MJR__: ah, so you think that the fact I know the name "Mircea Popescu" makes me feel safe?
mircea_popescu: they say o sure i read it, but persevere.
MJR__: I agree totally, and although credit and debt will creep into bitcoin more, I think that doing something 100:1 in BTC will seem ridiculous for a long term strategy
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many people realise just what a formbidable threat to stability and ultimately survival JIT is for the US.
MJR__: lol I thought he was
mircea_popescu: i am.
thestringpuller: I feel like you're in your 30's
mod6: i had half a mind to troll that tweet
MJR__: I retweeted that this morning
mod6: but then i guess there's this that says: On September 14, 2012, Egan-Jones cut its rating a third time from AA to AA-, the lowest of what is considered "high grade", as a reaction to QE3.
mod6: its like AA+ now i think
thestringpuller: I thought the US was C-
mircea_popescu: i say and sign underneath.
MJR__: I don't agree
MJR__: they don't see mine cuz I don't have one
MJR__: I meant that afaik mpex sees your account (gpg key)
jurov: lol license.. can i have a licensed badge?
MJR__: I have s.dice, do you see my position on mpex?
MJR__: lemme do more research before I speculate
gesell: i mean the new files for bitcoin-qt (the fact that the full old chain isnt there anymore)
MJR__: jurov: I agree
gesell: question, I would like to replicate some of dooglus work on monitoring Sdice... are the BitcoinArmory scripts updated to work with the new chain structure ?
MJR__: lets say I had 100 shares of aapl, but want bitcoin...
MJR__: I don't think it had to be anon to the parties involved
mircea_popescu: and without viable escrow, the deal simply is, "i ar anon, send monyz plz thx"
MJR__: I was saying that stock is directly transferred
MJR__: I believe that's the point of tor...
MJR__: I can send my stock to whatever account I want iirc
MJR__: ACAT it to another account I guess
mircea_popescu: yet i am going to send valuable btc to some anon noob.
mircea_popescu: so i can currently take a fiart position in any stock, fund, whatever, by calling my browser.
jurov: i don't say they are actually usable or not, tho
MJR__: that guy: Skype chat and I'll give you financial advice
mircea_popescu: well i think so. how we check ?
mircea_popescu: i fail to see any difference.
mircea_popescu: how is it completely different. it works on the premise "i'm nobody give me dough".
taub: depends where you live I guess, for example i think spread betting is still tax free in the uk
taub: Oh i see
taub: i'm sure he'll manage the coins, he just wont send them back
mircea_popescu: MJR__ i have no idea.
MJR__: I think bitcoin is so volatile, that you could have a second order derivative of its volatility (fun)
thestringpuller: i was excited this weekend at price stability
thestringpuller: now I am doing strictly btc
thestringpuller: i did puts on aapl in oct
MJR__: short straddle means I want price to stay steady
saulimus: I know nothing of options, but are they that much more profitable than simply buying/selling USD/BTC directly?
MJR__: also I couldn't get options far enough out of the money
thestringpuller: i think that made 250% but only because it was so close to expiration
MJR__: but I didn't hold like I should have
MJR__: month before I had calls in the 20's I think?
MJR__: I like to leave bids out for calls at a price I think makes sense, get filled cuz of volatility
MJR__: well, I think I got 41 calls, not sure when, but I exercised at 71
thestringpuller: i can make 1btc on 6 coins from writing
MJR__: all I've done is but calls
taub: i think he was being saracstic (i hope)
MJR__: then again, I've told you my med term target $2700
MJR__: saulimus: I agree...just don't find it accurate FOR ME
taub: i still get a feel for the "buzz" in irc, but it's usually just buzzing back what prices are showing already anyway
MJR__: not cuz I see a "cup and handle" or "head and shoulders"
taub: as long as it gets price to move, good then i can trade it
taub: well i dont care about those
taub: that is one underlying cause to everything, i dont need to know it
iz: i disagree
MJR__: I disagree
iz: taub: i didn't mean any offense, but i do strongly suggest you consider looking at causes when trading
taub: i gave my opinion, im not gonna go into some ta debate again
iz: sorry, i didn't maen that to come out that way
mircea_popescu: KRS1 actually i have.
taub: i dont think about causes
MJR__: I think the number im looking for in long term stability is ~2700
iz: taub: i find with trends it's better to identify the CAUSE of the chart move, and then determine if you are seeing a similar cause happen and then notice the effect on the chart
MJR__: well, all im saying is im glad I have the 164 call
MJR__: I know many women who love bitcoins :)
KRS1: until women dig em i'll say meh
iz: let's start including reasons for our guesses when we voice them.. for example, i think 200 can happen real fast because of something something
mircea_popescu: it could happen, and i bet you it'd be faster than you'd think
deadweasel: its coming. i threw the bones .. they sgree.
taub: I think 200 can happen real fast
MJR__: that's what I've heard today
mircea_popescu: a, i can add more at any time
MJR__: lol I didn't mean it that way...context
kakobrekla: or have I? :)
punkman: wait, I meant Nick Offerman
MJR__: so I could see gold hitting 2k/oz
punkman: I like Jack Offerman
MJR__: but I know how many pounds of money I have
MJR__: I don't know how much money I have
MJR__: I saw that yesterday!
MJR__: I do watch P&R
MJR__: I think the fed is depressing the price of gold
ThickAsThieves: i dont know enough about how such things work, but I suppose it's at least possible for there to be a macro economy that encompasses much of newly printed money
MJR__: think about it...how can I keep printing so fast, and prices are relatively stable?
MJR__: I think there is a bolus of cash making its way to the markets...once it clogs that...embolism of the economy
ThickAsThieves: i think social media has come a long way, and a 3rd party might indeed be able to "go viral"
MJR__: and I also think that big change is coming
MJR__: and I predict bitcoin will be mentioned during debates
MJR__: I think in 2016, monetary policy will be big during elections
MJR__: and while I don't want it to grow too fast, it's no ones to control
MJR__: ThickAsThieves: I hope not also
MJR__: we'll see, but I think this will be known as the summer of bitcoin
