mircea_popescu: i don't know right off, but are you proposing that two years of mpoe covers the entire universe of possibilities, and nothing new will ever happen in the future ?
mircea_popescu: 10 gets 1.5, 40 gets .75, the remainder 2.75 goes to shareholders.
mircea_popescu: jurov basically you seem to me to proceed on the theory that "large capital needs" necessarily means "mpoe makes a loss". this seems baseless.
mircea_popescu: however, the capital needs as a volume of btc and the losses as a % are not necessarily correlated too well.
mircea_popescu: his theory is that when shtf and bonds get eaten up you may lose.
mircea_popescu: well, unless mpoe makes 25% profit on a stable month and there's nobody else there, in which case you walk away with 25%
mircea_popescu: (the sums not used even if available each month are not reported)
mircea_popescu: the stats as reported are overall, and moreover they misrepresent data in a sort of implicit leveraging
mircea_popescu: supposing you for some insane reason actuyally want a job in cacademia.
mircea_popescu: you don't realise it now, but in a decade being able to point to a verifiable 10 year history will mean you can have any job you want.
mircea_popescu: cads seriously now : it's a vast field, it's by far the most important thing happening on planet earth for now, the majority of people "involved" are carpenters by trade, if not professional welfare leeches.
mircea_popescu: anyway you can apply some of that study to bitcoin finance for great justice ?
mircea_popescu: well on this side of the lake as you can see, we're preparing to set on fire us embassies, or something. basically everyone's in agreement there shall be a war, still ironing out where exactly.
mircea_popescu: suddenly disappeared means either got a kid, got a habit or else scammed a buncha coins. what is this work and study you speak of.
mircea_popescu: cads until someone loses an eye. then it's hysterical.
mircea_popescu: bwahahaha this is great. "hey guise i am new to internet stuff, it's all fake rite ???"
mircea_popescu: "The chat room on the site is very active but the conversations there are unusual and non-linear. It has the feeling of looking busy with no real context at times and at others the conversation is very linear."
mircea_popescu: "The names of the players on the site are unusual (it is like someone got a book of american names without a real understanding of why americans would be unlikely to either have or pick those screenames)"
mircea_popescu: w/e was saying the same thing re bitbet, "bitcoins being locked here prevents the owner from losing it"
mircea_popescu: "Thankfully, Coinbase said it would take six days to get my Bitcoin and so I didn't have it available to make an investment in the bankroll of the just-dice website."
mircea_popescu: that's okay, there's an oversupply of at least ten million doods patting each other on the back.
mircea_popescu: as bureaucracy always entrenches itself against any sort of downsizing, this is the only available method.
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 renders bureaucracy too expensive and so the whole thing collapses.
mircea_popescu: "The attackers have most likely exploited an SQL Injection vulnerability."
mircea_popescu: litecoins worth usd, i still have trouble getting my head around it.
mircea_popescu: the fact that this is a surprise to anyone is the real surprise to no-one in particular.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, they only had one guy to answer to. all systems which are build around a spot where the buck stops outperforms systems bereft of such.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: dude srsly ? that guy was born in carolina and lived at harvard. the notion that he can be an academic, or intellectually respectable... how ?
mircea_popescu: sane minds applied to the same real problem yield similar results. german cars sort-of look like american cars for the reason that... well... road, wind, gravity...
mircea_popescu: just like... you know, acording to the soviet politburo the reason there was famine were the kulaks.
mircea_popescu: but that aside : global terrorism is the solution, not the problem. the government is the problem, and in characteristic fashion it tries to paint the solution as "the problem".
mircea_popescu: town doesn't even need evacuation, water is fine, all is well. just ask the jap govt.
mircea_popescu: so what of it ? tokio just got hit by a nuke, and they claim they didn't even notice it.
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 i think a nuke will definitely be used too, whether in x time or not notwithstanding.
mircea_popescu: yeah well. i'll propose to you that perhaps your anticipation is more a figment of your virginal fears than actual experience of the world.
mircea_popescu: i don't mean as a tourist. i mean in the bed of local women.
mircea_popescu: aka "the people that jealously guarded their baseless supremacy to the point their ruined the greatest empire in the world"
mircea_popescu: for that matter... xtians and arabs have been swapping womenz for > 900 years by now.
mircea_popescu: magically... there was no shortage of anything, nor any lack of quality.
mircea_popescu: i fail to see it. i didn't perceive much difference among the women i fucked when i lived in my own country or when i lived in countries nominally held by other people. suppose i visit france, wherein all MY women have already been overrun, specifically by the french.
mircea_popescu: truely this terrorism fighting concept has worked wonders, by the time you have european union citizens ready to bomb your shit on general principle.
mircea_popescu: so zee germans are going to start bombing us embassies in germany.
mircea_popescu: botch-schaft ? the germans have a name for the us intel ops by now ? like gesellschaft except without any gesell and with a boatload o' botch ?!
