It is called LTC.
Bitcoin is Litecoins test trial.
what's so "lite" about an almost 3 GB blockchain grown in a short amount of time without even a SatoshiDICE?

While German news that Bitcoin can be cashed out after one year of holding (instead of paying 25% of taxes) is a bullish news for me, it could also mean that people that were thinking about sneaking out their early adopter coins now openly sell them via gox which would be bearish. Make of it what you want, for me it's definitely mid term bullish.

Sorry, but no.
Anarcho-syndicalism = workers control the means of production. You work in a factory - you control directly the production process, you participate directly in the decision making and you OWN the fruit of your labour.
Communism = social ownership of means of production. It might seem similar, but its not at all - as a worker you do not "own" the means of production nor the fruits of your labour in a communist system, the "society" does, which basically means that the State owns them. That's why Bakunin said communism was going to be "the biggest lie of the Century", and it even said communism was just a form of "state capitalism", as the worker did not control the means of production nor the fruit of his labour. An exception would be Pannekoek's council communism, which was totally opposed to russian bolshevism, and was in many ways much closer to Kropotkin's and Bakunnin's anarcho-communism.
And again: Bitcoin is just a currency, and it has no political sign - but saying is "anarcho-syndicalist" is simply wrong. Most of original anarchists (or "left" anarchists, as some would say, especially in the US) wouldn't even use money as we know it (an exception would be Proudhon's mutualism), in fact during the most relevant anarcho-syndicalist experience in history (Aragón, Spain: 1930-1938) the "Peseta" of the Spanish Republica was not used at all. They had no currency nor legal tender, they just seldomly issued their own "money" which were just vouchers or IOU's with very specific uses. And BTW: anarcho-syndicalism is just a WAY or STRATEGY to reach "anarchy", or "anarcho-communism" or "libertarian communism", as many US folks like to name them to distinguish them from their very own, ill-named "anarcho-capitalism")
Fascinating experience BTW (the one in Aragón), it was a pity that both the spanish fascists and the KPSS (Russian communists) joined forced to crush what could have been one of the most relevant and game-changing revolutions in Europe's history.
Sorry of the OT, folks.
quite exactly, and fuck OT, everyone must have watched this at least once:

Say this again, but this time could you pretend you're talking to a smart 6 year old, please?
(or: How would one errantly restructure a lower-classed systemic risk, if I got that right)
The wise trader these days will always cover subordinate-rated asset pools.

OK, so you're kicking PPC and Ripple into a lower tranche just because they look funny? (that's a joke)
Actually, that helps, thanks. I get the subordination part, after looking a brief glance at this (

Maybe

Bitcoin does not need regulations. Bitcoin has got it's own regulations embedded, with consensus from its community. We do not need governments...
... ok, maybe governments might be of help to take care of scammers and dishonest people, but ONLY when the community chooses for the "Government path": in this case, all Civil and Criminal Laws already existing around the world is enough.
(edit: Bitcoin may only opt for "government regulations" if the community decides to please them, and not to "despise" them...)
I already commented this
for a recent article:
Something like Bitcoin in this historically correct context is even more interesting, as money hitherto was always a thing enforced and organized by a governmental authority (yes even gold and silver, as said). Bitcoin lacks contractual enforcement so far. We can have "smart contracts" all we like, but it's just information; if you actually want to chase and catch people like pirateat40 or TradeFortress, you need an executive force. That's an important aspect of the regulation question. That's the deal today's governments are offering: if we are supposed to chase fraud in Bitcoin, then we want and need to have control over that thing.
So it is very interesting how this deal will turn out.

there remains no doubt that any Bitcoin transaction (just like any other agreement, oral or written) DO have "contractual force" per se.
yes but you can't have your cake and eat it too.
Maybe you should rather see a government as a mafia, as it in fact is. Protection money is called protection money because it offers that: protection. For that, they expect loyalty.
Now if you invent something like Bitcoin to bypass their infrastructure, but still you want their protection, it's an uneven deal (for them).

RT aka Russia Today isn't an official, mainstream media outlet, although it does receive some funding from the Russian state. It mostly merely focuses on uncovering the lies in the west, demoralizing it.
