bravetheworld: +mirces_popescu regarding my classification of "basic bitch" as an adjective (although I use it as a noun in the video) I see it as a description of a state of mind.

mircea_popescu: dudesir you know you can just use a broker ? it makes little sense to acquire a mpex seat out of your last bitcoins.

kakobrekla: prolly but dunno if that is helpful much
dudesir: the fees for joining... you said 30 BTC... is that going to stay in BTC value, if it goes up (im assuming it would stay) or pegged to fiat, and if you will let people know if/when it goes up (twitter or something)
