mjr_:
i'm like OH that is why every single stock on NYSE moves the same direction at the same time
mjr_:
i mean, so dumb though
mircea_popescu: then a while back
i referred to someone by her byname instead of their handle
imsaguy: haha,
I broke a lot of cherries back in the day
mod6: so for that,
I thank you :)
mod6: dude,
I think that maybe you were the first person that sold me BTC.
imsaguy: well you know,
I am pirateat40
imsaguy:
I would catch those almost as quickly as he made them
mircea_popescu: imsaguy
i thought freenode finally got their shit together ?
imsaguy: so its good
I'm not on the list
imsaguy:
I'm too emotional with the bans sometimes
imsaguy: well, if
I leave and come back,
I won't have ops from chanserv
imsaguy: kakobrekla,
I used to be one.
mod6: it seriosly could have been Anduck
i'm talking about
imsaguy:
I'm surprised my L2 to pirate is still positive
mod6: imsaguy:
I'm with you there.
I need to find who
I was talking about... the guy srsly looked like he had some scammer ratings.
mod6: when
I seem to check every now and then it seems to typically hover around 400-450
mod6: but...
i guess they need some monitoring in there and there isnt a ton of trusted people left to do the job.
mod6: one day last week (
I forget who it was for now) there was someone op'd and
I was like "WAH HOW DID DA SCAMMERZ GET OPZ?!"
mod6:
i bet that is moar lulz
mircea_popescu: well since mpoe-pr is trolling stripper forums
i kinda lost track of reddit
mod6:
I don't follow in there quite close enough these days.
mod6:
I think there might be.
mod6: (10:04) <+mod6> What MPEx is, is not a website.
I'm not sure why people fail to understand that. It doesn't even really need a damn website.
mod6: (10:01) <+Scrat> neofutur:
i dont care about validation either but MPOE is the worst website ive seen since geocities
mod6: they think they can just do 2minutes hate everyday and
I wont call 'em out
mircea_popescu: fucking hell all these people talking about me that
i don;t even know.
mod6: these dumbshits sit in there and talk all kinds of trash. at some point
I usually jump in and tell 'em what idiots they are.
mircea_popescu:
i dunno,
i don't have the full range of sensual experiences.
mircea_popescu:
i shou;d prolly link that from mpex main page just for lulz.
kakobrekla: bitdaytrade : Today at 12:09:28 PM : Go troll somewhere else.
I'm working hard to raise the necessary funds. Very positive news are on the horizon.
kakobrekla:
i had a passive nvidia running at 105 degrees C for years
DeadWeasel:
I get 171 with a ati 6770, but it's not worth it.
DeadWeasel:
i'll take that as a yes, mircea_popescu
mjr__: one of the things that
i take away from all that
i've experienced in bitcoins is that if you expect scams, you are safer than getting blindsided by "mortgage-back securities" or credit default swaps
mjr__: it's funny though, my friend who
i work with is so impressed with nomura because they use pgp
mjr__: but also,
i think it is so funny that someone tried to do the idea in reverse
mjr__:
i think something along those lines is coming
mjr__: but
i think the option should be there
mjr__: but
i want to make it easier for them to get exposure to the bitcoin economy
mjr__:
i want to see everyone enjoy this new change
mjr__:
i don't want to see us recreate the current system
mjr__: but
i really want to offer it to the public
mjr__: if
i had a few tens of mills it would be done already
mjr__: if someone could start an ETF that tracks bitcoins, that would change everything, that is what
i was trying to do, but it is hard
mjr__: and today
i realized that our system is not tried and proven, it is very very new, we only adopted this in the US in 1971
mjr__:
i know that a lot of people in this field are in finance
mjr__:
i already convinced the CEO of my company and he is meeting with some Forex guys and is going to see if they could offer a product using bitcoins
mjr__: so now
i am looking at a slower approach to start a hedge fund type deal
mjr__: but
i would have to do a reverse merger for that and buy a public company
mjr__: that is what
i am working on
mircea_popescu:
i think the bitcoin gambit currently is to try and persuade some hedge fund people.
mjr__:
i just finished antifragile, and
i think it is a great book,
i just wonder if he is aware of bitcoins
mjr__: anyway, if
i am expecting financial savvy on reddit,
i should get my head checked
mjr__: if
i buy japanese stocks on nikei,
i have to also account for yen/usd exchange
mjr__:
i'm like, you sell and buy S.DICE or S.MPOE using bitcoins, it's a way to grow your bitcoins, and the value of those bitcoins changes, so your total return when measured in dollars is a function of both effects
mjr__: but
i look forward to the end of the month report
mjr__: but mpoe is undervalued
i think
mjr__:
i mean a million dollars a month is not crazy, but
i think it would move the market
mjr__:
i even think that it is possible that if they have halted sales due to demand, that they caused the dip
mjr__: has to have some impact,
i think it's a combination of them and the ton of news coming out about bitcoins
mircea_popescu:
i dunno why people keep ragging on mpoe-pr, she never says shit like that.
mircea_popescu: "Yeah, yeah,
I can tell you do not have a very highly developed capacity for abstract thinking -- developers do not necessarily care much about the design of things but often prioritize functionality,
i. e. you are not my target market so go and play with some lego blocks,
I am sure you will find them colorful and appealing."
Namworld: Maybe
I'm just a fool... put the average bitcoiner and newbies seem incredibly bearish... that gotta blow up at some point.
Namworld: That bitcoins are sustainably worth that much... it's a possibility but
I'm betting against it.
Namworld: Maybe...
I don't see the appeal in higher prices tho
mircea_popescu: so
i think one of the reasons price is going up is to give space for various interests.
Namworld: It just seems like that price is not sustainable to me. Although
I think Bitcoins are worth more than last year and will continue trending upward.
