mircea_popescu: used to be known as "i'll break your arms off and beat you to shit with them", back in the day.
mircea_popescu: "i'll pay your son to rape your wife with money taken from your house" is the byline of the revolution. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i call this... the obamacare.
mircea_popescu: and now they gotta pay more for the priviledge of having paid in the past.
mircea_popescu: but - they spent all this time and effort, to protect something... that they just lost control of.
mircea_popescu: but the race is on, and somehow they will have to pay largesse to the mob. whence from ? we'll see.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "sent back to legitimate owners" in the sense of maybe.
asciilifeform: (are they simply out of circulation? or usable somewhere)
mircea_popescu: orlov has a hardon for putin, but putin never ever came close to this.
mircea_popescu: never in modern history has anyone made the lizzards eat their own vomit to the degree of splendour.
asciilifeform: i have not been keeping up with the details: where did the 'eth' fork people move the dao coins to ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the eth "rednecks" are "acting against their own interest". as per usg verbiage now current. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: so ? usg.mit spent close to 100mn to prop up eth for the past month ; now they're in the position where "the bad hacker" has a shitton of eth-c to give to "the people" to vote for him. they will, what's more, as per the usg system THEY ARE RIGHT TO. it is the "correct" modern-democracy socialist thing to do.

mircea_popescu: the case of the unfucked middle aged woman is entirely illustrative here.
mircea_popescu: well yes singular. globalization amirite ? all lies merge if they get large enough.
mircea_popescu: so much so they actually welcome rape as salvation.\
mircea_popescu: idem stupid, idem desocialized. the fundamental problem is that they believe a lie, and the lie became more important than anything, and as such they literally live in those vats.
mircea_popescu: and for the exact same reason, entirely lost real anchoring.
mircea_popescu: lazy, stupid and desocialized, but not at all for genetic reasons. they're lazy like a schizophrenic patient with waxy paralysis is "lazy".

mircea_popescu: no, they're ustards^2. they "just want things to be good"
asciilifeform: i dun have a solid feel for what it is that ar folk actually ~want~ from life
mircea_popescu: resolving the "live as dog or die as rat" dilemma by "it's easier to die as rat" seems stupid, but then again who knows what goes on through old whore's head. (her ass.)

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i would have taken these pesos, on some reasonable conditions.
mircea_popescu: but old whore wants to die as rat.

mircea_popescu: with the requisite deals, certainly.
asciilifeform: in the requisite qty ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu would take their playmoneyz ?
asciilifeform: paint the picture for my education: where should the gang have bought btc ?

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-27#1510384 << this might not be as monumentally stupid as it appears to be: what ~else~ can orc 1) buy 2) hide 3) sell, even for a tenth of what he paid, later ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-27#1510311 << you first split the pot by self-sending, then send off the splits. the speciffic attack is discussed in the logs, iirc davout even had a mock implementation back when it looked like the imbeciles may be dumb enough to need the stick applied physically. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i kid you not, with this. i know it's absurd. but she did do it.
mircea_popescu: they do this. president cash-bought 100+ cars as "retirement" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: they have some sort of tribal arrangement, but fuck me if i can explain it sensibly.

asciilifeform: who exactly will cash-buy the $150K cockroach flats in buenos aires ?
asciilifeform: and looking at the ar real estate catalogue, i would bet same is true there

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-27#1510308 << doh. as was explained back in the day we for the first time in "the blockchain technology space" explained how a hard fork resolves economically, cca 2014ish. meanwhile the "technology leaders" of one intern and rented offices got a little overrun by events. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: we have a sign inversion and they have a graph crossing.
mircea_popescu: first, "epsilon" going the wrong way. soon enough, that's 10% then 1000% then infinity% AND STILL KEEPS GROWING.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2014/the-battlefield-of-the-future/#selection-89.90-89.662 << this at work, ever again, in all socialist processes.
asciilifeform: who the hell lives in 500 in usa ?!
mircea_popescu: irl, closer to 50%.
mircea_popescu: it was epsilon back in the day, when the shit was getting started, 1980s.
asciilifeform: well the only thing behind the 5000 is that the workerbee owes 5000-epsilon
mircea_popescu: how to ruin a beautiful thing. start taking in the ustardian propaganda, actually believe it, there you go.
mircea_popescu: "why live in sane country making 500 a month ? come to AMERICA!!!11 make 5000 a month except pay 3000 here and 1800 there and 300 there and 50 there and 15 rthere and no you can't stop these fucking terrorist, you want to bring your own tribal ways to civilisation ?!?!?! make 5000 a month means you owe 500 each month! doh!"
mircea_popescu: there was that, also. separate.
mircea_popescu: back in communist romania, "oamenii muncii" ie the "men of working" had to pay whatever off paycheck each month for "investments". just about the same thing, really.
mircea_popescu: if you think about it, it's a fucking great ploy to get people perma-subscribed to those "services" like they're perma-subscribed to "paying MIT & friends hedge funds".

trinque: surely by now no one around here is taking pride in his mastery of the great english language.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-27 14:13 felipelalli: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-16#1503818 << mircea_popescu a) the main issue to me is the language, I'm afraid w/ my English, I'd like to dominate more than I do. b) I'm sorry for that too. It's being very hard to keep up to date here, you guys are too fast for me! :) Also again the language is an obstacle sometimes which makes 3x harder to undertand than the normal.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-27#1510292 << the language is an obstacle in understanding just like the hymen is an obstacle in fucking. grind that shit down! then it won't be an obstacle anymore. ☝︎
