mircea_popescu: i'm just saying,
there's both practical and
theoretical views
trhat are both more parcimonious and do not need it.
mircea_popescu: "singing" in
this manner isn't nearly
trivial, which is why say dogs don't do it. dogs do all sorts of
things, but understanding glass as a system
to
the degree needed here is rather
tall a fence.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sure, but
that requires a few joules kinetic and a few
terrabytes gnoseologic. as in your quote with "needed dollar
to
turn screw and million
to know whcih one"
mircea_popescu: for
the ~same money you could say "bitcoin is realligning
to its
true value driven by systematic failure of
tmsr.
mircea_popescu: and
this is a necessary premise of your
theory, so i'm not introducing anything here.
mircea_popescu: whole point of "bumper crop" is
that A.dorks arbitrary value for a is divergent from market value of a. nothing more
than
that.
mircea_popescu: do you see how
the only outcome of
this is B expanding its borders into A ?
mircea_popescu: so at
the coming
time,
they declare
they shall
trade a for b at
the specified ratio. and B had a bumper crop, and so B buys a lotta a.
mircea_popescu: suppose now
that for whatever reason, A.dorks decided "they will know in advance" "when a/b ratio is high and when a/b is low.
mircea_popescu: suppose
there's
two countries, A and B. suppose
they have
their repsective currencies, a and b. obviously
through
trade
there's at all points going
to be some b in A and some a in B.
mircea_popescu: no mata haris, fine, sure.
think of it in game
theoretic
terms, if you will ?
mircea_popescu: and i dispute natural (and necessary) fluctuation can ~in principle~ serve as indication in
that direction.
mircea_popescu: in fact, one of
the principal signals of a dead (ie, divorced from reality) monetary system is...

theymos?
mircea_popescu: even without
those,
there'd still have
to be drops. it's just unsanitary not
to.
mircea_popescu: "oh woe
to me, of course mp is rich, he spent a summer with bitcoin at $2" "and what were you doing late nov 2018 ?" "oh, bitcoin didn't look good anymore ; i'll be back
to woe my whine once it comes back up".
mircea_popescu: how do you propose
to reconcile monotone valuations with cyclical populations ?
mircea_popescu: or of
the "it's unfair
that guy is a lord just because he read
the call back when i wasn't born yet". or however you
turn it, it's
the same fucking
thing.
mircea_popescu: hey, venerable sexuate reproduction worked well for all
these years. every fifteen year old has a "secret"
to share
that's as unsecret as unsecrets can ever be.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-06 18:46 BingoBoingo: Well,
they gotta let
the price run up again before
they waterfall for increasingly disappointing crashes a couple more
times at least.
mircea_popescu: does it carry
teh burning of girly lips, "return
to
the blue lagoon" style ?
mircea_popescu: how do you say "vreau sa-ti spun ceva" in
teh russky ?
a111: Logged on 2018-11-16 16:41 mircea_popescu: empire is selling orcs
the impression "they're in on a secret"
mircea_popescu: hey, a
thousand or
two is exactly what usg should have, based on its situation in
the world,
truthful general importance and so on.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-16 14:31 mircea_popescu: for as long as only slanty eyes has horses, all horse races however drafted will have
their fucking horses winning.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's kinda difficult / far from
trivial
to put clucker "thought" into human language.
mircea_popescu: by now it's mostly a sort of "dao without mp's splooge up ass" "but dorks... it has it on
the face." "only asshole counts now!"
mircea_popescu: self-proclaimed "independent minds"/fuckwads GOTTA be hurt.
that's what
their life is about and for, "options". can't simply submit and worship bitcoin cock.
mircea_popescu: oh, it's bought alright.
thence
the above discussions of weights.
mircea_popescu: happened fucking
twice, what, unless i package it in lolcats it can stare right
there from
the graph, eliza dun see naught ?
mircea_popescu: takes a minute
to knock it in
the head
to match bitcoin.
the relative weights are in excess of 1mn
to 1, and yet some idiots somewhere still
think ripple's worth more
than a used car ?!
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, all
the morons still buying into
the "ripple" wash
trade ? srlsly ? ripple is worth something, really ? even after
this week ?
mircea_popescu: the funniest bit being,
that
the above construction is exactly what
teh robohitler's notion of luxury line anti-trilema would look like.
mircea_popescu: just because
they're stupid doesn't mean
they're not some mother's children
too!
mircea_popescu: i shall now carry
the entirety of
this conversation in
trilema
titles.
mircea_popescu recently ran into refference
to
this pairing reading old
trilemas.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile at
the #girlscode farms, LordMPofTMSR 3w "Not even kidding." LonelyBunneh 1h "Hi" LordMPofTMSR 6m "Aha ?" LonelyBunneh 5m "What" LordMPofTMSR 2m "Idiot."
mircea_popescu: minutes ; and
the
timing not so strictly relevant. clusters of 3 reboots hours apart seem suspicious
to me, is what i said.
mircea_popescu: kinda as signature-y as
the dum-dudum sound of
trained shooter with ak-47
mircea_popescu: aha. and
then "fixed" and
then "reverted" and
then a few hours later "tried again".
a111: Logged on 2018-11-20 05:04 mircea_popescu:
the whole 23 / 25 / 29
then 59 / 19 / 31 regular
tri-cycling is kinda suspicious.
trinque: but who can say. maybe agent dickweed
thought he got one in.
trinque: looks more like
their backup service doesn't work and has been
trying and failing
to backup
the box for about a day
trinque: this is a piece of shit vps on a service called vultr.
the
thing was being used as little more
than a web-toilet which other services elsewhere use.
