as reproductive furniture ?
ThickAsThieves: is there a religion for this, worshiping bacteria and our role

as a sexual practice is fundamentally driven by the need to compensate for a lack of bacterial load in the digestive tract.

Namworld: A scammer will scam anyone... ANYONE.

mircea_popescu: just
as well i could believe it's a sign from god and go into the church.
pankkake: bitbet would be a great tool
as insurance against black market closure

as a result.

as of a few years ago
as well
benkay: 'cause what is physical beauty without
as prince calls it "pussy control"
benkay:
as a result, redheads are undervalued in the sexual marketplace
mircea_popescu:
as conversations online progress, the odds of mp comissioning hitler paintings and the odds of each participant to the convo running their own altchain both increase towards 1
benkay:
as if it didn't before...
mircea_popescu: (in the sense that total resources spent, including time / total market value -
as an integral from current price to zero = ~.6x)

KRS1: mircea_popescu: goes back to something I've noticed
as I get older, most fuckwits in business or whatever it is they do, barely do it right. They're usually off putting their efforts in farting or dancing or whatever it is they do other than their jobs.
mircea_popescu: an ipo is more like, i am a carpenter, give me money to carpent. the investor has no recourse

as if it were a thing

KRS1: So if we all invest in a company that needs $100 dollars, using bitcoin,
as long
as the $100 dollar investment goal has been reached, what is wrong with executing the rest of the business operations?
mike_c:
as opposed to the investors in the company that DID keep buying coal and lost a shitload of money
KRS1: Who cares how much you could have made off of the initial BTC investment.
As long
as you've reached your investment goals, deploy the capital and fund the project.
KRS1: Once you reach yor capitalisation goal, why can't yo ujust move on and mature the IPO
as discussed in the business plan? The idea is not to make money off the initial investment, its to make money according to the business plan.
KRS1: Companies typically launch an IPO to raise funds, along with a business plan, to bring a particular product or service to market with the intent on making a profit. Why shouldn't a company raise funds for X amount of BTC, cash it in for fiat? According to the business plan, the investment should request $X dollars for Y project.
As long
as the funds are matched, and everything falls
mircea_popescu: "Vitalik understands growth hacking, and got himself a landing page. It's got that modern, professional, single-pagey look the kids all love, and takes in emails. There's even a countdown to the Revolution beginning, although it's entirely opaque
as to what precisely is Revolving other than Satoshi in his grave."
mircea_popescu: moreover, you can arguably have ops w/o speculation, dubious and sickly
as that may be

as they can keep their coding fees low
ozbot: Mix your coins for 1% - Bitbet
as Mixer
mircea_popescu:
as opposed to the burdened world of fiat, where useless substitutes take four years+ and deliver no actual value.
mircea_popescu: "This creation of a new city, piled on top of the massive tribute owed to the Persians,
as well
as the necessary donative to the army to secure its acceptance of his accession, meant Philip was desperately short of money. To pay for it, he ruthlessly increased levels of taxation, while at the same time he ceased paying subsidies to the tribes north of the Danube that were vital for keeping the peace on the frontiers."
pankkake: "Further more there is no company behind Sollar Bonds.
As stated it is an Open-Sourced Dac with a Social Contract attached to each bond. Google social contract. Sollar Bonds is not a company it is a DAC-DAO."
mircea_popescu: benkay im not rly hiring you to do it tho, think of it

mircea_popescu: "It was just a temporary thing, I told myself—side income for a year or two
as I worked toward a degree in creative writing. It wasn’t like a recession would come along and lock me into the job or anything." i wonder how many losers currently are hiding this from themselves with the pretense to "creative writing" aspirations.

wao-ender: but well, I'm marked
as master troll in my circles, is that great way to start?
mircea_popescu: just
as long
as you have a point, offending idiots is actually a net positive for you.
mircea_popescu: forget "being involved". do.
as in, for yourself, properly.
mircea_popescu: easy way to be fucking sensible, to counterbalance all the idiots speaking for bitcoin
as if they had a clue
mircea_popescu: ja ma mi, so jenen is in fact "one". romanian doesn't have it. there's cineva = somebody, but there's no "one"
as an impersonal Is person.
BingoBoingo: It seems like a rather futile enterprise to try, but if the Doge'ers are
as brazen
as they seem to be now.
herbijudlestoids: and while BTC might make an elegant medium of exchange it wont be adopted
as a reference point like EUR since its hard
herbijudlestoids: i do not compare gold (or btc) to stocks when evaluating its job
as a store of value
herbijudlestoids: i do not know them specifically except in their capacity

as a 10 based on his sexual attractiveness
mircea_popescu: jesus google is shitty, there's a conjunctive verbal form there, definitely can't work

as sure
as for the other words

as such. it's a disused word and most speakers would only take it
as an antiquated form for older sister/girlfriend
decimation: I believe they have unofficially said
as much
herbijudlestoids: your summary is about
as useful
as the stupid analogy that decimation gave earlier.
mircea_popescu: a cluelessness about the real value of assets, which may
as well mean "buying US stocks"
as it may mean "moving money from our account to our account"
mircea_popescu: "Nobody will care that the original paper may have been written by an American and the original discussion on the long forgotten original Bitcoin forum was carried in English. I can deal just
as well with Russian investors, I can deal just
as well with Chinese investors, Bitcoin is completely neutral from a cultural perspective. This neutrality means that cultures will have to compete. So far the US is losing this comp
decimation: Indeed. Exactly
as you predicted, the regulators are more than happy to cede currency regulation to Bitcoin, if Bitcoin allows them to crowbar their banks.
herbijudlestoids: "bitcoin just is,
as long
as many coordinate in a mysterious way"
herbijudlestoids: also i dont think bitcoin is worthless, i think it has a considerable value
as a medium of exchange
herbijudlestoids: you cant just call a currency the strong one for no reason. the use of a particular asset
as a store of value by the marginal global saver(s) is what gives it that characteristic
herbijudlestoids: well it works inasmuch
as you can convince people to join the BTC economy and exchange real good and services, and in cases where you cant it doesnt work
herbijudlestoids: i guess up to oyu if you wanna use 4Y ROC
as proof of its viability
as a store of value but i dont feel very convinced
herbijudlestoids: what youre proposing here is essentially BTC takes over the economic role of USD
as global reserve asset

mircea_popescu: they're dumb
as rocks, lazy
as a limp cock and proud like peacocks.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is interesting for the student/teen that doubles
as a hooker on her own
lippoper: mp, i'm not sure how it all works to be honest, but from what I understand Canada gives businesses more confidence to deal in virtual currencies because at least they've defined it
as a commodity.
lippoper: KRS1 wasn't
as good
as your last one... ;-)
lippoper: that VOS is based in Canada, where they are treating virtual currencies
as a commodity
mircea_popescu: you know, for the record :
as weird
as it may seem, this has been mainstream sexuality since about queen victoria up until 1970-1980.
