benkay:
i have a contractor whose hand needs to either be slapped or held, can't decide yet.
pankkake: also one of the reasons
I hate github
VanCleef:
i have a friend starting his clothing label looking to me to outsource it for him
nubbins`: if you had some numbers in mind,
i could give you numbers bac
VanCleef: maybe
i should start investing in the stock market
Namworld:
I doubt you can fullfill buying my debt in any meaningful fashion tho.
drkow: my girlfriend had 20k burning a hole in her pocket and invested it at some bank last week,
I can't wait for her to lose it so
I can laugh
VanCleef: maybe
i should sponser a hackathon thingy
Namworld: If you don't mind living on an oil rig, yeah,
I suppose.
nubbins`: VanCleef
i have a friend who did a 3-year ROV course at a local college
VanCleef:
i read you can make 100k working in a laundry room on an oil rig
VanCleef:
i think sfi will be the next scam to fall
VanCleef:
i already have a good job at subway
Namworld: Fuck,
I'm even wearing rags, come to think of it.
nubbins`: TBF
i worked as a programmer for 5 years
VanCleef: well
i'm not a technical person
Namworld: not share it around. Not before having invested as much as
I could reasonably do first.
VanCleef: thestringpuller cause
i dont want to scam people
Namworld: If
I had something good to invest in,
I'd probably take it all to myself...
Namworld:
I'd probably go with Canadian laws about unclaimed debt. Not sure how long it is, but probably a few years.
Namworld: If
I harass them for a few months, they eventually reply, "oh yeah, right, why not?
I'll take it."
Namworld:
I send them messages asking about claiming/repaying them and never receive replies...
Namworld: As for most others who lent me smaller amounts...
I typically have to run after them for repaying them?
Namworld: TAT must be satisfied. But a few of my larger lenders are going to get pissed. At least
I think so? They don't seem to ask/be in a hurry about it a lot.
Namworld:
I'm down a lot of my debt.
I have last requests to fulfill. And a lot of people who never replied to me about it.
ThickAsThieves:
i'm not sure scam is an appropriate term, however liberally some would like to use it
VanCleef:
i cant remmeber was a while ago
VanCleef:
i remember on the second day of neobee ipo
i called it a scamm and tat put me on ignore for trolling
ThickAsThieves: <mike_c> unless tat tells us /// that kinda info resided with Neo,
I assume
Namworld:
I still owe so much BTC. Not happy about it.
pankkake: first time
I loled to a morpheus meme!
nubbins`: what if
i told you... that your investment went straight into the pockets of cypriot marketing firms?
Namworld:
I'll still call it Neobee. Neo never existed anyway, or came close to fruition.
Mats_cd03: (
i personally do -- that reality has played out thousands of times in thousands of jurisdictions)
Namworld: If you make largesses to yourself, you go "Boohoo,
I've run out of funds, spending everything on advertising and a big salary to myself, now there's nothing left.
I'm sorry. So sad." Like neobee and the like.
thestringpuller:
I guess "short-term" credit is much better than "long term"
Namworld: Ideally you don't. Although
I haven't had problem getting credit.
thestringpuller:
I'd assume as long as you make a profit despite capital expenses, credit/debt can be good sometimes
Namworld: Going to stay like that until
I at least repay all my debts. Probably going to stay like that for a while after
I repay my debts. You make sure you have no debts and the business is well and you have a nice cushion.
Namworld:
I'm in a poorer area of the city, but far from the poorest.
Namworld:
I could probably live better on much less if
I moved to another country.
Namworld: Speaking of life quality, by all estimates,
I won't be lacking funds in the future. But as long as that's not a reality and is just on paper, my living standards are pretty low. Well according to local standards anyway.
Namworld:
I got hit hard when
I joined the forum. Didn't expect what
I stumbled upon. It seems everyone are connected with sock puppets. Mostly artifices.
nubbins`: hmm
i think my homo zebra needs a cigarette
chetty: ThickAsThieves,
I actually did 5ish years as vegetarian, it was fine health wise
ThickAsThieves: for example
i'm pretty sure going whole food vegan reduces allergies
pankkake: so the study doesn't even even try to separate other factors (
i.e. vegetarians being more physically active and health conscious, while non vegetarians includes mcdonalds eating couch potatoes)
Namworld:
I'm not sure why you're so pissed VanCleef... Bitcoin acts like cash but digital. hard to get back, no reversal mechanism.
nubbins`:
i really like these "face for face" silver coins
nubbins`: altho TBF if he's realized he just blew too big of a wad and wants $$ back,
i think ATC will be a bit of a hard sell
nubbins`: well,
i tell ya what. there's this guy, see, and he wants to sell a coin
nubbins`: also,
i got this weird twinge in my sides at 11:54, strange
nubbins`: mircea_popescu
i can ask him if he'd accept ATC... what's 6BTC worth of ATC these days, anyway?
mircea_popescu: (
i last followed nba cca 1993, cause
i was playing some pretty cool simulator for the pc.
VanCleef:
i want to work at a government agency and bring bitcoin down
VanCleef:
i didn't even invest in neobee but just so sick and tired of all the scams all the time
VanCleef:
i get asked about it from mom and pop investors
VanCleef: from now on whenver a mainstrea person asks me about bitcoin
i'm just going to tell them to stay away from it because its all just bullshit and lies and a pyramid scheme and full of pos scammers
CheckDavid: mircea_popescu: maybe. Let's put it that way.
I m just looking for some perspective
VanCleef: man
i'm so sick of scams,
i try and do the right thing and not be scammy and support this bitcoin shit but its just full of fucking animals
chetty:
I dont think bitcoin has more scams that other things, its just more visible, to us
CheckDavid: mircea_popescu: for example.
I rarely see platinum as an instrument on brokers. But gold is very common
ThickAsThieves: vancleef what
i'm saying is, how much more scamming can there really be
jborkl: mircea_popescu> The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimated that in 2002 there were nearly sixteen billion chickens in the world, counting a total population of 15,853,900,000 <
I wonder how many people taxpayers employed to count all the chickens?
ThickAsThieves: to be honest
i still get shaken that bitcoin just wont work because humans
mircea_popescu: were it not for bitcoin,
i'm sure some elected official or other would have thought this is "prudent".
mircea_popescu: now go beat up your children and send them naked
i nthe street to earn a living
Mats_cd03:
i dont discriminate based on hair color
chetty: VanCleef,
i trust banks and wallstreet more and more everyday // at least you know you will be cheated, in btc space its still an open question
VanCleef:
i heard he doesn't even have a daughter
VanCleef:
i trust banks and wallstreet more and more everyday
mircea_popescu:
i mean stupid is one thing. hard to hide, already well known, no big deal. but a liar is a different story.
Guest17831:
i didnt verify my nick now that
i set enforce on :(
mircea_popescu: hardly teh point.
i dunno why all these scammor dudes imagine that's an argument. yes dude, if we wanted to feed your fambly we'd have just donated you the btc.
mircea_popescu: it's very simple : "if you people were nice
i'd have paid for this out of pocket but because you were mean
i am not so neeneer"
Guest17831: one thing
i dont get, is why he'd be stepping down for death threats, before anyone was worried about the rumors
