I hate to bring this up again.. that article "You Can Raise It But You Can't Spend It" still doesn't make sense to me.
benkay:

I'd be good at it, but maybe
I read so much it's possible

benkay: 's not like
i came up with it myself
the20year: The only hope that
I have looking forward, the reason investors back us is because our company can arbitage low interest rates in fiat to then repay them in a manner that *hopefully* will outpace bitcoin
mircea_popescu:
i guess we managed to conserve purchasing power parity or what was the line ?

I suppose it can go the other way too.
mike_c: well if you want a fiat CD
i'm pretty sure those are available..
KRS1:
I'd rather not receive dividends in btc

pankkake: decentralized autonomous corporation and the other

KRS1: However dividends paid out would make it equal
i suppose.
KRS1: If
I'm an investor in a company using bitcoin and the day after my investment, bitcoin market price shoots upward and remains high, it kind of sucks
I'm still investor X having invested only btc $Y.
mircea_popescu: and some shitty thing run by

i'd rather work forwards
kakobrekla: ok
i have this crazy and mostly useless thing one sec
mircea_popescu: benkay suppose
i give you the half-bitcoin
i have leftover from the painting thing ? but srsly, do it thoroughly, don't leave anything out.
kakobrekla:
i dont think its even possible to do complete list
mircea_popescu: cex.io peopl have been bitching about but
i've not heard something subsytantive.
jurov: oh yes then.
i'd really like to see the cherry truck selection meeting
benkay: ah well there is a mistake in there isn't it - the way
i understand the selection to work is that an exercise hits everyone who underwrote proportionately to the fraction of outstanding contracts that they wrote
kakobrekla: the, the customs will be like "dude,
i won the bet but you paid less than
i sent, come with me for a sec"
jurov:

mike_c:

kakobrekla:

kakobrekla: >That Lambo is not really a significant part of my investment portfolio.
I did it when
I did cuz of Greenspan saying he could not see any "intrinsic value" in BTC. So
I was like fuck it, people don't care about intrinsic value, they care about shit like Lambos. Did it for the PR.
kakobrekla: >
I guess
I will answer the best
I can. It is really about being in the right place at the right time.
I have done really well and also lost my ass in the past.
I have pretty much been involved in just about anything BTC related that was not an obvious scam, and some that where.
