mircea_popescu: and he doesn't.
mircea_popescu: o wait no, he can't short it cause i have money.
Namworld: that they are or not doesn't change the dividend per share...
mircea_popescu: so mpoe is becoming / became already the t-bills of btc.
mircea_popescu: the only reason i own 88% of mpoe is tghat i didn't sell more.
mircea_popescu: your argument cvhanged from "i can't verify the identity of users"
mircea_popescu: i don't need to persuade you that btc is worth something, or that mpoe is worth someting.
mircea_popescu: and to be clear : tyhis isn't a "case" im making. this is a political statement.

mircea_popescu: yeah but as i said above, "<mircea_popescu> toffoo yea well, i wouldn't borrow mystical "asciminer" shares. i'd borrow actual tradeable instruments."
mircea_popescu: yes well that doesn't work too well for contracts.
toffoo: so you didn't sell the shares you borrowed?
mircea_popescu: Bowjob i wouldn't be borrowing btc to unheard of ppl.
toffoo: it was the cp risk considerations that I didn't like
mircea_popescu: well as a rule of thumb, if loaning them isn't a good idea selling them usually is a good idea.
