their burn rate, or alternatively how long
they got.
mircea_popescu: or invest your intelligence with
the bezzle, 4% left in
thirty years ?
mircea_popescu: so,
the argument goes, invest your btc with rsm, 4% left in
three years
mircea_popescu: no. i am pointing out
that someone whose brain works quite well but who wastes his
time
THERE rather
than hire makes piddly squat.
decimation: so
to be clear, you are pointing out
that someone who actually has original
thoughts has a few bitcents, while sachs is raking in
the speaking fees?
mircea_popescu: tlp makes less
than
trilema.
that's my proof sachs = rsm.
decimation: interestingly it pops up in a link on
the last pscyhiactrist's blog
mircea_popescu: actually, i will readily PROVE
to you he's exactly in
the same category.
decimation: true. getting
tenure in
the us university is a nightmare, from what I've heard
mircea_popescu: notrly.
they don't run any risk if
they can help it. and besides, he was young once, he ran
the risk of no
tenure.
decimation: at least
they ran some risk, he just collects his
tenure pay
decimation: actually I
think
that's kind of an insult
to
the scammers
mircea_popescu: i mean other
than running
the markov chain apparatus of opinion.
decimation: are you propsing
that Professor Sachs belongs in
the same category as bitcoin scammers?
mircea_popescu: in
those same other states it's illegal

decimation: the primary purpose of such laws is
to protect corrupt politicians from being exposed, of course
decimation: mircea, in many US states it is illeagal
to record conversations without both party's explict permission
decimation: "Of
these speakers, Jeffrey Sachs, leading international economic adviser and director of
the Earth Institute, is
the most articulate in his explicit admission
that we must follow
the ideology of diversity regardless of what
the scientific evidence says."
mircea_popescu: "Here's a
transcript of an illegal recording not done by
the NSA
that
therefore everyone is ok with, consistent with our new standard of conduct: it is not illegal
to make an illegal recording as long as it is given
to
the media and
they profit from it and we can use it
to rationalize our lives. Got it." lulzy
mircea_popescu: that
thing doesn't look appealing
to decisive action, but it does look insidiously like brain hacking.
mircea_popescu: (the better ones get hacked by better guys
thus make offspring
that suvives better)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform males got selected for decisive action, females for an ability
to withstand brainhacking.

mircea_popescu: the notion
that you can somehow be rich without being powerful is perhaps
the lulziest part of
the bezzle system.
mircea_popescu: ok, quite splendid.
the us is chock full of supposedly rich people who are about as powerless as a random south american whore
mircea_popescu: d NOT being able
to do anything with it except spend it on
the system-wide approved gimmicks:
Trading Up, college educations,
the National Bank of S&P 500.
mircea_popescu: Why would
the
The Economist's rich and powerful demo want
to be ruled? Because
they aren't powerful, only rich, all
that
time getting rich did not
translate
to any power, only
the
trappings of power. So
they've postulated a fantasy power structure/NBA owners
that explains why
they can't enjoy
their lives as
they
think
they should--
to absolve
themselves of
the guilt
they feel for having money/intellect/opportunities an

mircea_popescu: "If I had
to put my chips and my children against an 8 year rotation of civil service nincompoops vs. some nerd with an open marriage who spent $15M on a "bachelor pad" so he could score chicks of questionable emotional stability, I'm going with
the group my private sector lawyers have an outside chance of pwoning."
mircea_popescu: at least from
the supposedly secret usg employment rolls i've seen
to date.
mircea_popescu: im pretty certain fewer women work for
the nsa and generally for
the us secret service community
than for silicon valley firms
mircea_popescu: tlb brings a good point. how come in
the war between spooks and

this conversation when you have
toasted your runway
greencabbige: ok if oyu're all gonna

Mats_cd03: GL finding a bagholder,

mircea_popescu: that it can't be, as
the charge was levied back in 2012.
Mats_cd03: if selling burned gear is how you anticipate roi, you're in for a bad
time
mircea_popescu: greencabbige so is it
true
that nefario used you
to launder all
the fraudulent claims he made for various holdings on his own exchange after he closed it down ?
greencabbige: ok if you really wanna know with all our old gear we've sold it on ebay for more

kakobrekla: why am i hearing dollars, who said
that?
greencabbige: no we can get 200BTC by next year and bitcoin could go
to $5k. We have a cool $1million
to play with
then.
Mats_cd03: if you want
to be in
the black a year from now, sadly your best play is just
to
take off with
the funds
greencabbige: I
think our intial seed funding from
the orgianlly IPO was about $2.5k we now about 480k in bitcoins alone, a server, 5TH/s and a 30% depsoit on 1(GH/s) of scrypt.
greencabbige: we've been on
three exchanges now everything is fully recorded in our old
thread. yes i have loads of old spreadsheets. Although
the accounts guy didn't comne on board until last summer We orginally raised 200BTC in early 2012
then 120BTc last summer.
