ryguy_`: without
the internet,
that is. i've been awake for far
too long
to make sense.
ryguy_`: thank god for
the internet - i dont
think i'd ever have come around
to realize 'fiat = war machine' among all
the other
things without it or a patient individual
to walk me
though it
ryguy_`: 18-26 was all deprogramming myself from what i'd been
taught, if i knew i was deprogramming it or not
ryguy_`: yeah ive been coming around
to
that more and more at
the ripe age of 30
ryguy_`: wish i had your skillset, man. or wish i put
the effort in like you did, my dad and his grandfather we're both follower backoffice managers for wallstreet comapnies and growing up i
thought financial markets were
the most boring shit in
the world until 2008 & bitcoin
ryguy_`: and
the govt
to eat shit - gonna be great
ryguy_`: i cant wait for
title insurance companies
to go busto
mircea_popescu: this is fine, inasmuch as it has no ill effect and increases
the general supply of lulz,
mircea_popescu: the sec got a 20k settlement for
the former, and is pretending it got a settlement for
the pair.
mircea_popescu: guy listed sd on mpex. about a year later, he claimed someone bought it and so it was delisted. mpex shareholders received a negotiated, fair compensation and it was
the end of
the matter.
mircea_popescu: mkay, it's like so. guy made a "feedzebirds"
thing, which he listed on glbse, which simply imploded.
ryguy_`: he conducted some other
transaction and SEC claimed
those shares were apart of
that other
transaction ?
ryguy_`: so
this dude just gave back some kind of equity shares in mpex or a listed company like a retired couple gives back a condo
timeshare
ryguy_`: i worked at a firm and we had
to keep all
the records incase
the SEC guys showed up
mircea_popescu: but hey, working for
the govt means you gotta eat
the shit you gotta eat.
mircea_popescu: this is so
transparently ridiculous half
the bureaucracy is laughing at
them, leaving aside wall street and
the people not actually involved in
the us nuthouse.
mircea_popescu: ryguy_` short version : guy retired his mpex issue. sec desperately wanted
to purchase some relevance, so
they
tied some blown glbse/twitter offering he had with
the mpex offering, and pretended like
they scored some sort of victory.
mircea_popescu: ryguy_`> do you
think high frequency
trading or polling
type strategies would or will be prominent ? < in a word, no.
ryguy_`: anyway. bigtime respectable
thing you guys got going on here. especially
the
trash
talking which is just brilliant. and settling with
the SEC, wth. i cant even really find any reading on
that SEC issue
though
ryguy_`: and how
that would definitely not allow any hft stuff
to go down
ryguy_`: ok so yah im _quite_ familiar with bitcoin and
things
that
take place on
the blockchain
BingoBoingo: ;;google site:trilema.com high speed
trading mpex
ryguy_`: its hard
to discern what is or is not related
to
the fraud, or a byproduct of
the fraud going on now a days. Im open
to
the argument
that hft creates liquidity but how much liquidity does a market need, ya know
ryguy_`: i just wanna invest and execute
trades for clients and ease everyoneeeee into a btc based stock market like warren benjamin graham
ryguy_`: do you
think high frequency
trading or polling
type strategies would or will be prominent ?
ryguy_`: i dont know much about
the
technicalities by way of how your service connects with btc but
ryguy_`: i
think any good statesman would be sitting
this current round (or incarnation) out
ryguy_`: network effect, standard nyse/nasdaq
type shit
thats going on now
ryguy_`: what kins of
things do you guys see blockchain based equities/securities exchanges competing with eachother on in
the future
mircea_popescu: well stateman is a respectable
thing. not very many ones good at it left in
teh west.
ryguy_`: this asshole is running
things with
the kagans
ryguy_`: as a kid i
thought being a 'statesman' was a respectable
thing
ryguy_`: im over
the geopolitics
too
BingoBoingo: Well,
the Fed was
the best weapon for defeating
the soviet union while
turning into a worse soviet union
mircea_popescu: well in
the sense stalin was
the best option at
the
time, and hitler
too.
ryguy_`: "the FED might have been
the best option we had at
the
time"
ryguy_`: i always give
them an out with
ryguy_`: im over
the system and how it works and stuck on
trying
to help decently smart people understand whats going on
ryguy_`: you are preaching
to
the choir
mircea_popescu: in fact, a good quality nyse is less likely
than no
tax.
mircea_popescu: nobody ever wanted
that except for bona fide merchants
ryguy_`: instead of
the sigma 6 circus we got now
ryguy_`: cant wait until
the slaves (sheep) ((our friends and family)) want a
transparent ledger equities market
ryguy_`: i
thought it was infinite seats
ryguy_`: but im writing 'all work and no play makes ryguy_` a dull boy' over and over so when im done with
that i need
to get my gpg keys in wot and all
that
ryguy_`: i do want a seat on your exchange,
though
ryguy_`: btc is more productive
than leaks because idont have what it
takes
to not get doxxed
ryguy_`: and snowden
too, what a mindfuck. is it just a cia hit on
the nsa for
the budget ? who knows, who cares
ryguy_`: well just in general, you got
these other news papers with
their leak drop boxes. im sure plenty of
them are run by handled individuals. feel sorry for
the unsavvy leaker at
the moment
ryguy_`: rather let
this
thing fall
to pieces and get in afterwards on
the infowar stuff
ryguy_`: cryptome says wikileaks was a intel agency job and assange is in
the embassy collecting leaks on behalf of god knows who
mircea_popescu: anyone can send you w/e
the shit
they feel like. afaik
that's how cryptome work
ryguy_`: i dont
trust
the circlejerk psyops and stuff going on now
though
ryguy_`: string
together some openbsd boxes or grsec boxes and give it a go from afar in a 3rd world country
ryguy_`: put it up on a
tor service or whatnot
