mircea_popescu: i don't follow benkay ?
mircea_popescu: if he doesn't trust me that's pretty much of no import. if i don't trust him that's a serious impairment on his future.
mircea_popescu: "From what I've googled, I understand that scalping helps lower spreads but ultimately, aren't you just betting upon a upward or downward price movement?"
thestringpuller: As if Victoria Secret doesn't have that market seized already...
mircea_popescu: i don't see what regulations they would be breaking.
thestringpuller: pay via a server in africa I wouldn't think so...
thestringpuller: troc: wouldn't that depend on where you pay from?
thestringpuller: i didn't know they had video games in romania
thestringpuller: Okay maybe arrogance isn't the proper word.
thestringpuller: but people who say, "I don't need to learn math" end up coming up short when you give them money to do business.
mircea_popescu: "i'm too cool to suck cock" "i don't need to learn math" "why should i stop for red lights" etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: try it yourself, it isn't hard
thestringpuller: don't subscribe to the NYT
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu wouldn't you say this quote also applies to Paul Graham? >> " the crappy start-ups that got funding at high valuations are struggling and are unable to get Series B funding, dropping like flies, creating a tech bubble"
mircea_popescu: !t m ^oix
mircea_popescu: of course +r has the disadvantage that all the noob chicks wanting to go topless mpoe-pr keeps sending over won't be able to get it anymoar.
mircea_popescu: i don't have ops lol
mircea_popescu: i kinda don't like these "let's do something everything" affairs tbh.
mircea_popescu: what do you mean sorry lol. if you hadn't said anything it'd still be there lol
mircea_popescu: customers don't want their car impounded.
mircea_popescu: yet afaik the girls haven't figured out bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: i mean, if he didn't sell in a panic back in march when btc collapsed to 50,
mircea_popescu: there. if he didn't sell during the collapse, he has some coins bought at 70ish
mircea_popescu: he doesn't really sound like that to me, but hey.
mircea_popescu: i just don't get it.
Luke-Jr: don't need to make them
jurov: ;;later tell mircea_popescu "mpbor says 12%, but i received 12.5% on bonds. i don't mind but deprived will likely find out :D"
mircea_popescu: !t m ^oix
ColdHardMetal: I'm just content that the legal action isn't being based just on the fact he was handling BTC.
mircea_popescu: he didn't report it as undue with the bank or anything, he's in.
usagi: I'm really suprised they would put him on live, having done TV a few times. They don't do that ever.
KRS1: wtf he can't talk or is something stuck up his ass
mircea_popescu: !t m ^oix
mircea_popescu: !t m ^oix
mircea_popescu: !t , ^oix

mod6: can't just do an otc trade with someone?
gribble: mircea_popescu was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 7 hours, 50 minutes, and 17 seconds ago: <mircea_popescu> don't worry, it;'s coming
jurov: SlipperySlope, don't know. I was asking mp here awhile ago, no reply yet.
unbalanced_: I fig'd I'd ignore you then but couldn't resist. Added a smiley so you know I'm not a deliberate asshole.
unbalanced_: So some people won't, and "legitimate" businesses will
mircea_popescu: don't worry, it;'s coming
unbalanced_: No surprise there, these are not new rules. Nice to get an opinion from the CRA them though so people needn't stay away from Bitcoin due to FUD.
mircea_popescu: (he doesn't call it bitcoin of course)
ColdHardMetal: oh yeah? hadn't noticed it before.
Cylta: but there was N section (for next month), and they should be transported in T section... but okay, i get it.
toffoo: and like evoorhees owns the other 90% but can't sell or something?
Namworld: But how much shares were sold doesn't matter
toffoo: right, seems the real answer isn't exactly straightforward ...
KRS1: mine wasn't bad until i went back and forth too many times..if they rate in there i'm doomed
KRS1: Holy shit maybe I shouldn't have fucked with him so much..a thousand dollars is a lot of loot lol
mircea_popescu: "Trading what? Most traders I know don't know shit about trading something as volatile as this. Reading through, people appear to not understand how futures and options work, and now they are learning, are annoyed at their own ignorance."
