mircea_popescu: when i get back a "well he makes websites" im like o great
asciilifeform: i've nothing against armchair generals, so long as they don't labour under the delusion of commanding actual soldiers.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic no but w/e, he was talking at me on twitter. so i respond. and when i respond to people i don't know it highligths them to research team too, so they give me a "who's this guy".
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: :-/ I don't think so, fwiw.
mircea_popescu: i guess protecting the term is impossible, actual people doing strategy will have to find a new word
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic cause i'm a fucking verbose idiot basically.
mircea_popescu: @Mircea_Popescu Didn't realise I had to get all my sources of income approved by you before I proceed. I'll remember for next time, thanks.
mircea_popescu: @TomHashemi Sure, most actual strategists I know advertise themselves as cooks, streetsweepers, merchandise stacking "executives" and so on
mircea_popescu: @Mircea_Popescu errrr maybe because I do both? try reading the full page before you comment...
mircea_popescu: @TomHashemi No. And why am I talking to derps who think they may put "strategy" on their bio when what they do is code websites ?

mircea_popescu: @Mircea_Popescu Nope... I've read enough of your nonsense on bitcointalk to do it on twitter as well
gx: i'm fucking raging
gx: Before the U.S. gets too far behind the curve on this important topic, I urge the regulators to work together, act quickly, and prohibit this dangerous currency from harming hard-working Americans.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i bet you not in 2014.
ArsKisS: as far as i know
ThickAsThieves: i like those examples
ThickAsThieves: i wonder, is there a legal ground for disallowing the USG to ban it on grounds that it would destroy huge amounts of wealth for US citizens already invested?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile i'm having fun on twitter with twerps who describe themselves as "Strategy & Research"
mike_c: "I am most concerned that as Bitcoin is inevitably banned in other countries, Americans will be left holding the bag on a valueless currency"
mircea_popescu: i guess so.
mircea_popescu: jesus fuck, i go craft, check twitter half hour later, 24 interactions
the20year2: There's a medium sized REIT i ran into out of texas that issued bonds here pretty recently in the same way I would like to do ours
mircea_popescu: at least i've never heard of pinksheet bonds issuance.
the20year2: I'm not aware of any, however i'm talking about the landry list of stocks out there that have.
the20year2: With the number of companies that have outright scammed people i'd kind of expect it to at least play a partial role in future issuer plans.
the20year2: I'd like to think i've been more transparent with rentalstarter than most other issuers have been with their respective listings. Of course, i'm still asking if this is a possibility at any rate
mircea_popescu: i mean equity is one thing, people love throwing money away
mike_c: there's already a btc hedge on mpex in x.eur. i'm not sure how much appetite you'll find for a bond that will decrease in NAV and interest rate as btc rises.
nubbins`: i see
the20year2: Hopefully I'm making sense
the20year2: Which was the whole idea behind doing this 2nd round of funding via havelock. So, then i've got to consider what non-share options there exist for business financing. Issuing interest bearing bonds are one of those things that many businesses do when they don't/can't apply for bank financing.
the20year2: We should hit $500k in total NAV by June, which is good, but i don't know if it's enough still in order to get a portfolio lender to consider us
the20year2: I guess I'm trying to determine if there'd be use in whether there would be a use for a USD rentalstarter bond on mpex
mircea_popescu: i don't think any assets were listed off new accounts anyway, what sense'd that make ?
mooninite: at max level, everyone's gear stats hit the same ceiling. There's no quest for bigger and better loots. Some people dislike this fact, but I find it nice to be able to quit playing for a few weeks, come back and not feel like everyone else progressed beyond me
mooninite: I played Rift, it was def a step of from the likes of WoW. But GW2 is the epitome of "without the stupid shit"
mircea_popescu: i never tried gw
mircea_popescu: which i pretty much own
ThickAsThieves: i have it uninstalled
ThickAsThieves: i visited the tenderloin in SF, i dont know what the fuck they are clinging on to
ThickAsThieves: i thought it was called 'life'
ThickAsThieves: the comments are ridiculous "Why does it take an influx of white New Yorkers in the South Bronx, in Harlem, in Bed Stuy, in Crown Heights for the facilities to get better? Why did it take this great influx of white people to get the schools better? The garbage wasn’t picked up every motherfuckin’ day when I was living in 165 Washington Park... The police weren’t around... When
mooninite: MtGox Update 3: I found it, my usb with 700k bitcoins, It had fell down the side of the sofa at starbucks, withdrawals to resume soonish.
