ThickAsThieves: he posts about
the bet and elaborates, and people still
think it's erik...
Mats_cd03: i feel
thats a missed pr opportunity
Mats_cd03: i didnt realize until i read
the
trilema post
that
the brk-a bet originated from mp
ThickAsThieves: "Hence why
the bet is in bitcoins - zero risk for
the better and something only an idiot would participate in. I'm sure buffet's seen
this one before but most of
the morons on
this subreddit have not."
ThickAsThieves: i'm offended
that erik's reddit
thread on
the bet gets more shine
than mine :(
ThickAsThieves: after
that pumper was here
this morning claming CBTC would double in value,
they issue a report saying
they lost money
Mats_cd03: and occasionally having your wages garnished by
things like
the brk-a bet or slot machines because youre
too stubborn
to understand probabilities
ThickAsThieves: "No - arithmetic error in
the calculation. Fixed -
thanks for point it out!"
ThickAsThieves: Is it caused by
the acquisition of bit777 etc. or is
this a mistake?"
ThickAsThieves: "Agreed. Looks good. But what I don't get is
the huge jump
to 41,734.95 in
total earned BTC.
Mats_cd03: its context dependent and if you cant handle high school probability you will be ignored by
the universe
ThickAsThieves: sure i
think btc will win! but dat odds! i'm willing
to
throw .001 against
that!
ThickAsThieves: a great phenomenon of
this bet, is people
thinking like him
Mats_cd03: dont grace
that with a response, he cant be so dumb as
to share a simplistic
thought like
that
ThickAsThieves: you'd want
to bet both sides while
the weight is in your favor
ThickAsThieves: however, if you feel
the large bet is correct, like in
this case of
this BRK one
ThickAsThieves: obviously
there is more
to gain, but you can still lose 100%
Mats_cd03: why dont you make a small wager against every large bet
then
sheldonthomas: Isn't it advantageous
to make small bets against large ones on bitbet, since regardless of what you believe
the odds are, you are splitting a larger winning pool from
the other side

mircea_popescu: sheldonthomas
trying
to decide if you should
trust yourself ?
mircea_popescu: what's more,
they're stupid in
their own private personal ways, which differ from hers, even should she "feel" it's not fair
that should be
the case.
mircea_popescu: dude how come every single obnoxious bitch out
there imagines she's entitled
to misrepresent her broken mental processes as "a problem of women everywhere" ?
mircea_popescu: ” Despite its generally female-friendly environment, Horvath claims
that she had “a really hard
time getting used
to
the culture,
the aggressive communication on pull requests and how little
the men [she] worked with respected and valued [her] opinion.”

copumpkin: omg you participate in
that program
too?
mircea_popescu: has it been started 2 weeks ago
through lying on a common bank application, all constructed on
the basis of some material a website mailed you ?
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: I know what. I have
this LLC I use for money laundering and it's super profitable. If you pay me 10k btc, I'll let you list it on your exchange.
mircea_popescu: so guise, we need
to sit
together and come up with a strategy
to attract more dudes who don't know who
they are but suspect it may be ceo in
this
thing of ours.
copumpkin: never mind
that nobody uses either of
them, at least he can use
them
Apocalyptic: "decentralized exchange" // I guess
this guy has it all
chetty: its
the modern form of
the gentlemans club :P
datz_: ok darn so IRC is
too cheeky and suspicious
to let me list here. don't say i didn't offer you
the opportunity. will just have
to stick with my own decentralized exchange :)
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: not sure if you're being sarcastic, but I actually do
think it's a pretty great
thing
mircea_popescu: copumpkin i guess it's kinda difficult for outsiders
to realise just how deep, powerful and far reaching irc is.
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: please allow me
to fellate you
mircea_popescu: im getting carpal over here just downloading all
these cookies.
mircea_popescu: and now for
the hardest
task of all :
to attend
to my 173 messages inbox, which so far all consist of "hey you're so cool!"
copumpkin: so I never
talk
to people in person anymore
datz_: why i don't use IRC or have
trust here
copumpkin: hey,
this guy I spoke
to once pickpocketed me
datz_: so i don;t
trust people on IRC
copumpkin: I've built my own chat programs but nobody is on
them :P
copumpkin: datz_: IRC isn't about
the platform, it's about who you find on it
datz_: we have
two exchanges, a betting platform, an insurance platform, an investment platform, a credit and wallet platform, a chat platform - all in one
mircea_popescu: datz_
thats nice, but listing is purely a fiduciary exercise. you have
to be
trusted, for which you have
to be known. so you know, spend a year reading
the logs.
datz_: we have 5 additional people we need
to hire
datz_: we want
to pay homage and do a funding round on MPEX
LordPutin: thatpoor guy is going
to loose 1000 btc :/
matthew_boyd: mircea_popescu: did you put a 1000 btc bet
that Bitcoin would be worth more
than Bershire?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] [PAID] 2.30790962 BTC
to 3`901 shares, 59162 satoshi per share
mircea_popescu: i
thought he won't bet because all he had was a 25 bitcent share.
mircea_popescu: s just... worst fucking
thing you can do in memory of someone who died
jurov: ThickAsThieves: i hope
that's not related
to
teh bitbet :P
TomServo: mircea_popescu: so if someone dies
this year, you back in? :D
mircea_popescu: "Holy moly - someone bet 1000 xbt. Is
that you, Roger?"
mircea_popescu: it's just... once
they made it safer it became whatever.
mircea_popescu: TomServo hey, what can i
tell you. it's not
that i didn't like it because
they made safer
jurov: The exp
tends
to fall
to most inconvenient
times
jurov: And sorry for all coinbr X.EUR holders, y'all will be sorted out
tonight
TomServo: mircea_popescu: I don't see
the harm in making it a bit safer,
the danger is still present
