Naphex:
mircea_popescu: well you can't use fiat
badon:
mircea_popescu: You're also too sophisticated for that kind of thinking (you're in bitcoin chans, afterall...)
badon:
mircea_popescu: Beware big gold, you can lose a lot of money on it.

badon:
mircea_popescu: It's difficult to predict which coins will be valuable, but I'm literally writing the book on the subject.
nubbins`:
mircea_popescu look at the royal canadian mint for a perfect example. dozens of new designs per year, almost all of them would be "tales from the crypt volume 34" if they were books

badon:
mircea_popescu: It's happened before.
badon:
mircea_popescu: I have a lot of enemies at the china-mint.info forum. They have tried to find fault, so ask them if I delete my own posts.
badon:
mircea_popescu: No, what is that?
badon:
mircea_popescu: That's when the discussion group was founded. I'm not sure how far back my articles go. At least to 2009, for articles that are still online on the SMF forum site.
badon:
