Bowjob: they will be exposed as a scam
mircea_popescu: this doesn't count as worth the mention to me.
mircea_popescu: much like a gun will shoot at a child, puppy, policeman or president as well as it will shoot at a bank robber, rapist etc
mircea_popescu: so as a measure of safety, you fuck him and he fucks her
Bowjob: "^I confirm this as the escrow. Apparently OP copied the wrong address for me from the firstbits system.."
ThickAsThieves: I would like to be able to use millicoins and microcoins. I know the system can handle it down to 1/100 of a microcoin; please make it possible in the interface as well."
ThickAsThieves: Bitcoin has appreciated like crazy, and as described, I predict it will continue to do so. There are already eight decimal places in the system. Please make it possible to use milli- and microbitcoins as soon as possible; bitcoin will continue to climb like crazy and may even accelerate. A currency where the smallest unit can buy you a small house is not practical for everyday use.
Bugpowder: I wonder if we will se resistance as we approach 100, or acceleration
pizzaman1337: What I did was make put options, sold them, bought the same amount back cheaper, and now I have "locked in" profit. But, the btc are still deposited as surety.
mircea_popescu: you put up the collateral for an option, you've paid the fare, now you can buy/sell it as many times as you want.
mircea_popescu: make a cat petshop as a side business
mircea_popescu: so, romania is a fucking backwater. the people here were mentally retarded as recently as 20 years ago.
thestrin1puller: mircea_popescu: i followed bugpowders bet as an experiment
Bugpowder: "securitization of gold has killed it as an ayn rand end-game currency"
mircea_popescu: <Bugpowder> but he is half blind << i still think he's trying the "i am king of the world you must play my little debate games on my terms for me to understand the world or else it won't be understood by one such as me to its detriment" sillyness
mircea_popescu: as in, selling access to spammers. they're not the antispam industry, they're the spam apportioning industry.
Bugpowder: The complete account contents are available as a gpg encrypted file
MJR_: as the price drops when others pursue strategy 1
KRS-1: I have a preorder as a money transfer request to BFL's bank..looks like it has a preorder number on it, but never sent the transfer..they say it will hold my position though...I wonder.
bgupta: The problem as I see it is that if someone wants to get in on btc without too much work, they have three choices 1) buy btc 2) buy mining gear 3) buy mining stocks. As long as AM is leading the metrics, it will carry a premium and be a go to investment, since modern mining gear that will last more than a month or so, can't really be easily had.
gribble: Error: Spurious "]". You may want to quote your arguments with double quotes in order to prevent extra brackets from being evaluated as nested commands.
jurov: deadweasel: coinbr doesn't offer own options. what you see on New order should be the saem order book as on mpex
deadweasel: so these c750 options. their original price is set by mpex. as the expiry approaches and BTCUSD goes up, the cost of one option increases?
MJR_: Bugpowder: i read that as bt closer
ThickAsThieves: "First week's normal dividends paid. The balance payment of the next batch, as well as the premium for a full-mask to guarantee our quantity production (200 TH/s or more, depending on how well BTC/USD could do) within the next three months, are partly taken from this week's revenue and the next week's. So the dividends within these two weeks are lower than normal."
jurov: that would be best done as redirect straight to satoshi dice
smickles: thestrin1puller: the ;;seen me's are starting to get confusing. Do you use it as some kind of market indicator? ;D
Diablo-D3: and I say that as a white guy
jurov: anyway... these are the gypsies you tell as "don't know what the work mean"
jurov: as opposed to me. ic.
jurov: mpex is as removed from fiat as possible.. together with sdice
jurov: SR doesn't exist as an investment
MJR_: as more people switch to this alternate economy
jurov: don't lol. they can indeed launder some of the bitcoins disguised as t-shirt operation
Bugpowder: tiberiusiv: what do you see as the right investment / speculative play in the btc space right now?
jurov: as happened to many enterprises already
deadweasel: tiberiusiv: i would tend to agree, as I believe this is the ceiling for the day.
