mircea_popescu: "in the most optimum direction" unless you're mel, optimum is
a superlative for you. it takes no comparative.
Drew: for
a random guy who bought
a ticket, i sure have some ambitious plans for this project ;)
mircea_popescu: well so you can appreciate our problem. if we were to try and evaluate your claim, we'd have no objective weay to distinguish you from
a random guy that bought
a ticket.
mircea_popescu: Drew aha so nov 15, North Atlanta Trade Center, $40
a ticket.
Drew: from just
a google search or?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In my region we seem to be having
a strong rebound year for bees.
Drew: my friend has told me that with
a 1% widespread usage, with all the BTC mined they would be 1 million USD apiece?
benkay: rent has fleeced
a bunch, Drew
Drew: so if the bitcoin assets space is definitely almost entirely btc focused, would you say that the bitcointalk space is as well? I have had
a couple of responses even on my posts that were almost entirely flame-ridden
benkay: yeah, that's
a good one.
mod6: pff, how about 'how many satoshi in 1 BTC?' i see them get this wrong /constantly/ on twitter, drives me up
a tree.
BingoBoingo: benkay: I think asciilifeform Has
a better point
Drew: where would be
a good point to start, readingwise
benkay: bitcoin competence is
a baseline.
Drew: i feel that there should be
a way to earn trust with this space in other ways than proving bitcoin competency
benkay: but this is
a bitcoin centric space.
Drew: im definitely not an idiot, but
a good friend of mine is the bitcoin expert
benkay: mircea_popescu has
a standing offer on the table for people to promote the cardano
BingoBoingo: These things happen nearly every day. Maybe it takes
a while for something to fit your skillset.
Drew: so i will basically have to dig
a hole and fill it back in again for the sole sake of demonstrating competence
Drew: i would imagine that there are some btc connections that may decide to become
a fiat connection any day though
benkay: not much use if you're running
a fiat biz and only care about your fiat connections, though.
Drew: and actually have
a team with 50 years of experience in the market
BingoBoingo: Honestly Drew you sound like
a less floridly psychotic version of Dank on bitcointalk with this plan.
Drew: we just successfully threw
a music festival in atlanta with some pretty star studded acts
benkay: business rolls downhill to the heavy objects. be
a heavy object.
Drew: thats ok, politeness isn't something i came looking for. I have
a thick skin and would prefer constructive brute criticism to beating around the bush senseless politeness any day
benkay: sounds like
a fiat business.
benkay: burning man has
a 'too big' branding problem already.
Drew: electric daisy carnival is branching out their festival, and even though they recently formed
a "creative partnership" with SFX (the corporate devil in their eyes) that is not taking away from their brand following
Drew: 8. the effect created by our structure will be to, instead of having one event per year for promotion to be centered around, we have 90-100 events associated with the brand across the country throughout the entire year to build promotion around, using each event as
a social media hub and continuing to expand our presence. This will create the most unified EMC related brand that has existed so far, making it the literal perfect
Drew: 5. The majority of music festivals, including the ones he has purchased, have one large event per year. If they are quality events, they gain
a raving loyal following who attends every year and their audience steadily increases. (Electric Forest, Ultra Music Festival, etc)
Drew: 4. Our strategy is designed to create
a brand which will cater to what this man and his company are trying to accomplish, which will value our brand at easily
a quarter of
a billion dollars. We will do this by having
a different approach than any currently existing brand.
Drew: 3. -If he was able to unite much of the industry under one brand, he would effectively control the marketing ability to 18-34 year olds with disposable income, an ability worth
a tremendous amount of money to corporations that are looking to market their product to this demographic (of which there are
a vast amount)
Drew: 2. -out of the worlds population of 7 billion, 3.6 billion are under the age of 30, and 2 billion are millennials. -Electronic Music is indisputably the music of choice for the 18-34 year old demographic mentioned above -The “Electronic Music Culture”, as he calls it, is more digitally plugged in and more reliably marketed to in
a modern sense than any other genre -The industry is currently very fragmented, and was much mor
benkay: /query assbot to start
a conversation
Drew: 1. There is
a media company (SFX entertainment) has stated that they are building
a $1 billion empire in the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) space and have already spent $400 million buying different EDM festival related brands all over the world in the last year for anywhere from $15-$100 million.
