http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-09-2015#1287253 << i dunno that it is. honestly, "Race relations" in the sense of, here's a 10-15% ish scapegoat minority is the lulz of all time. same role the gypsies play in romania, same exact role of the small rus / white rus whatever in russian rhetoric, what the fuck are the ukrainians gonna do, bleed on everyone ?
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "When blockchain technology will become more adopted by businesses, is an ether price of 100$ realistic ? (self.ethtrader)"
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> It was still organized crime, but organized crime is always going to exist everywhere. << organised crime is one step down from government and certainly better than disorganised crime in all situations except those of extreme abundance

mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> "Mayor Francis Slay << nice name at least.
mircea_popescu: course, not nearly as heroic as "dude that has a bunch of other altcoins anal rings around his penis said ethereum's no different, and he had an open offer we mostly didn't take, and now it turns out it's no different and let's not mention the bitbet bet on the matter if possible."
mircea_popescu: Since Ether went live he has disappeared and refused to discuss the issue anymore, and it is unlikely anyone could've collected from him at any point.
mircea_popescu: "Short summary from clicking the link: this dude claimed to know Ethereum would fail, so during the crowd sale he offered Ether at a huge discount to the official price. Since nobody took him up on this amazing offer of selling something he didn't have at a price cheaper than the price people were willing to pay to people who actually had Ether to sell, he declared victory.
mircea_popescu: there is no way to "fix things" by finding the right way to fold the paper.
mircea_popescu: the overarching point being that whatever paper dickery they choose makes exactly 0 difference in the field.
mircea_popescu: this is the problem of "regimes", let's call it. a quest for oxigen, underwater. there's no more oxygen being added.
mircea_popescu: the more they do of that, the less rope they have left.

mircea_popescu: to add to the -15% yest and the 10% day before that and in general...
mircea_popescu: but hey, the party's over. all that's left of america are the fly shat pictures of granpa on the wall.
mircea_popescu: possibly most unamerican thing ever seen, heard or thought.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski the epic moment where a kenyan and a chinese agreed that "the us can't pull itself out of the shit without chinese support".
mircea_popescu: yeah, by filling the country with a bunch of retarded assholes you wholeheartedly feel like driving over.
mircea_popescu: how about make being poor very fucking sad, so they have SOME incentive to stop lying to themnselves about it.
mircea_popescu: somehow it managed to be worse off as "existoware" than it was 6 months ago as 6 months late vaporware.
mircea_popescu: last i heard ethereum is today in a state that is generally worse than not existing at all.
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> mircea_popescu "Ethereum now actually exists" << what the fuck does this even mean ?
mircea_popescu: it's clearly a square. one edge has been optimized pretty well. tiome to do the other one ?
mircea_popescu: no but seriously. at what point does the idea form that hey, minuscule "pollutants" out of extant cars aren't the problem. stop giving so many derps cars!
mircea_popescu: i guess derpy amherst dude could have benefited from jewish mother.
mircea_popescu: jewish mothers have a saying, something like, "stick to being honest, you're too dumb to be crooked."
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski at least he could have the commo nfucking decency to make a new nick, like every dumbass / scammer before him.
mircea_popescu: the budget of the entire scamolade is ~150 btc, and i doubt they're actually willing to burn all of it in support of this paycoin.
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> holy shit it's down to 1800 btc? what did they start with, 30k? << "30k".
mircea_popescu: ascii_field> anything less than that, won't keep vw alive <<< for my political needs a dead vw is much better than a live one.
mircea_popescu: should be a pretty lulzy showdown, once they try and "prosecute" someone who's not hired straight from central casting.
mircea_popescu: but so far they're in there with "arkan's tigers" and whatnot two bit thugs.
mircea_popescu: hey, if the usg "law enforcement" hires some kickass pr it might even catch up to the sinaloa cartel by 2016.
mircea_popescu: watching club fed try to dig itself out of the pile of fake bitcoin auction and all that surrounding fraud, on top which is piled a layer of lying to jury every which way to cover up for actually criminal "investigator", on top of which is another layer of lying every which way to protect his co-conspirators, which are now coming to light...
mircea_popescu: certainly most "vc" funds are spending more on "the internet" than they will ever make back.
mircea_popescu: pretty much every groupon "customer" is in this situation.
mircea_popescu: i believe this is true by now for the average business.

mircea_popescu: (and random discussion YET AGAIN undercovers the well lied about ustardian poverty. hey random schmuck, did you know your DAD could afford 5x the water that may be wasted on your stupid head ? forged granpa.)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the future never came to me. i generally get 7 to 10, and a coupla hundred galons is, if you do the math, just about one ton.
mircea_popescu: If your house was built in (<1980 is 5-7, 1981-1991 is 3.5, 1992> is 2.5) the standard flow for showerheads then was 5-7/3.5/2.5 gallons per minute.
mircea_popescu: askville.amazon.com/...water...shower/AnswerViewer.do?...
mircea_popescu: How many gallons of water does an average 10 minute shower use?
mircea_popescu: and if you do the math, the per-capita water coming out of 15 tons would be under half a liter. ie, not even enough to drink.
mircea_popescu: however. i do not think i EVER showered in less than a cubic meter of water. if people are half-like me, we're talking 17k tons a day, not 15.
mircea_popescu: if you don't make enough out of 35k schmucks to pay for one tanker truck you'rfe in trouble.
mircea_popescu: he's like a latter day george costanza this dude, "he never quit". just hjas a great sense of humour.
