Many of the Inuit were relocated but they generally were moved South and into communities where services could be more easily provided. These relocations are now viewed as detrimental to the traditional way of life that has been disappearing but it was not Northern relocation to unoccupied areas.

Perhaps, I've never studied it in detail, but I believe it was motivated by demonstrating Canada as the only governmental influence in the area and therefore an excuse to exclude others from the polar areas.

Back to printing your own Bit Money./////

This county in SW Florida has over 100 bit coiners... they meet for coffee and lectures from time to time, but pay for the coffee with Cash I figure if one fairly large county has a hundred bit coiners who traipse out to meetings; there must be alot of bit coin activity going on.

APPROXIMATE mining of bit coins is the most profitable way to do it; allow some errors.

Ethereum, released less than a year ago, has attracted more attention from corporations than any other cryptocurrency since bitcoin. It is the second currency to take it's total net worth over a billion US dollars.

Satoshi Nakamoto has always been part of the problem with Bitcoin when it was developed in 2009. No one knows who he is, and it is rumored that he kept 1 million of the 21 million bitcoins that can exist. A bitcoin is currently worth $415. So he is possibly the most skilled Ponzi operator in history.

Ethereum's creator, Vitalik Buterin (age 22), had a long history with bitcoin, but he is a known inidividual.

Well 'known'? Puppets are "known" too. Very well known.

It seems to have hit mainstream. Governments can no longer stop it so will try to co-opt it.

criminal trial in Miami will turn on whether bitcoin is a currency or not. The defense economist likens the virtual currency to poker chips that people buy.
