mircea_popescu: mjr_ it's not they could have. they in fact did. (and not the bitcoin foundation either, that's an irrelevant little scam by now)
mircea_popescu: mjr_ but to make that work in the case at hand, parish head told people to vote for x, they did.

nanotube: mircea_popescu: re: sun - the solar radius is about .005 AU, and the coronal edge is about 2 solar radii away from sun surface, according to my googling. so .01 AU for light to get from photosphere to coronal edge.
nanotube: mircea_popescu: heh actually, i should double check that.
nanotube: mircea_popescu: i've got all the planets and other major solar system features all set out, too.
nanotube: mircea_popescu: :)

Lyspooner: you posted not too long ago, mircea_popescu, that these types of monthly gains shouldn't be that surprising if this crazy currency was to become widely accepted
Lyspooner: mircea_popescu, add some strikes, quick
saulimus: Bugpowder_, where was his bid before?
Bugpowder_: jesus. http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD/accumulated_orderbook.png
thestringpuller: Bugpowder_: is a guru listen to him
thestringpuller: Bugpowder_: what's the move? still calls?
mjr_: Bugpowder_: yeah thats what i was thinking
Bugpowder_: mjr_: but deposit requirements increase for puts that are deeper in the money. I haven't yet figured out the optimal play there.
Bugpowder_: mjr_: because the deposit capital requirements for puts are not precisely reported
Bugpowder_: mjr_ selling puts is a little murky
unbalanced: Note: big bubble run-ups *begin* with a lot of media attention. As in, going hyperbolic from *here*. See start of 3rd phase on chart http://people.hofstra.edu/jean-paul_rodrigue/images/bubblesandmanias.gif

mircea_popescu: hi mjr_III
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo_ i'm not really sure it works that way
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo_ which one ?
bgupta: mircea_popescu: This articly sorta matches what I am thinking but it uses the term money instead of currency. http://www.businessinsider.com/is-bitcoin-money-2013-4
bgupta: unless this is wrong http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solidus_(coin)
Ukto: mircea_popescu: correct. :)
benkay: how do those statements accomplish the above, mircea_popescu?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: you can't become wealthy in one lifetime
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: but that's only the case if you pass wealth down throughout generations
benkay: mircea_popescu?
thestringpuller: Why do you always scare off Bugpowder mircea_popescu
bgupta: mircea_popescu: Prolly not.. link?
bgupta: mircea_popescu: Ok let's flip this around. What is your definition of a "good currency"?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: it seems bitcoin is redistributing wealth
bgupta: mircea_popescu: ^^ typo.. anyway, that's not to say it can't grow into a good currency
bgupta: micea_popescu: what is the purpose of a currency? My understanding is that it is to facilitate day to day commerce. Buying eggs and bread and shit, so people don't have to barter. For this purpose, it sucks. Remember the volitility is not just in one direction..
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: I agree with their assesment
bgupta: mircea_popescu: As long as the price remains so unstable it's going to be challenged as a day to day currency.
bgupta: mircea_popescu: Interestingly the author is long btc.. anyway, the point is you don't need to accept that btc has the characteristics that make a currency useful, to see that it is useful. It seems to trade like a hybrid between some collectible, a currency, and a early stage startup's equity.
kakobrekla: O_o
smickles: you really wanna start talking about set theory mircea_popescu ?
smickles: mircea_popescu: well, i gotta complain about something ;)
smickles: < mircea_popescu> <smickles> "1.0 BTC for 0 O.USD.P086T" << you're kinda misusing that. it's not really intended to do 1 contract at a time. do 1k. <<< i'm not sure i'd want to do 1k if i can't predict what i'm going to get out of it
kakobrekla: but anyway https://btc-e.com/exchange/ltc_btc

thestringpuller: mircea_popescu : since mpoe is like "ground" in that option hedges flow to it, one could provide a second tier of insurance to the bondholders. Essentially cutting up the exposure and selling it off...
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu i think you have provided an opportunity given you don't hedge
