the berthing fees for a year and you've got yourself a deal

the looks of it i may end up buying someone a new yacht
mike_c: check
the manual, how do you withdraw from mpbor :D
pankkake: cbtc is supposed
to announce an acquisition
Namworld: They
take just about anything, but
they don't want Coinroll
Duffer1: i'm having
trouble believing
that havelock said a valuation was
too high
pankkake: > havelock says
too high valuation
Namworld: Then Havelock says Coinroll wants
too high a valuation.
Duffer1: they probably
think it's
the next satoshidice
nubbins`: Namworld: i don't
think so, no :(
nubbins`: I've lost count of how many
times people have confused my last name with "Reese"
Namworld: Can someone explain me why CBTC
trades for almost 200 months of profits?
nubbins`: Ray Russell Reese III,
that's a mouthful
pankkake: award
them
the Internet Lawyer Diploma
Duffer1: .."seized by
their issuer
to recover losses under lien. It's legal..."
ThickAsThieves: I'm gonna reply "See what happens when
there are
too many coin options?
This is why I invented Altcoin! "
pankkake: of course I can,
the more
the diff
the more
the inflate
mircea_popescu: nubbins` does he realise, i wonder,
that
the people in
thar restaurant are not his skin color, not his skin odour and not his education level ?
mircea_popescu: pankkake i doubt you can inflate enough
to keep up with
the doge ppl.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: does he realize, i wonder,
that
the
tables in
that restaurant are already all
taken?
nubbins`: "I
think
the dogecoiners protest
too much, and
that
they are in fact
the opposite of what
they claim. We shouldn't put up with it and I'm glad we have moderators who delete
those
threads."
mircea_popescu: if
this is in fact
the experience bitcoin delivers i have won.
mircea_popescu: eally good food and
the waiters are only being nice
to and serving
their friends and
the regular customers. If you've never eaten
there,
they wont even seat you. Basically ensuring
that new customers never come back, and I promise you,
there is a lot of money out
there
that never got
to buy bitcoin because of
these assholes.
mircea_popescu: They are only assholes
to new people, not people
that know all about bitcoin. My first experience with bitcoin users was asking
them how do I buy it.
The answers I got was "its so easy! How do you not know? You are stupid, its so simple" And lets not forget my favorite one..."If you don't know how
to buy it, you shouldn't be buying it" For a new person
to crypto, its basically like going into a restaurant with really r
☟︎ nubbins`: general consensus is
that btc isn't fun enough
nubbins`: Does anyone not see
the contradiction in
this behavior?
The louder and more strident
these proclamations become,
the more
they demonstrate
the opposite of
their claims.
nubbins`: It's almost a regular occurrence now where a dogecoin proponent will make a post here proclaiming his or her disgust at how
terrible a community we are, how we're all a bunch of greedy jerks, and
that we're not as friendly as helpful and all-around-amazing as dogecoiners.
nubbins`: mp, my grin is so wide
that it squeezes my
tear ducts shut.
nubbins`: dogecoin would make me weep, were it not for
the endless lels
mircea_popescu: which fucks up and
they deny and so on and on. it's pretty much one group of idiots.
mircea_popescu: basically... it's strateman fucking up bitcoinica and
tux fucking up mtgox
dub: s/every aspect/the same
tardcircle
mircea_popescu: nubbins`
the relationship is inverse. bitcoin is backed by fail and drama. and butthurt.
nubbins`: it's amazing
that bitcoin caught on at all with
the amount of fail permeating every aspect of it
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves anyway, if it makes you feel any better, burnside's "buyer" was more fluff
than anything.
ThickAsThieves: "My only advice is
to buy some of
these shares at 0.0005"
ThickAsThieves: or is
this just another "we" as in being a part of something
ThickAsThieves: "Just
to clarify - Ken is regaining ACtM monies not his personal BTC.
The 106BTC has been
taken off our balance sheet"

the
test of
time

the deep

totally fabricated personal info
nubbins`: "will
trade life preserver for large bag of cereal or nvidia graphics card"
nubbins`: i'm amazed both at how much lint was in
there, as well as my failure
to remove it before driving all around
the city and waiting on hold for 20 minutes
mircea_popescu: actually i guess
there's
two clear sets of female made-up names :
the stripper
type and
the customer service rep
type
mircea_popescu: imagine if
the original inglebert humperdinck was
trying
to get hired.
mircea_popescu: "o hey valua... wanna go for drnks ? i'll buy you all
the khalua you can put away"
nubbins`: i started
to suspect i was being had
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: srsly, Sierra
transferred me
to Allegra
mircea_popescu: they're not even
trying anymore, naming
these is like namig cars.
Dimsler__: and you are
the romanian John Smith
mircea_popescu: burnside knows better
than anyone, he's an ex car mechanic or w/e, so it's
to be understood.
Dimsler__: majority of
the younger bitcoin nerds have no idea about financials
nubbins`: i just cleaned a massive amount of impacted lint out of
the jack
Dimsler__: i've lived
through
the NY /
TSX boiler rooms, can easily spot all of
them
ThickAsThieves: BTCT had a buyer, and I emphatically
told Burnsy
TAKE
THE MONEY NOW
mircea_popescu: in
the end, same story as
their mother : -50% in half a year.
mircea_popescu: <Dimsler__> cause btct was
the only legit one <<< so
they said.
mike_c: they have
to keep
that in
the code for when
they sell it
ThickAsThieves: so legit
that I had
the only security on BTCT with a 0 score
Duffer1: it was so legit it got shut down before
the other
ThickAsThieves: basically, BTC going
to 1000, combined with BTCT and BF dying, killed a lot of
the market
mike_c: yeah, but seems
there is value
to managing
the index fund instead of having
to do it yourself.
ThickAsThieves: but
then I dont actually have supply of shares
to share
mike_c: index fund. i like
that idea in general.
mike_c: i guess
the volume is so small it's not even worth
the headache.
pankkake: at
the
time
there were many passthroughs elsewhere?
