BingoBoingo: Sure mircea_popescu Cyprus banks owe money. Largely on Greek debt among other bad Euro debts. It is just Germany seems to like playing Euro enforcer now that everyone else has made them throw away the sharp objects
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu I do like how accessing his books costs a full share...
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu Do they sell silver that small or is there a swing people aren't showing... Coinabul shows 0.5 BTC for an once of silver... I think Usagi is awfully bullish or lubed numbers up to extract them from a convenient place
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu I think you flipped it, silver is closer to $28/oz last I checed TU.silver had asks at 0.14BTC/Share for an ambiguous definition of share...

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: "The only thing you cannot do with a bayonet is sit on it." (Talleyrand)
kakobrekla: you gotta _do_ something
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this sounds perfectly logical inside your head, until you're outnumbered and outgunned, and down on your knees - ready to please?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I argue that, just as it is better to have a wife who doesn't cheat, it is also good to not be hated. especially if this can be accomplished at reasonable cost.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: its perfect right up to the moment some disgruntled grad school dropout in Mumbair turns loose the superplague.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the most likely conclusion, of course, is that the "hot" side grows lax and lazy from the cheap labour traded for goodies by the "cold" side. and the latter eventually sacks Rome.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the leveling can go in either direction, of course. unlike a heat engine.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the problem with that kind of interaction is that it uses a thermodynamic gradient, if you will. one that eventually levels out.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: why not extract it from a PGP public key instead? can't be faked, and doesn't need armed thugs to enforce.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if someone were to open a fake MPEx, would anyone be fooled? Why do you need trademarks enforced by governments?
