Rassah: yes. Like
they hoped and planned
to do
Rassah: and now
they are... so....
Rassah: BingoBoingo: but
they wanted
to sell equity... (Etherium)
Rassah: I'm starting
to suspect
the
things
they
talk about in private do not match
the spin
they put out in public...
BingoBoingo: Rassah: But what do
the do?
They de facto sell equity.
Rassah: BingoBoingo: Protests? When I alked
to
them,
they wanted
to sell equity in it, but couldn't due
to regulatory crap
Rassah: decimation: Airline companies are spending money on jet fluel futures, with expectation of using it in
the future. Doesn't mean jet fuel is money
BingoBoingo: My current beef with Etherium is
that despite all of
their protests
they are selling equity in a something.
decimation: umm, people are
trading money for it, with
the expectation of spending on stuff in
the future?
BingoBoingo: Nah, you just need
to pick altcoins with better jokes like Altcoin...
Rassah: decimation: why do you
think Etherium is a candidate for money???
Rassah: My rule #1 for investing is invest in
the
team, not
the idea. Awesome idea with morons behind it will go nowhere. For Altcoins, an awesome idea with a single developer behind it will crash and busn as soon as
that developer gets bored and goes
to do something else
decimation: hammers &
tulips have an application - neither are good canidates for money
Rassah: Also, as is most important in any crptocurrency (even moreso
than its "features") Etherium has a
team of good developers with a specific goals, who want
to work
to develop it no matter
the price. Doge (and arguably most others, possibly incluing Litecoin) does not.
BingoBoingo: Ether is just going
to feed
the flames about Rapey cryptocoiners
BingoBoingo: I dunno much other
than
the picked
the worst name for
their
tokens...
Rassah: I
thought he was? Etherium is run by a large group of people, including finance guys
BingoBoingo: Well, if he isn't much of a finance guy... Shouldn't he be outsourcing
the expertise?
Rassah: p.s. I'm not saying
their etherium deal is a good one. I don't
think investing in ether can in any way give a better return
than investing in bitcoin... I don't
think vitalik is much of a finance guy, either, so I'm not sure if
this "ipo" ca be blamed on him
TheNewDeal: he sent me .1 btc, I sold him a position in
the bastille day bet
Rassah: That statement of his
tells me he either has never met Vitalik in person, or doesn't know what an inteligent person is like
BingoBoingo: Well, if pete isn't smart
then he's been incredibly lucky.
Rassah: There aren't a lot of smart people in bitcoinland... I have a feeling Bitcoin Pete isn't one either, but is regurgitating
things other smart people are saying in his blogs. A beneficial service I guess
Rassah: My
tribe consists of
Tsiolkovsky and
Tozoni, so I've been surrounded by extremely intimidating levels of inteligence...
BingoBoingo: Well, pete's a jew and
there are a lot of smart members of
the
tribe
Rassah: Hah! Bitcoin Pete's article: "Vitalik Buterin, he of "autism is
the same as intelligence" fame"
decimation: I've
tried beautiful soup, it sucked ass. I
tried splinter, it sucked ass. refuse
to
touch phantomjs.
decimation: web 2.0 is so poorly designed
that
this barely exists, instead of being a first class featue
decimation: it would be fun
to
try on your friends
decimation: yeah actually
that's a neat experiment
BingoBoingo: Chicken is old hand but carp is a new one for me. I might have suspected catfish as a stereotype, because like fried chicken everyone loves fried catfish. Carp
though have so many pin bones in
their filets. Honestly I find Gar a better use of my fishing
time
than carp.
assbot: Economics and ethics: Lying commies |
The Economist
assbot: Do blacks really like fried chicken and carp or is
that just a stereotype?
BingoBoingo: Wait, carp are black people food now? I
thought it was Wasps
that first plagued
this continent with
them.
assbot: 'No Eastern Europeans' sign placed at carp fishing lake by angry landowner who claims
they have stolen his fish | Mail Online
BingoBoingo: Fucking water pigeons is what
they all are really
BingoBoingo: decimation: In
the Americas European carp are invasive
too
assbot: Liberals passed a bill
to change
this fish’s name because it is “hurtful” and “offensive” | Young Conservatives
BingoBoingo: decimation: Well,
these are hard problems
to pin down in
the way
that some people advance certain species of carp as invasive, when here
they are all invasive.
BingoBoingo: decimation: In large parts of
the forested midwest cannabis, albeit of poor quality has nativized itself
decimation: indeed, I always called it jimson weed. nasty stuff, grows up 6 ft
tall in a few months
assbot: Datura stramonium - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
decimation: idiots in
the midwest smoke jimson weed
BingoBoingo: And of course
the net result of
the spritz of ether into
the campfire was panic for ~1.5 miles in any direction
pigeons: yes of course. by might as well get
the ether
there
too
BingoBoingo: Though some amount of ether may be useful as a solvent...
TO acieve other
things...
BingoBoingo: pigeons: If you have a friend in
the chemistry lab
there are more interesting
things
to consider
than ether
BingoBoingo: The sprayer's family had ~8 or 9 muscle cars in various states on non-function in
their yard at
the
time.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well I was ~6th grade at
the
time and age ranged up
to High School degenerates in
the group
pigeons: so of course it had
the opposite effect
pigeons: yeah i remember
the scout leaders
telling us emphatically not
to smoke
the local funky weed
BingoBoingo remembers at boyscout camp one of
the older scouts spaying ether into
the campfire
to discourage us young'uns from spraying pug spray into
the fire
pigeons: ETH is not a security and
this is not an attempt
to solicit investments from unqualified investors. its a fuel.
danielpbarron: does anyone know who
the owner of
the #bitcoin- group is?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: A
thing
that has it's big national get
together locally is "powered parachutes"
BingoBoingo: pigeons: As a
teen
there were closer places
to
take girls
to "watch
the nothing"
BingoBoingo: Well, I've been
to field's where ultralights operated
pigeons: or a
teenager bring a girl
to sit on
the car and "watch
the planes"
pigeons: as a kid you didnt go run around
them back when it was possible?
BingoBoingo: Havent'd had occasion
to yet. Imagine my first airport experience will prolly happen in Mexico
BingoBoingo: I was going
to ask, but figured if I had
to...
assbot: The Mouth of
the WWE «
BingoBoingo: CheapBoy: I'll look for you and keep
throwing voice at you
CheapBoy: Hope someone can voice me next
time
CheapBoy: But I have
to get some sleep, 3am in sweden.
CheapBoy: Alrighty I'm getting
the GPG running.
CheapBoy: Cool.

Team. Ask us anything! : IAmA

the break.
pigeons: CheapBoy: ether not usable or
transferrable unless ethereum actually comes out one day
BingoBoingo: CheapBoy: If you set up GPG and register in
the WoT I'll lend you a rating so you can self voice.
BingoBoingo: CheapBoy: Well, have you started looking at setting up GPG yet, since
that would be necessary
to do
the
trade?
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Situation has been remedied. Key in question was not sold so much as held by each of us in
trust of a higher powah.
