asciilifeform: medicine for corpse.

asciilifeform: l0l fixing satoshi

asciilifeform: i think i described a good bit of it here.

asciilifeform: oodles of broken?

asciilifeform: what of it.

asciilifeform took 'walk around whoe item.'

asciilifeform: punkman: i have no intention of partaking in dollar anything, beyond what is required to pay my bills, as anon slave.

asciilifeform: punkman: if you want a dollar cardano, call up ft meade and rsa co., they will happily sell it to you today!

asciilifeform: but was hoping to hear some conjecture as to what this could even look like.

asciilifeform: sure.

asciilifeform: forget about imminent

asciilifeform: for what currency we will sell cardano et al? camels?

asciilifeform: well:

asciilifeform: was doing the one thing i knew of that might help, i thought, to nail hitler.

asciilifeform: how?

asciilifeform: had nfi.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was doing it to help kill hitler.

asciilifeform: except that i have nfi what we're doing with trb.

asciilifeform: so for me, nothing really changes.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i can't pay rent in anything but usd and don't see this changing.

asciilifeform: not like 100% of my work wasn't funded by bad old usd always.

asciilifeform: or two.

asciilifeform: i suppose it will buy a resistor.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: will soon be worth fiddycents.

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i have ~0 btc.

asciilifeform recalls reading this

asciilifeform: it seems to me that mircea_popescu does not live by icecream and cunt alone ?

asciilifeform: given that he already had lifetime icecream

asciilifeform: there had to be some reason why mircea_popescu even bothered with bitcoin

asciilifeform: or a usable computer.

asciilifeform: go buy a working cramershoup on this blackmarket?

asciilifeform: but fundamentally soviet.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a world where a lizard can print is by no reasonable description 'free'.

asciilifeform: and yes, bitcoin is not a boat, but a plank from broken boat.

asciilifeform: without these things, free world is a dream.

asciilifeform: geographically dispersed honest commerce stands on bitcoin, just as dispersed wot stands on publickey crypto.

asciilifeform: again spurious analogy. or is mircea_popescu about to explain how tmsr still has a philosophical foundation without sound money.

asciilifeform: am i mistaken?

asciilifeform: sell btc, buy icecream.

asciilifeform: whattodo.

asciilifeform: seems like mircea_popescu already decided ?

asciilifeform: and... guess what.

asciilifeform: 'do not build after this line.'

asciilifeform: in jp there are 1500+ yr old 'tsunami stones'.

asciilifeform: this ever worked?

asciilifeform: it does nothing against large monolithic derps.

asciilifeform: i.e. many small derps pooling

asciilifeform: mod6: but remember, this is only a pill against demoooocracy

asciilifeform: !s non-outsourceable

asciilifeform: Reydev: it is.

asciilifeform: and when the time comes and beijing prints, while swedish coolies toil, beijing will be indistinguishable from today's washington.

asciilifeform: why work when you can print, aha.

asciilifeform: lizards print, while others work. that is what fiat is. in roman debased silver, or today.

asciilifeform: all fiat is one.

asciilifeform: it is simply the current britain. forget the particular.

asciilifeform: the way there is with visa.

asciilifeform: there was, e.g., no usg whitelist.

asciilifeform: the cartel was not reliably in control.

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: with their swords.

asciilifeform: the spartans can speak for themselves

asciilifeform: but who am i to say.

asciilifeform: but to say that mircea_popescu's retreat is of no interest to mpex users, beggars the imagination and melts my brain.

asciilifeform: and prop up the state.

asciilifeform: *move

asciilifeform: and to a bitcoin user, currencies that have to mive physically, or hawalate, are all stone knives.

asciilifeform: well yes.

asciilifeform: euros are same as usd.

asciilifeform: not analogous.

asciilifeform: ^

asciilifeform: *down

asciilifeform: what does mircea_popescu say to the shareholders? 'enjoy the ride dowd to the ground from 20,000 metres' ?

asciilifeform: and i admit that i wonder about mpex.

asciilifeform: try to undestand the difference between bug and misdesign.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: not really.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: famine doesn't affect rats and mice. quite the opposite.

asciilifeform: if you're talking about gold and you aren't wearing a crown and leading an army -- delusional.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://megalyrics.ru/lyric/vladimir-vysotskii/zk-vasiliev-i-zk-pietrov.htm << oblig re zeks.

asciilifeform: same thing.

asciilifeform: zek.

asciilifeform: whaddayawant.

asciilifeform: i'm a prisoner.

asciilifeform: of them.

asciilifeform: the interesting moment will be whe usg hyenas feast on the corpses,

asciilifeform: now this is true.

asciilifeform: and btc cartel is what?

asciilifeform: printing press throws infinite silicon at it.

asciilifeform: against the printing press ?

asciilifeform: (tldr: hawala over gossipd. an end to the 'anyone is a bank' dream.)

asciilifeform: and, as usual, i have a pill against these boojums, but it is very bitter and i promise that no one will want it.

asciilifeform: nor anything to prevent an alt from being bulldozed by ft meade, or beijing, or whoever else can print money and bake silicon.

asciilifeform: (because there is no satisfactory way of bootstrapping any alt.)

asciilifeform: this does not work for alts.

asciilifeform: and any btc holder could play.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-03-2016#1423034 << that only worked because, in phorkwar, one could sell phork-btc and buy btc, forming an arse-mouth loop. ☝︎

asciilifeform: get crackin'.

asciilifeform: so unless BingoBoingo writes adacoin, there is no adacoin.

asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu doesn't support things, period. and imho this is reasonable.
