smickles: iz: i've only found issues with securities as liabilities and that it doesn't directly or easily support bitcoin

DeadWeasel_: i'm asking these questions, trying to motivate myself to learn to trade some bitcoin assets. i believe in this as crucial piece of the freedom triangle that is humanities future. also, I guess I'm greedy. I want more than I have.
Bugpowder_: I like to see that as the number of asks go down, the number of bids > 18 keeps going up. Organic bidding rather than impatient bidwalls

jurov: "As we move forward into a world ever-filling with computers and networks, the success of Bitcoin, much like the Internet itself, liset in the actions of the people who will continue to use it and promote it and to fight on its behalf in doing so. They may take our lives, but they can never take our Bitcoin."
smickles: heh, i used gnucash for this. it makes proper gaap statements as far as i can tell
smickles: so those other variables are limiting the amount, and as these options are bought the limiting factors are raised a little

thestringpuller: look at smickles bot go as the price moves XD
assbot: The eagle never lost so much time as when he submitted to learn from the crow.

Schadenfreude: though really, aslong as upto 80% of people's income are being taxed away under various pretenses, where that money goes to isn't that important
StarenseN: but as i can read, he's keen to do his actual business
mircea_popescu: as i always say, options mm-ing is the only business in the world where if you don't have customers you're depressed and if you do have them you're worried.
Bugpowder: and do market analysis and place a bunch as well
mircea_popescu: sure, as long as they're using the computer and _EVERYONE ELSE ALSO IS_ it "works".
mircea_popescu: (the 6k that doesn't go to shareholders in mpoe's case as cash is in fact going to them as security : unlike s.dice, s.mpoe can't make a loss)
mircea_popescu: in fact im pretty sure everyhing's right as it is.
jcpham: sounds like agood idea except i doubt he'd have you as a guest EskimoBob_afk
Namworld: Pretty much the same as me. Could have made 150%
mircea_popescu: it's not @ as in at, it's / as in shares/ltcs ?
mircea_popescu: held by LTC-ATF (which will always be at least as large as the number of
mircea_popescu: relevance to this pass-through will be the number of S-Dice shares listed as
mircea_popescu: course it will crowd in time, as people start grasping it
Namworld: I was making almost as much on GLBSE stocks volatility...

mircea_popescu: ok, that suit, same as which ?
kakobrekla: is that the same suit as in that camel/egypt pic

jurov: and i doubt such whale ops as today will be a rule
dub: and as we know, catholic school girls rule
smickles: (as much as I would love to just keep it)
mircea_popescu: this is about as much as mtgox.
smickles: also, one of the first bots i made may as well be open source
deadweasel: is there such thing as an open source bot for trading?
mircea_popescu: i guess it did not work as planned.
mod6: maybe so... but someday these $4-6 swings won't be as meaningful. think of the gold price, moves up and down sometimes $100 per day.
deadweasek: i'm clapping my hands as fast as i can
mircea_popescu: you mean install as in run the bot yourself on a vps ?

jurov: then as i read further.... O.o
Namworld: 25k for a good one. But you can get as low as $2000, but the girl might have a pronounced Adam's apple. I recommend not being a cheapskate.
dust-otc: i read it as "usagi-ing that shit" for a day
Namworld: As long as it's only past this moment...
mircea_popescu: basically wtf, i can't add option lines as fast as the market moves
mircea_popescu: on the other hand, btc it makes as profit is not retained but pumped back out, so it never chokes the market
Bugpowder: It was obvious short as soon as maps fucked up
mircea_popescu: it;s not. no asics in the history of bitcoin mining will be worth as much as that 1st batch
thestringpuller: using bitbet as insurance...
mircea_popescu: so hedging, as opposed to people just speculating with no skin in the game
gigavps: i sure as hell hope so
jcpham: see i understand bit-pay as a payment processor that acts in fiat
jcpham: gold is ancient as space and time itself almost
thestringpuller: gold is as old as the earth so it seems
mircea_popescu: seems therre's 3x as much fiat as coins
thestringpuller: BBET is more profitable to run bets on as a business than investing in the stock
mircea_popescu: "I work in fraud investigation and forensic accounting. People bring me crazy stories all the time. One such story was from a contractor who was hired to put in ventilation to a building for a bunch of servers. The owner later bragged about how he was stealing/counter fitting bitcoins and selling them. I have no idea how this all works but my advice is the same as Wulfar's, stay away from it"
mircea_popescu: neither as far as denigration goes, nor as far as deserved goes.
Namworld: As in, not wildly going around the forum like a rabid dog denigrating everything (regardless if deserved) and thus get visibility.
Namworld: As in, more traditional.

dub: mircea_popescu: well to onlookers such as myself thats exactly what it is
pigeons: mircea_popescu: people aren't so much criticizing you as trying to understand your thinking
midnightmagic: It *sounds* as though you discovered a hole in the logic of the case, in that there's no real way to determine judge and party collusion.
midnightmagic: "the judges ruled that anyone can take any ammount of money from mpex at any time at their option." <-- this is the same, logically, as A-> ? ->C. I'm just trying to find the progression.
mircea_popescu: im not even, midnightmagic is as usual late to the parties lol
mircea_popescu: so no. if anything, i went into the suit so as NOT to have to keep it.
mircea_popescu: a. no. i specifically went into the suit as an alternative to the "i simply keep it" rule in force.
midnightmagic: Aaaanyway, it's too bad you view it as a failure.
Korbman: but look at how the light reflects in on the furthest fan as well
