andreicon: looks like
the same software softpedia runs
mircea_popescu: shinohai speaking of which,
they have
this bridge here. it was going
to will have been finished by mid april.
shinohai: Certainly not
thermos, champion of
tardstalk free speech! (unless you are friends w/ mircea_popescu )
mircea_popescu: their role is strictly in organizing
the young female swede fucklines, keep
them nude and lubricated. no more.\
andreicon: me neither, but
their hosting company or isp might
andreicon: shinohai: may 2018 some new privacy reform happens in europe, might hinder
their activity
mircea_popescu: Framedragger do me
the favour and check if scriba has somewhere on disk a copy of
the above
tardstalk link content saved ?
☟︎ shinohai: as opposed
to going down ~3-4
times a month as it does already?
andreicon: "Alternatively it is always easier
to just not like me. You will lose money." <<
this is gold
andreicon: hanbot:
thank you. mircea_popescu: oh, it is. especially if
they're yours.
a111: Logged on 2014-11-30 06:31 mircea_popescu: like
the stuff discussed above re usg agency redhat, fuycking up linux. EXACTLY
the stiuation of
the giant ruining a chair.
whaack is not familiar with
the walmart parable
mircea_popescu: whaack artificially high prices are a fine way
to wreck a symbol. consider how
torpedoes work (they don't push at
the ship, but create a vacuum. it
then gets filled). consider also
the parable of
the walmart giant and
the neighbourhood chair.
whaack: What would have been bad with btc sitting at "too high" a price? Is it
that a herd of people
trying
to get as many coins
to hold from
these "weak hands" would have bought in at a higher price
than needed,
thus making any concerted effort
to raise
the price in
the long
term much more difficult?
mircea_popescu: o right, mod6 WAS
there iirc. recall harnett, rosenfeld & friends ?
☟︎ shinohai thought about
this piece when Coinbase recently asked for more VC $$$but couldn't
turn it up .....
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> asciilifeform aaaand if you wish
to be REALLY rattled in
that vein, compare and contrast with mp giving random "bitcoin banker" wanna-bes coupla HUNDRED btc just so
they can't keep
the pretense up any further. << aha. scammers abound.
mircea_popescu: give a million idiots a
trillion dollars so
they build half million pizzerias and spend
the rest of
their short unhappy lives whining about
the high prices of flour,
the horrible
traffic and
the absent custom.
mircea_popescu: anyway, in something liek
that sense destroyed, now
the poor darlings have
to work
their way out of idiotlandia all over again.
mircea_popescu: there's
this ancient piece by hanbot about
the structual problems of giving idiots money.
mircea_popescu: not specifically, "went into weak hands" i guess would be
the best way
to put it.
andreicon: more likely went
to unowned addressed, burnt
mircea_popescu: (unlike washpo, mp is actually powerful even in
the purely signalling sense, which is why my "stop buying" worked, and cheaply, and well.)
mircea_popescu: anyway, was early summer 2013 if memory serves.
the whole
thing's on
the books.
mircea_popescu: none of
these counted for much in rpactice, for
the obvious reason : washington post is not powerful.
mircea_popescu: there have been a lot of "tape painting by fake news" events like
that. mtgox printing 0's, pirate going on about how "he's going
to crash btc", etc.
mircea_popescu: nah. was a purely financial event. btc was supposed
to crash, except a lot of pressure unwound
through mpoe options and
the whole
thing fizzled.
mircea_popescu: anyway, none of
this is anything compared
to
the literal
tens of
thousands of btc destroyed in
the first attack upon
the fledging currency. a bloody victory.
mircea_popescu: i
think BingoBoingo might have been ; and had his private chuckles hence.
mircea_popescu: fortunately for me,
the advanced kako-nubbins logics of 2016 hadn't yet arrived on
the scene back in 2012. somehow.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aaaand if you wish
to be REALLY rattled in
that vein, compare and contrast with mp giving random "bitcoin banker" wanna-bes coupla HUNDRED btc just so
they can't keep
the pretense up any further.
mircea_popescu: (for bonus lulz, compare and contrast with
the rogerzus ver blowing up
the cover of blockchain.info
to
try and recoup a half bitcoin or some shit. bassically contemporaneous events, and yet at least headcount reddit still
thought ver actually has anything
to do with bitcoin.)
mircea_popescu: alternatively, mircea_popescu is good at what he does ; wheres
the oposition, not.
mircea_popescu: i dunno what
they keep saying
themselves, but it all reduces
to "And furthermore, infestation is fine and lice are my friends"
andreicon: so jan 2014 btc was like 750-1000.
today
that would've amounted
to ~60 grand
mircea_popescu: that inept "permitting fungus
to grow on you" helpers bs
though... i have no idea what
they're
thinking.
mircea_popescu: shinohai
there is
that andreicon
there is
that. asciilifeform
there is
that.
andreicon: mircea_popescu: had he exchanged donated btc, he did so
to pay older debt
mircea_popescu: he's not produced enough in
the intervening years
to keep up with
tmsr's coin.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> who ? <<
The sciencehatesyou chick
shinohai: "You're in for a
treat if you haven't read yet any 'works' by MP of MPOE/MPEX fame and his #bitcoin-assets associates. " <<< Well
THIS guy is just up-to-date isn't he!
a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 14:33 andreicon: openbsd led
to mircea popescu donation 20k
mircea_popescu: yes but used backwards. let
the visiting sluts
take
their clothes off in front of
the house, shimmy naked
to
the pool area behind
the house, shower
there and ~maybe~ if not used in
the field
that day be allowed into
the actual house.
mircea_popescu: the other bizare part with houses is
this
thing whereby
the door opens into
the street. wouldn't it be logical
to have
the door open into
the "back" garden ?
andreicon: idk, it's
their way of staying healthy i guess
andreicon: romanians would rather boil
than feel a gust of wind
mircea_popescu: it's like a entry with an aluminum siding condom on
top
mircea_popescu: afaik
they made
these built in for 1970s style matchbox 500sqft soviet flats.
andreicon: did americans stop building
their own houses?
mircea_popescu: so if im in
the livingroom with say stoya going on
the main screen and a coupla girls on
the couch, discussing
things right ? and
there's a knock oin
the door, and i send one
to see who's
there, and she goes and opesn
the door...
the neighbour now sees my other girl's
tits, stoya and my pubic hair ?
andreicon: they started building
them like
that over here
too
mircea_popescu: dude what has happened
to
that place, i was
there not so long ago.
mircea_popescu: possibly because harder
to fall out of bed if
there's nowhere
to fall
to ?
andreicon: asciilifeform:
that's because
they love
their walk-in dressing rooms which
take space, you know?
shinohai: Welcome
to boot camp, we've all been
there ....
