that's not winning,
that's getting drunk on your own success.

towards upper middle class america?
mircea_popescu: ironically, because of idiocy like
the us left and food stamps and

than your average ditch digger.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i
think what's meant is someone with

there are making
these coins. Its likea fucking business now. I bet its like 5 groups of guys << more like 3.
mircea_popescu: neuroMode: I
think Brian Kelly is shooting himself in
the foot by listening
to
the cryptogoblins pushing for POS << i still don't see how exactly
they figure pos does anything, bitcoin is fucking white enough w/o it. but anyway, naut actually means chickpeas in romanian.

to be born on my b-day << it's pretty good sharing a bday with your daughter. you can

mircea_popescu: forget all
the weird machinery, install sundecks, allow desperate 30yo womenz
to sun
themselves for a blowjob + $100.
mircea_popescu: FoOdies5: what
the fuck can you stabilize with a premine ? maybe keep
the coin from going up <<<
this is exactly correct .
the braindamage going on here is
that fuckwits understand you need resources
to prop a coin, and lackin any resources
they wish
to... borrow
them. since
they're making a coin anyway it's ~easier~
to roll both into one.
that
this reduces
to
trying
to pull yourself up by your own breeches is not some

to
the butthurt surprise of all
the people who imagine
themselves experts in
the matter on
the grounds of derping a lot on
the subject, and
then never getting along anywhere really.
