Mats_cd03: i fucking hate that phrase, 'money laundering'
freeroute: hmm, I always thought that regulation in regards to BTC could only be applied at the "IRL" fiat-side of things
ThickAsThieves: (I realize this leads to arguments on bitcoin's susceptibility to regulation)
freeroute: it would be regulated the same way BTC would, I assume
mircea_popescu: ah this is too much, i'll bbl.
freeroute: true, I didn't claim otherwise
freeroute: no, I didn't say that.
mircea_popescu: were i to decide to split all objects into heavy and light i could fucking tell you whether a breadbox is heavy or light.
mircea_popescu: well then i'd propose you have no idea what you're talking about, if you use a nomenclature that fails to even split the world properly.
freeroute: mircea_popescu: difficult. I'd say both, I wouldn't trust it more then I would trust security through obscurity
mircea_popescu: applied mathematics still has to be applied. and i was there when communism fell, and i saw no mathematics anywhere around me.
mircea_popescu: if I. you see ?
freeroute: but I do hope that trust will get out of people's hands into the hands of cryptography. Because generally, people are not a good thing, and never were.
freeroute: well yeah at this point I can't see bitbet implementing such a thing because of the nature of the bets (the bets would then be binary and somehow be validated for provably true)
mircea_popescu: i understand that there's a very strong desire in the socially-challenged for replacing girlfriends with porn, but that's not how finance works.
freeroute: I guess, not sure about the exact implementation, but it would certainly help bitbet's trust not being able to run away with the BTC
freeroute: I guess it depends on the application, it won't make everything safe
steven-__: safe is always the first word that comes to mind when i think of 3rd party and bitcoin
nubbins`: honestly, i'd be embarassed to be seen at any bitcoin event
mircea_popescu: i learn a lot from reading reddit
mircea_popescu: "Soooo.... I used a site in november called betsofbitco.in or something like that and i made a couple bets. Both have passed their date and still are awaiting decisions for 3 months now. I should be winning these bets but there seems to be nothing happening. Anyone know if that site is a scam"
nubbins`: "i'll never have kids"
nubbins`: i honestly have to lel at facebook sometimes
joecool: for normal circumstances, just need to keep an eye on when storms flare up, last year i saw them once all the way down here
ThickAsThieves: anyone know the best bitcoin wallet for debian? I'm having trouble getting one to install
joecool: i've never been there, gf lives on ontario, i live in dirty jerz
joecool: nubbins`: i'm not entirely sure, i think it's around bay bull's though
joecool: nubbins`: never noticed you're newfie, i'll be there for like a month this summer
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i just didn't imagine anyone'd be doing it. i'm not saying it's a bad idea or anything, just, not what i had imagined.
ThickAsThieves: <mircea_popescu> i'm really blown away by the yes bets. /// why's that?
mircea_popescu: if i were designing the reichsmarks in 1940
mircea_popescu: i hear modern coins are all shit
nubbins`: i just took a gold buffalo out of the packaging
mircea_popescu: i'm really blown away by the yes bets.

Mats_cd03: i feel thats a missed pr opportunity
Mats_cd03: i didnt realize until i read the trilema post that the brk-a bet originated from mp
ThickAsThieves: "Hence why the bet is in bitcoins - zero risk for the better and something only an idiot would participate in. I'm sure buffet's seen this one before but most of the morons on this subreddit have not."
ThickAsThieves: i'm offended that erik's reddit thread on the bet gets more shine than mine :(
ThickAsThieves: "Agreed. Looks good. But what I don't get is the huge jump to 41,734.95 in total earned BTC.
ThickAsThieves: sure i think btc will win! but dat odds! i'm willing to throw .001 against that!

mircea_popescu: i believe it's called adoption
kakobrekla: i only got 173 less than you.
Apocalyptic: "decentralized exchange" // I guess this guy has it all
datz_: ok darn so IRC is too cheeky and suspicious to let me list here. don't say i didn't offer you the opportunity. will just have to stick with my own decentralized exchange :)
mircea_popescu: no, i was being plain. shit or not shit, i'm here after all.
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: not sure if you're being sarcastic, but I actually do think it's a pretty great thing
mircea_popescu: copumpkin i guess it's kinda difficult for outsiders to realise just how deep, powerful and far reaching irc is.
mircea_popescu: i hope you're jealous kakobrekla
copumpkin: makes my work life difficult but I survive
copumpkin: so I never talk to people in person anymore
datz_: why i don't use IRC or have trust here
copumpkin: hey, this guy I spoke to once pickpocketed me
datz_: so i don;t trust people on IRC
datz_: the one guy i worked with used IRC stole 2.8 million XRP from me
copumpkin: where else can I find someone like mircea_popescu?

matthew_boyd: You get what I mean, I phased it poorly, I know.

mircea_popescu: i loved senna too. it
jurov: ThickAsThieves: i hope that's not related to teh bitbet :P
ThickAsThieves: i think they also got distracted by Ultimate Fighting
mircea_popescu: TomServo hey, what can i tell you. it's not that i didn't like it because they made safer
TomServo: mircea_popescu: I don't see the harm in making it a bit safer, the danger is still present
LordPutin: wow i would take the no for sure
ThickAsThieves: yeah, i suspect any violent increase in inflation would result in a more abrupt increase in bitcoin value than BRK-A
Duffer1: what was the market cap of BTC this time last year? i'm sure it was already well beyond 200k..
ThickAsThieves: "Analysts now see $100 BTC within easy reach. I am sticking to my bet. I bet Warren Buffett 100,000 BTC that BTC reaches $200,000 before Berkshire Hathaway does."
ThickAsThieves: it's weird, it happened to me both times i was in Amsterdam

ThickAsThieves: oddly it was the first time I ever had hot flashes and almost fainted
mircea_popescu: the shit people come up with, i swear.

Diablo-D3: I mean, I have to give it to wrestling
ThickAsThieves: due to them being the same day, i have an odd association with WWF and Catechism as a child
