload speeds?

Edit: people seem to be offended by this comment, so let me clarify by what I meant with “are you really helping”.

Torrent clients default to a fixed number of peers they download from. If you end up with only 16kb/s connections, you are being limited by those seeders in how fast you can download.

Whereas if there were less seeders but they could provide 1mb/s connections, you are limited by your own internet connection and are downloading full blast.

I hope that clarifies my statement.

If you think that’s bad, some old arcade cabinets had suicide batteries. Their only purpose was to keep a sram chip alive that held a decryption key. Battery dies? No more game for you.

The spines on a buffalo are a lot thicker and shorter. Any muscle attached to the spines of a spinosaurus would snap them in half.