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves noticeably jrowens doesn't have one
mircea_popescu: A crime how, exactly? You do know what a bucket shop is, right? And you know why they aren't allowed in a regulated market?
jcpham: isn't that wild?
jcpham: oh i'm not saying he wasn't
mircea_popescu: joeykrim they don't listen so well do they.
jcpham: doesn't surprise me
pizzaman1337: mircea_popescu: I had some BTC deposited as surety for some old options contracts at $75, but it doesn't seem like I got it back
troc: aren't sessions are too late to benefit of blockchain spam. SD proportion of transactions is going down. perhaps sessions to increase site stickyness
mircea_popescu: jurov i srsly don'ty understand why that forum thread isn't good.
jcpham: it's funny coming froma guy who basically doesn't run a site with any rel backend
mircea_popescu: because blogs forums and news sites + email skype and whatever aren't enough
mircea_popescu: i'm sorta preparing a bucket of lulz for the first contractual dispute which won't be resolvable for lack of an actual contract.
ThickAsThieves: at 1.3, isn't it gonna take like a year or something to get that much in divs?
jurov: plus i don't have anything to declare recently anyway
jurov: you can't access it?
jurov: oh at least slovakia can't collapse. cuz slovak banks all collapsed long ago, all we have are foreign subsidiaries
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla he hasn't figured out the fork yet.
mircea_popescu: btw, if anyone doesn't know Girlfawkesy, she's an actual girl. send her all your btc.
mod6: i dont see the $5 level as a peg, it certainly wasn't stated anywhere, it was just suppression, and undervalued
mod6: there isn't any reason that there should be a price peg for such a thing. And besides what would be the point of options on bitcoins if the price was pegged?
mod6: I liked him better when he only mentioned Bitcoin once in a while.. when he got all "bitcoin jesus" on everyone I'm like, you're not helping, you're just pushing people into something they don't understand yet.
mircea_popescu: course the retards that follow him can't remember 15 days ago so it's all good.
jcpham: he doesn't understand yet
jcpham: i know you want to be better than him but you can't
jcpham: if you haven't been paying attention
jcpham: i don't even
MJR_: i don't know
mircea_popescu: i won't be there to see it likely, but anyway.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: AFAIK you don't have a monopoly on PGP
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there could be logical reasons for starting one's own "MPEx, with blackjack and hookers." Say I want to use evil altchains. And, AFAIK MPEx shares are non-voting, so it isn't that I could buy enough of them to make MP do this deed.
mircea_popescu: ezdiy that absolutely isn't the rationale.
benkay: most don't even buy the medallions
benkay: mircea_popescu would be only too happy to have more traders on his exchange, he just doesn't want to deal with the riffraff. he wants others to aggregate riffraff orders and place them on MPEx.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't have a problem with rickshaws per se.
asciilifeform: MP has said, in essence, that he doesn't want MPEx to become a Shanghai crawling with the equivalent of rickshaws.
asciilifeform: Were it not for medallions, NYC would probably look like Shanghai (rickshaws, etc.) I'm fine with that, but the rulers of the place evidently aren't
benkay: and yet vipcoin doesn't break top page google
benkay: except that the bureaucrat doesn't own the medallion organization, the mob does
Technologov__: But isn't bitcoin-assets all about investing ?
Technologov__: so you don't need to waste time/lectricity/head-ache, customs bureaucracy and so forth
Technologov__: come on... it is all about mind-set. Don't needs to be rich ^^
jcpham: nah pool won't accept a share for shit
BTCOxygen: Also they don't list blocks properly.
mircea_popescu: you telling me 5 avalons doesn't get you in the list ?
BTCOxygen: I don't want to do the math its painfull.
Scrat: but that doesn't make it anymore viable
imsaguy: Technologov__: mining pool software is prepackaged these days. it doesn't take rocket science to run it.
imsaguy: Well, technically, they don't even need that.
