mircea_popescu: at are so expensive that even professionals cringe. It’s like owning a jumbo jet: you can’t afford not to fly it, hence the constant references to workflow in the marketing. Alas, in between these two types we find the equivalent of a valence band or forbidden zone."

<< here.
kakobrekla: if bingo then go fuck yourself
< problem
mircea_popescu: "evolutionary path from amateur to professional has been economically closed off by marketing."

pete_dushenski: "So… You judge a society as successful if it has enough money for a vibrant arts scene but not enough to alleviate the effects of poverty? Call me crazy, but I don’t think the first of us started forming this grand experiment I call society just so we can finger-paint together."
<< lulzy contravex comment o' the day
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: is he like the only b-a jew or something ?

ninjashogun:
<ninjashogun> hi - could I ask you to remove my full name from the logs. I have been open about what it is and it appears once or twice in the bitcoin-assets logs. I realize that this ecosystem is very different and that people here don't believe in traditional startups, but I have investors doing due dilligence on me, and it is uncomfortable to come up in google results.
