mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids i have no idea. looks like some sort of panic or desperation.
random_cat: neither mtgox nor coinbase look like massive management projects from here: they look like operations which would fill the room i inhabit to the gills (and possibly cause fistfights)

Duffer1: i tried not to pile on TaT, who the hell am I to tell you your conscience

mircea_popescu: random_cat i daresay they know they got a burn rate, and everything else is desperation
random_cat: i think they know they are a broker in bitcoin, and everything else is pr
mircea_popescu: meanwhile back @stupid ranch, clueless journo working for obscure publication links to my article on cryptsy, calls me "a commenter". i point out to him he's embarrasing himself.

truffles: i have no basis to make any..
