mircea_popescu: o wait. haha. i was comparing facebook revenue with mpex net income attributed.
mircea_popescu: but a "social network" with nothing at all can not begin to stand up to the central bank of bitcoin. it's a contest between a bulldog and a cockroach.
mircea_popescu: because see, facebook existed back in the day when myspace was trading for 700mn
mircea_popescu: i doubt it. what will help is the passive effect of people hearing about s.mpoe and forgetting about facebook

mircea_popescu: mike_c no rush, volume can come later. let people figure shit out first.
mircea_popescu: all the bitching about how difficult itis or it isn't to acquire btc is irrelevant. that's not where the hot core of btc is happening. this is.
mircea_popescu: in the end... this being exactly how greatness is built. by the time they do find that common ground... look out.
mircea_popescu: team A being "i don't care how good these internet funbux corps look" and team B going "unless i need money to buy rope i'm not selling my btc securities"
mircea_popescu: i guess the fundamental negotiation has tyre kickers and car collectors, and they have trouble finding common ground
mircea_popescu: so basically two good dividend months in a row for bbet killed the volume.
mircea_popescu: best scam in history, every way you look at it it's legit
mircea_popescu: tell you what, ~8% of the mkt cap trading over ~7 months is just about exactly right.
mircea_popescu: pretty much all the oil importing infrastructure is down there
mircea_popescu: lol the us w/o texas would be in a very interesting position
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform or because they burried the nut in a dog
mircea_popescu: mike_c that shit looks exactly like herbi's earlier mpoe stuff
mircea_popescu: it's the exact equivalent of the caught cia agent joke, you know thatone ?
mircea_popescu: did they make a film about it or is it an obscure detail of history ?
mircea_popescu: it was abandoned tho, because iirc in the 70s someone in the us finally figured this out
mircea_popescu: incidentally : CORRECTLY DESIGNED BITCOIN SITES, SUCH AS MPEx, that use tx encoding in the payment ARE IMMUNE TO THIS, and many other bugs.
mircea_popescu: jurov if you want i can prolly dig up some diddled txn to my addies
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform new men supermarket opens in a town, where women can come and simply buy themselves a boyfriend. first floor : "Here are guys who like beer and watching tv". 2nd floor : sensitive guys who only want to hug and hang out. 3rd floor : all the women, and a huge panel : This floor only exists to show you you can never be satisfied.
mircea_popescu: KRS1 yup. prolly the policemen get paid regardless, just for making up charges or some shit.

mircea_popescu: amply documented since before i made mpex cause i knew of it at the time

mircea_popescu: second off, derpy mc derp, police officer of 88 iq is DEFINITELY not the firestarter there.
mircea_popescu: first off, the entire state of florida is not cool enough to issue one single such magical device per annum
mircea_popescu: the da hasn't passed on it for w/e reason, but it's hardly a case.
mircea_popescu: so they went back and derped about 57439875983489 dollars and IDENTITY THEFT etc
mircea_popescu: it's quite visible what happened there, mongoloid cops went to the da with their "investigation", da told them he won't prosecute
