mircea_popescu: jurov so it'd take months to sell for more than the average ? this is expected no ?
mircea_popescu: it is sinful to at the same time know and not have announced.
mircea_popescu: the way market works is that if you know what you want to do, you announce it.
mircea_popescu: jurov if you want to sell, why aren't you putting asks up ?
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly : anyone wanna do some alpha testing of a brand new service ?
mircea_popescu: jurov punkman i don't follow the logic here. explain to me like i was 5 ?
mircea_popescu: jurov: that's the point, i expect f.* to be impossible to liquidate, unless there is a leak or "leak" << how do you mean ?
mircea_popescu: basically, if it's not one of the things they misrepresent, it looks like a pig w/o a lipstick.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: so maybe the DERPs would have been better suited to have been run on Havelol by an independent intermediary << hardly, havelol lists 50% and more directly arbitrageable gaps all the time.
mircea_popescu: glbse idiots didn't move to mpex after i ruined the various "mining" crap. but they DID stop doing it on glbse, and that was that.
mircea_popescu: punkman: even if you don't get the believers to trade, you get them to pass up 2.5x discount and maybe consider that keeping their BTC might be better than giving them to random derps. << this is exactly it.
mircea_popescu: now no matter how you dice it, this simply says nobody is doing any buying at all.
mircea_popescu: i got tons of commends and invitations to discuss and socially groom on the topic of eth. meanwhile, the scammers cycled 5k btc or w/e, at 2k, and i got exactly 0 btc at 5k.
mircea_popescu: pigeons: no there is a lot of truth to that << there' sa lot of truth to this : there IS NO OTHER SIDE. it's just words on the web.
mircea_popescu: jurov: and risk having bitcoins frozen on mpex? for years? << generally, bitcoin stays frozen somewhere anyway. who cycles bitcoin ?
mircea_popescu: whether it will or whether it wont fundamentally hinges on whether the vc economy is as relevant for bitcoin as mpoe is. which is a point i can't hardly help i dont think
mircea_popescu: jurov: and if situation gets interesting, mp can pull asks, leaving me unable to add something to other side << i shouldn't be the only person in that market. provided anyone gives a shit about the derps themselves or their general market, enough to actually spend the usd they CLAIM to have received in investment, then that market should easily compete with s.mpoe.
mircea_popescu: and has an adequate risk profile. (note that s.dice DID NOT have an adequate risk profile, and the dividends came at considerable capital risk. that the bitcoin retail investor is clueless enough to shove that under the rug makes little difference)
mircea_popescu: jurov from what i gather you're looking for a product marketable to the retail investor. that'd likely be mpif. it makes about 1% or so.
mircea_popescu: FabianB: isn't on bbet either, often bets with 0.1 on yes and 10 btc on no << that's not so often is it ?
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: there's very little doubt in my mind that if i were in the sort of situation most folk over there enjoy, i'd simply be shooting people. << and yet taleb survives in nyc just fine << yes, he's not in the sort of situation. he's got teh dough.
mircea_popescu: HeySteve well some people keep fillies for their private entertainment.
mircea_popescu: if i happen to have formed a wrong idea it is my god given right as a transcvasimultiultra and so forth to stick to it and nobody can criticize me!
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa this dumbing down of terminology offends me! pegging is when fresh cut ginger is applied prior to twenty or more solid cane swats.
mircea_popescu: FabianB: jurov: or by s.dice you mean popular, high risk, high dividend, short lifetime? << hopefully wol does the better parts of dice.
mircea_popescu: moreover : nothing is painful to the sexually aroused woman.
mircea_popescu: took a while for things to switch because the strapon seems so intuitive.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it is. there's a lumpy thing lodges inside the vagina and a proby thing going upfront.
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa anyway, i appreciate the girl's shaved and trimmed. clearly she'd make a decent fuck toy.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why can't it produce a fucking radio set ?
mircea_popescu: (that country is so mercenary it even does spying as a service)
mircea_popescu: foodz and his merry gang have been doing overtime translating and summarizing trilema in teh basements of romania's saas
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so basically you're saying, "if meta-nsa exists, it's a mirror of b-a"
mircea_popescu: yet the only bilion dollar eu start-up to date happened outside of all that.
mircea_popescu: i mean, obviously valuable scientific research doesn't happen in the govt pen. this is hardly surprising. for that matter, europe has a lrge number of "incubators" for start-ups, even timisoara has one, london thinks it dominates this field
mircea_popescu: benkay would you accept the fermat theorem as research ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, between the meta-nsa nd the petrified forest you got a very dissonant thing going. how about the petrified-nsa and the meta-forest ?
mircea_popescu: just like their pretend poets shouldn't sour one on poetry.
mircea_popescu: just because a buncha muricans pretend to be scientists shouldn't sour one on science,
mircea_popescu: benkay lettuce not confuse the fakers for the job they're faking.
mircea_popescu: you recall, i'm the gadfly. i said the boboo about coders too, like finance people, heresies pile one.
mircea_popescu: (amusingly, maddox was harping about beef jerky before teh mainstream picked it up as bacon)
mircea_popescu: that's how bacon got to be the cancerous forced meme it is.
mircea_popescu: benkay that sounded like the sweet singer of michigan if she were emo and trying to fit in with the hip crowd.
mircea_popescu: don't get the cocaine and the dumps all bumped up together now
mircea_popescu: but anyway : i can't get to the letter, because i can't read the "official oppinions" of accountants who wrote a book called redeeming christ.
mircea_popescu: i try to compensate by being a quite public asshole about it, tho. should work.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony the problem with me is that my reader is configured to quickly drop. which will probably warrant the neverending hatred of the asciilifeforms of the future on account of me having skipped who knows what valuable item of some valuable fellow on the grounds that that fellow wasn't either mentally organised enough for my taste or maybe not versed in teh variety speak or who knows.
mircea_popescu: you see, the direct is "christ the redeemer", so wuldn't it be all edgy and creative to reverse it ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, he's trying to be clever, in the manner of an accountant
mircea_popescu: READ MY BOOK: "REDEEMING CHRIST" I've decided to serialize and publish on this blog a book that I've been working on for some time
