mircea_popescu: <MirceaPopescu> and i feel it's mine to point out to you that you're the [unthinking] representative of everything that's wrong with the world generally, and United Stupid particularly.
mircea_popescu: <gurlwest> its possible but there is such a thing as responsibility, and i feel its mine to point out that Zyklon B is highly offensive and brings this place into disrepute
mircea_popescu: in unrelated news : some guy named zyklon_b joins some chatroom, buncha derps throw a fit, i tell em to stfu, which results in private messaging and ragequits :
mircea_popescu: but who knows, right ? it's "not decided yet". he's not come here to have his construction taken apart ; the fork's not actually been destroyed in the field, and "we don't know for sure it's a scam" etc.
mircea_popescu: if you as much as sneeze it all comes crumbling down, and yet he's stupidly put all that effort into it... like a blind seal or something.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's funny just how self-contradictory the guy is, and how carefully crafted his pile, and how incredibly unstable in spite of all that effort. reading his lengthy posts is sort-of like admiring someone who managed to build a half mile tall chair pile in his quest to get to the moon on chairs.
mircea_popescu: but yes, that is pretty much exactly what your average libertard thinks politics is : "people with no money telling the people with money how they may proceed"
mircea_popescu: PeterL it'll have to be discussed, obv. whoever wants to trade gets to work with me on a ocntract that covers all legitimate concerns.
mircea_popescu: my "buy gavincoin at 25% off still got exactly 0 offers"
mircea_popescu: "Your statement that the new fork won't succeed is nothing but speculation, your guess is only worth as much as anyone else's. No one can claim with any certainty that they know what's going to happen." << late to that party.
mircea_popescu: irrespective of what "sociopolitical ideals" he miught wish to force on others.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron funny hpw that doomad dude neglects to consider the point that "we can all use it" AS IT IS. unless we ALL agree to use it a different way, it is NOT HAPPENING.
mircea_popescu: "social and political revolution" = more of the same shit ; "worshipping at the altar of money" = actual social and political revolution. in the proper sense, as in, the opposite of evolution.
mircea_popescu: "There are those whose only concern is worshiping at the altar of money and turning a profit, whereas others see Bitcoin as a tool for social and political revolution."
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> California threatens to seize land from billionaire if he doesn’t start letting surfers use his beach << for the people! << soooooo ... why would someone own anything in california ?
mircea_popescu: anyway phillipsjk best practice would be to get a cloak.
mircea_popescu: what, the kid just spikes a few kps for five minutes and then that's it, givwesu p ?
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk told you the same in pm lol, did you get that ?
mircea_popescu: tell you what : if there's fifty people willingm to pay 1 dollar and five people willing to pay 10 dollars, and 5 cabs,
mircea_popescu: somehow the obvious "bitch, if you piss in the bed you will be digging ditches naked 18 hours a day for the next five years." isn't quite obvious to gchq angry children.
mircea_popescu: mats: former-head-gchq-warns-ethically-worse-kinds-spying-if-unbreakable-encryption-is-allowed << asswipes in temper tantrum mode. "if we don't get chocolate we will piss in the bet"
mircea_popescu: Adlai: in case it fell between the cracks - i'm always interested in 'alpha testers', especially if they see it as a service rather than a freebie that a sucker on irc will walk them through for his own warm fuzzies << heh the problem of "contests" and "giveaways" etc.
mircea_popescu: davout: one week later, scalpl made 7% profit <<< best rng ever :D
mircea_popescu: sure. get in the wot already, you'll regret each wasted day in a few years.
mircea_popescu: but twenty years later sheer usage has worked the surfaces of the thing into the exact shape of its meaning.
mircea_popescu: i love how "awesome" has come to mean "i think we're not paying these dudes enough". originally teh various journalist herdsmen thought they were being oh so clever
mircea_popescu: Hoodie enables you to express yourself through technology by making web app development very fast, easy and accessible. It's a complete backend for your ...
mircea_popescu: trinque for a minute there i thought hoodie is an actual vc "company"
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller obviously. because the god of reddit hath so ordained that everything that can exist is directly accessible with no effort to anyone, and so... three second's effort is good enuf to form any opinion!
mircea_popescu: but in any case, nature abhors a tension, and it will be resolved.
mircea_popescu: course the more perceptive magic wands try to do the exact same.
mircea_popescu: generally it ends up twisted in the position where the other kids drive the wedge of forcing him to do things his magic wand disapproves of.
mircea_popescu: davout rich kid is ahead of the other kids, because his parents are technically a magic wand. fat kid is behind the other kids, because fat is unappealing. this tension creates very insane sort of behaviours.
mircea_popescu pours some milk, adds some cornflakes, eats it up, spits it out...
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's kinda fun to wake up at 7pm to a bowlful of internet impotent rage.
mircea_popescu: "I'm certain he has no actual experience with that topic, unless you count webcam sessions with the working ladies over at girls gone bitcoin."
mircea_popescu: much like panacea used to work, at least back when f.mpif had an investment.
mircea_popescu: scalpl's irrelevant in this discussion, people don't care about it, people just care "i'm investing with adlai and he keeps the thing going"
mircea_popescu: davout: Adlai: so ppl deposit funds with you, you put them on some exchange (or people push funds to your exchange account) and whatever p/l scalpl makes is distributed among them, minus your fee? << this sounds to me more like a classical fund
mircea_popescu: "Bitcoin's thought-leader hangs out with people who pay underage girls for sex?" wut exactly is this ? i don't hang out with reddit...
mircea_popescu: anyway. scalpl made a killing on the rise ? or got kinda murdered ?
mircea_popescu: "i should spend my time finding grass rather than fish".
mircea_popescu: like... srsly, floats rather than elliptic curve points ?!
mircea_popescu: ah. well honestly, on the face of it, that sounded backwards.
