mircea_popescu: if someone makes a powerpoint they may be worth a fuck, but if someone makes a pdf its not worth your time.
mircea_popescu: bingo's just as tortured, but it looks maybe more fit to thrive.
mircea_popescu: you know, the same way "phenotypically divergent" does not necessarily mean an extremely skinny chick with extremely large tits and improbably long legs. it could also mean disproportionately large head
mircea_popescu: my point was entirely that the first sale thing prolly won't take you far.
mircea_popescu: be like, "yeah, it's a fake, but you can't do jack because this guy paid that guy ten bux for it."

mircea_popescu: you may recall a deffective automobile even if the owner is the owner not you

mircea_popescu: and make a "bitcoin" that has no more bitcoin in it at all.
mircea_popescu: what may perhaps happen is a day when gavin, mike and co finally go full-ethereum
mircea_popescu: mike_c think of it strategically. won't it be funny when usgavin is stuck arguing that a) he's forking bitcoin and b) it's the real bitcoin ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c the crocodile that opens maw to let stuff in, then lets water back out is not following toads lead.
