mircea_popescu: the way market works is
that if you know what you want
to do, you announce it.
mircea_popescu: jurov if you want
to sell, why aren't you putting asks up ?
jurov: like i wrote on s.nsa example, no one will put bids
till
there's some news
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly : anyone wanna do some alpha
testing of a brand new service ?
mircea_popescu: jurov punkman i don't follow
the logic here. explain
to me like i was 5 ?
benkay: DreadKnight: i have no idea where you're getting food. oh - bacon? where's
the AAPL connection?
punkman: leak of IPO information, and I
think he meant d.*
mircea_popescu: jurov:
that's
the point, i expect f.*
to be impossible
to liquidate, unless
there is a leak or "leak" << how do you mean ?
mircea_popescu: basically, if it's not one of
the
things
they misrepresent, it looks like a pig w/o a lipstick.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: so maybe
the DERPs would have been better suited
to have been run on Havelol by an independent intermediary << hardly, havelol lists 50% and more directly arbitrageable gaps all
the
time.
DreadKnight: benkay, anyway, associating psychologically something (digital in
this case) with food is strange, which I don't like regarding Apple
mircea_popescu: glbse idiots didn't move
to mpex after i ruined
the various "mining" crap. but
they DID stop doing it on glbse, and
that was
that.
mircea_popescu: punkman: even if you don't get
the believers
to
trade, you get
them
to pass up 2.5x discount and maybe consider
that keeping
their BTC might be better
than giving
them
to random derps. <<
this is exactly it.
DreadKnight: benkay, but yeah, sometimes ambiguity helps making associations and remembering is all about
that, plus some brain exercising is not bad, but I
thought it's what you had against
those people wanting
to make a coin called "bacon" or "bacoin"
mircea_popescu: now no matter how you dice it,
this simply says nobody is doing any buying at all.
mircea_popescu: i got
tons of commends and invitations
to discuss and socially groom on
the
topic of eth. meanwhile,
the scammers cycled 5k btc or w/e, at 2k, and i got exactly 0 btc at 5k.
DreadKnight: benkay, I quoted you, so don't ask me what you meant,lol I just considered you meant
to kill
them (nuke
them) xD
mircea_popescu: pigeons: no
there is a lot of
truth
to
that <<
there' sa lot of
truth
to
this :
there IS NO OTHER SIDE. it's just words on
the web.
mircea_popescu: whether it will or whether it wont fundamentally hinges on whether
the vc economy is as relevant for bitcoin as mpoe is. which is a point i can't hardly help i dont
think
mircea_popescu: jurov: and if situation gets interesting, mp can pull asks, leaving me unable
to add something
to other side << i shouldn't be
the only person in
that market. provided anyone gives a shit about
the derps
themselves or
their general market, enough
to actually spend
the usd
they CLAIM
to have received in investment,
then
that market should easily compete with s.mpoe.
mircea_popescu: and has an adequate risk profile. (note
that s.dice DID NOT have an adequate risk profile, and
the dividends came at considerable capital risk.
that
the bitcoin retail investor is clueless enough
to shove
that under
the rug makes little difference)
mircea_popescu: jurov from what i gather you're looking for a product marketable
to
the retail investor.
that'd likely be mpif. it makes about 1% or so.
mircea_popescu: FabianB: isn't on bbet either, often bets with 0.1 on yes and 10 btc on no <<
that's not so often is it ?
benkay: <DreadKnight> <benkay> if
these people inhabited a space i would commission nukes and glass
them <-- I hate words with multiple meanings, because
they
tend
to complicate
things, so I really hate Apple for having
that name, should be illegal imo *sigh*
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu:
there's very little doubt in my mind
that if i were in
the sort of situation most folk over
there enjoy, i'd simply be shooting people. << and yet
taleb survives in nyc just fine << yes, he's not in
the sort of situation. he's got
teh dough.
benkay: mircea_popescu: where'd
that gifset come from?
kuzetsa: I wonder if maybe
that unrecognized-by-bing
type word was part romanian or something?
kuzetsa: I should know better
than
to
trust bing :(
kuzetsa: wait, is bing
thinking
that's
transgender related? I'm so confused now :(
kuzetsa: well I
tried: "transcvasimultiultra" on bing, and apparently mircea_popescu is a multicultural marketing agent or something
mircea_popescu: HeySteve well some people keep fillies for
their private entertainment.
