a psychological pov this "breakeven" is
a lot more appealing here.

jurov: coinbr users got quite
a chunk of it, and bbet too
jurov: okay, but price may as well move against him and he may end up doing other trade with

a buyer of last resort for S.DICE
Bugpowder: mircea_popescu: does the mpoe bot actually perform
a spilt to fund the positions, or does it dynamically value the exposure?
mod6: I re-read the The Ceausescu article. I forgot that I already read it before, but it was
a good review.
mircea_popescu: currently we're scratching heads over
a VERY FUCKING WEIRD THING.
jurov: mircea_popescu iirc when new options up to 35 were created, there was no offer for
a long time there
Bowjob: maybe hes selling to

a bad thing to be out of the spotlight

a bitbond listing (amazingrando's thing)
mircea_popescu: i totally can't believe i had to do this once

a train car stopped in the middle of nowhere. they ask the conductor why aren't they moving ?
mircea_popescu: TomServo this is
a theory. we have no actual history to back it yet.
Bugpowder: BUT... the probability that in any given generation
a collapse will occur rather than
a muddling through is pretty low
TomServo: mircea_popescu: what are
a couple example of societal collapse?
mircea_popescu: the society collapse narrative has been
a mainstay of human culture for as long as such existed
mircea_popescu: the midwest will be mostly fine, even make
a pretty penny.

mircea_popescu: be left with half the population maybe, and
a clear point in mind. don't do that.
mod6: yeah, for some reason i thought the crime related racket had
a different speling.
mod6: i mean, it is
a raquette<sp?> and
a mob of sorts after all.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, it was something like Francis Biddle or whoever being Indian and going "you're

a very very bad man" at Goebbels.
mod6: well, that happens sometimes. im not sure that we have
a lot of lawyers who could successfully prosecute any of the banksters or government officials who've broken the law.

a shit about government until it gets in the way of feeding yourself and your family.

a comment on that site

a good analysis how overthrowing governments happened only after food prices rose out of reach. there was NO other correlation found

a problem. it doesnt feel good either way to have your wealth stripped away by corporations and banksters.
mircea_popescu: "Eichengreen's theory is that the US dollar became the world's go-to currency because of the emergence of
a very specific financial instrument—the banker's acceptance."

a chicken eating nigger faggot or whatever, THAT is all over the news
