mircea_popescu: because i don't keep a very neat accounting of who's voiced.

mircea_popescu: bravetheworld anyway, to make the cultural references plain : the idea that bitcoin is a superstate, and well independent already is not novel.

mircea_popescu: holy shit half a day for a tenth of a cent wtf omg.

mircea_popescu: to quote mpoe-pr from two hours ago on a totally different topic, " interesting to see where people's musing and fascination get them, dead right in some places, idiosyncratically caulked in others".

mircea_popescu: what, like a two word compound adjective ?

mircea_popescu: dudesir "That fee was waived for about a month during the beta, so at the very least it'd have to be a combination of extortion with laziness. Then it was 20 BTC. Now it's 30 BTC. The fee is projected to keep going up for the undetermined future."
