MarieLynn: Now I am being
transparent abotu how hard it is
to get into bitcoin and stay housed!!
MarieLynn: I have been
transparent about my life on

to Google aspie polymath and file
that under

the case for mostly everyone here, I would imagine

fluffypony: MarieLynn: we've just been
talking about you :)
bitcoinpete: pankkake: ya, her situation sounds crummy. i invited her here so maybe she can do something in
the future
fluffypony: why would she pay for memberships
to
the foundation?
bitcoinpete: " So far my experience of Bitcoin has been rather sad. I received my first Bitcoin paycheck a few months ago and promptly lost 30% of it due
to
the dip. I was
then almost unable
to extract it from Vault of Satoshi because
they stopped sending out checks. I was able
to pay for my membership
to Bitcoin Alliance and Bitcoin Foundation at least. "
bitcoinpete: "For a few months, I have been developing business relationships with people in Bitcoin. As with any of
the communities I have joined and
thrived in
the past 25 years, I am paying my dues in Bitcoin by doing some volounteer work."

to cement my
thoughts
ThickAsThieves: I kicked him off
the project shortly after, and we nearly came
to blows as roommates not long after
that. I never got past writing
the plan,
thankfully.
ThickAsThieves: haha, cleaning old stuff and found a business plan i did
to open a record store, i was pretty young obv: "XXXX XXXX will help me with of retail store's responsibilities. He is an extremely
trusted friend and works very well with people. I whole-heartedly feel he is my best and favorite choice for
the position."
Apocalyptic: <artifexd> Bloomberg is using Kraken as
the source? WTF? << same reaction here
mircea_popescu: artifexd you obviously don't have
the "valuable skills"
to understand
these
things :D
artifexd: Bloomberg is using Kraken as
the source? WTF?
They had less
than 10btc of volume in

the actual point
this all started from.
ThickAsThieves: and looking back at last year's AMS conference, he was pretty quiet on
the panels

that created its own payment protocol and prides itself on a
transparent public ledger of

mircea_popescu: So, who is Stefan
Thomas, and why is he
the person Powell called?
ThickAsThieves: “A lot of
these
things are difficult
to verify or prove”

Trilema - Un blog de Mircea

ozbot: The idea for a great film… pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform course
the flaw
there is
to assume people whose
tech is bow and arrow have
the means
to fight a Ww.
ozbot: Lectia de humor pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
ThickAsThieves: miserable dude in camo eating at
the place he cleans shit
mircea_popescu: it seems
to me like
this is slow onset schizophrenia, mydear boy.
mircea_popescu: well...
the reports
that were made
to make you feel good are made in
the way
that we agreed will make you feel good.
ThickAsThieves: but
then are like, well a million people left, so
there's
that
ThickAsThieves: well part of my dafuckness is how
they are all "It's a flat out good report. All of
the metrics
that you want
to see improve, did," said
Tom Porcelli
mircea_popescu: you want
to leave, everyone you know here wants
to leave, what's so surprising ?
ThickAsThieves: "The one
thing I would be careful with
though is
the decline in
the unemployment rate,
the decline in
the unemployment rate was a function of
the labour force falling by 806,000,
that is gargantuan decline," he added.
ThickAsThieves: The US economy created 288,000 jobs in April,
the strongest monthly job creation since January 2012.
mircea_popescu: lol. ah if only
they had enough sense
to do what
told a while back.
ThickAsThieves: yeah
that's
true, when i was
there 10 people might show up, but only 3 or 4 ever
talked
ThickAsThieves: they won't remove me from
their email list so i still see hints of it
ThickAsThieves: i
think
the asicminer board is in an ill state actually
mircea_popescu: to celebrities desperate for retroactive "involvement" who still are noobish enough
to imagine
this will allow
them
to bypass
the wot.
ThickAsThieves: GoCoin, isnt
that
the one all
the SeedCoinFund people are butthurt about "missing" out on?
mircea_popescu: i wonder if asicminer has figured out yet
that it can probably make a decent penny selling such "board seats"
mircea_popescu: so it'd be safe
to say he was attracted
to bitcoin by bruce wagner ?
ThickAsThieves: the
trio had fled
the country (Pierce reached a settlement).
ThickAsThieves: But
the idea
that underage boys were drugged and raped at
the Encino estate, and sometimes
threatened with guns by Collins-Rector, is hardly new. Egan was one of several young men
to make such allegations in lawsuits filed against Collins-Rector, Shackley and Pierce 14 years ago -- court cases in which
the plaintiffs won $4.5 million from Collins-Rector and Shackley by default because
mircea_popescu: let me guess. yet another ex child actor
turned bitcoin investiteur ?
mircea_popescu: or if
they will
take 2.0 as a
thing
that actually existed, and continue
the count.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves im kinda curious how far
the nonsense will go. specificaslly, if
the comatose media-only "Web 2.0" will be forgotten and a new web 2.0 will be enacted, out of
the same pressed shitboard,
