jurov: MJR__ i don't get it too. what information do you have that convinced you it's certainly legit?
mircea_popescu: MJR__ torbroker has carefully avoiding making plain the fact that all customer positions are loans to it.
mircea_popescu: MJR_ does this thing purport to be a bitcoin busienss ?
mod6: (10:30) < MJR__> I would say that torbroker seems definitely not fraudulent << i read about this. sounds great until they scam out like TorWallet
mircea_popescu: MJR__ were you here when we discussed with cads something similar yest ?
jurov: MJR__: the trust was bootstrapped upon mircea having workable scheme from MPOE

mircea_popescu: MJR__ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=110861.msg1227871#msg1227871
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he's more (vaguely) Slavophilic than pro-Soviet.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you found the "collapse gap" piece interesting, read Orlov's full length discussion "Post-Soviet Lessons": https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M56LtVzVcYJSMGKm5CV2RcePETqK1BwvF-Pb5AkdTXM/
jurov: MJR__: yes he had, but it's not total score that counts

thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: it seems you are opposed to a ratings agency for BTC
jurov: MJR__: you can push to escrow and show receipt
mircea_popescu: MJR_ no, not similar. very very dissimilar.
jurov: mircea_popescu ah yes that's a point. it's hard to do irl without revealing identity to escrow

gesell: mircea_popescu: thanks. will look deaper
mircea_popescu: MJR__ the issue are not the parties themselves, but the escrow. that's the leak here.
jurov: MJR__: but the irl stock have to be on some irl account, not somewhere anonymously in the air
mircea_popescu: MJR_ escrow is for btc ?!

abracadabra: MJR_ link?
MJR__: especially with S.DICE T_T
MJR__: mircea_popescu: almost nothing is a "ponzi", as it refers to a specific sort of scam. if we are conflating that term with tulip mania or bubble, then most things are...the only difference in them is the probability that they become unpopular
mircea_popescu: MJR_ ya well not everything that relies on trust or appreciates in value is a ponzi.
mircea_popescu: <MJR__> ThickAsThieves: it is ponzi mode << no it's not.

Ukto: mircea_popescu: keep in mind, I host and help with ozcoin :)
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu you want even more cofulzed ppl ? :)
Ukto: mircea_popescu: all pools did not set 1mb max txn lists
Ukto: mircea_popescu: no idea. blockchain.info is up to date
Ukto: mircea_popescu: based on what you said, pools would be idiots to not include sorted by fee.
Ukto: mircea_popescu: the issue is that none of the pools currently prioritize by tx fee rate
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: yes which is why as youve stated the presence of big players (as yourself) keeps the economy from having a complete collapse. i pose a scenario where the noobs become educated. what occurs when the economy is composed of more competency?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: you said in your article "The situation in the market was becoming macroeconomically concerning, in the following sense : major holders were done selling, the vast majority of trading action consisting of trades among newcomers brought in by the recent significant press exposure" it seems noobs were about to cause a bubble and if left "unkempt" the herd mentality could cause catostrophic issues to
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: your article is intriguing
benkay: mircea_popescu: i advocate that perspective daily
