furuknap: I don't know, that's the point. If I had the solution, I would tell you, honestly :-)

furuknap: OK, so here's one problem that current asset market doesn't solve. Insider trading or what we consider unethical price manipulation, legal or otherwise. I don't have a solution, but a BTC-based or derived system may bring forth ideas that could control or somehow reverse illegal actions, as defined by whatever jurisdiction.

furuknap: I'll still argue that you're stuck, though, mp. Colored coins in the BTC blockchain may not work, but nothing prevents an alternate chain, tailored to the needs of an asset market, to evolve. Thinking in terms of what is possible or conceivable now is limiting.

furuknap: mp, I hadn't seen that internet story video. Very, very cool, thanks for sharing.

furuknap: "And to sweeten the deal and get those shares moving I've decided to chuck in my bitcoin advertising earnings from my NSFW monetized Porn blogs as a monthly bonus dividend" <- I mean, c'mon, how can one _not_ take the mining asset market seriously?

furuknap: mp, I think I also spoke to that no later than today somewhere :-) Look, I think I understand what you mean, and if I do, my analysis follows that suit, albeit with likely different evaluations of risk and hope.

furuknap: The commoditizaion is why I want to look at profitability in mining companies over the long term, and thus why I sold out of AM earlier.

furuknap: I've read it previously. I was attending that thread a bit later on.

furuknap: I also know that, I'm a big fan of numbersd, remember? :-) I've run the scenarios so many times I see Excel sheets in the back of my eyelids when I blink.

furuknap: *...I hold some mining assets

furuknap: Oh, I know that. Mining is an investment in dropping prices. I hate it every time I see BTC go up because I hold some mining

furuknap: This is the halving effect I've been touting for the past few weeks in practice. We know that once a more powerful bond comes online, the less powerful bonds will drop in dividends. It's simple math, plus and minus. So why aren't anyone even noticing this?

furuknap: You would somehow expect that if PAJKA (or any other bond, really, I'm not picking on them) would be dropping in price to match the value of the share once more powerful bonds like 100TH (or anyone, really and I'm not praising them either) come online.

furuknap: I would argue mad, and by mad I mean that there is no correlation between numbers and decisions and people seem to not notice in the least.

furuknap: The mining asset market is completely bonkers. Absolutely insane. Its investors are equally utterly and undeniably mad. Most likley, that includes me. There, now I said it. Carry on.
