I was under the impression that a judge could only pierce the corporate veil if I violate some sort of rule with regards to the LLC; i.e. withdraw / deposit company funds in my name or something like that.

Yeah, but Bitcoin's price is not based purely on logic. It is also based on emotion.

Wait, really? I was under the impression that a college degree for programmers is less important nowadays.

It is impossible to definitively give a reason as to why something as uncontrollable as Bitcoin changes in price.

But yeah, probably.

I grew up in Sunnyvale.

A lot of my friends from high school have part-time jobs / intern over the summer at the startups/companies from where around I used to live...

But I don't live there anymore. And I'm kind of hesitant to move back to Sunnyvale (It is the most boring, soul-sucking place on earth) so I guess that doesn't really count for anything.

Meh.

As a 19 year old programmer who just dropped out, this eases my anxiety. A lot.

Have you checked to see if they're on http://what.cd already? It's the de-facto bittorrent tracker for music. It is possible that many of those clips you have are already on there.

And if not, you could seed them yourself :D

Please, someone, get this trash off of the front page. Not only is this entire article completely content-less, but the number of fallacies in it is palpable.

I wasn't going to waste my time on this, but after skimming for 20 seconds I came to this:

> In many ways, Litecoin is looking like a better investment. For Litecoin it is still early days because the infrastructure is not quite there. However, it looks to be a more promising currency from the technical standpoint, e.g., allowing faster transactions and a longer time until the end of the mining cycle.

Faster confirmations DON'T MEAN SHIT. Just because it takes 2.5 minutes for a Litecoin confirmation doesn't mean it is any better. Yeah, a Litecoin confirmation is 4x faster than a Bitcoin confirmation, but all that means is that a Litecoin confirmation is 1/4 as secure as a Bitcoin confirmation. Which is actually worse, when you think about it because the blockchain is more bloated.

>Its current market capitalization is $215 million, giving a factor of 45 potential growth to simply catch up with Bitcoin.

Are you fucking serious?

Anyone have a mirror for the video?

Wow, that's kind of funny, because I didn't even notice that was gone until you mentioned it. I guess I was so used to it that I tuned it out.
