mircea_popescu: it's like telling me you could have a grandee armee in coventry.
mircea_popescu: no, as i say. it can't be a proper nazi party for as long as it seriously contemplates accepting any ukrainian national in its ranks.
mircea_popescu: an actual nazi party in the ukraine would be quite the schopenhauerian feat.
mircea_popescu: for instance, a rejection of ukrainians as lower stock ?
mircea_popescu: what did his granpa start ? a kolhoz ?

mircea_popescu: but if you're a minimum effort sort of guy even a bitcoind can work, you can directly query it from any software stack. python, php, whatever you run
mircea_popescu: if you comprehend go the best solution i'd say is the package maintained by conformal
mircea_popescu: trivial to get the data for it, just run a node.
mircea_popescu: there's 3-4 of those, but you never know when they croak, so.
mircea_popescu: so like a blockchain walker ?
mircea_popescu: blackwhite what is "a site based on bitcoin data" mean ?
mircea_popescu: wow ze bc.info still down ?!

mircea_popescu: and that second part is really the big part.
mircea_popescu: i will have then owned a sheep worth 10 dollars + 10 mnore dolars in unrealised gains.
mircea_popescu: if i own a sheep worth 10 dollars today, and the fed prints another 20 trillion dollars
mircea_popescu: "thereby halving the value of cash savings, and piling a ton of taxeable "capital gains" on your non cash savings"
mircea_popescu: that's only half the story.
mircea_popescu: For one, nobody knows how many dollars exist in the world, and furthermore one can never trust the government to not simply double the number of dollars in circulation, thereby halving the value of your savings (provided you were stupid enough to actually keep them in cash).
mircea_popescu: mhm.
mircea_popescu: they're borrowing at 0.25

mircea_popescu: I’ve paid a WordPress designer named Sara Cannon $8,000 to build this site.
mircea_popescu: http://pando.com/about/
mircea_popescu: take the pando chick (who apparently is actually the tard that did that horror interview with zuckerberg) :
mircea_popescu: but most of the shit we do today costs 5mn, and would have cost 500 to make 15 years ago.
mircea_popescu: just think. now the govt is buying.
mircea_popescu: what did the obamacare webjournal cost again ?

mircea_popescu: "The two versions of Russia—McCain’s “gas station masquerading as a country” and Lake’s fearsome conqueror—both start from the same bitter knowledge, even if Senator McCain and Mr. Lake will never admit that fact in public. It’s a simple one: Russia will take Crimea, won’t pay a big price for it, and there’s not a thing anyone can do about it."
mircea_popescu: and that, for the first time since 2008, is actually a clear path tho the end.

mircea_popescu: chetty i doubt anyone has the nazi esprit de corps to actually declare wars anymore.
mircea_popescu: (one of the best predictors of who will be defeated in any conflict is see whose messages don't manage to coallesce, displaying instead dualities)
mircea_popescu: anyway, good point in pando article, re the "party line". it suffers from spina bifida, and will crumble into dust
