Apocalyptic: or was until 0.9 anyway, Gavin claims to have fixed it
Mats_cd03: if someone hosts the so-called bitcoin educational page, ill help populate it with materials

Apocalyptic: seems they just played the "we got haxxed" part
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, remember the tards from http://trilema.com/2014/robert-keith-cristopher-jr-matt-sartain-kristian-thomson-cryptorush-much-comedy-lulzgoldmine/ ?
benkay: and you also didn't tabulate and chart your claim, but that's neither here nor there.
benkay: Neil: you neglected to mention that his odds are much longer than the house odds
mircea_popescu: artifexd i suppose that's the one thing that has never happened yet.
benkay: Neil: why not reignite the discussion?
gribble: smickles was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 17 weeks, 4 days, 17 hours, 41 minutes, and 37 seconds ago: <smickles> wtf bet on the price rising rather than buying more or buying an option (or similar)
benkay: comedy is when the bad guy dies
VanCleef: youknow whats funny about kanyewest his mom died from plastic surgery that he paid for lol

assbot: Last trade for S.MPOE on MPEX was at 0.00094739 BTC [-]
VanCleef: anyone know goats address i'd like to send him a bucket of sperm
asciilifeform: if he were to demand his pay in something like money (even banked, electronic money, with all applicable tax paid) he might 'begin to have problems.'
asciilifeform: actually i can readily believe that exactly this would happen to, say, an executive salaried $1M
asciilifeform: once again, i can't say that this scenario is impossible. just that it includes an extraordinary level of 'personal attention' from bureaucrats who would normally rather play tetris
mircea_popescu: what are you, from the 60s ?
mircea_popescu: third parties can also shoot you and bury you in the river.
asciilifeform: so the fellow who is to fire you may not even know if you use 401k
asciilifeform: not that this situation is impossible - but most large co.s have a third party run their chumpatronics
benkay: thereby collecting the insurance policy he took out on you.
mircea_popescu: you may actually force him over a threshold, with results so far out of proportion he might as well just shoot you and bury you in hudson river.
mircea_popescu: if he plans his budget, and you upset the planning,
mircea_popescu: the matching gives him a tax break.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the one who opts out is more expensive to him.
asciilifeform: if it's a corp that 'matches' 401k, and avaricious boss, he ought to fire the more expensive fellow (the one who opts in) ?
mircea_popescu: suppose someone has to be let go.
mircea_popescu: suppose the yearly review mentions this point.
ThickAsThieves: so much so that your family advocates it endlessly too
mircea_popescu: suppose you're the only one who doesn't.
ThickAsThieves: it's shoved down your throat at least
asciilifeform: one can still decide on the degree to which to play the chumpatron. no one is forced to buy 401k, yet.
mircea_popescu: lol. someone should point out to the sperm seller the precedent re paying for child support.
asciilifeform: ok in that sense it is very true
mircea_popescu: so no, participation in the us chumpatron is voluntary in the sense participation in the communist party was voluntary.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform very theoretically. in the sense you're theoretically welcome to shoot the president.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, but contractors aren't physical persons, they're legal persons, and that rule does exist.
asciilifeform: you are theoretically welcome to keep your pay in gold, or cement, so long as the tax was paid
mircea_popescu: pending you prove that you have a "legitimate reason" and in any case you face prosecution under the "trying to avoid prosecution for using your own money" laws.
asciilifeform: but there isn't an official 'humans must keep cash in a bank' rule atm.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves the fuss will be that on the third time yo udo it your house will be confiscated,
asciilifeform: that last part, is, afaik, true
mircea_popescu: and keep it at home, i'll be in violation of the "corps must keep their funds i na bank" rule.
mircea_popescu: if i hire someone to go take money out every day for a year, 300 bucks at a time,
mircea_popescu: they then proceed me to tell me that they can pay some, but can't tell me how much.
mircea_popescu: they tell me they can;t.
mircea_popescu: i order them to pay me 10k.
mircea_popescu: they tell me they can't.
mircea_popescu: i go to bank, order them to pay me 100k.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so then what part of "not allowed" don't you follow ?
ThickAsThieves: yes the $xxxx thing is a real throttle
benkay: another cuh-ray-zee aspect of the bezzle is the plastic rewards thing that makes cash more expensive.
asciilifeform: since when? every bank i ever used let you take it out. granted, if you take more than $xxxx in one day, the anti-terrorism folks get a phone call.
ThickAsThieves: i missed something, why can't someone withdraw their money?
mircea_popescu: on the other hand because you're not rlegally allowed to make withdrawals.
mircea_popescu: on one hand because you are legally required to keep your money in the bank
mircea_popescu: and you can't take the cash out.
mircea_popescu: and that will be deposited in your bank account
asciilifeform: in u.s. you can usually become 'contractor' and get your pay in whole, then you are required to pay the tax collectors manually
mircea_popescu: you can't instruct them to pay you in cash.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but yes they do. suppose you work for company x.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 401k-dollar and the cocaine-stained-dollar << nobody forces people to jump in chumpatron