Namworld: in some businesses such as: www.satoshidice.com - www.bitcoinpride.com - www.bitvps.com and more
MJR_: not sure, but i think so...i exercised from my cell phone as i was walking into a meeting
Chaang-Noi: he just kept adding to his army as he beat other ones, sooner or later the other guys just sureendered
saulimus: I'm afraid to buy as well
Namworld: Bowjob is all-in bullish as far as I know.
bgupta: they wouldn't have had to sell off much to act as market makers..
bgupta: I suspected that as the price went up they would slowly move some of their holdings into fiat, to be able to buy on any major pullbacks.. (That's what I would do if I was a creator of this currency.)
bgupta: so I had a theory back in the day.. that there are a large amount of coins held by a handful of folks who are acting as guardians of the btc economy…
Bowjob: I just told him cancel his BFL orders, they seem scammy as fuck
Chaang-Noi: im not trying to make money off of gold and silver, im using it as a protection from inflation or other crazyness like ww3
mircea_popescu: anyway, you can prolly talk to a broker pay whatever they charge as a % fee
dub: its simpler to think of it like this: Some people use linux as a tool to accomplish their work, som use it because they are tools who don't have a job.
MJR_: but debian is usually as upstream as you can get
Azelphur: I didn't hear this, this makes me sad, especially as I'm currently wearing my Ubuntu tshirt
Bugpowder__: I express all my investments as shares in a 'fund'
jborkl: so your argument for bitcoin is wrong - as you just stated
Diablo-D3: [05:48:50] <tiberiusiv> bernanke can only create dollars as long as the treasury market lets him.

dub: as are european ones
taub: black as my soul :)
jurov: that's as much facelift as we'll ever get
jurov: cylta, there's also coinbr.com, almost as good as having mpex acct directly
KRS1: I bet its safe to say bugpowder has lost a coin or two as he was learning..
cylta: jborkl: as I know, you can't sell it
deadweasel: ok, the more important part is how many of the SR users turn to BTC as a whole, whether it be speculation, assets, whatever.
mircea_popescu: lethal ods are really about as frequent as septicemia
saulimus: I'd say taken down as well
ZedsterX: but i am reading as we speak
Bugpowder: there is no such thing as a fake wall
KRS1: figured..as i've noticed you seem to give pretty reasonable information
KRS1: crash but rebound of course, cyclic as markets are
mircea_popescu: as far as we know it's dead.
mircea_popescu: thing is, as high volatility days turn into weeks
mircea_popescu: as there's been a lot lately
dub: yeah its scammy as fuck
Namworld: we're basically raising at about the same speed as before the crash
Namworld: asks are almost just as thin
Chaang-Noi: well, if he can sell it might as well eh?
Namworld: But as long as in fiat it increases instead, it's not a complete loss.
Namworld: as long as people spend it...
Namworld: Well it's ridiculous as far as I care.
Namworld: You know there's at least as much USD as the bids.
Bowjob: you spelled it as photochop
Bowjob: the last 3 are the same person trying to pretend as 3 people
mircea_popescu: just as long as you won't end up fired or something
ChaangNoi: as long as there is concent why do you care?
tiberiusiv: using btc is no different then using anything as money
ChaangNoi: you know.. using btc might be thought of as a crime... maybe mp is a crimanal too, after all did he register his exchange? bow down to the govt, lulz
mircea_popescu: can do as many as you please.
tiberiusiv: chaangnoi: i dont care what others do with their $, both sdice and all the mp assets are shady as hell by anyone with 2 IQ points.
ChaangNoi: .75 seems to be the new AM pt price as a high
mircea_popescu: just as soon as your corp reaches 50mn dollars valuation there's people with nothing in their pocket telling you how your capitalist way are scamming the world
mircea_popescu: there's clear statements made as to plans, they've been followed, etc.
mircea_popescu: and it is all as it should be : you aren't the ones in power for a very good reason.
tiberiusiv: mp: id expect you to defend him since your own operations are beyond shady as well.
ChaangNoi: his goal was to get the money to make the stuff, he has it, he could care less about the share price as he will no longer sell shares
ChaangNoi: it is susspected nefario took some of the shares and claimed them as his own,
mircea_popescu: yeah but as i said above, "<mircea_popescu> toffoo yea well, i wouldn't borrow mystical "asciminer" shares. i'd borrow actual tradeable instruments."
mircea_popescu: the 19th, 2012, or at his preference pay their value calculated as the average
mircea_popescu: well as a rule of thumb, if loaning them isn't a good idea selling them usually is a good idea.
mircea_popescu: toffoo he made a fool of himself, as in, went all tough into offering them but then failed to actually go through.
mircea_popescu: "The other factor, of course, is that Bitcoin can't be manipulated as easily as gold and silver obviously are. "
Bowjob: as usual
