mjr_: it is JUST
as illiquid
as it was in 2009

as anything other then a speculative tool, in terms of money in only functions
as such in cybercrime for example because there are NO alternatives.

as you keep moving

cerelenius: an early adopter or large coin holder just has to sit and do nothing,
as everyone else "adds to the ecosystem" their coins swell in value with next to no risk, and they didnt even have to hire labor lol
cerelenius: apocalyptic: bitcoin
as a currency resembles a sophisticated wealth transfer scheme, those who have more of it benefit from the work of everyone else

as said above, it's not that bad

as x.eur's vwap
ninjashogun: guys I've received some suggestions to "lurk" and "read logs" here, which I wouldn't really have time to do. It was nice meeting you all though and I may be back
as the project progresses. Overall I don't think I will be spending a ton of time building WoT, advisors, etc -
as I have real-world references for the moment that I would expect anyone to consutl.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, when you said above that this channel was worth "over $1b" I didn't takei t seriously
as if it has like 500 regulars then just a couple of people worth $50M - or a single Internet billionaire who drops in sometimes - would account for that

as issues hit.
antephialtic: wait it does? I'm running osx with gpg from homebrew and it doesn't have ecdsa

as cheeky
as that sounds, you're actually onto something there
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: well, there's an obvious interpretation of a square matrix
as a graph
greenspan_fan: but I always conceptualized pagerank for instance
as being essentially graph theoretic in nature
ninjashogun: So just to put this in context I have just connected this week with the other mathetician I am creating this site with, so it is a very fresh startup opportunity. To whoever asked about the means of investing, standard terms
as you would suggest based on hearing abou thte opportunity etc.
ozbot: How to recover your money
as a small time investor with funds in mtgox
mircea_popescu: a large chunk of the way i designed mpex is so
as to empower people to grow their own stuff
copumpkin: joe shmoe mined 10000 coins on his old laptop in 2009
as a joke
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves inasmuch
as one intends to measure sophistication, bitcoin holdings alone would show on the historical record an insufficient measure.
mircea_popescu: but yes,
as the j man says, nothing keeps you from doing brokerage for any market segment you identify and think you can serve.
greenspan_fan: at this point idk whether it's positive (
as a mark of differentiation) or whether you're losing business because it seems like it's pre-1999
nubbins`: ah, bc.info has edited their statement
as well
Bones_: If everyone was in here, then we wouldn't make
as much money?
greenspan_fan: bitcoin becomes the national currency of ecuador and he flees britain
as a citizen
ThickAsThieves: My brother met domain broker Joe Politzer in Singapore who got excited about gox.com and then I said he could try to sell it if he wanted. He called Karpeles and Gox to find out if they wanted it and immediately they expressed pretty strong interest. I’ve asked Mark if it’s ok to publish details (no response
as yet).”

nubbins`: now it's all left
as an exercise to the reader
nubbins`: honestly, i think this selkis guy completely fabricated the pdf and associated "story", for whatever reason, but then it grew legs, people started panicking and issuing statements, so gox (who knew it was only a matter of time anyway) decided now was
as good a time
as any to give it up
gx: mightve been written in haste
as an initial draft
Apocalyptic:
as unreal
as it may appear, I think the doc is legit
greenspan_fan: but if it is a hoax, and one of those 'startup ftw!' jackasses made it, then they might be sunk
as well
nubbins`:
as is the "we are a bunch of cunts who shouldn't be in business" line
greenspan_fan: of course, the rebranding
as "gox.com" is hilarious, too
nubbins`: "The reality is that MtGox can go bankrupt at any moment, and certainly deserves to
as a company"
greenspan_fan: or there really is a consulting firm
as lousy
as mt gox is an exchange
Bugpowder:
as the mt gox green address passes it the coins several links up the chain.
mike_c: it basically means i can't give up the odds the weight is laying. the weight being the decreasing odds that bitbets offer

kakobrekla: is that "8 absofuckinglutley the fuckin same
as Đ" in php?

as a rule of thumb, it opens up the agent to all sorts of liabilities.
pankkake: oh, dota
as day of the dentacle. not the other gayme
mircea_popescu: "small captcha-for-btc transaction". Two months later MP gave him a rating
