Frick but I get pissed at snot nosed message board know it alls this late at night when I've been drinking scotch mixed with blackberry moonshine ... no joking.

You wanna have a currency/exchange discussion? Seriously? OK, take it to the OT board son. I'll teach you what I can while my mind and fingers are still working tonight.

have degrees in economics and mathematics, and it's pretty clear that you and whoever made that diagram have little comprehension of math or currency. Don't worry though. This doesn't necessarily mean you are a stupid person. The deficiency may be psychological, rather than intellectual. There is a tendency among most people to subconsciously reject logic and reason when the implications run contrary to what they already believe to be true or would like to be true. It's likely that you're a pretty big fan of having your life controlled by men with large guns. This may be because you are afraid of what the result would be if you were free to run your own life, or it may be because you are a woman. Either way, you have convinced yourself that any world in which your life is not run by other people is sub-optimal, and you recognize on some level that a digital currency makes it more difficult for those people to run your life. You believe, at least consciously, that you are capable of running your own life, and so you reject all of the evidence that suggests that people without guns can run shite other than your life better than the people using guns to force their dictates on others, and instead illogically accept the reverse, which allows you to believe that you are actually being selfless in allowing your life to be ruled by others. The notion that a monetary system can function without any reliance on violence runs afoul of the whole lie on which you've precariously balanced your self-worth, forcing you to pretend that the opposite is true and post stupid diagrams that imply such. If only you believed in your own ability to run your own life, you may well be plenty smart enough to work out the necessary mathematics and economics to understand digital currencies.

Great post, its a shame I can only upvote it once. You want to hear a joke? People control the government by voting. I heard something the other day that the majority of people would be in favor of congress having term limits. So if congress is there to do what the people want, then why cant this ever ever ever ever happen. It wont ever happen. And its because your vote doesn't matter. Just pick one of the colors red or blue, keep your mouth shut, and think what msnbc, cnn, and fox news tell you.

OT board maybe.
