Bugpowdurr: I respect
the position of not wanting
to participate in epiphenomena, but
this attitude is exactly
the same as what Joe Phil Morgan
types use
to
talk
themselves out of making bitcoin investments. Or
Tren Griffin into
thinking
that alt-coins are where its really at.
mircea_popescu: yes dood, and some
twerps made a "brand" out of some youtube video.
Bugpowdurr: It went from 25
to 290 satoshi... I had 20M I bought low and sold at 50
to rebuy on a dip. Felt like I had been unfaithful and was punished.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: And
thousands of penny stocks have done
that before. It is why wops
that don't read are doomed
to repeat history, because Ponzi was a fucking Guinea.
mircea_popescu: and honestly, if i wanted fiddy grand out of a bunch of cali retards a) i wouldn't spend 80 grand
to get it and b) i wouldn't bother
this many people with
the nonsense.
mircea_popescu: they just change
the pow whenever
to inflate it all away.
mircea_popescu: in
this sense it makes zero difference
to count "halvings" and whatnot
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo doge basically runs a dump and dillute,
to extract five bux a head from
the starbucks crowd in santa monica
BingoBoingo: Doge just had a halving didn't it and it still
trades below ATC?
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the reason i put zero stock in whatever
the us folk get "pumped up" about is because
that's what
they do for
the sake of doing it.
they have nothing
to
talk about so
they
tell each other how excited
they are about random, unremarkable stuff.
Bugpowdurr: The enthusiasm level on
the street is palpable.
nubbins`: ooh, 'fi' looks gross in
this font
Bugpowdurr: doge is
the biggest winner in
that fiedl
Bugpowdurr: It has at its core,
the same driver of price as any other one of
these.
BingoBoingo: Bugpowdurr: Because defining is has continued longer
than any meme has in history.
Vexual: its
the only altcoin and it has a philosophy club
Bugpowdurr: Collective delusions cause price increases all
the
tim.
BingoBoingo: Bugpowdurr: x-bt.com is
the least scammy ATC exchange.
Bugpowdurr: I
think it could really appreciate in value and I could flip it for 10x
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: So far
the altcoin
trading isn't going bad.
mircea_popescu: it's just... he has not much better
to do with his
time anyway, so he keeps coming back.
Bugpowdurr: <mircea_popescu> in
the interval, he ran out of "investor's" money 3x Nothing personal. Just one of
the scammers
that hasn't been shut down yet.
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03
the plural of
the noun beauty. like a beauty,
two beauties.
mircea_popescu: and because since
they're all ugly and stupid, how are you
to even distinguish.
pankkake: I'd
think it's mostly because information flows faster. and
there's almost unlimited bandwidth
mircea_popescu: meanwhile
the us has had four "major" singer-songwriter chicks
this week
mircea_popescu: here's something
to consider : ancient china had FOUR beauties.
that's it. four.
benkay: goat on
the forum
today
mircea_popescu: "He had a 4.0 GPA in English (and English fluency-required) classes
throughout high school and college" < lol
nubbins`: that's because you're not supposed
to
take your cock out on
the bus ;(
pankkake: last
time I presented something in public, no one understood what my project was
mircea_popescu: pankkake you should prolly be doing
the altcoin conference.
pankkake: when's
the altcoin conference?
BingoBoingo: BitcoinPropagand:
Take some
time and read. Everyone expects everyone else
to
try for six months on
the reading anyways.
Bugpowdurr: Goat needs
to get his Lambo repo'ed and hauled off
to jail.
the20year1: taking guns from retailers in
teh US always has a negative effect on business. Men hate
to shop, by selling guns
they bring in men
BingoBoingo: BitcoinPropagand:
That
thread is an excellent exercise in separating soil from shit.
KRS-One: im not saying
they are doing well just
the fact
that iwas a big aquisition and
they didnt change
the brand
BingoBoingo: No, K-mart has been doomed since Rosanne
took its guns
KRS-One: try starting up a compnay with some new name
that you just pull out of your ass
KRS-One: point is, even
though
there are people who might not like
the brand, its well known.
KRS-One: yeah and
they didnt change
the kmart brand
kakobrekla: and with
that, im leaving cause its fukken late!
kakobrekla: yes,
time is arbitrary. i have been saying
this for years now.
KRS-One: A lot of money was involved with
that.
KRS-One: I'd have
to disagree with mircea_popescu. I mean look at K-Mart it was bought by sears and nobody liked K-Mart.
BingoBoingo: Sometime you suckers will abandon days and learn
to embrace living by
the hour
KRS-One: I still
think even
though
there are companies with bad reputations
that buying
the brand is still worthwhile and even adds
to
the balance sheet.
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Prolly cause I'm awake when
the Aussies are.
Vexual: of
the extra hydroxyls
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: I'm not an Aussie. Wallabee would be
too expensive
to fly out just for
that.
nubbins`: Z goes
to reading wallabee entrails
nubbins`: another upside
to X is
that Y goes
to Z
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Well another upside
to
the lotto is most of my losing
ticket I can know goes
to miseducating
the children.
BitcoinPropagand: nubbins` 1st you need
to have
the right message otherwise you will pass unnoticed
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Lotto has a longer lead
time until chance renders its verdict. I like
to savor
the
tension.
BingoBoingo: If I win
though, I'll probably add 50 BTC
to my holdings.
BingoBoingo: Well it was for
the little lotto so I have a 1 in 500,000 chance of winning.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: I made
the unluckiest bet of all. I bought a lottery
ticker with my vodka from
the Arab store.
mike_c: gratz bingo. make a bet
today. b-day bets are always lucky.
BingoBoingo: Thank you. I already had
the delicous birthday dinner. Roast beef
tongue.
KRS-One: Happy Birthday dude..not sure what
the whole
thing is on birthdays anyway..I passed
the last 3 without any fanfare.
mircea_popescu: mice have been
trying
to eat cheese for millenia. does
this mean cheese is a bank ?
KRS-One: Im not making an argument for
that really but i dig.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is not a mass venture.
this isn;'t
trying
to bring about
the next britney spears.
BingoBoingo: KRS-One: Unless you are fiat capitalized out of
the wazoo.
KRS-One: and
they've had a bad rep for years
KRS-One: so even
though mtgox has a negative reputation, most publications reference
them..is
that a bad
thing
to a new company
trying
to acquire
the brand?
BingoBoingo: I still have no answer
to my wondering if maybe Mark Gox has a
touch of Downs.
Duffer1: i
took
that
to mean something else...
nubbins`: at
this point
trading magic cards would add legitimacy
to
their operation
Duffer1: ohh i see like
trilema asset reports
mircea_popescu: not
that anyone seriously is
thinking of running
their business.
mircea_popescu: anyone seriously
thinking of running
their business would immediately rebrand.
