mircea_popescu: that means
they're playing with confederate bills somewhere in
the nebraska
territory of bitcoin
mircea_popescu: to imagine
the entire set of noob exchanges
today have 50% of
the volume of mtgox in 2012 is
to overstate
things.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the joke being, of course,
that bitcoin had an otc market larger
than
the exchanges back in 2012.
kakobrekla: why would
they announce it and not use
the collected coin (ether). its a give away
assbot: Logged on 17-09-2014 15:56:55; mircea_popescu: ensure
too strong a word. but suppose you don't let
terrorists run
their own exchanges, nor deposit
to yours.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski not
the same link, just
the same
title.
ThickAsThieves: i'm not convinced
there's anything at play but a lack of new bitcoin buyers
kakobrekla: bitcoin holders are sheep. you only need
to announce
the sell
to drop
the price, not actually sell.
mike_c: i sent
the link
to warren, we're
tight.
assbot: Logged on 17-09-2014 15:50:00; asciilifeform: had a
thought. usg's btc price dampener strategy has no clear endgame -
the 'ethereum'
thing will carry on while
the usd printing press runs, because it stands
to reason
they are running both
the sell and -buy- ends of
the machine. 'arse-mouth system.'
mircea_popescu: the only correct response
to one
that wishes
to impress you with meaningless bloodletting is MORE bloodletting, better directed.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> is
the answer for king
to decree 'anyone may call himself a man of medicine' ? << yes, actually.
ThickAsThieves: i hope buterin and friends dont
think
they can surpress price
THAT long

mircea_popescu: i'm
talking about
things
that are fundamental, not mere convention built atop and supported on nothing really.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, see,
those are circumstantial. it's not about
the press. if
the chinese
took over
tomorrow it'd be all over
the washington post.

mircea_popescu: meanwhile,
the pua people DO have
things
they'll never print.
mircea_popescu: consider what
that "unfit
to print" was in 1950, and in 1975, and in 2000.
mircea_popescu: the investment of hate results in online success,
the failure
to invest it results in online failure.
mircea_popescu: the press meanwhile knows no greater enemy
than... another press outlet, especially in
the same market
mircea_popescu: my own pet
theory, which you may laugh at as you will, is
that
the difference is
the investment of hate.
these people hate women, fundamentally, and as such
they no longer need
to look out for enemies, and so everyone else is a friend.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is what i
thought
too, 2011ish. but here's
the
thing :
these people now do book deals,
mircea_popescu: meanwhile "the press" avoids linking
to people like
the plague, as
the quoted piece from maddox yest showed. and i suspect
this has a lot
to do with
their collapse, it's not
the internet, is
that
they misunderstood
the importance of reference.
mircea_popescu: i suspect it's exactly
the only reason
they eked into a modicum of relevancy for
the social discourse
mircea_popescu: no,
they link
to nobodies,
to beginners,
to people in
their comments,
they link like
their fucking life depends on it
mike_c: i can confirm
that a 1 yr old is
terrible random number generator.
they focus on a small subset of keys and bang.
mircea_popescu: and since we're on
the
topic, it's fucking incredible
to me how abandonedly
they link
to each other.
mircea_popescu: there's
this group of people, who figure
they've figured out women.
they're not entirely correct, but
they do have some good points.
ThickAsThieves: seems like
the quest you are sending me on is "to understand woman"
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla not really, cause small kid
tends
to paw, and clustered keys is one of
the main enemies of entropy
ThickAsThieves: i
think it's something like 'social relevance' or justifying ones own existence
mircea_popescu: respec, attention,
the feeling of doing
the right
thing, we

to 1`149`988 shares, 742 satoshi per share
mircea_popescu: in fairness, she's probably getting more for her buck
there
than in any possible alternative.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well sadly
they're pua concepts, but
they already wrote fiddy billion words on
the
topic since 2010 and im
too lazy
to re-write
the shit in 100k. especially since in
the 5bn words
they actually did cover 90% of
the 100k, and you should be able
to filter.
nubbins`: buy her a copy of
the jan 3 2009
times
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
time
to go read up on game, frame, hand and all
that.
ThickAsThieves: for
two, i'm starting
to feel like no aamount of money (in bitcoin) will be real