HeySteve: hmm I
thought figging was done
to horses,
to make
them run faster in races
mircea_popescu: if i happen
to have formed a wrong idea it is my god given right as a
transcvasimultiultra and so forth
to stick
to it and nobody can criticize me!
kuzetsa: ok,
that counts a "close enough"
to
the safeword **unties**
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: you need more kink in your life, your vocabulary is mismatched
to
the definitions
kuzetsa: punkman: I
though figging was generally considered anal ginger play
punkman: mircea_popescu:
that's figging
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa
this dumbing down of
terminology offends me! pegging is when fresh cut ginger is applied prior
to
twenty or more solid cane swats.
mircea_popescu: FabianB: jurov: or by s.dice you mean popular, high risk, high dividend, short lifetime? << hopefully wol does
the better parts of dice.
kuzetsa: come
to
think of it, I
think I saw some pegging porn on my
tumblr dash in
the past week :)
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: you mean
the name for one?
kuzetsa: yeah uhm...
they're kinda designed for pushing out noisy funny shaped crotchfruit
the weight of a bowling ball
mircea_popescu: moreover : nothing is painful
to
the sexually aroused woman.
kuzetsa: punkman: not sure what you mean about a lever O_O ...
they're designed so
the muscles can get a good grip and gspot stim and whatnot
punkman: isn't
the lever inside
the vagine painful when in more vigorous use>?
mircea_popescu: took a while for
things
to switch because
the strapon seems so intuitive.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it is.
there's a lumpy
thing lodges inside
the vagina and a proby
thing going upfront.
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa anyway, i appreciate
the girl's shaved and
trimmed. clearly she'd make a decent fuck
toy.
decimation: radio sets are aplenty for
the DoD, for golden
toliet prices
DreadKnight: <benkay> if
these people inhabited a space i would commission nukes and glass
them <-- I hate words with multiple meanings, because
they
tend
to complicate
things, so I really hate Apple for having
that name, should be illegal imo *sigh*
decimation: ascii
the object of
the rack has rights
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: uhm... so
the link should be bitcoin-assets.ws/mpex-socket or what?
mircea_popescu: foodz and his merry gang have been doing overtime
translating and summarizing
trilema in
teh basements of romania's saas
fluffypony: punkman: yeah, you can buy
the real spices from a bunch of places in
the EU, and
there are expats
that know how
to make biltong, but I
think
the local beef + conditions in
the parts of
the Western Cape
that are home
to speciality producers outweigh anything produced overseas
mircea_popescu: yet
the only bilion dollar eu start-up
to date happened outside of all
that.
mircea_popescu: i mean, obviously valuable scientific research doesn't happen in
the govt pen.
this is hardly surprising. for
that matter, europe has a lrge number of "incubators" for start-ups, even
timisoara has one, london
thinks it dominates
this field
punkman: fluffypony, I've only
tried imitations made in EU, I imagine
the real
thing will be even better
mircea_popescu: benkay would you accept
the fermat
theorem as research ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, between
the meta-nsa nd
the petrified forest you got a very dissonant
thing going. how about
the petrified-nsa and
the meta-forest ?
benkay: not claiming it doesn't exist, just
that i'm ignorant.
fluffypony: punkman: I'll have
to see how well I have
to hermetically seal it
to
take it in my hand luggage,
then I'll
take a few kgs with me and just run
the risk of it getting confiscated
benkay: point me
to some science happening right now
mircea_popescu: just like
their pretend poets shouldn't sour one on poetry.
mircea_popescu: just because a buncha muricans pretend
to be scientists shouldn't sour one on science,
DreadKnight: that reminds me of shops around saying
they got natural ice-cream for sale.
mircea_popescu: benkay lettuce not confuse
the fakers for
the job
they're faking.
fluffypony: punkman: no, but
there are some export-approved biltong shops
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: correct - you can't
take "raw" meat out
the country
benkay: mircea_popescu: i only know
the modern scientists, whose sole job is
to do worthless "science" on government-allocated capital. which is crimes all over on so many levels.
HeySteve: thx DreadKnight but
that's working now
