nubbins`: they're totally not an order of magnitude short on volume-based trading fees either
benkay: hey youse guise today i learned bitcoin doesn't have the discipline to be a monopoly
benkay: BCB: impossible to differentiate incompetence and malice from this dimension
nubbins`: nah man, HIF is totally gonna pay dividends like they promised
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] [PAID] 1.41654500 BTC to 21`793 shares, 6500 satoshi per share
kakobrekla: no, the other way around i think
benkay: ;;later tell JorgePasada hey lookie you're famous now: http://bash.bitcoin-assets.com/?quote=90
mircea_popescu: few better ways to establish credibility than to awkwardly cut away the watermark on some unrelated design
kakobrekla: nubbins` this thing you linked earlier from the log, its in the bash, this one precisely:
mircea_popescu: "Herp Rating Agency is an initiative born out of the need for due diligence in the Bitcoin ecosystem."
nubbins`: but the same could happen from any number of intense experiences
nubbins`: nod, worst that usually happens is that people start thinking you're a bit odd
Mats_cd03: ive eaten vials of the stuff and im mostly all here
tg2: I think you could probably kill yourself as a result of taking to much lsd
nubbins`: Mats_cd03: i'm not saying "guy now thinks he's an orange" or anything
nubbins`: great way to get a permanent thousand-yard stare
nubbins`: not in the sense that you'll cause damage to your body, no
mircea_popescu: well... you can't really od on the stuff can you ?
nubbins`: guy takes 5000ug of LSD. "good trip."
nubbins`: "A guy orders 25 hits. I send him a 5x5 sheet. His feedback reads "The hit was very large but I managed to fit it in my mouth. The lines were neat. Good trip". I wonder if the guy thought the 25 hits were one!?"
benkay: girls voicemail has been filled with momversations. now its time for mine.
nubbins`: we're technically not sellouts until we get airplay on a station that isn't supported by tax dollars ;D
mircea_popescu: can i tell all the chicks i used to listen to dick surgery back before they were all commercialised crap ?
benkay: "hi b plz get k to call me i'd like to talk to her about something"
nubbins`: bit too racy for 10am on a sunday, i guess
nubbins`: heh apparently the cbc introduced our band as "D-something surgery"
ozbot: Why it’s tough being in an altcoin cartel | FT Alphaville
benkay: one day i'll be old too
benkay: or the massive corpus of ideas you have access to recombine on demand?
mircea_popescu: you knew that email klutz is klutzy
mircea_popescu: i know only talking to people who can run irc has worked ok for me these past coupla years.
AccountantPierre: true. Appreciate your thoughts. If people knew git they could do a pull request with their comment
mircea_popescu: nor, for that matter, bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: but the internet does not, nor does the brain.
mircea_popescu: the main focus should be much better integration. i can appreciate that a trained accountant wants to keep things well separate
benkay: best thing is this makes for no comments
mircea_popescu: may turn out to be an advantage. but anyway.
benkay: append to post.
AccountantPierre: I like that idea, the issue is the lack of distinct threads
mircea_popescu: "if you want to discuss our articles, click here"
benkay: o hey look i don't even need to make my own sexy acoutremont any more, thanks -assets
mircea_popescu: "There's no bigger joke than this mpex dude and his army of spamtroll donkeys." that's funny, because the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing a bunch of forum derps that he's running the largest shill stable in the world without having to actually pay a cent for it.
AccountantPierre: benkay: I'll get started on making one, I need it a lot as twenty something
mircea_popescu: which part is the timesink ?
benkay: gotta work that into the routine
AccountantPierre: I'll take that criticism, but we do have to allocate our time as best we can
mircea_popescu: moiety the idea of giving you a crown for fucking...
moiety: mircea_popescu: i thought that lol - the sign behind them says, "you are limited only by your imagination" errr and those chaps
mircea_popescu: (other than perhaps bad tech solutions, a la disqus)
mircea_popescu: generally speaking you have no better way to ruin a first impression on the web than unsourced material
mircea_popescu: AccountantPierre so then you know, say "Daniel drew it"
mircea_popescu: they couldn't pass the genuine article for free.
AccountantPierre: mircea_popescu: Daniel drew it. I'm thinking we'll phase out disqus and roll our own
mircea_popescu: can you picture a woman buying dildos from those two guys ?
asciilifeform: guess they didn't sell that well
moiety: hihi benkay, how goes today
benkay: put it on a pleasure throne, moiety
mircea_popescu: so to sum up, the piece suffers from the same problem illustrated by the opening cartoon : a mostly banal piece with very poor references. surely people outside of the mises circle must have written about these matters, perhaps for years.
mircea_popescu: it is an old saw, as benkay points out. that particular link references earlier reports provided by herbi who actually run the pinksheets and found the highest stock increase in the history of stock increases fails to come within one degree of magnitude of bitcoin's.
mircea_popescu: AccountantPierre also this is prolly of interest re the entire hyperinflation/demonetisaiton : http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=31-01-2014#468962 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: AccountantPierre who draw that cartoon ?
benkay: careful your tent doesn't get lit on fire by bfl shareholders
AccountantPierre: huh, didn't know they publish that. I'm a big tent kind of guy, I post in the foundation forums

AccountantPierre: I'm the treasurer over at the new Satoshi Nakamoto Institute. My colleague Daniel published a new piece today: http://nakamotoinstitute.org/mempool/hyperbitcoinization/ Interested to hear intelligent opinions/feedback
mircea_popescu: you can mostly just put it in the wash
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've often wondered if there is, somewhere, a literal 'money laundry' - for trips to Dubai, etc. where a nanogram of coke merits the firing squad
mircea_popescu: i aspire to have 365 pairs of socks
benkay: can't you tell by my rating?
ozbot: #bitcoin-assets rules and regulations pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
benkay: the20year2: "The market is the best instrument for both pricing assets and allocating capital that humans have stumbled upon so far."
benkay: "A braindamaged assumption is that on account of any sort of “qualifications” or simply on account of your existence you’re pretty cool and certainly equal to anyone else. "

mircea_popescu: and the two look like a sort of midwestern bouvard & pecuchet
asciilifeform: what's interesting is that the photo looks like it was taken at a tech trade show
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'pleasure throne' link from your 'twitter' seems to be a knock-off of the famous 'sybian' auto-wanker.

nubbins`: i shouted JESUS CHRIST and the nice customs man stomped it to a paste
nubbins`: all they found on me was a GIGANTIC SPIDER hidden in my hammock
mircea_popescu: see, this is why you train the entourage.
nubbins`: canada customs asked my travelling partner: "so how was the cocaine?"
nubbins`: she could just pluck the fish out and pass it thru
nubbins`: i mean if the guard wasn't such a dick he'd have a glass of secure water on the other side of the xray
