great writing, I was in the same position as a government employee who HATED his boring pointless job. Didn't follow this same path, but for the past 2 months have finally gotten back to doing what I love.. it's a breath of fresh air.
This is where your failing to understand what bitcoin is, makes you look like a fool. Bitcoin first and foremost is a PROTOCOL.. just like TCP/IP.. it is not the coins people are trading. The idea behind bitcoin and the ledger system was that it would be used to create further technologies that relied on the bitcoin PROTOCOL not the currency.. It also solved the two generals problem which stumped computer scientist for decades. The currency was just the first use of the bitcoin protocol.
this is why patents have become a complete joke.. really a patent on which the angle of a camera records something inside a square room? REALLY!? wow.. lol
all he needs to do is look at what HSBC chiefs did to prevent from being prosecuted.. this is the messed up part.. kim dot com pirates a few files and gets a swat team.. HSBC launders BILLIONS and gets a party..
the majority haven't been looking for work.. I was long term unemployeed.. I sent out a minimum of 10 resumes everyday until I got a job.. it paid shit, but at least i was no longer on the tit of america.
The problem with long term unemployment is the same issue I ran into the other day on an elevator.. One girl asks another girl, "did you get a job yet?" the girl responds, "Giiiirrrrrl, da gubament gonna give me 2 hundred dollas a week, why i gonna get a jerb?"
Get em off the tit and get em working or they starve and die.. either way win win for us all.
i'm going away from apple products as a developer due to apples fierce decision to not let me decide how I want to use the hardware I bought. No bitcoin, can't run a live USB unless it contains OS X.. all bullshit. Looking to offload my Macbook Pro and iPhone 4 as we speak and going back to linux + droid. Have been a LONG time apple user but their continued hostility and undercutting of developers ideas at the expense of developers is crooked.
Anytime someone comes up with an extremely good app.. It magically becomes part of iOS leaving that person high and dry. Done. With. That. Shit.
ahhh, the crushing of creativity by the US Government.. America will end up in the dark ages at this pace.. gotta love government stealing everything they can get their hands on.
