mats_cd03: is
that soviet in origin asciilifeform? i noticed
the idea first, in cult phenomenon Game of
Thrones
kakobrekla: theres another story where
they just put
the rat on your belly and cover it so it cant escape. what happens is an exercise
to
the alert reader.
xmj: the idea of having a rat
tunnel
through on
the rear end.. sounds BAD.
ben_vulpes: what about
the guy who's into
that sort of wriggling around?
ben_vulpes: i can see
that backfiring, asciilifeform
mats_cd03: anyway -- 'uber, airbnb' being companies
that deserve bn USD valuations... apparently middle-men with no moats are incredibly valuable nao
kakobrekla: mats_cd03 at
this point you can coin your own coin.
mats_cd03: you can't go and just coin your own
things, man!
mats_cd03: "hamstering" is not something
that has evar been a
thing
xmj: ben_vulpes: go explain asciilifeform about
that one please
xmj: asciilifeform: hamstering as in rationalization hamster
that runs in his wheel
xmj: then its gonna be daaaaaaangerous not
to be in a cashflow positive business
mats_cd03: and
then
there's
this, "I do agree valuations are artificially inflated, but before you start drawing parallels
to 1999 and every financial bubble of years past remember
there are companies with real revenue streams. Sure,
there are
the snapchat valuations which have no basis, but do uber, airbnb, dropbox, and
the like not deserve billion dollar valuations?"
xmj: as soon as people start saying
This
Time Is Different
mats_cd03: some dummies with
the 'oh its been goin on for a while now, nbd' ...
punkman: yeah not like he's giving
them piles of cash
mats_cd03: 13:01:49 <+myriadgetsmehard> It's not up
to
them
to decide what is a premium domain or not. I say it's up
to
the whole free market, which
they won't let me be a part of, it's also not really free
mats_cd03: 13:00:59 <+myriadgetsmehard> i beg
to differ. i
think all
these new
TLDs have value. So I am asking for $500k for
http://btc.events and a few others. BitPremier
takes 5% but I'll offer
the room 20%
to any who can get one sold
ben_vulpes: order book is over
there. place orders and quit derping.
myriadgetsmehard: ben you are acting like
the dinosaurs i get enough shit from man :)
chetty: sadly enough some vc funded
tard might it, don{t mean it will actually make money/have value
myriadgetsmehard: new gTLDs are
the shit man.
too many new domains (.com seekers) are shit imo
ben_vulpes: myriadgetsmehard: what is
this, 90's domain bubble again?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: but
the bullets are materially different. lathed shit, perhaps.
mircea_popescu: youi're doing
this substitutive
thinking
thing wrong, it's amply discussed in
the logs.
ben_vulpes: i
think it means he can stroke it
to anything
mircea_popescu: you would NOT suspect it's your bullets
that are
the problem
mircea_popescu: if you were a hunter and moved
to a difference cannuckistan, and all
the moose you shot was
the size of a chicken
mircea_popescu: tyvm and stfu, you're offering 500k
to
the guy who does
that, plus a little fee for allowing your pointless existence
to be associated with his.
mircea_popescu: "i'm offering 100k in any currency
to
the salesman
that sells
this rock i found in
the street for 500k"
ben_vulpes: although i imagine
the hardened russian finds
the US street gang similarly incompetent.
mircea_popescu: <myriadgetsmehard> It's not up
to
them
to decide what is a premium domain or not. << because why, because it's up
to you ?
ben_vulpes: to return
to
the previous
topic of conversation:
the incompetence of
the prisoners implies incompetence of ratcatchers, non?
ben_vulpes: that's
the only free market with which you need concern yourself.
myriadgetsmehard: laugh if you want. i'm offering $100k in BTC
to whoever can sell it. wil do ben_vulpes
ben_vulpes: myriadgetsmehard: put 'em in
the OTC order book.
myriadgetsmehard: maybe i needa setup a gpg contract
to get
these sold for a commission.
myriadgetsmehard: It's not up
to
them
to decide what is a premium domain or not. I say it's up
to
the whole free market, which
they won't let me be a part of, it's also not really free
myriadgetsmehard: i beg
to differ. i
think all
these new
TLDs have value. So I am asking for $500k for
http://btc.events and a few others. BitPremier
takes 5% but I'll offer
the room 20%
to any who can get one sold
mircea_popescu: myriadgetsmehard i doubt
they
think even
those are valuable. i definitely would
think much less of any marketplace
that purports
to sell 2nd market domain names.

Duffer1: i
thought bitpremier was a website for
things
that had value
ben_vulpes: "BitPremier currently lists only
the following: real estate, autos (listed at $50k USD or more), jewelry and watches (listed at $5k USD or more), home goods and
travel (listed at $5k USD or more), handbags and accessories (listed at $5K USD or more)"
myriadgetsmehard: i am john. i are engineer. i also came
to maybe discuss some bitcoin assets of mine
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform im not sure of
the homo sapiens relation.
the women are made of flesh, so in
that sense it passes, but i have little clue what
the males are made of.
xanthyos: in a privatized prison system, a "good prisoner" is one who consumes
the least amount of food
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's deeper.
they lack both
the mind structures
that make it necessary and possible, as well as
the capacity of observation and reason
that make
the process unavoidable.
ben_vulpes: the mind boggles at
the
thing mircea_popescu finds difficult
to explain, in any language.
mircea_popescu: course if you ask
them, or if you watch
their movies,
they're
total fucking experts.
mircea_popescu: the russian career criminals reportedly find
the us, in spite of having
the world's largest incarcerated population, doesn't even have good prisoners.
mircea_popescu: who, of
the singers are actually singers ? what businessman knows business ? etc.
mircea_popescu: but
then again,
the same sort of adolescent retardation is at work everywhere - what english speaker could hold his job if
the artificial barriers were removed ?
mircea_popescu: course, it
takes extra strength adolescent retardation
to imagine it makes any sort of "science"
mircea_popescu: nothing wrong with
that, people allowed
their own intimacy.
mircea_popescu: im famous among a group of [girl]friends for
this one
trip I
took one of
them for at some point,
that was never documented or repeated.
