domsch: Johann is speaking
there - didn’t know
that, awesome.
bitcoinpete: i'll see if anyone else
there can as readily point out
the scammers as -assets
ozbot: SPEAKERS | Bitcoin Expo 2014 in
Toronto - April 11 - 13Bitcoin Expo 2014 in
Toronto – April 11 –
bitcoinpete: I'm going
to
this next weekend. I wonder which speaker will be
the lulziest
bitcoinpete: benkay: it's how and when
they're used
that changes :)
ThickAsThieves: it's hard
to battle idiocy on
tv, it corrupts
through
the nature of its questioning alone
benkay: tchaw bitcoinpete
the chems are
the same as
they've always been
Namworld: Hey, Bitcoin Magazine is a premium magazine for
the amateur of lulz, of course it commands a premium price. It's hard work coming up with
this amount of lulz.
kakobrekla: i dunno, i know fury a bit, we
talked a lot before he became famous, i wouldnt
think he would be up for
that.
bitcoinpete: ThickAsThieves: ya,
then we'll see if inflationary btc' is worth more or less
than satoshi's btc
bitcoinpete: kakobrekla: it's in
the video in
the article, ya
bitcoinpete: that bitfury is looking
to ipo in london is hilarious
tho.
they should
try mpex first
ThickAsThieves: they can
try, and
the people who dont like it can stay on
the other prong of
the fork
bitcoinpete: it's probably
to be
taken as seriously as
the greenlist
talk
bitcoinpete: thestringpuller: gotta be puppets with guns
to
their heads
kakobrekla: Mats_cd03 i forgot, but you get a
temp ban (lasting minutes) if you go over it
thestringpuller: where
the fuck is all
this
talk of making bitcoin inflationary coming from?
bitcoinpete: "George Kikvadze, board member and advisor of BitFury, said Monday
that if
the notion of a finite number of bitcoins was ever altered it would be fair and should not undermine
the value."
bitcoinpete: prevents me from spending my days doing as
the 18th century jooz, as mp once put it
Namworld: What
the fuck, Bitcoin Magazine?
Namworld: Do you want
to pay
taxes on gains, or deduct losses... of actual losses... One gains you more, even after
taxes,
the other deprives you of money...
ThickAsThieves: $10 worth of bitcoin has got me
through a year of
trilema
pLambert: business idea! collect
the
trilemma posts for each month and print
them
thestringpuller: if
trilema were in print it wouldn't even be
that expensive
thestringpuller: wow bitcoin magazine is really scraping
the bottom of
the barrel
these days
bitcoinpete: asciilifeform: architects of land buildings
take
tours of
their work
too. weaknesses from buried risks aren't really
tested upfront
ThickAsThieves: inflating bitcoin would
trigger no capital gains liability, only capital losses, reducing
the
tax liability of
the filer."
ThickAsThieves: "Better yet: if
the Bitcoin community managed
to change
the protocol
to increase
the rate
that miners can “unlock” new coins… Bitcoin might have a built-in incentive
to both adopt
the currency and report
taxable earnings. Let’s say
that we accepted an inflationary Bitcoin, much like we have an inflationary dollar, around 2 or 3% annualized. At
the end of
the year, a consistently
bitcoinpete: Namworld: california maybe? i hear
their paperwork is nuts
bounce: many, many places. generally
the places with large informal economies
bitcoinpete: asciilifeform: give
them a little bunk next
to
the captain's
Namworld: Where
the fuck does it
take 200 forms and 10 years
to start building?
