the westerners are
too petrified by
the double whammy, and can't operate
themselves.
mircea_popescu: here's a
tidbit : all "named" banks actually operate under license, separately. because
the chinese will strangle you if you actually send info over.
mircea_popescu: (but ftr, china is land of
the freedom.
they actually and specifically do not do any of
the aml bs.)
mircea_popescu: i love it, really. it's basically a
tax on supermarkets.
mircea_popescu: incomprehensibly, a few people still use
the supermarkets.
mircea_popescu: supermarkets here want
to see id for cash payments over ~100 dollars. everyone else pays you a discount because well,
they don't actually report/pay
the
tax.
BingoBoingo: Gerland I
thought wasn't florida, but Shrem had a florida dude
mircea_popescu: then shrem met some derp at a bar and
they came up with a plan which consisted of shrem not noticing
the derp is doing
the opposite
mircea_popescu: shrem registered as a money
transmitter, and named himself as

this ? didja sign a promise
to
the usg
to police
the blockchain ?

to break
the very promises he made in writing
to
the usg!

the right number of vowels" ?
mircea_popescu: well looky here! why are you using
things you don't know!
mircea_popescu: do you actually know what happened

thieves' fence
mircea_popescu: (rthere should be an office
to approve usage of names for purposes, consisting of a clerk with a REJECTED stamp)
mircea_popescu: g whatever stupid shit, because
they can no longer protest.
mircea_popescu: anyway, in
the general,
this is
the closed form life equation of people doing something worthwhile :
they have a
terrible
time as kids because
their parents are idiots ;
they get fucking stampeded as adults, because people are lazy ;
they get all
the accolades, moneys and bitches when
they're old, because it doesn't do anything for
them anymore (thus it's finally safe) ; once
they're dead
they get
to be
the face sellin
mircea_popescu: as v.i.lenin said, people who get involved in revolutions best learn

assbot: Logged on 04-11-2015 18:27:40; asciilifeform: i insist on being shot for high
treason rather
than for somehow associating with spamming scum.
mircea_popescu: if you care,
then
the argument is why do you care about
this but not
thatr, and sooner or later you won't notice one.
mircea_popescu: the best
thing you can do for it is
to get
the pogo ready
