I know about it :)
dub: BA is all chavs on tour

jurov:

mjr_: its just mapping those feelings onto a specific experience, which is why
i recommend going through it at least once
San1ty_: ThickAsThieves Are you here,
I need you man?
mjr_: Namworld:
i think that you filter them based on how they make you feel in some ways,
i think we usually have instincts
topace: (not that
i had any doubts)
rulother:
I will take part in this, depending on pricing
Namworld:
I disagree with the getting to know the other part... It's just that by doing so, your aim shouldn't be to know the other party or act upon any stories he makes up, which is irrelevant to the transaction.
rulother:
I can usually muster 1-3 btcs out of it daily
rulother:
I always sell/buy my AM shares everyday
mjr_: if only
i could borrow shares
Namworld: Paypal verified = "
I'm using someone's else verified Paypal account!"
San1ty_:
I've had it for today guys.
mjr_: say something like "
i've never really done this before"
rulother: shit 696, oh well
I suppose heh
mjr_: oh, you aren't at your home computer
I CAN PICTURE MYSELF BEING IN THAT SITUATION, sure it's ok that you don't authenticate
mjr_: and
i think you are too now
mjr_: lol, 1 btc is plenty, and
i am well innoculated
Namworld: 1500?
I sold 696 ASICMINER for 0.4 BTC a piece.
mjr_: but
i think mircea_popescu's article was great
pigeons:
i will help anyone who would like to try that suggestion
San1ty_:
I can be your scammer for today.
mjr_:
i was going to write a blog post about this
rulother: yeah
I know, being an investor those things will haunt you, but gotta learn to live with it lol
mjr_: anyway,
i recommend people get a scamming "vaccine" by allowing themselves to be scammed for a small amount
mjr_: if you want to know a real explanation,
i'd suggest reading the hour between dog and wolf
rulother:
I had around 1500 that
I sold off at the beginning
mircea_popescu:
i could list all the "
i could have"'s all the way to billions you know.
mircea_popescu: "
I'm calling to report 'bout my neighbor Virgil Smith....He's hidin' marijuana inside his firewood! Don't quite know how he gets it inside them logs, but he's hidin' it there."
Namworld: So price was lower. It's not such a consolation considering
I kept all my BTC and sold what
I had available at 250.
San1ty_: And when
I track where my 21 BTC went it looks like it went to some fucking dice game...
San1ty_: ThickAsThieves: Ain't helping me now isn't it. But yes
I should do it in the future...
ThickAsThieves: San1ty,
I do AM escrow for .5btc or .5%, whichever is greater. Small price to pay.
mjr_: how do they know
i'll do my part
mjr_: but
i really need you to send the coins now
mjr_: they say, dude,
i promise
i won't fuck you
mjr_: specifically so
i would have a baseline level of what it feels like, and how the process works
San1ty_: Worst part is
I already lost 10 BTC with the Lemon scam story.
mjr_:
i let myself be scammed for one bitcion on otc
San1ty_:
I just hate to be that pain in the ass guy that demands confirmations, escrow, more confirmations...
San1ty_:
I'm just so frustrated with myself...
Apocaly:
i just read the Lemon default thread, seems you're not lucky
San1ty_:
I was retarded, too much good faith in people. Always get punished for that.
mjr_: mircea_popescu:
I also dug up that comic about how the law is unknowable, which is especially relevant due to prism, etc
ThickAsThieves: [10:47] <jurov>
i guess the point is invest or perish? << no, invest AND perish
jurov:
i guess the point is invest or perish?
deadweasel: mircea_popescu,
i knew it was bad when Clinton talked about Glass-Steagall act.... then it just got worse with the mis-reporting of unemployment and every other official number..
mircea_popescu: by then it was probably an inside joke among us side accountants and whatnot
i imagine
mircea_popescu: deadweasel
i wasn't really watching in '95, but it started to smell to me sometime in early 2000s
pankkake:
I just watch the price of my most important food: the duck magret
deadweasel: nice article, mp. the USG accountants have invented a myriad of tricks to mis-report inflation. The misreporting ("adjusting the figures"),
I first became aware of in 95, and it's only gotten worse since then.
San1ty_:
I have a feeling divs are going to be .03
mjr_:
i want to write a blog (our equivalent to tracts,
i suppose) called A Plan of the Bitcoin Commerce: Being a Compleat Prospect of the Trade of this CryptoCurrency, as Well the Home Trade as the Foreign
ThickAsThieves:
I have a PDF of their sorta business plan if anyone is interested...
ThickAsThieves: [07:22] <CryptoCyprus> Hi everyone,
I am in the process of launching a Bitcoin startup here in Cyprus, that will allow for mass adoption.
I am currently investigating the various routes to funding the start up. Its going to require around €1.5m dependant upon the clarification provided by the Central Bank on regulations we must adhere too. Would €1.5m be achievable through the
San1ty_: Maybe he tried to pull a scam but decided against it because it seems some people realized
I made a payment earlier.
San1ty_: If
I look at his dividend address there seems to be only one payment by me.
San1ty_: he just sent me a statement but did CC me, so he might be lying.
I sent an entire transcript of our conversation to friedcat.
San1ty_: well
I bought some shares from a guy, but he's trying to sell the same shares multiple times it seems.
cosmo: yeah, and work sucks, especially when 80% of what's out there is retail, so
i want my money to work for me.
cosmo: well, personally
i believe the world we're in right now is only going to slowly deteriorate
Skitchen: the problem
I have is knowing whether
I'm learning 'useful' stuff or just stuff =/
cosmo: that's what
i was thinking
cosmo: nope,
i'm some kid. which is why
i want to invest, while
i'm young.
matthew_boyd: If the answer to that question is yes,
I am Matthew and
I am pleased to meet you.
Skitchen:
I could be wrong but
I think the winged cow market is skyrocketing atm
matthew_boyd:
I also understand, it could have a much stronger and superior brother
matthew_boyd: Thank goodness you get it, because
I barely do :P
cosmo:
i understand what you mean matthew_boyd, but what
i'm thinking is that bitcoin is open source, and still kind of beta,
i'm not entirely convinced it won't be dominated by a superior version
matthew_boyd: What
I have in mind is like 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25 = smaller
matthew_boyd: Yea,
I have it in my head, finding it hard to get it on paper
cosmo: probably the same reasons why one should hold bitcoins regardless but sure,
i'll learn something
matthew_boyd: cosmo, can
I tell you why
I think you should invest with Bitcoins in bitcoin companies?
cosmo: well damn... that's what
i'm looking for.
ertyctnseldom:
i'm not aware of any business related to bitcoin, which could be invested into easily
cosmo: but as there's still a huuuuuge amount of room for crypto's to grow in..
i'd like to find a promising startup company to gamble some fiat in
cosmo: the way
i see it, holding bitcoin is investment enough... using it to buy stocks is, eh.. "rickety"
cosmo: yeah, a couple, and
i understand you can invest bitcoins, but
i'd rather invest with fiat
cosmo: which is why
i want to invest in a group of people who utilize cryptocurrency, like bitpay.
cosmo:
i understand how crypto's work and strongly believe they'll have a huge impact on our future (who doesn't?) but with it being open source it's anyones guess as to what system is most optimal
