mircea_popescu: yea he was eaerly mining it i recall
mod6: (23:08) <+rg> i got $9k in LTC burning a hole in my pocket
mod6: rg has been active in -otc, he's into ltc now i guess.
mircea_popescu: Namworld site aside. i recall him since 2011
Doffx: I think I should ask if he would pay me 5 more btc to have it updated.
Doffx: kakobrekla, the funny part about the bitvps is I helped him clean that add up, he paid me 5 btc and I gave 30$ usd to the artist that did it.
mircea_popescu: i love going by all these abandoned sites with btc frozen prices
Doffx: Oh I have been around a long time, mircea_popescu has always been making a killing.
Doffx: I dont think hes sacrificing anything, I think hes making a killing and getting to look like the big boy at the same time.
OgNasty: but i respect that you are more of an architect than a player.
mircea_popescu: how do i not have a stake ?
MJR_: i think people are basically saying that the market is super biased in one direction...it doesn't take a lot of skill to guess up
mod6: i think you might want to read up on how mpex works
Lyspooner: he has the correct side on, i'm sure
pizzaman1337: I think it's awesome, he's sacrificing for the "greater good" of bitcoin
OgNasty: because i wouldn't i guess.
OgNasty: i am just surprised you would take the passive approach.
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder i c :)
Doffx: I still dont fully understand the options, I had it figured out once, but now its back to being foreign to me.
Bugpowder: I have NO PROBLEM with the current state
mircea_popescu: i don't understand why people are so aggressed at the notion speculators made money.
OgNasty: i know i personally would like to be in control of which way my exposure was swayed...
OgNasty: i have no idea. i'm always impressed with how the idea is catching on. i heard roseanne barr owns bitcoins now.
mircea_popescu: if there's not a lot of exposure i don't really care either way
mircea_popescu: if i carry a lot (a lot!) of sold calls on the book and price goes up then i can hurt. if it doesn't then mpex makes bank
OgNasty: i see.
mircea_popescu: i can end up either long or short BTC on that book, depending what people did
OgNasty: yes. i didn't think you were passive.
mircea_popescu: i'm passive. do you understnad how mpoe options work ?
OgNasty: perhaps i should read more.
OgNasty: not i. i just wonder what i'm missing between you not being bearish and losing on an increase in price.
mircea_popescu: taub yeah i dare go on a limb and say it's not so common this stuff.
taub: not really fair, but i understand how it can be hard to implement
Lyspooner: i don't know, i'm trying to get julian assange sprung so we can go there together
Lyspooner: i bought sweden, sorry

mircea_popescu: meh. i kinda like eastern europe tbh.
mircea_popescu: i don't like the beach
assbot: How can I be of assistance, my poor man?
kakobrekla: well i made shit compared to that.
mircea_popescu: i made ~200mn past year.
Doffx: I am making insane extra side cash, but no way I could live off it.
Doffx: I need to put more effort in to it.
Doffx: If I remember correctly kakobrekla was living off BTC income a very long time ago.
deadweasel: although when i'm not at work i clickem all
pigeons: i dont click links in this channel anyway, too much porn

deadweasel: ask a real miner. i'm a minor miner
jborkl_: i had 12 hours myself, I am sure there are longer
mircea_popescu: pgp i dunno but everyone mining it has real long penises...
pgp: I wonder what "work" would consist of with cockoin...
deadweasel: I'll mine.
mircea_popescu: depending on context i think simply another alt chain being worth more would mean i move.
mircea_popescu: "i see x dork on tv, must mean he's rich"
mircea_popescu: i'm just a little sick of this super-superficial attitude
InstantBTC: ah. now I see what the other guy in #bitcoin-otc meant by get sarcasm detector working before coming here lol
InstantBTC: I don't think tf2 hats have a strong enough influence on... any economy to make anything worth 1 million lol
mircea_popescu: InstantBTC i see both arguments
InstantBTC: I think that's probably the biggest adoption this week
taub: i see a lot of sites accepting donations with bitcoins tho
taub: I don't see the adoption yet
InstantBTC: what I see is the buying wall shrinking
Namworld: maybe but... I don't think that's the case
InstantBTC: mircea_popescu, interesting point but I agree with namworld
deadweasel: don't, i will hold minus 5% profit leak at intervals
Namworld: If it reach 1000 I'll go nuts
unbalanced_: According to Dr. Rodrigue, the "media attention" phase we're in now is just The Beginning of the run-up: http://i.imgur.com/iMjfGf7.jpg
Namworld: I was wondering if we'd reach 100, I said, we just have to reach 100 before it pops...
Doffx: I think we see 1000 before this ends at this rate.
unbalanced_: Dudes, I was being facetious. https://www.google.ca/search?q=facetious
deadweasel: i hope so!
Doffx: and I can pay it off with bubbled BTC
deadweasel: this is expected. in that i expected antything at any moment.
Doffx: OMG I am alarmed!
deadweasel: unbalanced_: i am not alarmed.
unbalanced_: Listen, I don't want to alarm anyone, but I think we may be heading towards bubble territory soon. Just sayin'.
mircea_popescu: i guess people are learning the value of keeping your btc on mpex ?

deadweasel: let it crash, i'll buy in again with profits
TomServo: I agree.
TomServo: Bugpowder | I think we have reached the top for the day. << 5 mins later, new top. Sillyness.
unbalanced_: I'm not an export though.
gesell: that is what i wanted to know
Bugpowder: I think we have reached the top for the day.
jcpham: i'll be priced out soon if i don't keep up
jcpham: mircea_popescu i payed 188 yesterday and almost got sick about it
jcpham: i wouldn't have payed 188 yesterday if i thought we'd see it again
jcpham: but what do i know
jcpham: i think 188 isn't happening again anytime soon
deadweasel: should i let my 188s expire or sell?
Bugpowder: I guesss the wall got impatient
