ThickAsThieves: true
ThickAsThieves: but not actual shares in companies
ThickAsThieves: this might be possible for nondescript financial instruments
ThickAsThieves: another area people think decentralization addresses is circumventing SEC and other regulation
ThickAsThieves: i'm not inclined to find out :)
ThickAsThieves: "Such terms is rather ridicules and im sure they wont hold up in court in many country's"
ThickAsThieves: certainly not the forums
ThickAsThieves: although i guess no one would care much
ThickAsThieves: circling back to, i'd love to see blog article from mp that supported what ive just described
ThickAsThieves: if you pile on mp's technical arguments about the blockchain's limits in providing a decentralized solution it only makes decentralization that much worse of a pursuit
ThickAsThieves: lol
ThickAsThieves: thus all my problems with the decentralization of securities movement are conceptual
ThickAsThieves: to attempt to "decentralize" merely amounts to breaking things into less useful pieces
ThickAsThieves: very*
ThickAsThieves: these powers are made useful/profitable/covenient in their vert centralization
ThickAsThieves: and balance of power/trust
ThickAsThieves: having all 4 allows the alignment of interests
ThickAsThieves: the Exhange/Platform, Investment Bank/Issuer, Investor, and the issued Business/Financial Instrument

ThickAsThieves: while the cheerleaders are searching for a replacement for exchanges
ThickAsThieves: well the devs are just trying to make a thing
ThickAsThieves: these are not the same things
ThickAsThieves: colored coin type developers are merely trying to make an accountable ledger
ThickAsThieves: and that decentralized things are now a solution
ThickAsThieves: people see exchanges closing
ThickAsThieves: what i mean is
ThickAsThieves: admittedly, it doesnt seem to be the colored coin style developers making wild claims, but the people flocking to these ideas
ThickAsThieves: i see another conversation is happening sorry
ThickAsThieves: powers will always become ordered, dismantled, ordered, etc
ThickAsThieves: i'd argue the concept itself is a unicorn
ThickAsThieves: your points are mostly technical, involving the blockchain as being impractical
ThickAsThieves: the argument of course shifts depending on what problem it is people are trying to solve with decentralization
ThickAsThieves: mp your colored coins article doesnt address many other problems
ThickAsThieves: prepping the defibrillator?
ThickAsThieves: assuming you havent already
ThickAsThieves: mp, please write a Here's Why Everyone That Wants Decentralized Exchanges is Moron post
ThickAsThieves: lastpass, lol
ThickAsThieves: or, Fuck you.
ThickAsThieves: "Direct shares is the only way forward, at this point. The fact that you have not put together a direct share system shows the short-sightedness of management."
ThickAsThieves: i started actually responding and making points, but it doesn't help of course
ThickAsThieves: all this decntralized exchange talk is driving me batty
ThickAsThieves: maybe that;s why they are such jerks
ThickAsThieves: before my time
ThickAsThieves: ?

ThickAsThieves: public defender?
ThickAsThieves: "Ulbricht's public defender said Ulbricht would not protest his detention as he awaits his transfer to New York. He retains the right to pursue bail after he arrives in New York."
ThickAsThieves: that's some headline
ThickAsThieves: "Keith, the very first guy Sean's Outpost fed with Bitcoin Died last night"

ThickAsThieves: but it does sorta require exchanges to do the same
ThickAsThieves: we have a plan we've been executing
ThickAsThieves: we've been working hard behind the scenes to legitimize our role into a real bitcoin investment bank
ThickAsThieves: but that's within the decision tree
ThickAsThieves: it's not even that simple
ThickAsThieves: whereas Havelock has
ThickAsThieves: i have no problem saying that Bitfunder has not made this easy
ThickAsThieves: in the meantime the immediate issues are the shareholders in limbo, and dividends
ThickAsThieves: there's no simple way to proceed
ThickAsThieves: which requires meetings with various parties about various nuances
ThickAsThieves: we have a decision tree we have to climb through
ThickAsThieves: we haven't made any hard decisions in that regard
ThickAsThieves: so now that we caught up on processing all the migration data, we encountered a technical limitation with Bitfunder and we will have to require ALL TAT.ASICMINER migrators from BTCT to resubmit their info using a Havelock account
ThickAsThieves: this is a turtle market
ThickAsThieves: not coins
