mircea_popescu: artifexd it's an educated guess, like anything else. the educated part is significant, but i've not published it. it's
a complicated thing, this. i tend to readily publish the dirt on actors when they fuck up, like the sec misadventure. but it's kind-of unsportsmanlike to do the same when they're just acting rationally. anyway, complicated matter.

a later time, when teh people have had time to grind themselves down.

a local militia
mircea_popescu: to leverage the fact that we have
a 50 year history of price signal in that asset.

a good approach, perhaps, would be to create
a class of similar bets and follow them over the history of brk.
a mircea_popescu: los_pantalones i was hoping for something more along the lines of
a set of numeric examples, or in any sense some math analysis. opinion based we've had already, such as for instance :

a whole pants thing

Namworld: Bounce, if someone took it from the hacker and spammed the users telling them "We already have your docs, come trade on
a good BTC market! *LINK*"
fluffypony:
a lot of heavy traders aren't going to want to reinvest fresh capital and then still have to pay for compatability with whatever platform they use
bounce: depends
a bit on what you could do with that. though apparently you could've grabbed that yourself, seeing the guys that first promised not to sell the loot, then offered to sell it anyway.
bounce: could be
a TLAgency front. then again, why go through all the trouble? might as well set up one anew.
bounce: then call it
a day. then what?
a rotten website and trading "engine", an unwilling user base (I mean... well, they didn't walk away before, did they?), and, trouble with nosy 'merkin regulators. what'd be in it for them?
Namworld: The name seems to be
a bad coincidence. An awful one even.
artifexd: and
a gun to scare you off your phone is the height of idiocy.

a bad thing that i'm the search engine for my blog

A B! I can conceive of no reason that someone that high up the food chain would give two shits about what I think or why I think it.
benkay: so an entity with an intelligence arm claims
a thing is true and says 'get stuffed' when you ask 'but how ams u knooooow?'. how as
a prole in -assets are you going to ever verify something the entity spent an unknown amount of money discovering?
artifexd: Unless his "I got my own nsa" statement was not
a joke and was actually
a comment on his research team.
benkay:
a not entirely thing to say about mircea_popescu's sources is that there's

a very good laters!