The Land of Bureaucratia?
jurov: it's easy
to bash... pointing out which regulations are nonsense is harder
jurov: i don't
think checking
the building isn't gonna fall someday is easy
bitcoinpete: keeps
the barriers
to entry high and
the entrenched players comfy and content
bitcoinpete: just like
the medical system
treats symptoms like cancer instead of
the root causes, like shitty food
bounce: take a piece of land,
try and put a building on it. some places
the paperwork can easily
take 200+ forms and 10+ years. so people just start
to build and rent out
the building without bothering with
the paperwork. it's a risk, but, you know.
bounce: there are ways
to fix it but since
they're a symptom of a(n often deliberately) broken official economy,
that needs fixing first
bitcoinpete: the bezzle economy deploys its regulators under
the guide of "public health"
to clean
this stuff up but it really can't go away
bounce: hernando de soto wrote about it, _the mystery of capital_, just why some people have no access
to
the official economy and so dwell in
the alternative shadow economy
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] [PAID] 2.22203904 BTC
to 5`408 shares, 41088 satoshi per share
Namworld: But you pay
too much for less...
bounce: not being part of
the, well, bezzle economy is
the word here
bitcoinpete: and
they don't need a damage deposit at
these places
bounce: just saying "haven't looked around enough" is
too easy. one common reason is because
the slum-dwellers don't have access
to anything better.
bitcoinpete: namworld 100%. my guess is
that people
tolerate it because it places
them close
to
their community, including family and social services
bounce: so we see
that slums aren't necessarily cheap. why
then do people still dwell
there?
Namworld: And if you rent
that, you haven't looked around enough.
Namworld: Otherwise, even if
the place ain't nice, just cleaning it
through and keeping it so and no problems.
Namworld: I don't
think "Canada Slums" and "Slums" are
the same
thing. By international standard, probably luxurious
bounce: probably should do a writeup of
that "research" so you have something proper
to link
to.
nubbins`: but for something
that an adult with dignity and respect would live in...
nubbins`: Namworld
there are very few 1br apartments so
the prices on 'em are a bit high
nubbins`: 5 years ago you could find
the same 1br for $600
nubbins`: while
technically not
the maritimes, a 1br apt in downtown st. john's, newfoundland will run you 700-900
bitcoinpete: existing investors gained confidence, new ones stepped up
to
the plate and learned how
to mpex
bitcoinpete: mike_c i
think
the sec press brought in new money
mike_c: yeah, luckily i showed up after
the dice bubble and before
the acquisition :)
KRS-1: step 5) beat off
to some .bait step 6)
take a shit
jurov: you weren't
there when S.DICE
traded.
there were massive buys *just after* dividends were paid
mike_c: step 1)
turn off 70% of revenue. step 2) stock goes up 20%.
assbot: Last
trade for S.MPOE on MPEX was at 0.00100163 BTC [+]
mike_c: unbelievable. i would write a blog post on
this if i understood it at all.
assbot: I
thought I
told you not
to
touch me.
ozbot: BitBet - S.MPOE
to rise above 0.001 before July
Mats_cd03: all of
the consumer versions of quadcopters suck balls
jurov: that's why
they pay
themselves bonuses for hazardous working conditions
mike_c: he must not have agreed
to
the banker suicide pact.
bitcoinpete: “We believe
that all of
the expenses
the SEC was complaining of were permitted by
the limited partnership agreements and Delaware law,” said Aegis Frumento, a partner at Stern
Tannenbaum & Bell LLP in New York, who represents Brittenham and
the firm. “We have every confidence at
the end of
the day
that
these charges will not be found
to have been fraudulent under
the Investors Advisers Act.”
bitcoinpete: i was using "vehaha",
then saw
that mp had already played on it, so i adopted his for
the sake of continuity
jurov: not
typo, it's explained in footnote
bounce: looks like a
typo in
the guy's surname
bitcoinpete: for enlightenment and enjoyment, i picked apart peter vehehes' latest "Annual Letter from
the Chairman of
the Bitcoin Foundation":
bitcoinpete: ;;later
tell wywialm
thx for reading. i suspect
that both prices and wages are downward rigid.
the effect of
this will be
the necessary checking of egos. hunger will loosen up
that rigidity before long.
the human competitive streak will soon come out --> renaissance.
Apocalyptic: "the decision
to postpone
the event was a direct result of a “negative response from government authorities” or more specifically,
The Federal Security Service of
the Russian Federation,
the FSB"
