mircea_popescu: you're stuck working with strawmen whether you want
to or not.
mircea_popescu: the problem is
that you don't klnow me, and by extension bitcoin.
TheNewDeal: otherwise he falls off into
the blogosphere
mircea_popescu: you don't get
to say how
these debates work. again, because bitcoin.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: however,
this will positively never happen. bitcoin will just ruin academia as you know it and
that's
that.
TimSwanson: Mircea, you need
to deal with
the content of
the chapters
mircea_popescu: so. inasmuch as you wish
to continue, on
the general expectation
that bitcoin will eventually conform
to your worldview, you're more
than welcome
to it.
TimSwanson: because
the arguments are supposed
to stand for
themselves
TimSwanson: That is what
the authors of articles in
The Economist, do not sign
their names
mircea_popescu: now, if you want
to
talk about my
think, and i say you're stupid,
this can not be waved aside by you claiming it's an ad hominem.
mircea_popescu: you may generously represent yourself as equal
to all people, myself included.
this however is false : i am a major player in a major revolution. you are practically nobody, or if we're charitable a minor player in a lengthy
tradition, if we are again charitable and consider
the us derpage somehow related
to european academia as a human
thought adventure.
TimSwanson: I have read your post 3
times, you do not cite any data
mircea_popescu: ok, let me explain
to you why your "ad hominem" approach is broken.
TimSwanson: i have
to go in a bit, but can chat for a few moments
TheNewDeal: got caught with
the late bet once again
TheNewDeal: went
to go jerk off, shower,
then I come back and BAM it's
trading at .0101 something

bitcointrader_: how are you settling your option and future contracts
today?
mircea_popescu: they knoe each other,
they
trust each other, escrow is not
the problem.
mircea_popescu: in general, people
trade otc as in, otc. major players
jborkl: Ok make sure
to vote ! +12 hours from now voting ends. WOT only 1st anal #bitcoin-assets awards
jborkl: Let's see coindesk plagiarize
that heh
bitcointrader_: they can
take collateral from both sides
to ensure no counterparty risk
mircea_popescu: bitcointrader_ an escrow service does any deal, what difference does it make
to it.
mircea_popescu: !reg "Who should be
the derpiest" and it gives you an index,
then !vote 1224543 herpy and it
tallies "herpy" +1
bitcointrader_: mircea, is
there an escrow service
that does otc derivatives?
jborkl: Cool idea, I will start on
that
mircea_popescu: jborkl
this suggests a ready expansion
to Jason's bot. it could hold propositions for voting, like a gpg-poll
thing.
jborkl: If you do , later
tell me , I am going
to write it in
the morning.
jborkl: Anyone else with WOT want
to vote?
SuchWow: dogeywoof: not being mean, it's just once you've been
temp upped like dozens of
times, it pings you
twice in an hour, its just kinda annoying is all. Yes I should've just asked nicely for perma voice
tho lol
TheNewDeal: omg absolute riduloustardedness "This is a mistake
that we see in full force
today in which
the quantity of money available has shrunk due
to
theft, scams, purposeful burning, accidental destruction, etc."
SuchWow: one day i'll be more interested and educated on
the
topics of discussion and investments here, and when
that's
the case, I'll speak up for sure :)
SuchWow: lol either give me permanent voice or stop giving me
temp voice. all it does is ping me, and i don't usually have anything
to say, just observing :)
jborkl: Best blog I cast my WOT only vote for
trilema
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal guy has a
tenuous grasp on facts. which, for an outsider, i guess is laudable.
mircea_popescu: jborkl "most satoshi-like individual
that's not acually satoshi"
mircea_popescu: left
the guy a comment
to come here, not approved yet, but anyway, if he shows up someone voice him
jborkl: So
that is
three categories,
this is going very fast
jborkl: Lol,
that wins for sure.
jborkl: Awesome on
the
tits story.
That wins with 4 palms award
mircea_popescu: "Worst pr move masquerading as an award", you can give
that
to
the bitcoin foundation for
the
two bit idiot debacle.
jborkl: Most meaningless PR I can
throw a dart
jborkl: Great , I can go with
that.
