pankkake: I guess he wants to sell at more than 105%
ThickAsThieves: you can't win: "Hey man, in your reply here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=265287.msg2867044#msg2867044 I appreciate that you're just trying to make people more informed about how this particular instrument works, but I don't really think it's your place to do so. If people are going to purchase an investment vehicle without understanding how it works and then end up taking
pankkake: it's not all bad though, given I highly profit from it for now :p
pankkake: I invested in MININGCO.ETF, the spread is crazy
pankkake: I'm teasing you
ThickAsThieves: i think the only definite thing is that when the price moves, everything moves a little
pankkake: I guess some people will want to cash out, but is it significant enough?
pankkake: there are various theories but I'm not particularly convinced of many of them
pankkake: It's funny how they actually never stop terrorists. I mean, if it happened, it would be all over the news
freeroute: not by genetics, but with enough effort I can make that happen yeah no problem
freeroute: don't worry, I'll have pics to verify my authenticity
freeroute: I should start a Ripple Mining Bond
scrybe: they are big enough that I'm wondering what the big deal is on a strategic agreement with seagate, yeah, they are that big
weex: private and backed by venture capital so that's why i asked
scrybe: ok, define what I'm supposed to be reassured of? that a long standing expert is not going to suddenly go away?
scrybe: they are on picostocks, I don't really follow it
weex: I notice they're not in the ticker here
scrybe: (BTW, I'm positive on ACTM, just confused about relevance of the seagate thing)
lq_: I think they are seperate
scrybe: so tell us, does that announcement bode well or ill? I can spin it either way
kleeck: Yeah. They are under NDA, so until that is lifted and we can see the details I don't expect may eASIC news to make waves.
pankkake: I know that
dandate2: does the history tab est annual BTC say how much i'll get with all my shares, or the yield per share?
Rulother__: I have a friend, a dumb one, that I've been trying to explain how much of a scam it is
dexX7_: and i assume someone from bitex should have seen it till now
mjr_: but was it them? i doubt it
mjr_: the reasons i was skeptical, is because they didn't use the company name
dexX7_: i think the author is a bitcoin user
mjr_: easier and easier to game media outlets i think
Canth: yeah, i expect better from the WSJ when announcing any $200M deal - forget BTC
Canth: fair enough - I'm not saying it's a real story and I'd question certainly the amount of $ invested
matuszed: I get it
Canth: I agree, it doesn't make sense unless they are flat out betting on BTC in a major way that can't be done just buying it directly.
mjr_: i don't think the price really moved much though
Rulother__: I did manage to double up on some stocks
kleeck: I was half lol'ing last night and half appalled at the ridiculous reaction people had to that article.
Rulother__: I'll write this up on my list on reasons not to read the paper and believe the mms
dexX7: i cant believe this!
ThickerThanThiev: i find it pretty hard to believe
mjr_: so i would not give that credence
mjr_: and i told everyone, the day of the thailand news, that it was silly
mjr_: i'm saying, the article mentioned was specifically talking about asics, and yifu
mjr_: i think its because of the fact that avalon actually came in reasonably on time
mjr_: last time i talked to yifu, he said that gen 2 chips were already done
mjr_: i know
mjr_: i mean like price going to $200 bullish
mjr_: so i doubt its another avalon
mjr_: so i gave it a little more credence
Rulother-pc_: So I thought the 200 million dollar investment was fake
mjr_: i mean, actually mind boggling
jurov: send thanks to mircea_popescu. but i improved it a bit by specifying clear limit.
pankkake: I see - you would get the money now but pay back later, hopefully less
dexX7: ah i see
dexX7: i know
Exocyst: Oh I don't want fiat, I just want increased BTC<-->LTC liquidity
kidkrypto: fuck i'm glad i took that small profit on btc garden now
Rawted: on btct.co that i
PsychoticBoy: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fVmf4PE.jpg[/IMG]
thestringpuller: but I'm talkinga bout ASICMINER
dexX7: today doesn't look good for mining companies i guess
naemsi: more freedomhost news than tor news as i parsed it
dub: if you mean dubstep, I did stop listening to it after about 10 minutes
dexX7: i guess once it's out, other news will jump on it
dub: anyone with paywall access see the author? not matonis I hope
matuszed: I know
pigeons: i thought he doesnt keep the keys
dexX7: i have no idea
dub: I have doubts
dexX7: yea sure, but i'm sure there are ways to create temper proofed stuff
dexX7: <frb> it's amazing how many people want to hold something in their hands though, nad i can respect tha << that's true. and a solution could be to issue paper notes which represent a bitcoin value - exchangable for real bitcoin and maybe even insured for those who are afraid of hacks
dub: got a small amount of food etc as contingency until I can get to the land, obv
dub: I shouldn't need a bunker but I have land and know how to farm and hunt
dub: so many libertards around, I guess they were going to sell
frb: it's amazing how many people want to hold something in their hands though, nad i can respect tha
frb: i had the chance too, i just thought it was a stupid fad
frb: but yeah, i rather agree with deb, i'm still sad i didn't buy casacius coins when they first started though :p
frb: i hope you explained what bitcoins were so she didn't feel ripped off
thestringpuller: I didn't say tamper proof exists as of now!
thestringpuller: I also tipped a hot waitress with one.
thestringpuller: I've spent one before
BigBitz: I thought that :)
dexX7: i stumbled upon BALS
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i can't say it shouldn't, obviously. which is the similarity with ThickAsThieves' situation.
mircea_popescu: i bet you the forum'd be replete with "omg scam"
pankkake: +7%, it's not too crazy. however I put up some sell orders at +19% face value just in case someone goes mad :p
ThickAsThieves: i'm referring to like 1-5% or so
ThickAsThieves: yeah and read what i said after too
ThickAsThieves: so i guess i need to warn people not to overpay for xbond...
mircea_popescu: o i recall this thing
dexX7: i looked up the returns
dexX7: talking about bitcoin investments.. i'm still wondering what the main motivation was to buy satoshidice
mircea_popescu: (with my copy of it i mean)
dexX7: i just recall a short interview where munger said it's ratpoison
Rawted: I. This is the largest investment in a BTC company to date. In spite of all the talk happening on internet forums, at pointless conferences and anywhere else, Bitcoin finance begins and ends on MPEx. This is because Bitcoin is not about talking and not based on proof of talk.
mircea_popescu: i imagine they want to make a 20nm process
dexX7: k.. "start mining today, make lots of B" isn't really attractive for usual people i guess
dexX7: when they do an $200m investment, i'm sure they want to promote it
dexX7: well.. maybe i'm getting to excited
FabianB: if that news is real i think they're speculating on an increase of btc price itself too
KRS1: If I were their CEO I would not sleep that well at night imo
