pankkake: well he couldn't continue
jurov: why? atlantis didn't provide escrow service?
pankkake: doesn't make much sense
phungus: !t btctco bitvps
dexX7: hm. if you have a choice (e.g. using fiat instead of coins), i agree. if it's foreseeable that they rise more, i'd probably hold, too. but you don't know it for sure thus i assume there will be some balance at where people start to spend/stop to hold
pankkake: why wouldn't I simply consume when I need to?
b0n1: I am afraid I don't understand it so far to understand why the mentioned deflation can't occur
dexX7: hi b0n1, i can't give you a sophisticated answer, but you may start here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Deflationary_spiral

mircea_popescu: they demand that they immediately get moar moneyz for being poor and also the finding and punishing of all those that didn't give them more moneyz for being poor earlier.
jcpham: my mom can't fuck the internet
mircea_popescu: besides, people who trust no one don't tend to get enough sleep. people who don't get enough sleep fuck up. ergo...

mircea_popescu: nanotube it's really not that bad, taking advantage of the offtime to do a laundry list of n things that needed to be done but well we can't do cause offline.
nanotube: well, i assumed that much, though i didn't /know/. :)
mircea_popescu: i happen to use different processes for keyring pw and nickserv pw. i guess this isn't necessarily true for everyone

pankkake: 7% in a few days isn't "too low"
mircea_popescu: I have insider info and they WON'T deliver in September. Again: best case scenario beginning of October. To the guy who asked why I don't bet big to NO: because the risk/reward is too low for me, and I mean that the risk of trusting a substantial amount of coins to a third party (BITBET) opaquely operated by a scumbag (Mircea Popescu) is not worth the risk given the low odds (EG: betting 100BTC to NO pays 107.49182167

mircea_popescu: Scrat im not sure the protocol couldn't be salvaged into something useful
mircea_popescu: somebody's gotta do it tho. preferably somebody with a clue, and who isn't a "ceo".
