MisterE: no reason
to say BTC will be
the one
that "wins"

that may be a mistake

mircea_popescu: im sure when law was writing it wasn't directly obvious
that
the
thing'll end up as a welfare scam either.
decimation: it seems like it's not possible for bitcoin

antephialtic: Shrem was just being used, and
too negligent
to realize
antephialtic: well

the bigger prize for
the state since he was actually laundering SR money
mircea_popescu: "According

mircea_popescu: antephialtic well your friend won't irc and i'm not about
to argue with anyone on
twitter, so i guess
that's
that.
