Chaang-Noi: went from 12 to 45, now the public is buying... i dont give
a fuck if it is gox or not, but i bet it is partly them...
[\\\]: mtgox has
a vested interest in having the price of bitcoin go up

mircea_popescu: [\\\] the way my book is loaded if we go back to 30 im'
a be floating in
a pond of btc
mircea_popescu: "i'ma go take
a piss. by the time im back, btc is 1 ford escort per"
mod6: well, personally, i think its
a cool business (many others think its pretty neat-o too), I hope he gets it squared away.
eeeCurrencyDotCo: Mircea, when is
a good time to come back and chat with you about setting up an exchange, or becoming
a broker, or getting listed?
BitHub: i hope coinabul works it out :) seems like
a good kind
mircea_popescu: if he does this then he's going to have
a rash of people trying it.
Chaang-Noi: if there is insurance they need to cover it, but if it was sold as insured and not insured its
a fucking scam
eeeCurrencyDotCo: ups just delivered
a package today and left it with no sig - who should replace the loss? ups or the shipper?
eeeCurrencyDotCo: if you contract with person
a and bring person b in to it, isnt the contract with person
a, not b?
Chaang-Noi: yes mp they did
a differnt insurance company cuz turned out they did not have insurance
Chaang-Noi: but mp i paid you
a preiumuim to do the insurance for me...
Chaang-Noi: if i send you
a car from thailand and insure it, but fine print says we dont insure cars whos fault is it?
mircea_popescu: if you give me
a hundred bucks to give to mod6 for towing your car
eeeCurrencyDotCo: :) (hi everybody) - I'm here for
a specific reason, but I saw someone mention insurance. is there someone offering insurance on btc? I had ben contemplating getting my US license to offer to be an insurance broker and perhaps do somethng
Chaang-Noi: the insureance company said the item was not insured even thought coinibal did pay
a fee
Chaang-Noi: if i ship you
a gold bar, but insure
a taco... its
a scam
Chaang-Noi: if i send you
a gold bar and tell you it is insured and you pay
a fee for that, but it is not insured then its
a scam
eeeCurrencyDotCo: Mircea, its' peter from eee - you sent me
a link to chat with you here.
Chaang-Noi: they are really good, have 3 females and
a male, im breeding them
Chaang-Noi: and i need
a truck for the rotts... cuz 4 large dogs are big... but its good cuz the rotts can gaurd the truck... fucking crazy
BitHub: i met this guy maybe
a month into it? no business plan, its crazy
BitHub: its amazing the amount of amatures that i come across sometimes, they dont even have
a business plan or anything and think they're going to land on an exchange or PT and be taken seriously?
mircea_popescu: jumpin' jesus on
a stick, three months is now
a track record ;/
mircea_popescu: "I notice there are some BTC bookies. So I thought I would help bettors win more bets. I began betting on sports back in December 2012 with
a nice record so far. "
mircea_popescu: "If you're looking for
a loan for Bitcoin Poker at Seals, let me know."
aiball: do you know what's wrong with s.dice price? is this just
a dollar based stock?
aiball: mr. p. I'd say that's the biggest wild card at the moment -
a high profile hack. your shit is safe right?
mircea_popescu: obviously i can set up
a mining pool account and proxy other peoples mining there.
Namworld: Buy back later at
a lower price
mircea_popescu: no better way to showcase btc success than
a successful exit for him.
maximian: yep, it's
a possibility, and I believe he's the kind of guy who could pull it off.
maximian: tremendous mindshare/brand awareness for
a bargain price of 19-20m
mircea_popescu: so
a deal will prolly be
a nice payout for btc shareholders.
maximian: imo, the best case scenario for s.dice is an acquisition by
a big player looking for
a quick entrance into btcland
mircea_popescu: maximian yeah but investor composition changed
a lot, lots of pt holders,
maximian: nobody had
a problem back in november when s.dice paid zero
Namworld: There's
a few multinationals like that with low yield and high demand. Safety and stability are good to consider.
mircea_popescu: course if you think about it,
a corp that issues 10% divs
a year is not automatically better than one that issues 3%
mircea_popescu: on
a strictly dividend basis of accounting it's
a huge gap.
mircea_popescu: ftr an incorrect deposit has yet to make it to shareholders. there was
a grand total of like, 1 so far.
maximian: I think people know that mope is here to stay, but there's
a lot of uncertainty around s.dice
mircea_popescu: if people are thinking "s.dice has consistantly been over EV" it may be
a consideration.
maximian: but oh well. it shook
a lot of people's confidence.
mircea_popescu: i think the fact that mpoe/mpex can't have
a lossy month for shareholders may be
a factor.
maximian: evoorhees, on the other hand, sold way below market price for some crazy unfathomable reason, which was
a big WTF
Namworld: Well S.MPOE could dramatically improve with
a majority of assets trading moving to MPEx
maximian: it must be
a confidence thing. perhaps people have little faith that s.dice will be around long term.
maximian: that would have gone in
a flash last week I think
maximian: there's
a big fat ask there at 0.0047
Namworld: When people buy lots of options, usually
a good time to buy S.MPOE
dub: just make
a new exchange, gox is going to self destruct in
a week anyway
keith_hanson: being
a web developer, I want to take mtgox and overhaul their UI. Their new mobile site is atrocious.
dub: (its
a brand name here)
Chaang-Noi: . /g/ on 4chan, said btc was
a scam for years.. now they want to buy
Chaang-Noi: . /g/ has been calling bitcoin
a scam for years now... they missed the boat
Chaang-Noi: im using it to troll /g/ on 4chan they think bitcoin is
a scam
Chaang-Noi: i thought it was way undervalued but this was one hell of
a pop
keith_hanson: Sorry if I keep asking basic questions, but I'm taking you up on the intelligent discussion :P I get asked
a lot where the value is coming from, and the only real answer I have is the "black market"/SR. Is that the general opinion or am I misinformed?
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi i have
a dead fish in the fridge that's kicking bfl's ass.
Chaang-Noi: fuck i cant type... mp yes, it is going down
a bit now, but still well up
Chaang-Noi: mo
a but now yes, but its sill up 250% in 3 days
keith_hanson: mircea_popescu: haha, nice. I gave the website
a shot, but... you have to admit, it's pretty light on any sort of information :P
keith_hanson: Sorry if the question is
a newbtastical one heh
keith_hanson: Hm. So... I took
a look at the site, but it doesn't really talk about what this channel is for. Is it just general trading talk?
Chaang-Noi: people are buying 1000 plus coins at
a time at this price...
Chaang-Noi: jesus, i go take
a shit and they are gone...
mod6: I guess it could be right, have to do the calculation, but someone bought
a bunch of puts @ 75
jcpham: i've only been around for
a few hundred years
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have
a piece about how lincoln is the original cause america sucks.
mircea_popescu: direct experience shows that without
a government people are pretty much doing the exact same things.
mircea_popescu: certainly less than what counts as
a "quiet day" in washington dc or la.
dub: and also have
a horse
mircea_popescu:
a three week old egg in the summer is more of
a weapon than
a food item
jcpham: mircea_popescu
a lot of these numbers and amths are going to be staggering from now on
mircea_popescu: on the collapse of bulgaria in the 90s i went there with
a truck full of cans
