Duffer1: bitcoin does it's own thing, altcoins do theirs
altkoin: i think the next leg up in bitcoin will not involve altcoin participation

altkoin: bingoboingo dude how many times are you going to repeat the disease fallacy, there was nobody in north america
Ademan: wow haha what triggered this discussion?
altkoin: everywhere they landed the objective was violence
BingoBoingo: By the time the english land in Massachussets North America had been depopulated by disease
BingoBoingo: Then a few centuries later the spanish land
BingoBoingo: altkoin: I mean they landed in Newfoundland and were repelled by large armies of native warriors
altkoin: like what do you mean by that

altkoin: did they invade florida swamps? or new york forests?
altkoin: there has to be something to invade first.
altkoin: your univerisity tell you that?
BingoBoingo: altkoin: Scandanavians were the first Europeans to invade the Americas. And why weren't they successful?
altkoin: the easiest way to tell if a culture is strong is to look at the art and music it produces, and modern art and music makes you want to puke.
punkman1: re: baby killing, you know people did that because they didn't want their kids to grow up as slaves?
BingoBoingo: Well, I guess Ikea is a thing.
BingoBoingo: I wonder why scandanavian culture isn't much bigger in 'Murica then.

altkoin: protestant reformation started the chain of events that would lead to europes collapse centuries later
altkoin: dude most of their wealth is illiquid
altkoin: europe needs to go back to its pre enlightenment roots if it wants to survive, its been failed utopia after failed utopia in europe since the enlightment, massive wars, genocides

altkoin: the savagery the spanish witnessed was absolutely shocking
altkoin: there was nothing in the US other then nomadic tribes wondering about

BingoBoingo: altkoin: How do you think the Spanish invaded the US so successfully. It was mostly smallpox and demographic collapse.
altkoin: they enter a place, put up a few mosques and turn everything in a huge ghetto
altkoin: well im pretty sure they will just end up kicking all islam out
the20year1: although I think they'll resort to 'traditional habbits' like genocide before it becomes a huge issue
altkoin: yea the US isnt as bad as europe
the20year1: I guess, btu there are still quite a few groups in teh US that are growing reasonably well that are high population producers - latinos and evangelical christians
altkoin: which is tied with economic collapse
the20year1: US is a big place, smallpox might do a decent job, but it'd have to be quite effective
altkoin: its still a gigantic farm to tax
altkoin: the US is not going to face economic collapse for awhile
the20year1: you'd have to invade either from Canada or Mexico

altkoin: its too armed theres like 10 billion in ammo in private hands alone

altkoin: yea i think its still left in some of the none eu areas
