asciilifeform: ( i read ' mehmet, alt-murat, and aht-mehmet '
asciilifeform: waitasec -- where does alt-murat come in
asciilifeform: let the idiots do what they are good at -- being meat
asciilifeform: if that means a 500k-usd btc, what's the problem ?
asciilifeform: q was whether less-losable btc 'floats all boats' or not.
asciilifeform: that redditus is dumb-as-rock is beyond dispute
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ~everything~ goes better with reasonable-expectations.
asciilifeform: and at the very least help to kill the various goxes, which thrive on 'i have 100k $usd to buy btc, but not the 500k to keep team of nonwinblowz experts around to refrigerate the btc'
asciilifeform: getting the pb out of the water won't, naturally, wholly cure stupidity. but still worth doing.
asciilifeform: sane wallet would go some way to curing this condition.
asciilifeform: one of the fuels of welfarism is the 0 experience typical d00d has with money-that-dun-evaporate-by-itself
asciilifeform: but not as productive as not-losing, because disincentivises repeat shots
asciilifeform: as i see it, redditus buying ( or better, TUPW-ing ) some btc and then throwing his key into /dev/null, is ~also~ a productive-use-of-bitcoin
asciilifeform: i dun see how anyone might think that it would
asciilifeform: well yes. but how does it help ~us~ that redditus things 'i'd buy some btc but it'll evaporate off my box anyway because no sane wallet'
asciilifeform: i dun immediately see how it connects
asciilifeform: phunphakt -- private small-aviation still 100% tetraethylpb powered
asciilifeform: upstack -- pb is a cumulative poison. the tetraethyl pb in petrol was , quite possibly , a collective 'few points iq' drop for all of europe.
asciilifeform: this is no longer so, and i suspect that the last 200yr turtle has already died.
asciilifeform: historically background of the seawater was quite low (vs land)
asciilifeform: ( nor does man live the 200 yrs where background radiation would be the obvious explanation for all of his ills )
asciilifeform: re freebsd -- it was almost a dream, i dum recall even once having the now-daily 'this was made by tards, and they Must Die' feel from it
asciilifeform: after that - monopoly, full bore microshitism
asciilifeform: flip off switch, and it is same as it came from factory.
asciilifeform: re the trezor nonsense -- it's the , what' 8th year of btc, and still nobody made the obvious sanewallet - txmaker runs from rom, and eats privkey when-required via paper tape
asciilifeform tentatively impressed, looks fwd to taste
asciilifeform: but noshit this little distillery ( i saw the pot, it ain't much bigger than the ones featured in meth arrest photos ) serves only the nowhere town in which it lives.
asciilifeform: yea i have lathe chuck cleaner better than...
