mircea_popescu: o look, log messes up the apostrophe too.
mircea_popescu: lick it from teh log ?
mircea_popescu: you are probably messing up the apostrophe.
peterl: does the ' mess up the link?
The20YearIRCloud: it's redirecting me to the homepage mircea_popescu
The20YearIRCloud: gonna read, might have to buy some credits first though
assbot: Page not found pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: also, this is well disputed in the logs. they dont "fall under ny jurisdiction because they were issued in ny". they specifically say they do, because of a previous default.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: I find the wording I used more accurate than your suggested correction.
mircea_popescu: but this seems largely an academic point.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> unlike the us, Argentina doesn't have the ability to pretend to be solvent forever << it does have the ability to pretend. it doesn't have the hordes of idiots to pretend they believe the pretense.
peterl: am I calculating right, BingoBoingo you are up abou 0.33% this month?
BingoBoingo: Oh, the statement.
The20YearIRCloud: It's gonna be interesting to see how tomorrow's RS conference call goes
jwSchool: The bill repeals the provision of the old legislation, which banned the use of "anything but the lawful money of the United States."
jwSchool: think they just repealed a law that outlawed it
jwSchool: not sure if that's good or bad in terms or regulation, tbh
The20YearIRCloud: k, i haven't been paying attention to most of the mpex listings (obviously)
BingoBoingo: The20YearIRCloud: No, I was hired to do work for Mircea. Mircea is the issuer
BingoBoingo: Pushed it out as soon as the month rolled over GMT because it has some new
assbot: July Combined Trading Statement | Bingo Blog
The20YearIRCloud: this is for tat's thing?
peterl: oh, linked on the blogs?
The20YearIRCloud: what's that?
BingoBoingo: peterl: I dunno if your are interested, but the first MPIF PC statement's already hit.
BingoBoingo: Most states seem to be waiting
BingoBoingo: It's murkey aside from the NY Bitlicense thing. Some have taken the Federal line at Bitcoin isn't... Money as they regulate it like Texas.
BingoBoingo: They dunno how Big Bitcoin might get, but if it takes off this seems to be the chance for them to leave New York's shadow
The20YearIRCloud: are there any states that have said they want to regulate?
BingoBoingo: Especially Texas.
BingoBoingo: Well, this is why the trend in US States not named New York seems to be Not really regulating Bitcoin-Bitcoin interaction
The20YearIRCloud: lots of VC and capital in NY , i'm sure they feel like they're still gateway to the US
BingoBoingo: the20year: Well, that's why New York Imagines they can regulate Bitcoin, because New York is where people used to have to trade if the wanted access to capital
The20YearIRCloud: I don't understand why they issued debt through new york, unless they had to be approved in a US state in order to sell it here
The20YearIRCloud: guess i have a hard time grasping it
BingoBoingo: the20year: Well, because the people who didn't want the to resturcture... Were the ones who claimed jurisdiction
The20YearIRCloud: so argentina is in default because they can't restructur ethe bonds from 2001?
BingoBoingo: Well, it seems... New York isn't as important as it used to be if Newer New York can flip it the bird
decimation: This is why New York thinks it can throw its "weight" around with bitcoin regulation
decimation: "A U.S. District Court has ruled that Argentina can't pay holders of restructured bonds until it compensates the holdouts, who have sued for full payment on bonds the country defaulted on in 2001. Some investors accepted discounted bonds in restructurings in 2005 and 2010. The bonds fall under New York jurisdiction because they were issued in New York."
decimation: unlike the us, Argentina doesn't have the ability to pretend to be solvent forever

pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> ben_vulpes i was expecting a lot more obvious drunkedness tbh. but sober ? maybe you should write a book. << book? what book. "hey. tits? they're worth 0.1 btc now, which i'll hold for you indefinitely. let's tits. tits everyone? great." << precisely. why book when you can blog?

BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Seriously where did Contravex come from that it is so much better than MooseCocks
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: decimation intellectuals SHOULD run everything. the only problem is that the courtiers of the french republic are not intellectuals. << indeed. contemporary courtiers are but lengthily-educated jesters
pete_dushenski: FoOdies5: but seriously tho, seenig what kids these days grow up on, we're pretty much fucked << has said everyone since forever. not that i'm removed from this
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: my philosophy is not that it should be hard, but merely that if anyone complains, of anything, it should be made worse for them. << be grateful.

BigBitz: What do you mean true? You just commented that 'they took the internet and added some privacy and security to it seems nice to me' .....
coltan: BingoBoingo: true
BingoBoingo: coltan: But what parts of the internet and how strong is the actual privacy and security compared to existing alternatives
coltan: if you think so but they took the internet and added some privacy and security to it seems nice to me
BingoBoingo: Is it a function that can generate the sort of demand that would offset existing investments with revenue?
BingoBoingo: Well, but what is it they are delivering. What is Maidsafe's function?
