mircea_popescu: here's the scheme : whatever
usg affiliate, be it goldman sachs or herpy q derp that holds any sum of btc will lend it to the
usg btc policy bureau in exchange for fiat guarantees.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes pretty much every single major sucking of chumps change you will see from about q1 onwards will be and has been a psyops riding on top of a
usg-backed institutional lending for shorts
ben_vulpes: yeah, i get it i read it, but whence the source? there was the usms sale which is theoretically trickling into the market, and the ether sale which may or may not be trickling into the market. the former, clearly
usg. the latter as well?
ben_vulpes: or btc sent to ether addr is loan to
usg?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: ether is a loan to the
usg?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes kinda what the
usg needs, more loans of this type.
decimation: he thinks
usg will stop bitcoin - I don't find that a very credible thesis.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i'd love to read the canaltalkforums where all the "business ceos" go to ipo for their new dig projects and special
usg contracts
mircea_popescu: ;;rate etotheipi -10
usg plant. helps nsa in every way he can, lies about it every chance he gets.
ascii_at_beach: 'kindly install this trojan, for the good of the Motherland. sincerely,
usg.'
decimation: this goes back to Mircea's point -
USG "wants" things, but it can't really afford them - it's running on the "fumes" of past memories
decimation: re: drillbit << even
usg safes are rated for only 10 minutes forced entry
ben_vulpes: much self-contradiction. it's the lot of the nearly-enlightened under the
USG.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> If
USG doesn't consider failure to pay federal taxes a basis to deny a security clearance, one wonders upon what basis the clearance is granted? <<< i don't think you understand how few people still pay their taxes.
decimation: If
USG doesn't consider failure to pay federal taxes a basis to deny a security clearance, one wonders upon what basis the clearance is granted?
BingoBoingo: FoOdies5: Are you
USG in Costana entrapping?
chetty: haha well I kinda just assume
usg and eu is doing same stuffs these days
mircea_popescu:
usg is spending a lot of money time and resources trying to infiltrate it!
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves that would then not be a btc atm. it would be a satanic
usg attack on btc.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla because when you stop bothering you become part of the meta-
usg.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform unless one is a thermodynamics gaylord, it is irrelevant what living costs. you're running a business, not a charity. except in the us, of course, where all the <del>corporations</del>
usg sponsored charities foul up the market, and with it, the culture and people's heads.
decimation: I don't think the
usg hides this stuff either, it just gets pushed into statistics that no one reads. The
usg has a compulsion to account for itself (in its own crazy way)
decimation: I'm not sure that
usg is capable of keeping the deaths of its employees secret
decimation: if the power of
usg wanes to that degree, I think you will see the power return to the localities/states
mircea_popescu: kinda what makes it better than oppresive regimes a la
usg in the first place.
decimation: you can own, you just have to confess to
usg you have them
mircea_popescu: this isn't nearly as cut and dried a matter as the
usg likes to pretend (forced mistake, it has no alternative than to so pretend).
mircea_popescu: eh spare me the derpage. you and the rest of the
usg plants are trying to push forward a certain political aggenda.
mircea_popescu: while the
usg is busy drinking chateau lafitte out of the taxpayer's moneyz.
BingoBoingo: I guess that people will have to read other places that he is suspected of being the lead
USG plant
dub: much like cnn or fox is
usg powered
BingoBoingo: OMG
USG Side channel attack on TaT via Ebay-Wife interaction
decimation: if bitcoin goes up another one or two orders of magnitude in dollar value, it will be that much worse for the
usg to do anything
decimation: mircea: the
usg tends to maximally claim & minimally deliver
mircea_popescu: anyway, one of the comparatively more important btc valuations is, "cost incurred by the
usg litigating per btc available to defendant".
decimation: why would
usg bother with the minor part of the little brother anyway
mircea_popescu: i get more for .1 a tit for crying out loud. wasn't the
usg supposed to be like rich and powerful and whatnot ?
mircea_popescu: a few moar victories like this and teh
usg won't need any defeats.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony wouldn';t be the first time the
usg ignores the us law.
benkay: hm this nydfs paper looks like a suicide note from the
usg mircea_popescu: that's the funny thing with the
usg bureaucracy, the entire "make the laws too complex and then add regulation" thing used to work in their favour cca 1980-1990. but once that starts moving it doesn't stop, and now they're left behind.
BingoBoingo: decimation:
USG has been sending rednecks overseas since tripoli
decimation:
usg has been sending rednecks overseas for two generations at least
decimation: I wonder why
usg & hmg bother to pay "spies" to ... secretly watch ebay auctions
decimation: ultimately the
usg depends on "likes" in the polling booth, right?
benkay: so does the
usg, for that matter.
decimation: some part of the
usg has to be able to operate in secrecy effectively to perform this laudering plan right?
decimation: eh, that supposes that the
usg is secretly competent, which you just implied was not the case above
decimation: what does the fact that the US auctioned off the DPR horde of btc rather than put it in the fed reveal about
usg?
mircea_popescu: if there were no pirate and no silkroad whatshisname, the
usg wouldn't be tempted today by the very dangerous heresy that "maybe it can make it on its own"
decimation: it seems to me that if oil is so cheap, it should be burned for power, but I suspect
USG has banned that too (to do it cheaply)
mircea_popescu: mexican standoff. the
usg doesn't mind idiot eu bureaucrats fucking themselves over, but otherwise, it won't really shoot first.
decimation: but it does reveal many truths about the way
USG actually works, rather than the way everyone pretend it works
mircea_popescu: actually, i don't know a single feminist, actual, honest fmeinist in a place of power within the
usg. not one.
mircea_popescu: where did all the guys that used to argue with me about the fakeness of
usg published figures go!
decimation: ascii, this is proof of the point you made the other day. If
USG finds a website for 'hos intolerable, how much more intolerable would a "private army" be?
xmj: cgcardona: the problem with the US government setting the gold price that at first, having gold priced way over market rates, that created a huge inflow as everyone scrambled to sell gold to the
USG at inflated prices
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (
usg) nsa needs to hire a new script writer << outsourced.
benkay: only foreign banks, and only maybe, and only if the
USG catches you and your dodging of thtupid embargoes is woefully poorly managed
mircea_popescu: o dude look how that
usg auction destroyued the price o noes.
benkay: another factor in breaking the
USG's power monopoly will be the cheaply made en-masse autonomous thingers capable of bringing down any bird or boat they field
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: USMS should liveblog the auction << sadly, the website to do that wouldcost the
usg more than the auction's worth
