mircea_popescu: bitcoin mining is
a perfect avenue for large players to dodge tax, whcih is why the hash is going quite so nuts.
mircea_popescu: One thing to note is that, generally speaking,
a Bitcoin/altcoin mining operation is strictly profitable from
a fiat perspective. Anyone who thinks they’re profitable from
a BTC perspective needs to take
a cold, hard look at the data for the past few years, and needs to couple the historical data with the inevitable delays when pre-ordering mining equipment. << this is quite true.
fluffypony: I have already, will go fix past articles

mircea_popescu: Mark Serbu told us, “I refused to sell my rifles to the NYPD, and when I talked about it online, it blew up like crazy. Everybody liked the idea of

Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, in the meantime i read that they are planning to get 50% back to frankfurt in
a matter of seven years or so
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic: I wonder how much US sent them back so far << the us had more sense than to put
a clause in there that the matter is to be judged according to frankfurt law.
mircea_popescu: the stupidity of people holding bitcoin is the one thing that can hurt bitcoin (as evidenced by say the pirate debacle, or by the fact that
a million fucktarded stoners managed to give the usg
a gift of 20k ish btcs)

mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> good sovereign <<
a cryptozoological animal << this reduces to saying there's nothing to live for.
nubbins`: unfortunately, picking
a good sovereign likely requires you to pass through the hands of the worst sovereign of them all (int'l border control)
nubbins`: or rather, where the enforcing of said ordering is
a common occurrence
mircea_popescu: the only solution is to pick
a good sovereign and stick to it.
