mircea_popescu: ", it scares me how much of a witch hunt is going on for MtGox and I wonder if MtGox is undergoing the same treatment that the Bitcoinica Consultancy received and if those criticizing MtGox are simply doing the bidding of Tihan Seale and his friends."

kakobrekla: yea i bet.
kakobrekla: Really need to write a post about the first half of the day but right now I need food more.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm still enjoying the delightful bitcoinica scamsultancy cadaver washing in unicorn tears megapost.
truffles: <mircea_popescu> all bureaucrats i met are either failures, boring and evil>>> isnt this to be expected if they were a success..
mircea_popescu: i doubt there's going to ever be a btc millionaire.
asciilifeform: I find it amusing that that kind of sum gives you media bragging rights
thestringpuller: I would think anything dependent on Gox is doomed from the start...
asciilifeform: I mean, I understand the hallowed tradition of building expensive smoke and mirror contraptions for the government to buy. But straight-out paper fraud is in some ways more honourable. At least the latter doesn't tie up the time and energy of people who could be doing actual, useful engineering.
mircea_popescu: i would say there's exactly zero difference between your average bureaucrat and your average bitcoinite, such as https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=209159.msg2193424#msg2193424
mircea_popescu: i think jurov has it.
mircea_popescu: all bureaucrats i met are either failures, boring and evil
asciilifeform: jurov: nope. but I did read the papers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was commenting about how ppl will "invest" in anything just as long as itwon't work.

truffles: so i guess u guys dont watch world hockey
truffles: i want 10 btcs !
ThickAsThieves: (i know it's "biased")
ThickAsThieves: I am bias

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i tell you something : other than a little too prideful for their own good (which comes with youth)
mircea_popescu: i sorta wish i had went to the tortilla node thing
ThickAsThieves: i made a design for him
mircea_popescu: i imagine it's why people went
ThickAsThieves: i kinda wish i had gone now
mircea_popescu: but this aside : i thought this is a conference thing
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves if it's all the same to you i'd much rather very motivated 20somethings don't "educate" anyone.
furuknap: Yeah, I know only hard work, etc... My issue is I'm already working hard, so not sure I'd like to add the extra work.
furuknap: Well, it's better to learn with a small asset. My book would at the very best revenue $20K. I could float a fund, keep face value in escrow, pay dividends based on sales. Sales would be crypto only.
ThickAsThieves: and ultimately decided i'd rather keep 100% of my folio
furuknap: It's the 'lotsa work' I'd rather avoid ;-)
ThickAsThieves: i debated it
furuknap: Maybe I'll IPO my book...
