mircea_popescu: their completely clueless, "let's do the motions" calisthenic approach to things is going to get a lot of young men
as per the quote above in a lot of trouble
mircea_popescu: letting the boys consult me
as an experienced man of affairs. And having
ReutersEmily: same album
as Mistadobalina also features a wonderful song called "What Is A Booty"
ThickAsThieves: "For an entire day scenes of horror and panic ripped through Epulu. Many people fled into the forest, others were taken hostage to carry the loot of the attackers. Women were raped. Seven people were killed. Among the dead are two park guards and the wife of another. Two of these were burned. Some reported that Amisi’s wife was burned alive, perhaps caught in the chaos
as the outlaws
Namworld: thestringpuller, she's probably paid to talk with people all the time. I don't see why that would exclude chatting session with relevant people to an article, like Mircea. Which happens to be mostly talking only in this channel,
as he seems to have made his online residence here.
mircea_popescu: ReutersEmily if it's trying to connect you on this same name it'd prolly fail
as the name's already in use.
ThickAsThieves: Well, Havelock, we are told at least, we purchased by the Panama Fund. It,
as far
as I can tell, is run by the same person that runs CFIG.
nubbins`: i've been considering getting a license, but having friends in rural communities is just
as good, in practice
nubbins`: and
as much
as i like moose, 1200lbs all at once is a bit too much ;)
ReutersEmily: ok guys....thank you so so much for being so nice to me and answering my questions. i am going to get on the phone in a minute so probably won't be able to pay
as much attention in here, but i think i'll stay signed in
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: it's hard trying to figure out how greedy to be,
as the great nubs said
nubbins`: which led me to believe that he sort of made the whole document up, and it got traction, so gox figured "now's
as good a time
as any"
mircea_popescu: but people accepted it
as an "well... gotta talk of something"
mircea_popescu: ReutersEmily that stuff was always regarded
as dubious
mircea_popescu: ReutersEmily if you manage to idle here you'll get the scoops
as they happen.
mircea_popescu: ReutersEmily i've met a few, but
as a general rule no.
nubbins`: for example: if 1btc=$1m, i wouldn't need to "cash out" because i could just
as easily spend my btc at walmart
ReutersEmily:
as in, people asumme you're going to get "out" of bitcoin
nubbins`: since if btc has reached a large usd value, it would be because you can actually use it
as currency in a great many places
mircea_popescu: ReutersEmily you've followed the cases in the past few years, since it's your beat. would you say in each and every one it was your opinion that the actions
as decided by either sec or courts were in fact correct ?
mircea_popescu: dexX7 perhaps. though the rota project
as originally designed proved unworkable. it'd have to be worked on.
mircea_popescu: ReutersEmily well the better opposite view is that it's really not against the people working at companies' interest to allow that "hard work" to fruit,
as opposed to the interest of the actual companies.
nubbins`:
as an investor, i'd be pretty sore if an officer of the company in which i invested started telling his buddies when to sell
mircea_popescu: i buy that just about
as much
as any other flying pigs scenario.
mircea_popescu: ReutersEmily anyway, if you're positive-constructively inclined, they probably mean "with none of the risk holding your own btc entails, such
as you not having a clue and deleting the wallet"
mircea_popescu: c) that havelock has a history of allowing high rent corporations to just walk away from their obligations, such
as they did in the case of virtex,
ReutersEmily: yeah i would want to come
as press. altho since we have people far closer to Romania than I am here in NYC perhaps one of my colleagues would go instead
mircea_popescu: pizzaman1337 well i imagine she wants to come
as press rather than vip
mircea_popescu: and unravelling a bunch of scammers posing
as "bitcoin bankers" and issuing "credit ratings" and whatnot
Namworld: One can buy a registration with MPEx and then actually provide the brokering service, complete with actual web interface. Such
as what coinbr.com did.
mircea_popescu:
as you can imagine, this'd take a while. you'd have to keep trying dividing it
ReutersEmily: are the rest of those (besides havelock) NYSE-type exchanges
as well?
ReutersEmily: does MPEx offer currency exchange services
as well?
mircea_popescu: no, i am saying their debate
as to whethet to come out and say its not in their yeard or not ended up in fishtails last tiem they tried to come to a declaration.
mircea_popescu:
as i was pointing out to someone from i don't remember where yesterday,
Namworld: Havelock works boh
as an exchange, and
as a broker. It makes it easy to trade, no opening fee and large trade fees. MPEx works like an actual exchabge. Not much interface, very high security, high entry fee for a seat, low trading fees.
