Varoufakis basically went full throttle charm offensive painting himself as a passionate pro-EU, pro statist, anti Greek corruption. "Help us fight Greek corruption and make Europe strong".

Outwardly, much warmer than the meeting with Dijsselbloem the other day, but all the same, he didn't hand Shauble very much meat. What Shauble want is for them to eat their new tranches of debt and that still wasn't on offer. Meanwhile, ECB has let them have Eu60 billion by some back door mechanism, but it might not be enough according to some.

I actually think that Varoufakis is playing a very interesting card. He gives everyone something (even crypto-nerds !) but no-one everything. Nobody knows what his real agenda is. If you take him as face value, it's to catalyse some real economic activity in Greece by revising the terms of their bailouts. At the same time he must know that what he want's simply isn't on the cards without a mini revolution in EU bureaucracy and potential weakening of the "centre".

The problem for the EU beaurocrats is that he's potentially the "real deal" when it comes to European integration - in other words he supports it for the right reasons and believes Europe should work for people as opposed to those who just want to see a consolidation of fiscal and political power and f*ck the "citizens".

Either way, he's a potential unguided missile I think  - not easy for them to control even though he may "think" he's on their side.

...on the other hand, he could just be a total wolf in sheeps clothing about to do a complete sellout of the Greek nation:

It's interesting listening to that discussion he had with Andreas Antonopolis. Very civilised - no mud slinging - but crystal clear that he doesn't believe that cryptocurrencies can remotely replace fiat in their economic function.

He doesn't even believe in a limited supply currency base and thinks that the gold standard "caused" the 1930s depressions.

All the same, he totally "gets" blockchain technologies.

I was with you up until the bolded part. Russia isn't raping anyone. The US though? Here's a fun fact: there are about 196 nations on Earth and in the last 3 years US special forces by SOCOM's own admission have been active in over 150 of them.

Hint, special forces are not deployed anywhere in order to deliver lollipops, cuddly toys and huggles.

Grabbing some

Dont blame you guys, i took another 2  BTC worth when it legged up to 700.. It is very cheap... Or it will look that way very soon

Russia is actually raping Ukraine as we speak...

Just an FYI he  wasn't found guilty for hiring a hit man, those chargers were never brought against him. All the charges he was convicted of had to do with operating the silk road. Whether or not he intentionally hurt anybody in the process is something we will probably never know.

This is not the place to post this kind of political bullsh*t

This is crypto-currency thread, it completely irrelevant to Darkcoin

1) Like taking a piece of land known ac Crymea. (Dont even try to say:"Oh this was Russia all along, if so, then when will you return clay that belongs to Finland?)
2) Bombing hospitals, cities, looting from factories, torturing POWs - the ones that are defending their land.
3) Shooting down planes and blaming it was Ukraine
4) Destroying infrastructure: factories, bridges, roads, airports

You had my respect until you started spouting main stream media propaganda, try looking behind the curtain occasionally eh, have you ever wondered why no one has ever heard what was actually on the recovered black box and why Malaysia was not part of the investigation team even though it was their plane and mostly their people who died despite diplomatic protests?
If you had followed Carlos's spainbuca's twitter live feed like I did, you would have seen what happened as it happened.
And before you say it, Carlos Buca is a well known and much loved Kiev air traffic controller in Spain(or was, had many followers) as no one knows where he is any more.
