mircea_popescu: Ok so here's a story : BitBet curently has 19 World Cup bets open.

Now, on top of these, there's no less than 30 bets pending approval on WC, pretty much "X country will advance from groups".
mircea_popescu: oft times ill just put it to fire for a few minutes and have it for breakfast
mircea_popescu: but anyway, salmon isvery tolerant. you can eat it raw, you can eat it cooked to any degree
mircea_popescu: that is the fucking point of currency and more generally life on earth. so that lazier kids get left behind in footbal practice, and that dumber kids get left behind dating

mircea_popescu: i mean any half-literate scammer in sierra-leone can get a good flamewar raging for 500 pages in two weeks, the self appointed cream of teh internets slash intellectual core of progressivism can't even get to 12 ?!
mircea_popescu: by now it's sunk into the depths of pathetic : trying to get a thread going, which gets 6 pages out of which 2/3 is their kindling
mircea_popescu: then it was "o the press in its quest for bullshit is betraying the holy canon of socialism"
mircea_popescu: but yeah, originally it was all "o, how the bitcoiners don't understand basic socialism as canon accepted by everyone"
mircea_popescu: well because they're pretty irrelevant by now, so you wouldn't normally know.

mircea_popescu: I don't understand why phinnaeus would pay 400BTC for 50K$, but I can write the agreement with him and make the deal : Davout will send to trusted escrow 50K$ (in dollard or BTC) Phinnaeus will send to escrow 400 BTC when escrow have both, he will send me 400 BTC and send Phinnaeus is 50K$.
