liquidassets: Anything BingoBoingo put me to work....
I've been doing summaries of the logs for a few days but wasn't really ready to disclose that, had a few other questions for the core group here about what those summaries should look like
liquidassets: hopefully having something to contribute at some point....everything
I know about computers..which is now barely above nothing..
I learned here first
liquidassets: don't listen to me adlai,
I'm just thinking outloud. What really impresses me is how much work is produced by the people in here.
liquidassets:
I've never done algo trading, it seems like a lot of work especiallyl because 'don't know how to build or fly'
liquidassets:
I assume the point would be to increase your btc or s.mpoe holdings but the assets themselves can't even be priced correctly for the foreseeable future
adlai: well it began by trying to 'trade', but
i realized very quickly that
i have no clue what
i'm doing, and it's much easier to evolve a fleet of drones that do
assbot: Logged on 03-12-2015 16:38:47; pete_dushenski:
i guess the pace of trading is part of the 'feeling' but that alone is not what makes trading s.mpoe worthwhile.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform:
i'd not waste the time.
mircea_popescu: and don't tell me "it ain't like that where
i live". obviously it ain't, and you're an idiot for living there in the first place.
mircea_popescu: altenratively, if
i were a fucktarded bitcoin owner
i could have sold no less than 500 btc to pay for it. and in 30 years
i'd have a great story about how
i sold enough btc to buy nevada to get an apartment in a third world city.
mircea_popescu: so at the end of each month
i got a coupla grand to show for not having been an idiot ; the owner's got some bills.
mircea_popescu: on the other hand, if
i were a fucktarded argentine borrowing for this,
i'd owe ~2.5mn peso principal + 300k or so a year interest + whatever you figure the devaluation risk costs me. over a 30 year period (heh, you gonna work for 30 years ? srsly ?) this comes to at the very least 40k a month. that's just about 2750 dollars.
mircea_popescu: and if you want actual numbers,
i just got a coupla girlies an apt. the sale value would have been
i guess 160-170k or so. the monthly rent is 750. the first month, the washing machine went, and the owner replaced it. the next month, ac went (brother was that an incredible pos job wow), owner replaced it. so far owner's been making 0 from his property.
☟︎☟︎☟︎ trinque:
I see. My line of thinking was that "this expediates the decay of those already rotting, and so what?"
assbot: Logged on 07-12-2015 17:33:37; pete_dushenski: "There's about €3bn of London Club debt "trading" at 15 cents of par last time
I checked. If you find Argentine bonds just not exotic enough" << everyone's an investor eh. p2p lending is da footoor !
mircea_popescu: and
i'm going to ride through detroit atop a tank and shoot tranquilizer guns at anything that can twerk.
assbot: Logged on 07-12-2015 17:26:23; nubbins`: treating drug abuse as crime is maybe the dumbest thing
i can think of at the moment
pete_dushenski:
i've actually been out of practice since fatherhood started, was doing a lunch-time session once a week aimed specifically at office/computer jockeys
mircea_popescu: but
i lol at the sort of idiot who actually relies on THIS for their will.
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: could've also answered, "
i could easily shoot you in the stomach, wanna play chicken ?"
thestringpuller: "
I could easily write you a ticket for going 20 over" "Not without having clocked me. Good luck getting that through court."
thestringpuller: and
I was like "D00d you must have failed physics. My car is built to go 80 in mud, and
I've tuned it for such. Also this is a straight away"
thestringpuller:
I got pulled over going like 60, and the cop was like "
I don't want to have to peel you off that guard rail"
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller:

pete_dushenski: "you're shitting on a goldmine, trebek! if you had a penis mighter,
i'd order a dozen!"
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: or investors read and still figures "hey, there's bigger chumps out there than me!
i won't be the last one standing when the music stops! not this guy!"
thestringpuller:
I abhor cooking, only because

nubbins`:
i buy local not because
i'm a landlord but because
i'm not an idiot

nubbins`:
i'm spending it on my greedy self

nubbins`: "my house is worth 100k and
i owe 200k" "so just rent"

i supposed to be able to change physical features?
mircea_popescu:
