dignork: unrelated to btc
dignork: cerelenius this will be the case anyhow, nature laws...
cerelenius: both are different sides of the same coin

mjr_: you know that by your standards
cerelenius: it wont fail in the sense of going to zero
mjr_: and you come up with the same thing
mjr_: just take everything you say, change the word bitcoin to dollar
mjr_: you are talking about a 5X increase
cerelenius: price wise thats between 500-2500
mjr_: you cannot guarantee that
cerelenius: you can be guaranteed that
mjr_: if i want to sell my car
mjr_: since the whole point is moving past fiat
mjr_: but he doesn't want to
cerelenius: im talking about his business
mjr_: and they only settle using dollars "out of necessity"
mjr_: at no point have you ever shown me an example of how it is different to buy something with a dollar and a bitcoin
mjr_: i will sell my products for the amount of currency i want
mjr_: that is the problem
mjr_: you see a dog swimming, you think that dogs are aquatic creatures
mjr_: so it seems that it is possible
cerelenius: dignork: merchants are adopting bitpay/coinbase to tap into the btc liquidity and the free publicity they get, nobody is settling in btc outright
cerelenius: mircea is part of the fraud category lol
dignork: cerelenius i'm not a "cybercriminal" and for some transactions I settle for btc, problem?
KRS-One: there is also no control over this =/
cerelenius: krs-one: yea so they have some protection in place
cerelenius: dignork: im talking about nobody settles for anything other then fiat at the moment in btc, OTHER then those groups i outlined
mjr_: in other words they will autoliquidate you

mjr_: you do know they don't use dollars everywhere
Vexual: get off the couch cerel
mjr_: there is this thing called "international trade"
KRS-One: cerelenius: according to btc.sx faq: For each position opened, btc.sx will execute an open market order at over x10 the value of your deposit.
dignork: cerelenius in some countries you can't settle for USD, you have to go through exchange, so what?
mjr_: your argument for the dollar was its "necessity"
cerelenius: im not talking about your little nerd with 0.01 balance
cerelenius: not because they want to lol
cerelenius: and those that do do it from necessity
mjr_: the issues you bring up have nothing to do with bitcoin
cerelenius: dignork: enough for it to be used as settlement without having to go through shit like bitpay
mjr_: and that is what you don't get
mjr_: if it can, then it could keep doing so...
mjr_: could bitcoin become MORE liquid tomorrow
mjr_: since there must be one
mjr_: at what point will it cease being able to become more liquid
mjr_: or are you going to change what you said again
mjr_: you said that its state of liquidity is fixed
cerelenius: yea and in bitcoin they dont.
mjr_: funny how things change...
mjr_: or facebook, and now, they are MORE liquid
Vexual: yes, ive got some things here and im trying to decide
mjr_: like for example twitter shares were illiquid
mjr_: bitcoin is not limited to illiquidity
mjr_: you don't understand the diference between today's bitcoin and the inherent properties of bitcoin
mjr_: and get the product i wanted
mjr_: i pay with the currency i chose
mjr_: i could give two shits what happens between me paying bitcoin and getting the product i want
cerelenius: and then paying with usd
cerelenius: yes its no different then selling them at an exchange for usd
cerelenius: they dont accept btc they accept bitpay
Vexual: ah theres only one fuck this mad
mjr_: which tree do they meet up at?
cerelenius: its not nerds meeting up with pennys underneath a tree
mjr_: and you seem to think that time doesn't exist
cerelenius: only thing giving btc liquidity is cybercrime
mjr_: but you just said that you were talking about the way it is now
cerelenius: bitcoin is too illiquid to function as anything other then a speculative tool, in terms of money in only functions as such in cybercrime for example because there are NO alternatives.
mjr_: and that does function efficiently
mjr_: i can picture a market for bitcoin that is not ililquid
mjr_: but since i have the ability to picture other markets
mjr_: you are saying that because of POOR exchanges
cerelenius: lol 99% of the otc market is junk
cerelenius: yea its the junk market.
mjr_: so that means equities will never work
cerelenius: your prof tell you that?
mjr_: have you heard of this thing called the pink sheets
cerelenius: listen pal, every credit instrument in bitcoin will bust out sooner then later
mjr_: or else we just throw logic right out
mjr_: to things that i have seen happen
mjr_: because you keep using the word HAS TO and CAN and CANNOT and IMPOSSIBLE
cerelenius: your an idiot, bitcoins main issue is piss poor liquidity and overall tiny market
mjr_: i think that actually is why we disagree
mjr_: peaks and troughs
mjr_: like i said variance is too high
mjr_: that aren't the ways the rest of us use them
cerelenius: im talking about size
mjr_: you seem to use the word can and can't in strange ways
mjr_: sure they would
cerelenius: its too illiquid for anything else
