t be the last.
cazalla: i wish benkay` didn'
t mention alcohol, this hang over tomorrow is going to be awful :\
cazalla: i know that but nigger wasn'
t really the point, it was said we would see a bunch of MPOE-PR facsimiles and what do you know, phinny is spouting at the mouth
Diablo-D3: you don'
t have to be black to be a nigger.
cazalla: i'm drunk but drunk or sober, i don'
t see the connection

t jurov: btw i don'
t get why studios won'
t make the audio descriptions. they can easily become extra revenue source

t mind a drink but cbf walking to the bottle shop
cads: asciilifeform: I don'
t see how anyone could really reveal that they are in fact satoshi
cads: I don'
t understand what you guys are saying - do you guys think the man is the originator of BTC?
mircea_popescu: because "aml", which is to say... didn'
t care to stick its neck out.
mircea_popescu: it simply means that you can'
t find a us bank that'' work with you.
mircea_popescu: This is what oppression often looks like. No one called from Moscow and told this guy to destroy Termen's work. But he didn'
t care to stick his neck out, and took a proactive approach."
dexX7: don'
t forget about all those "this poor guys life is scwered, people will murder him 1000 %" posts
Namworld: Well I hear government backing of a fiat currency gives value, but faith does not give innate value to a fiat like BTC. Apparently if I disagree and claim both are fiat, without innate value and purely faith based valuation, I don'
t know what I'm talking about.
dexX7: at that time about 20-25k btc were on the books.. wouldn'
t have assumed that there was so much sleeping money/coins x.x
mike_c: no point. either he is the guy and deserves some respect, or he isn'
t and you're annoying some stranger
☟︎ mike_c: what are you going to do with them? you can'
t sell them until ipo is off. tough to short if it gaps down.
mike_c: he slit the guy's throat. but the guy didn'
t die and his accomplice finished him off.
mircea_popescu: really badly written, too. "When I first responded to you, I didn'
t think that it would cause people to reach out to me and voice their opinions. I've never been on the internet in my life and I'm not fully aware of the social circles on the internet, so it was a surprise to receive reactions so quickly."
ThickAsThieves: someone should poke them to explain why it happened and won'
t happen again
nubbins`: nobody's getting fired, we're just going to count people, and if you don'
t get counted you're not getting paid
mircea_popescu: like you know... i don'
t think you can find someone doing that in the vc circus if your life depended on it
mircea_popescu: i guess that one had the disadvantage that the entire nonsense needed plane tickets, and newsweek wouldn'
t spring
mircea_popescu: "if you feel like your time is up... don'
t... do anything... call the... "
mircea_popescu: "if there's a robbery don'
t do anything, call the robbery people"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "if there's a fire, don'
t do anything, call the fire people"
nubbins`: federal fisheries minister to angry mob: "i didn'
t take the fish out of the goddamn water"
mircea_popescu: yet he somehow magically doesn'
t understand why satoshi ain'
t talkin' to him no more.
mircea_popescu: "If you come out as the leader of Bitcoin, now you have to make appearances and presentations and comments to the press and that didn'
t really fit with Satoshi's personality,"
mircea_popescu: at least gavin goes on the record saying that he doesn'
t need any money,
mircea_popescu: (i don'
t keep much of an eye on blockchain.info since there exists blockr)
mircea_popescu: hence "<mircea_popescu> and i don'
t think reeses_ is even paying attention anymore."
reeses_: I love that he claims a ccie and ccna and doesn'
t know what ccie stands for
chetty: ha, hasn'
t been a free market in ideas for a very long time
reeses_: I ignore nothing. I just don'
t pay attention.
chetty: no 'academic' would admit things like that, anymore than admit global warming is off. the wouldn'
t get their grants.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic nobody is going
t omake a name for themselves in the current us showing that not beating kids is a wrong thing.
midnightmagic: That is fundamental study design. They don'
t make those kinds of selection bias mistakes in the research on which consensus is formed.
mircea_popescu: children have to be beaten systematically, in which case most don'
t actually even need pyshical contact.
midnightmagic: children do better, perform better, respond better, and grow better when they aren'
t beaten.
mircea_popescu: and so you understand both why you had to be beaten, and why you'll be beating the shit off your kids, too. so they don'
t end up like the retarded us scum.
mircea_popescu: so it's habit, but it's also that once you know things, stupidity appears quite different from how it appears back when you don'
t know things.
mircea_popescu: hey D : someone over there ain'
t doing their job of reading properly.
B007: ofc you can'
t make people read if they dont want to
BingoBoingo: I know a bunch of -assets people's Bitbet payout addresses and this bettor isn'
t obviously one.
mircea_popescu: anyway this shit is pretty epic, it wasn'
t that zeek rewards went under, it's just that he can'
t remember who had 200k btc
BingoBoingo: You still wake up sometimes, don'
t you? You wake up in the dark and hear the screaming of the lambs. And you think if you save poor Catherine, you could make them stop, don'
t you? You think if Catherine lives, you won'
t wake up in the dark ever again to that awful screaming of the lambs.
mircea_popescu: and i don'
t think reeses_ is even paying attention anymore.
copumpkin: it doesn'
t trump that I have to get up for work in a few hours and need my beauty sleep
copumpkin: I don'
t see what the benefit would be
mircea_popescu: which says, don'
t mess with the stupid, his brain's well rested.
mircea_popescu: B007 i have cars, sometimes. i had dozens at some point. i jus' don'
t drive.
copumpkin: and the guy is getting the SEC to drive him there in a car cause he doesn'
t have a car anymore
mircea_popescu: A: Because it wasn'
t on there. It wasn'
t on this database or on this website. It was tracked through a - what was that - not Sales Force. I can'
t remember the name of the website. It was something we just worked out together. And it has a lot of his transactions. This account looks mostly like my stuff.
mircea_popescu: A: I guess Gigavps, but it wasn'
t on Bitcoin Savings & Trust.
mircea_popescu: whatever you do to your resume it can'
t end up worse than that exchange expert guy from a while back
moiety: the wallet not so much, good article. i wouldn'
t have touched it with someone else's anyways
