mircea_popescu: well so you can appreciate our problem. if we were
to
try and evaluate your claim, we'd have no objective weay
to distinguish you from a random guy
that bought a
ticket.
Drew: there is plenty of published material regarding EDMutual and Decibel
though, and
through
them i can very readily prove my association with
this project
Drew: probably not honestly. I organized
the entire
team
that
threw it, met and introduced
the 2 partners (EDMutual and Decibel), designed
the initial business plan and found
the investment. My name isnt on any of
that
though
mircea_popescu: any published material
that includes your name in connection
to
this ?
Drew: they grew more expensive as
the event approached but
that was one of
the early bird prices
mircea_popescu: Drew aha so nov 15, North Atlanta
Trade Center, $40 a
ticket.
mircea_popescu: most industrialised countries do not, lepidopterae being some of
the most sensitive
to pollution
Drew: several articles come up just from
the google search
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In my region we seem
to be having a strong rebound year for bees.
mircea_popescu: Drew
there seems
to be no mention anywhere except on
the promoters' fb pages.
Drew: more
than 5 years
to reach
that usage rate? or more
than 5 years for all BTC
to be mined? or both?
BingoBoingo: Prolly
take more
than five years for
that
though
ozbot: BitBet - Bitcoin
to surpass Berkshire as an investment
Drew: relative
to
todays USD value
Drew: something along
those lines
Drew: my friend has
told me
that with a 1% widespread usage, with all
the BTC mined
they would be 1 million USD apiece?
Drew: in
the next 5 years, what do you see
the roi being on bitcoin?
benkay: shit gets complicated fast when you
touch both positive and negative
terminals.
Duffer1: you would have
to be incredibly profitable
to roi for investors who buy in BTC if your customers are paying in fiat
benkay: most investors who want
to go long
the USD do so with
their USD investments.
Drew: really? i was referred
to it as being one of
the
top 2000 most
trafficked sites on
the internet
BingoBoingo: There probably are some. Not many people
take anything on Bitcointalk seriously
Drew: do you not
think
that
there are investors in
that space
that would be interested in fiat investments?
Drew: so if
the bitcoin assets space is definitely almost entirely btc focused, would you say
that
the bitcointalk space is as well? I have had a couple of responses even on my posts
that were almost entirely flame-ridden
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I imagine
they have half of it. Seaman vs. Able Seaman
mod6: if i had 1 satoshi for everytime
they got it wrong, i'd have 1 BTC by now.
benkay: yeah,
that's a good one.
mod6: pff, how about 'how many satoshi in 1 BTC?' i see
them get
this wrong /constantly/ on
twitter, drives me up a
tree.
BingoBoingo: benkay: I
think asciilifeform Has a better point
Drew: where would be a good point
to start, readingwise
benkay: (referring
to BingoBoingo)
BingoBoingo: The way
to learn
though is more reading
than doing, at least at first.
benkay: death
to fiat fueled governments etc etc
Drew: i feel
that
there should be a way
to earn
trust with
this space in other ways
than proving bitcoin competency
BingoBoingo: Drew: Well
the best
time
to start learning
the space was 2010-2011.
The next best
time
to start learning is
today.
benkay: but
this is a bitcoin centric space.
benkay: various artists have been commissioned via
this channel
Drew: and also my referral
to
this space
Drew: im definitely not an idiot, but a good friend of mine is
the bitcoin expert
benkay: and also
that you execute
Drew: also as much as i appreciate
the bitcoin space, it is not my expertise
BingoBoingo: The point
though is
to continue demonstrating you aren't an idiot
benkay: 'course,
there's no cardano yet.
benkay: mircea_popescu has a standing offer on
the
table for people
to promote
the cardano
BingoBoingo: These
things happen nearly every day. Maybe it
takes a while for something
to fit your skillset.
Drew: trust would be
the point
Drew: seems like lucrative isnt
the point
BingoBoingo: It really depends. You can scroll up
to
the conversation about making ozbot better as an example.
benkay: and
the opportunities are neither guaranteed nor lucrative.
benkay: thing is
that you gotta lurk
BingoBoingo: Drew: If you lurk opportunities get offered rather frequently
to do
things for people.
assbot: Voice for Drew extended
to 30 minutes.
benkay: what you've *been*
trusted
to do
benkay: what you can be
trusted
to do
Drew: what can i do
that is productive
towards my goal
to gain
that
assbot: Voice for Drew extended
to 30 minutes.
Drew: so i will basically have
to dig a hole and fill it back in again for
the sole sake of demonstrating competence
benkay: basically, other humans have
to
trust you.
Drew: so what is
the easiest way
to accquire
trust
through
that? or
the most efficient rather
Drew: yeah benkay, it seems like
the web of
trust is where i need
to head
to
Drew: i'd imagine
that it happens both ways every day actually
Drew: i would imagine
that
there are some btc connections
that may decide
to become a fiat connection any day
though
benkay: i can't
trust you without it
though.
benkay: not much use if you're running a fiat biz and only care about your fiat connections,
though.
benkay: ;;google bitcoin-otc web of
trust
benkay: best way
to substantiate claims about identity is...get in
to
the wot and get people vouching for you.
Drew: i would hope
that
that would separate me from people such as dank
Drew: and actually have a
team with 50 years of experience in
the market
Drew: We actually have experience
though, have accomplished some
things already, and are looking
to expand
BingoBoingo: Honestly Drew you sound like a less floridly psychotic version of Dank on bitcointalk with
this plan.
Drew: with
the exception of
tomorrowworld and counterpoint, 2 multi-day festivals with 100x
the budget
Drew: the response was
that it was
the 3rd best electronic music event held in atlanta
to date
Drew: we just successfully
threw a music festival in atlanta with some pretty star studded acts
benkay: what experience do you have managing dopamine-depleted volunteers and arbitrating rape accusations on
the fly?
benkay: have you done anything like
this before?
benkay: business rolls downhill
to
the heavy objects. be a heavy object.
Drew: thats ok, politeness isn't something i came looking for. I have a
thick skin and would prefer constructive brute criticism
to beating around
the bush senseless politeness any day
benkay: go outside. meet people in
the entertainment biz. raise money, do
thing.
