mircea_popescu: when i get back a "well he makes websites" im like o great
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic no but w/e, he was talking at me on twitter. so i respond. and when i respond to people i don't know it highligths them to research team too, so they give me a "who's this guy".
mircea_popescu: i guess protecting the term is impossible, actual people doing strategy will have to find a new word
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in retrospect, "strategy" on such venues should be taken as an indicator of consumate armchair generalship.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic cause i'm a fucking verbose idiot basically.
mircea_popescu: @Mircea_Popescu Didn't realise I had to get all my sources of income approved by you before I proceed. I'll remember for next time, thanks.
mircea_popescu: @TomHashemi Sure, most actual strategists I know advertise themselves as cooks, streetsweepers, merchandise stacking "executives" and so on
mircea_popescu: @Mircea_Popescu errrr maybe because I do both? try reading the full page before you comment...
mircea_popescu: @TomHashemi No. And why am I talking to derps who think they may put "strategy" on their bio when what they do is code websites ?
mircea_popescu: @Mircea_Popescu Nope... I've read enough of your nonsense on bitcointalk to do it on twitter as well
mircea_popescu: @TomHashemi Did you want to share something with the group ?
mircea_popescu: as soon as they figure out wtf they are. will be 2015 at the ealiest.
mircea_popescu: the usg has the god given right to destroy any wealth of its citizens it can.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile i'm having fun on twitter with twerps who describe themselves as "Strategy & Research"
mircea_popescu: not a matter of bots, just, all interaction is split up in n atomic bits
mircea_popescu: most of it is just spam basically made to make one feel important.
mircea_popescu: jesus fuck, i go craft, check twitter half hour later, 24 interactions
mircea_popescu: at least i've never heard of pinksheet bonds issuance.
mircea_popescu: in general companies that can't finance themselves through stock issuance have little or no hope of placing bonds successfully.
mircea_popescu: a possibility it is, of course, but transparency is hardly much of a qualification.
mircea_popescu: i mean equity is one thing, people love throwing money away
mircea_popescu: the20year2 what makes you tihnk you have the credibility to issue bonds in the first place ?
mircea_popescu: well, if you aren't in the business, the logical step would be to talk to someone who is.
mircea_popescu: with the exception of x.eur and the options, mpex assets aren't mm'd specifically
mircea_popescu: there's no requirement that the underwriter marketmakes
mircea_popescu: in some cases obviously the asset is owned by an actual investment bank which already has a seat. this is by no means common or the rule. esp as things mature.
mircea_popescu: if every ipo also bought a pit spot it'd be the fucking end of the world over at nyse.
mircea_popescu: which is someone with the experience and contacts required to maintain the financial side of things.
mircea_popescu: mpex works exactly like a stock exchange is supposed to work, the asset should ideally take an underwriter
mircea_popescu: i don't think any assets were listed off new accounts anyway, what sense'd that make ?
mircea_popescu: in other news, the bitcoin Rift guild is about to pass 1k players 0.o
mircea_popescu: well honestly now... why would white people let black people throw parties for mj's death ?
mircea_popescu: "When Michael Jackson died they wanted to have a party for him in motherfuckin’ Fort Greene Park and all of a sudden the white people in Fort Greene said, 'Wait a minute! We can’t have black people having a party for Michael Jackson to celebrate his life. Who’s coming to the neighborhood?
mircea_popescu: you need a whole of a lot of progress to get people thinking they're better off in vermin infested shitholes today than they were in 1500
mircea_popescu: and then in most places another 10%ish in vat and vat-like taxes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly historic data from 1600s and 1700s shows avg rents being about 5% of income
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing as a right to one's code just because it exists or just because it's different.
mircea_popescu: basically, some people suck, some don't. whee why should this be, whoo how could this be.
mircea_popescu: "we're poor and dirty why should anyone be rich" not enough ?