Drew: OK - I have successfully thrown
a music festival in Atlanta called Lunar Massive. Our plan is to continue the brand in the most optimum direction and develop it into the ideal acquisition target for the below company for the further below reasons. -
☟︎ Drew: ok, well anyways ThickAsThieves here are
a few rough points on my business for discussion
Drew: how do you send
a private message on here
mircea_popescu: but in backwards world, "having spent
a lot of money" is
a claim to fame,
mircea_popescu: mike_c everyone thinks "it's good pr". somehow the fucking world is upside down. for instance, in
a sane market, the shareholders of the acquirer would discount ther share
mike_c: yeah, it's
a new thing. so retarded.
mike_c: grammar has two
a's :D
mircea_popescu: "
a start-up company whose product gives users with
a way to grammer"
ThickAsThieves: "Coinbase announced that it acquired Kippt,
a start-up company whose product gives users with
a way to store and sort online media."
Jezzz: dunno if I have time to build ozbot
a porn analyzation engine
ThickAsThieves: DrewHorne, either share or dont share, youre worrying about the drapes for
a house you dont own yet
DrewHorne: ThickAsThieves - so if I were able to discuss ~90% of my business plan here, but it involved fiat currency, would this not be
a proper place to vet the plan?
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> upon consideration, i think jezz has
a very valid point. it's not ozbot that should change.// hey that was my point!
mircea_popescu: upon consideration, i think jezz has
a very valid point. it's not ozbot that should change.
mircea_popescu: <DrewHorne> BUT the investment has
a 6000% return, looking for $1,250,000 USD in exchange for 30% equity of
a company we will sell for $250,000,000 in 5 years << this should go in my list of "stupid things one should never say"
DrewHorne: this is true, hence I am in
a bit of
a paradox here.
mircea_popescu: <DrewHorne> basically my idea involves moreso
a fiat investment rather than
a bitcoin investment for starters, << so that's the end of the discussion.
DrewHorne: BUT the investment has
a 6000% return, looking for $1,250,000 USD in exchange for 30% equity of
a company we will sell for $250,000,000 in 5 years
Jezzz: lemme see if there's an easy way to do like
a dynamic search
mircea_popescu: i tend to just link
a biutbet, then i find myuself having to paste data
DrewHorne: also some parts of the strategy are confidential, and would only be on the table for discussion after signing
a mutual NDA and mutually confirming our identities
Jezzz: also, if you've got to provide the entire link, not sure that's
a real handy shortcut
DrewHorne: basically my idea involves moreso
a fiat investment rather than
a bitcoin investment for starters, especially since it is over
a 5 year period. I am very much of the opinion however that there are forward thinking and open minded investors of all sorts in the bitcoin space
DrewHorne: im coming from the bitcointalk.org investments forum, I have
a very solid business plan that I am looking for investment on, and after speaking with ThickAsThieves he said that the best way to go about vetting my idea in the bitcoin space was to bring it here
Jezzz: have
a link handy?
Jezzz: i'd just need to take
a look at the bitbets api
gribble: scrat was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 25 weeks, 3 days, 3 hours, 8 minutes, and 39 seconds ago: <Scrat> im
a fat cock
gribble: Error: Something in there wasn't
a valid number.
mircea_popescu: what we need is
a better ozbot. like, providing
a read of bitbet bets, and better baits
mircea_popescu: hey mike_c how about
a bot that gives odds and whatnot for bitbet links ?
benkay: <ThickAsThieves> in
a few years everyone will just be their own business << why do you think i do what i do?!
ThickAsThieves: in
a few years everyone will just be their own business
benkay: until you've got the girls showing up with other girls you can't really call it
a harem.
mircea_popescu: it's such
a weird artefact of times long gone, to see women wearing panties...
mircea_popescu: well, he's ambitious which is good, and has stuck around for
a while, which is also good.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo nah, i think he may be more than
a few tweaks and turns away from an actual workable harem.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it occurs to me someone should do
a topic summary of this channel. what have we been discussing today, music, heaters, beating small children, points of history of cryptography academic publications minutia, radiobiology
ThickAsThieves: these days you have to pretty much hand over
a finished song that just needs to rap verses
mircea_popescu: ie, if you suck
a major rap artist's cock (the mage) and he deigns to call you his crystal ball,
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves if i were to wager
a guess, rap beats is
a crystal ball thing.
mircea_popescu: that's the clear proof that the thing is run as
a lottery, and most everyone involved pays to participate.
mircea_popescu: none of them willing to pay you
a living wage, but all of them happy to have you on board.
ThickAsThieves: and there is
a vast ocean of game types and sizes out there
ThickAsThieves: i dont disagree, but you also think video game company wouldnt pay to have
a dedicate audio artist or team on their project?
