davout: you mean it's betting against btc because you pick
a bitpay investment over
a btc investment?
mike_c: like you just said.. it's
a bet on bitpay and against btc appreciation.
mircea_popescu: you were nuts giving me even odds on
a prop like that btw. i mean srsly, am i known for predictability or what,.
mircea_popescu: ya dude, totally so many people. it's like
a downpour of people.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony he's also not mentioning the part where bitfinex is
a scam ran by the marginally retarded on stolen code.
mike_c: my guess was that mpex picked up
a new strategic investor.
davout: fluffypony: fun fact, it's also run by
a french dude
TheNewDeal: I've not talked about Bitfinex since this isn't
a sales pitch for them. I've not talked about how they offer leveraged margin trade as well as normal exchange. Nor have I talked about the p2p lending platform where people who don't want to trade can earn swap interest on USD or BTC balance. I've also not mentioned the 5 order types they have: limit
TheNewDeal: found
a good line in that "risk assessment"

a bureaucrat of understanding the implications of their actions except maybe mircea_popescu

mircea_popescu: you think the guy with the "largest house in north hollywood" is taking
a discount because it's so big ?
mircea_popescu: if people used the noggin,
a 10k house in
a neighbourhood with 30k average houses would sell for 9 not for 11
mircea_popescu: what's so ritzy about it ? seems
a dorm town like any other
mike_c: plus
a basement! it's
a steal.
Azelphur: mike_c: never heard that in UK, also we generally have no bathrooms without
a shower, usually it's the bath that gets dropped
mike_c: is this not
a thing outside US? half-bath means no shower.
Azelphur: I'm just imagining
a bathroom with
a half-cylinder toilet and 50% of
a shower
mike_c: no no, you just pay $10k and live
a life of indentured servitude to the bank.
mircea_popescu: ill be damned if i pay half
a million paperthings for something with "one and
a half" bathrooms

a pottery kiln
fluffypony: when that comes up he says he's not writing
a web wallet and "you don't even KNOW the stuff I'm writing that's so amazing it'll make the queen's testicles fall off"
pankkake: if he's writting
a web wallet as he claims, he will have
a hard tard convincing he's not inputs.io 2.0
davout: pankkake: he did start
a "Donator money" thread but that's about it
TheNewDeal: oh my gosh. 200k is forfeited to the USMS if you don't secure
a bid
jborkl: davout : Usagi came up with the zero risk asset class - class
a is owned by class b - class b is owned by class c and class c owns
a and b so there is no risk
pankkake: but you know there's
a guy with huge green trust that still has posts saying pirate isn't
a ponzi
mircea_popescu: <davout> i really don't get the fetish -assets has for this usagi guy << he's diligently stupid and has been for
a long time.
mircea_popescu: <TheNewDeal> I hope the price drops like
a rock until that auction then just skyrockets back up << lol
pankkake: oh, so
a VIP restricted thing. nothing about me in that one?
pankkake: as long as bitcointalk is
a thing btc will stay <1000

a rock until that auction then just skyrockets back up

a mess.

dub: f.luffer
a spinoff from klyemax
davout: floge -> "The hole left behind from
a penis piercing" <<< don't forget to floss!

a typical HYIP
bitcoinpete: fluffypony: when we can fund nasa for
a year with

a week probably...
fluffypony: los_pantalones: that throw was insane, I couldn't believe the distance it covered, and it looked like such
a lazy lob
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: I saw
a great baseball play
a few days ago - huge hit into outfield, outfielder duffs the catch (bounces off his glove), has this brief moment of confusion before running after it and lobbing it all the way back to home base, and the batter is run out. Now I can't find it. Jog any memories?
davout: pankkake: "it comes with
a special status" <<<
a mod in
a local section of the forum isn't much more than
a glorified janitor
princessnell: mircea_popescu this graph is meant to address
a specific policy issue. but sure someone should be keeping tabs on that.
princessnell: there's
a ton more subsidies that aren't counted
assbot: Loper OS »
A Country of Which Nothing is Known but the Name.
BingoBoingo: Approving the Billy Hamilton bet was
a mistake. There's no attractive reason to go in on yes, even as
a longshot. He's fast whis is exciting, but fast doesn't win any "of the year" awards.
mircea_popescu: it's like some broad in new york cca 1700 pretending she's
a fashion guru and not washing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno how someone could seriously propose they're
a chief justice and not gpg sign
mircea_popescu: im going to make sure and raise this objection to the us supreme court's competence in any case before it, that it is unqualified to sit as
a court because it scams with its published decisions.
chetty: last time oil was getting this high we had
a market crash ..............look out below
chetty: fbi informants demand to be paid in bitcoin!!!! (pass it on, makes
a great rumor)
TomServo: It should be noted that the FBI has
a lot of bitcoins to sell. In addition to drug-tainted Silk Road coins, the FBI has
a much bigger stash: an estimate from Casey Research puts the figure between 5% and 10% of all bitcoins in circulation.
chetty: well it prolly wont make
a drop of difference, but it feels good for
a split second
chetty: first time in history that
a 'party leader' lost in
a primary, maybe there is hope for the ussa
gribble slaps kakobrekla with
a parenthetical clay
jurov: it's possible to have direct links for
a category?
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> wait is that
a heart or
a butt < buartt
los_pantalones: mircea_popescu, you are
a gentleman and
a scholar, tyvm
mircea_popescu: then
a few bitcoin bets during the event make sense, even if they're 1/10 weight
los_pantalones: oh come to think of it, i love the decay feature of the bitbet on
a live event
mircea_popescu: if you own 1% of all bitcoin, you're guaranteed
a 1% slice of any bet pool you ever wish to have.
mircea_popescu: AND the beauty of parimutuel is that you can always adjust your exposure to
a pot %
mircea_popescu: los_pantalones which is why i need
a bunch of fucking affiliates
