We're launching our own CryptoCurrency, inspired by the beliefs espoused by John Galt and the Members of Galt's Gulch

    Just one of the many services I offer.
    Thank you, I'm here all week.

    BTW: If you ever want to see something hysterical, you & Mr. NMA should come with me & Mrs. E to a Chinese buffet sometime.
    I get a chance to practice the little Mandarin that I know.
    If the waitress has not seen me before, she is shocked and enamored at the same time.
    I have been called out by male friends for flirting with the waitresses in front of my wife.
    (Seriously! I'm only trying to get some immersion practice!)
    I have had waitresses ask me with Mrs. E right there if I could teach them English (I politely refuse).
    BTW, Mrs. E thinks it's cute.

    The actual book quote for #2 was galt's radio address (presumably that would have to be in movie #3), "Get the hell out of my way!"

    We actually recommend you use tor to connect to the galtcoin network. TBH, we'd rather not have your information, you're disgusting enough as is.

    Ok, did you ever see 'A Fish Called Wanda'? Of course you have. Silly question.
    Do you remember when JLC's character swoons over language? This does the same thing! Lol I LOVE it!

    Ah. In that case I would recommend getting a .net and using that instead. With all the foreign scams floating around the internet this .in could come back to bite you over and over again.

    One could argue that gold isn't backed by anything either. Galtcoins have properties resulting from the system's design that allows them to be subjectively valued by individuals. This valuation is demonstrated when individuals freely exchange for or with Galtcoins. Please refer to the Subjective Theory of Value

    Site is in India? No the website is in Colorado. We use .in to complete the galtcoin name for a domain. The site IP is 174.127.108.127, based in the United States.

    BEWARE! The website is in INDIA! You are giving your MAC and other information to an offshore somebody about whom you know nothing.

    Read Deirdre McCloskey's works on BOURGEOIS VIRTUES: reputational gossip is highly salient in a commercial society.

    Who are these people?

    BTW, I am interested in crypto currencies.

    I am an Open Source programmer on *nix platforms.
    I will be taking a closer look at your site.

    This might be better:

    Causā facti cupiditatum eius, homo vivit.
    (For the sake of the achievement of the desires of his own, a man lives)

    Ex meā viā, fugi!
    (Out of my way, flee!)
    (If speaking to more than one person, use "fugete" rather than "fugi")

    I hope that helps, use it if you choose.

    Sorry to be a stickler, but what is the Latin supposed to say?

    A bad translation of "man exists for the achievement of his desires" and Get out of my way
