mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 i kinda left it unreferenced fishing for noobs
tbh. i'm kinda hoping
the average clueless yet opinionanted keyboard warrior may pick on it
to
try and "mock" me.
mircea_popescu: i suppose we'll see another anil dash-esque butthurt explosion followed by
trying
to date me
Dimsler_: half
that
territory was polish
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 on a long enough
timeline everyone's getting slapped down properly.
Mats_cd03: and
they've been properly slapped down
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 wasn't it a khanate originally ?
that's EXACTLY what
they did.
kakobrekla: >@teddy @Xapo we've entrusted
them with a shit-ton of BTC...so have other big institutional funds...its a good sign.
Dimsler_: using your bs coin
terms sovereignity
Mats_cd03: its
the functional equivalent of macao, singapore,
taiwan, hong kong, or scotland deciding, lets organize militias and be rowdy
Mats_cd03: crimea was an autonomous republic, not a sovereign
territory with its own government
Dimsler_: because its
the same bs on
the news like always
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete anyway, if you know
the chap, perhaps drop him a link. as usual,
the clearing of bs starts with
teh self.
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu i sequenced
those poorly, first was a document by
taleb & co., second was a random quote
Dimsler_: just like 1/2 belong
to poland
mircea_popescu: course we know why exactly
the us cares
too, at
that level.
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03
that explains why
the russians care, which was quite clear.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete
talking about "bunch of amateur hour buyllshit in
the bitcoin """ecosystem"""" in a pdf file ?
Dimsler_: is
that its not a real country
Mats_cd03: mircea_popescu: good
timing, i just finished brewing coffee
Mats_cd03: CheckDavid: have you considered enrolling in an intro accounting course? i
think it would benefit you
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete whats not clear is who chamath is and why does he get
to say
this.
ozbot: The bezzle-USD and
the
tide-USD pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
bitcoinpete: Chamath is spot on here: "We’ve got
to flush out all
the has-beens and also-rans.
There’s a bunch of amateur hour bullshit in
the bitcoin ecosystem.”
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu benkay and artifexd were generous enough
to lend me a few satoshis a week ago, which i duly repaid with interest
today so as
to learn
that variety speak :D
CheckDavid: mircea_popescu: can u give me a car pliz? And a 3d printer
tnx
CheckDavid: I very much appreciate
the stock
tip kind sir
CheckDavid: Do you intend
to say one should always short women?
mircea_popescu: her
tits will always point downwards on
the long run, no matter what she wears.
CheckDavid: You are a very
traditional business guy.
mircea_popescu: no. a loan has no relation
to
the business performance, a loan is predicated on
the credibility of
the underwriter.
CheckDavid: Or would it have
to be a personal loan in some way as well?
CheckDavid: Can
this loan depend on
the business performance alone?
mircea_popescu: you can either
take investment, which is a distribution of equity no matter how you disgusie it, from bfl-style
to any other style,
chetty: Crossword puzzles in a local Venezuelan newspaper are calling readers
to violent protests with conspiratorial messages,
the country’s information minister said
today.
CheckDavid: I see. So your
take is
that equity must be allocated
to
the investors right?
mircea_popescu: there's business and
then
there's nonsense. i'm sure some kids somewhere are playing with money, but
that has no bearing on business.
Duffer1: do you have a product capable of attracting
that kind of funding?
CheckDavid: Crowd funding is one way people have used
to fund without equity distribution
CheckDavid: Someone made me consist ways
to fund without equity dilution
Duffer1: you don't necessarily need a platform for
that, unless you wanted your investors
to be able
to exchange quickly
CheckDavid: I see. But also a model on what
to give in return for funding
CheckDavid: mircea_popescu: yes correct. But
then one also needs a framework/platform
to market my
trust
ozbot: La firma pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: listen,
the larger part of raising funds is
the
trust you command.
mircea_popescu: CheckDavid yeah but meanwhile my q was answered reading
the log.
CheckDavid: 3:53:57 AM mircea_popescu CheckDavid what start-ups specifically. <- you mean
to ask which startup specifically I was considering fundraising for?
Duffer1: "In 1.5 months of marketing we grew our Facebook page
to 9,500 likes with an average unboosted reach of 2,300 people per post"
Duffer1: haven't seen a scam like
that before
mircea_popescu: bocobit i read a study
that 80% of studies are pure bullshit.
MisterE: lots of blood on
the floor over on BTCe lol
MisterE: but kakobrekla does come down on em like a
ton of bricks lol
chetty: MisterE, most public forums are about
the same
MisterE: never really read bitcointalk, learned from bloggers and
trusted articles or reading / asking questions on irc.
MisterE: The asshattery with
this forum is strong!
MisterE: states run by fscking insurance adjustors who have politicians in
their pockets
MisterE: this is
the kind of people
that nanny states produce
chetty: that argument has been going on forever, a good example of
the failure of personal responsibility
jurov: oh i overlooked
the
tweet
jurov: and
there's where comaprison with NYSE falls short, NYSE can get
to court (in worst case)
to force misbehaving
traders in
the line
jurov: such as,
traders can claim "no i dispute
this
trade, wont sign" when market moves unfavorably
jurov: bitcoinpete
that oleganza's blog is
theoretically nice
chetty: bocobit, got a link
to
that study?
bocobit: or maybe even more powerful, what makes
the 80%
bocobit: and what constitutes independent
thought, what are
the parameters
bocobit: which makes you
think, am i part of
that 20%
bocobit: i read a study
that says only 20% of people are capable of independent
thought
cazalla: i enjoy your articles bitcoinpete, easier read
than
trilema (for me)
bitcoinpete: you ever lived anywhere else? or
traveled much at all?
drkow: it's
too damn cold
drkow: oh I'm between
toronto/montreal
VanCleef: if you make a new bet and send funds
to fund
the bet but it doesn't get approved will you get your coin back?
