ThickAsThieves: 5) Mt. Gox is certainly not a martyr, but it would be hard to argue that we aren’
t "taking one for the team" as far as Bitcoin is concerned. We are a big target, and are absorbing the frustrations of Bitcoiners, regulators, banks, and a media that still doesn'

Namworld: If douglus doesn'
t get 100% of profits to put back in the bankroll, it keeps him from raising it if no new investors come in. And investors get away with most of the profits.

t maximize Doogs profit
Bugpowder: this is why he hasn'
t responded to the competition.
furuknap: I'm sure it's great. I don'
t gamble so no worries, just wondered what the dooglus was up to :-)

furuknap: If you can at most get 10K BTC at $10, you won'
t invest that.
furuknap: They don'
t, but those that get BTC will pay in $ so the exchange rate matters to the extent that it affects whether someone will invest the $200 million required to keep the current hash rate growth up until February 2014.
jcpham: i don'
t think it's possible to predict or factor
furuknap: It must, or someone will have a rude awakening in 2016 if the block reward doesn'

furuknap: [17:10] <furuknap> In fact, I'd buy TAT.VM now if I had spare cash, but whatever you do, don'

t get yer hopes up yet.
furuknap: In fact, I'd buy TAT.VM now if I had spare cash, but whatever you do, don'
t listen to me, I'm not qualified to give financial advice.
furuknap: I do. It may have dropped after I announced my asset and DMS.Mining took a hit from doubled exposure and the huge DMS.Selling dividend. However, my asset won'

t have a clear USD value until they're sold. They still tax barter.
peterl: I don'
t think any of the current exchanges do 1099s yet
Namworld: Bitcoiners should just build a floating fortress and anchor it in the middle of the international waters. There, problems solved in the utopia of Liberty Island, where libertarians and trolls abound. (P.S. Please don'
t sign me up for it)
jurov: don'
t worry, they'll make the jump for you ;)
jurov: and i wouldn'
