DanielKrawisz: Well Bitcoin used a lot of elements and ideas from
the digital collectibles, so I
think
there is some continutity, but it's very innovative
too.
mircea_popescu: and i wanted
to know if when someone invents something,
they have
to also say how it's
to be made
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this is
the difference between invention and daydreaming, something my mother explained
to me when i was like 6
☟︎ Dimsler: DanielKrawisz, quantitative monetary
theory
mircea_popescu: let's be clear here : wanting something, no matter how intensively, is NOT grounds for relation with
the
thing once made.
DanielKrawisz: Then
there were some proposals for digital collectibles; b-money, RPOW, and bit gold.
Those
things were an important step forward, but RPOW was
the only one ever implemented, and it didn't
take off. I don't
think
they would have worked. Bitcoin fixed a lot of stuff
that
they got wrong.
mircea_popescu: Dimsler wouldja stop
trying
to drive people into a wall deliberately.
Dimsler: DanielKrawisz, can you write about how satoshi didn't understand economics and based his
theory on murray rothbards
teachings
mircea_popescu: there is exactly zero continuity between bitcoin and all
the idiotic derpage prior.
DanielKrawisz: It's a money substitute, like a bank note. I'm writing a paper on
this stuff now.
mircea_popescu: i'm surprised nobody's yet acting as if
they invented hitler, back in iowa or something
mircea_popescu: DanielKrawisz
that's unavoidable. it's
the nature of
the ignorant
twerps making up
the us horde,
to overplay
their own narcisism against history.
Dimsler: people
that put bit or coin into anything should be publically flogged
DanielKrawisz: Well we wanted
to use
that name because we agreed
that a lot of
the bitcoin world was
trying
to downplay him.
mircea_popescu: especially if
the bad instigation puns started flowing.,
mircea_popescu: if it were
the nakabit insticoin it'd have been more annoying. course also lulzier.
Dimsler: how is
that not initself infuriating
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> I've got a camera. I've got a
tent. << lmao what an attitude << Given
the alternatives in Usaschwitz,
that
Thompson guy found an interesting defense against
the Feds with his selectively unreliable narration.
Dimsler: mircea_popescu, he called it
the nakamoto institute
DanielKrawisz: Oh yeah, we always complain about
the stupidity over in our group
too.
mircea_popescu: <Dimsler> seriously are you going
to be preaching
the satoshibible here? <<< unlike 99% of
the derps derping about bitcoin, i don't recall
these folks saying anything infuriatingly stupid.
Dimsler: DanielKrawisz,
they fully understand what
they are doing
Dimsler: a pascification of
the proletariat
mircea_popescu: <mats_cd03> why does freenode suck so much << because
they essentially gave up ? just riding
things as
they are into
the night, as it were.
DanielKrawisz: Yeah, I
think reddit doesn't quite understand what
they're doing.
DanielKrawisz: And
then we were like, "Wouldn't it be hilarious if we started
the Satoshi Nakamoto Institute?" for a while and
then we stopped making jokes about it and just did it.
decimation: BingoBoingo: I suspect
that some degree of 'white power' in prision is 'us v.
them'
mircea_popescu: reddit is
there
to
try and leech something if at all possible. sort-of like an online hot
topic.
DanielKrawisz: Basically, we started out as an econ discussion group at a university called
the Mises Circle, but
then I got everyone
talking almost exclusively about bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: DanielKrawisz
this "reddit should build on bitcoin" stuff is lulzy.
BingoBoingo: <Dimsler> what
the fuck is
the nakamatoinstitute? << Recent college kids playing with
the idea of an online museum
Dimsler: seriously are you going
to be preaching
the satoshibible here?
Dimsler: what
the fuck is
the nakamatoinstitute?
Dimsler: you have
to get into WOW first
DanielKrawisz: I don't understand IRC very well. I'm
trying
to get into
the WOT.
mircea_popescu: I've got a camera. I've got a
tent. << lmao what an attitude
BingoBoingo: Dimsler: My understanding of it is
that in US prisons Scandanavian lore is appropriated so as
to be "Whiter
than
the Brits"
Dimsler: not
too sure how
this hick from
the ozarks is relating himself
to anytype of nord valhalla anything
Dimsler: all
those germanic places creap me
the fuck out
Dimsler: for doing 50km/h over
the limit
decimation: odin doth frown upon
the state of norway
Dimsler: BingoBoingo,

BingoBoingo: One can't exactly oversee entropy in
the same way one oversaw order on
the plantations
decimation: sure, sounds like fun. maybe we can 'mad max'
together over
the western wastes
BingoBoingo: decimation: Nah, maybe I just want
to see
the world burn? I've got a camera. I've got a
tent. By oversee I don't mean
taking control, but documenting
the absence of control for great lulz.
decimation: BingoBoingo: except you are basically propsing
that you want
to surf
the wave of
terror

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Basically
taking pictures, recording
the lulz
mircea_popescu: decimation
totally lol. if btc runs up
to say 800
that no;ll need a shitload o' hedgin'.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> actually,
the better question being, what IS left anymore anyway. << Honestly as an alternative
to fleeing
the US staying back
to oversee partitioning is becoming an attractive option
mircea_popescu: which btw... i wonder if one day
the dollar value of bets will be <
the pool values :D
decimation: it'll be awesome of btc/usd goes up another leg in
the next few months and
that bet becomes bigger
than whatsapp
mircea_popescu: the
thing with
that is... people have waited for a while. as a result
the sides are weight-unbalanced.
the seed 1k on yes has a 100k weight whereas current bets only get 40k
mircea_popescu: sort-of like nobody remembers glbse, or bitcoin magazine, or w/e other derpage went on in
the 2012s.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves actually, it's quite possible it's
the only
thing
that'l even be remembered
decimation: I guess
the ideological leftists are nominally in favor of
the derps
mircea_popescu: more like,
the derpage in charge has been nominally identified as "left" for so long.
thickasthieves: i have a feeling
this berksire bet will be legendary past our years
decimation: well, I would suggest
that
the left has so utterly dominated for so long
that
they have become a cartoon of
themselves
mircea_popescu: seems
totally bankrupt ideology. intellectually, practically... what's it stand for anymore ?
mircea_popescu: actually,
the better question being, what IS left anymore anyway.
decimation: well, I guess he's in favor of growing
the bureaucracy

decimation: "“But I have laid out my ideas
to create more jobs and grow more wages,” Obama
told students at Northwestern University following a high-dollar fundraiser for Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn. ”A
true opposition party should have
the courage
to lay out
theirs.
There’s a reason fewer Republicans are preaching doom on deficits – because
they’re now manageable.”"
