two
things can happen, Guess What Happens Next: you could
tell
the

the drug is is no longer relevant, it is
the fact of

the 20th Century, Jomo Kenyatta, and
the other entangles a key
tribal rival

the critical end
to a long bloody struggle for Kenyan independence from white colonial rule."

mircea_popescu: "In America, everything is a commodity, everything has a price. So when post-gold standard capitalism gets access

took a decade but
the system worked: Howard Stern was

think it's clear now
that actually getting Bitcoin
to
the fabled seven
transactions per second will be a lot of hard work, unless someone comes up with a new SatoshiDice like business model
that results in huge demand for
