mircea_popescu: ill bet you he won't :D

mircea_popescu: i imagine Ukto is prolly going to do something like that too

mircea_popescu: or a bbet pt after ipo

mircea_popescu: lol whatever works i say.

mircea_popescu: why is that ?

mircea_popescu: you probably should just float a larger set.

mircea_popescu: ya the glbse pt had the same issue.

mircea_popescu: how much do you hold ? (unless it's a sikrit)

mircea_popescu: s.dice ipo was 10%

mircea_popescu: of float

mircea_popescu: not so bad

mircea_popescu: i guess if we count pt's as institutional investors that takes us to about .7% total

mircea_popescu: you and dt should form amalgamated american bitcoin traders

mircea_popescu: https://www.canadianbitcoins.com/ still going ?

mircea_popescu: o hey. had no idea.

mircea_popescu: ;;gettrust topace

mircea_popescu: yes lol

mircea_popescu: waht the fuck is wrong with them!

mircea_popescu: whereby prices to artificially pop on lack of liquidity ?

mircea_popescu: so! the "business idea" in share "investing" is to create market inefficiencies

mircea_popescu: ok these noobs are starting to get on my nerves.

mircea_popescu: o o yea he emailed.

mircea_popescu: well see, it's impossible for me to check seeing how i don't know whats "last" in your context :)

mircea_popescu: i didn't know you crossdressed

mircea_popescu: lol

mircea_popescu: aww jcpham gotta do them earlier

mircea_popescu: if i wanted to become a bookie i think i'd have done it by now tho

mircea_popescu: im not in a hurry

mircea_popescu: more detailed there

mircea_popescu: it's on mpex too.

mircea_popescu: hehe it was just launched a day or two ago

mircea_popescu: yes.

mircea_popescu: well whoever it was! &sure.

mircea_popescu: wtf!

mircea_popescu: bah. so this guy made FOUR deposits before actually hitting one right.

mircea_popescu: i'm not saying you haven't.

mircea_popescu: i don't care other than in the vague macro sense that it'd be best if this actually works as opposed to not working.

mircea_popescu: aite.

mircea_popescu: because forumer time is not worth money and lawyer time is.

mircea_popescu: it sounds to me like the lawyer guy is getting drowned in drama and is inches away from throwing his hands up at the entire thing.

mircea_popescu: this doesn't sound so good.

mircea_popescu: "As for Quentin, he has other clients and has, from what I was briefly told, been busy filling in for other attorneys in the office while they were away. I'm hoping to speak with him today to get an updated timeline for the verified claims lists and terms of service for the VPS site."

mircea_popescu: MPBOR, moar serious than LIBOR

mircea_popescu: heh just catching up on all the juice.

mircea_popescu: http://business.time.com/2012/12/20/libor-scandal-yep-its-as-bad-as-we-thought/

mircea_popescu: last i checked (maybe a year ago ?) they were horrible.

mircea_popescu: cool.

mircea_popescu: hence 15 btc in holdings

mircea_popescu: i see.

mircea_popescu: is that marked down as loss ?

mircea_popescu: are you on open wifi or something ?

mircea_popescu: life is short but unfair.

mircea_popescu: they say that's how the 1929 panic started.

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla ^^

mircea_popescu: if anyone's looking for a laugh

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2013/bitbet/

mircea_popescu: le loll. watch bitbet own it.

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla http://www.google.com/finance?cid=668090

mircea_popescu: o, that kind of up

mircea_popescu: +e

mircea_popescu: fuck his wif ?

mircea_popescu: ya, what pigeons said

mircea_popescu: thestringpuller it was possibly the first time an item of value was exchanged for this internet funny nonsense

mircea_popescu: i was like... yeah.

mircea_popescu: "i won 16btc and promptly turned around and bought the stock"

mircea_popescu: some dood was doing this

mircea_popescu: on 30day avg 333557. on 1 day avg 449038

mircea_popescu: it'd seem the value of that model strictly depends on the quality of the bookie.

mircea_popescu: lol

mircea_popescu: but im just saying, you can put 50/30 btc in, then wait for other bettors to contribute theior own then make a final bet to adjust to reasonable rate either way

mircea_popescu: Bugpowder im really useless with sports betting, i never did it nor do i much care about sports

mircea_popescu: you can try coinbr.com, or else bitfunder has a passthrough

mircea_popescu: yeah.

mircea_popescu: Dr-G you probably want a broker then.

mircea_popescu: dr-g what stocks ?

mircea_popescu: but suppose the event is 7:2 to buy , 1:3 to sell (just random numbers)

mircea_popescu: or that.

mircea_popescu: you can make decent money as a bookie on the system as it is, if you actually know odds.

mircea_popescu: and wait for close to closure to wipe it.

mircea_popescu: if you have a spread you bet each side of the spread

mircea_popescu: i was gonna say, with parimutuel you can always take both sides

mircea_popescu: i work hard and pay top dollar for my research.

mircea_popescu: ty.

mircea_popescu: but i can appreciate the point.

mircea_popescu: well... it's not so rare, there's 100 btc bets

mircea_popescu: of which one's a paralegal or some shit.

mircea_popescu: there is (maybe) a grand total of two lawyers

mircea_popescu: there isn't a bookie.

mircea_popescu: and that's it.

mircea_popescu: there's a bunch of ex cons that are all against the state for the very phylosophycal reason that they have priors

mircea_popescu: there's like 1-2k preop transsexuals, random internet kids

mircea_popescu: there's like, 100 or so coders, most incompetent, a few bright, some acceptable

mircea_popescu: dude. you completely misrepresent the total lack of competence in bitcoin

mircea_popescu: ...

mircea_popescu: who ?

mircea_popescu: "you"

mircea_popescu: ya whio;s gonna maintain it ?

mircea_popescu: it's not set in stone.