ReutersEmily:
as in - some make it through your registration process and others don't? or can anyone register, and then it's just sink or swim, it's a matter of whether they can attract funds?
mircea_popescu: ReutersEmily mpex works exactly like the nyse, if nyse worked
as intended.
nubbins`: TBF i was buying btc and pushing them into SR
as fast
as i could, and pascale said "maybe we should sit on a few k's"
kakobrekla: hedge, quickly, bitbet.us/bet/786/bitcoin-to-surpass-berkshire-
as-an-investment/
cazalla: i've no retort to that (
as much
as i've sat here thinking of one)
mircea_popescu: understand that the most economic way to run the economy - now
as during 1614 - is to just turn off all machinery, lock all warehouses and bury the key
☟︎ decimation: So to answer Moldbug: Monetary dillusion could be used
as a way to reduce crime - by redistributing wealth (just enough) to keep crime down and businesses open
mircea_popescu: sorta same problem
as the average gold bug, except his is more refined.
decimation: "Every nonneutral dilution can be defined
as the combination of a neutral redenomination and a nonneutral redistribution. And this is why dilutionists are quacks. Dilutionists are quacks because it is impossible to imagine a way in which the systematic pilfering of wallets could somehow be essential to commerce and industry."
decimation: no.
as usual, his post is overly wordy, but he is writing about bitcoin and he doesn't realize it
decimation: okay that was my question. I suspected
as much, but I was thinking about possible scenarios today and it occured to me that such a precaution would be wise
mircea_popescu: perhaps not
as often
as is the case in romania, but definitely a lot more often than is the case in russia or w/e
mircea_popescu:
as far
as i know this matter has been discussed in their comission already, and they're working towards a decision
☟︎ ninjashogun: g_forcewinds, not really. Like if you say, "Hi, could you tell me what I'm being arrested for" it's not the same
as saying "I'm disputing this arrets, you're detaining me unlawfully!"
gribble: Nick 'artifexd', with hostmask 'artifexd!~artifexd@unaffiliated/artifexd', is identified
as user 'artifexd', with GPG key id 11D1433947A3327A, key fingerprint 58A4FD3F492F49F5ECEA9D9911D1433947A3327A, and bitcoin address None
Namworld: [17:12] <TheMediator> its up to you namworld. If you think you can make it happen, we can use it
as a base.
novusordo:
as in, he uploaded malware for people to download previously?
mod6: WE can put direct links to your businesses in the description of said video
as well
as get some girls to say " [your business name here] is great!!" while dressed up in fancy clothes and out on the town. << hahaha
ThickAsThieves: might
as well ditch #bitcoin-analysis and start lurking there
nubbins`: so
as not to distract from the joy of driving
ThickAsThieves: In addition, every single email message you send or receive—100% of them—is encrypted while moving internally. This ensures that your messages are safe not only when they move between you and Gmail's servers, but also
as they move between Google's data centers—something we made a top priority after last summer’s revelations."
ThickAsThieves: "Starting today, Gmail will always use an encrypted HTTPS connection when you check or send email. Gmail has supported HTTPS since the day it launched, and in 2010 we made HTTPS the default. Today's change means that no one can listen in on your messages
as they go back and forth between you and Gmail’s servers—no matter if you're using public WiFi or logging in from your computer,
Mats_cd03: > Alfalfa growers are now exporting some 100 billion gallons of water a year from this drought-ridden region to the other side of the world in the form of alfalfa. All
as more Asians are embracing the American-style, meat-hungry diet.
mircea_popescu:
as long
as they leave their stinking rags in the no man's zone
LordPutin: mats you have a muslim
as your president
Mats_cd03: women already make
as much money
as men
nubbins`: depends on what qualifies
as "it"
LordPutin: Craig-Wood was born in 1977
as Robert Craig-Wood. Craig-Wood was educated at the Royal Grammar School and attended the University of Southampton obtaining a 2:1 in Biomedical Science and a Masters Degree in the same field.
ThickAsThieves: "You've been invited to CipherTrade
as you've got shares in CipherBond waiting for you!
ThickAsThieves: "We,
as women, will play a very large part in the development of the Bitcoin economy and many of us will shape the businesses and services in the sector."
mircea_popescu: nubbins` consider the case of, here's this woman and she'll do anything you tell her to do, and nothing else. at least
as best she can help it. what now ?
Neil: Dunno what zeroconf means
as a verb
mircea_popescu: you probably made a bet that the mod judged
as having zero chances in hell of coming out no and you put your money on yes
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves basically "Privacy exists
as a hiding place for the deviant, so
as to have a space where his inadequacy to the rules isn’t directly, painfully or dangerously visible. At least within some limits there’s nothing wrong with that (but it does carry the seeds of insanity)."
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yet the value of my work,
as public
as it is, far exceeds the value of his work.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` both are trying to make it so their "achievement" such
as it is gets more and more difficult to replicate
as time goes by.
mircea_popescu: y other anti cis activist I did nothing,finished my workout and just bitched on tumblr.it was
as if I could hear Gertrude Stein saying..Bravo…Bravo…"
mircea_popescu: "Yesterday
as I walked to the gym, I saw that all the treadmills were occupied by fatties. so I chose the stairmaster/step machine for a try. to my surprise I saw that you could set your gender only with two options! male and female! I was outraged because although I was assigned a male because of my very big dick I identify with leopard slugs which are hermaphrodites with penises on the back of their heads! so like an
mircea_popescu: and it's overall a collapse into feminity (
as it is women that mature over being hurt
mircea_popescu: course most of that happened before mothers were automatised away from the childrearing process, so traditionally it's noted
as "i want my mommy"
benkay: that's
as may be, but the link i posted is derpy
as hell on its own.
BingoBoingo: They suggested a link
as an example of how I could make my site look "better" I pointed out the linked site should die in a tire fire.
