peterl: whoever owns it could sign
a staement that he is being paid, and MP could sign that?
davout: anyway, just felt
a little stupid when i caught the answer randomly walking around in my brain
davout: mircea_popescu: yo. I found the answer to "how do you know the 15k moving from mpex's public addy is me and not
a hack"
assbot: I haven't understood
a single word you've said since I met you, not one single word.
mircea_popescu: At age 16, Williams won third prize (five dollars) for an essay published in Smart Set entitled, "Can
a Good Wife Be
a Good Sport?"
mircea_popescu: but the girl is doing
a sort-of ok job on the forum, and you can do an ok job on reddit too, if you apply yourself.
mircea_popescu: now, arguably, getting
a bunch of internet retards to submit to objective reality when they have an entire field of self-spawned fiction to bathe in might be pretty hard.
matthew_boyd: mircea_popescu: aye! all thiough I have
a better neich for you, so it's all good! /r/Bitcoin didn't show you much love, doesn't mean Reddit doesn't ;)
mircea_popescu: ericmuyser you have now successfully created
a crisis in my offices. please clarify : did the gf suggest you buy HER
a pair of jeans or buy YOURSELF
a pair of jeans
mircea_popescu: <ericmuyser> girlfriend took me shopping. bought the $100 jeans she suggested not to hurt her feelings. would have rather had an AM usb. cried in closet. <<< congratulations, you are now
a girl.
pankkake: and if you look at the btcguild sellings, they really sell it as something better than
a gpu, that will pay itself off
ThickAsThieves: mp says i'm
a brain in
a jar and he is fucking me sometimes
matthew_boyd: Chaang-Noi: no time like 15:00? Just
a day? Fair enough :)
topace: monday was holiday up here, so tuesday back after
a long weekend = crazy
Chaang-Noi: i have enough cash taht if btc goes way down, i just buy more. and if not, im too rich to give
a fuck.
davout: it's also
a way to check stuff internally
davout: accounting is not only
a way to control stuff for an outside party
mircea_popescu: should i explain something to you ? what'd i say ? "
a large customer withdrew". would you believe me ? if so, why ?
aknap3: well that's
a different problem entirely
mircea_popescu: that means in
a 100mn country there's 5 deaths
a week from starvation ?
davout: so, if it suddenly decreases by 80% with no apparent reasons the management will somehow be forced to make
a statement about it and/or see himself punished by falling valuation
mircea_popescu: why would
a user want his holdings reported to random passer-by ?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu so I've worked on
a project that used Crystal Space to make an MMORPG
mircea_popescu: if you put 500 euros in the bank, you are now
a creditor to the bank
davout: but you don't really seem to think that loss of share value is
a valid incentive for management to not misbehave
pankkake: also new services using bitpay usually convert to fiat automatically, that puts
a lot of pressure downwards, right?
mircea_popescu: that's what makes one great. Tennessee Williams is
a fucking genius by any measure.
mircea_popescu: kid. Soon you'll be
a fifty-year old kid, pretendin' you're hearin' cheers when there ain't any. Dreamin' and drinkin' your life away. Heroes in the real world live twenty-four hours
a day, not just two hours in
a game. Mendacity, you won't...you won't live with mendacity but you're an expert at it. The truth is pain and sweat and payin' bills and makin' love to
a woman that you don't love anymore. Truth is dreams tha
mircea_popescu: But it's always there in the morning, ain't it - the truth? And it's here right now. You're just feelin' sorry for yourself. That's all it is - self-pity. You didn't kill Skipper. He killed himself. You and Skipper and millions like ya are livin' in
a kid's world, playin' games, touchdowns, no worries, no responsibilities. Life ain't no damn football game. Life ain't just
a bunch of high spots. You're
a thirty-year old
ThickAsThieves: but they don't realize
a nutjob egomaniace can still be correct
ThickAsThieves: "I still don't quite believe it and there is
a very real possibility that all the value could vanish in
a puff of logic."
mircea_popescu: generally, if something has
a website it's not going anywhere.
mircea_popescu: like, in the design-deploy cycles they have
a few weeks off.
ThickAsThieves: What are the most likely reasons
a public company would promote it's stock as an investment? specifically, AM ? I can think of 3 reasons, but wondering if I'm missing something obvious on this case.
pankkake: certainly
a good day to daytrade. oh well…
Stardust: Scrat, that's
a lame way to "erase" topsecret docs
Namworld: Yeah... I started with 900 BTC. Lost 750 something to amazingrando (I made other losses too). Still, with cashouts, holdings and everything I have, I still have like 1200 BTC I think? Within
a year? 33% ROI? (and if I hadn't sold my ASICMINERs or bought more, I'd have like over 10k BTC but that's another story)
Namworld: I'm starting to suspect Bitcoiners as
a whole developed some Stockholm syndrome or something. It's like whatever happens, there's no complaints anymore.
Namworld: It's all startups, with
a strong mix of scammers mixing among them. It's very risky. The kind of startups you get higher returns on investment on the ones that work and lose out on others.
[\]: if anything, not mirroring should be
a red flag
Namworld: I thought you already had
a wife. Building up
a harem I see.
Chaaang-Noi: thailand is
a good place to just fuck around if that is what you are after
Chaaang-Noi: but yes, if you do it right, thailand is
a good place to get
a girl
Chaaang-Noi: well... i spent
a lot of time here, took
a long time to find her, and speak thai and did the whole hiso shit.. plus i have
a bit of money and im young and blah blah blah
assbot: I haven't understood
a single word you've said since I met you, not one single word.
assbot: I haven't understood
a single word you've said since I met you, not one single word.
dub: everyone seems
a bit high
parseval: Seems
a bit high on the % share price
kakobrekla: or ask if you have
a specific question
kingofsports: seems just like options and regular trading, sells
a certain amount at certain date..
JimFromBronx: bugpowder: read up on him, ran
a huge boiler room back in the 80's doing like 1mil
a week for himself, many of his operation was legit too ie steve madden ipo
kingofsports: anyone have
a video that explains futures trading simply?
JimFromBronx: mircea runs
a boiler room scheme its blatantly obvious to anyone with an IQ over 20
copumpkin: he got
a 38k btc investment recently didn't he?
JimFromBronx: mircea runs
a type of boiler room in my opinion
JimFromBronx: bugpowder my type lol your
a degen gambler type.
Bugpowder: now you are trolling instead of having
a discussion
kingofsports: i want to do $10 options just so i can understand how it fully works. ive watched vids and such but its
a lil confusing.
kingofsports: whats the min i can put into
a interacive brokers and get approved for options
JimFromBronx: kingofsports rightfully so.
a broke ass student should not be trading.
kingofsports: problem is jim NO usd site lets me trade options when my income is less then 30k
a year, i am finance student right now.
JimFromBronx: bitcoin is too illiquid with
a shitty bid/ask spread to bother "shorting"
JimFromBronx: buying overpriced put options from
a dubious site is not shorting.
kingofsports: is there
a site that lets me short/long bitcoins?
kingofsports: oh yes i get it, i would think there would be
a site that would let that happen tho
