mircea_popescu: kahn didn't have
the sense
to enforce his immunity, but
then again he was in fiat, and fiat is dumb.
pankkake: so Bitcoin Ambassador is much better
than Bitcoin Jesus
kakobrekla: you would get busted on
the border and sent
to jail anyway
mircea_popescu: (not
that i'd fly
to
the us without a handwritten note from
the president saying
that any usg personnel coming within five feet on me is
to be shot on
the spot)
ThickAsThieves: mp
takes
the stand "Bitcoin doesn't give a fuck what you
think. [drops mic]"
libbelol: btw, does anyone here know who
the guy on
the left was? Didnt get his name
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves because i actually
think what
they do is a waste of
time.
mircea_popescu: anyway, someone should ask
the various
twerps "considering" bitcoin regulatory nonsense whether
they've ever been on -assets and if not what
their excuse is.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` yeah, someone'd have
to care before
they/d buy one.
nubbins`: after a certain point it's just crass
to mock
mircea_popescu: wait, i said something nice re
teh scamdation sometime ?
nubbins`: i'd like
to do a run of shirts mocking
the foundation but
there's almost no point
dub: "This morning
the bitcoin foundation was dissolved as
the joke became apparent
to its last remaining shills" <- was waiting for
this one
mircea_popescu: jesus paid for shit much like black slaves wore chains. it's only
the latter day dorks going "this guy used
to have it rough give us hashmoney"
nubbins`: he had +10 ratings across
the board
nubbins`: eh, jesus was likely blazed on hashish when kicking
the money-lenders out of
the
temple
ThickAsThieves: "This morning, Charlie Shrem, Vice Chairman, submitted his resignation
to
the Board of Directors of
the Bitcoin Foundation, effective immediately."
mircea_popescu: drugs only exist as a post-victorian construct, much like "children" in
the sense of little angels
that don't enjoy
the c0k
nubbins`: drug dealing is
the original WoT
nubbins`: pankkake: you have
to be referred by a
trusted customer
to get bicycle delivery
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: joke's on me -- p owns all
the btc
punkman: pankkake, Nefario wanted
to do decentralized shipping
pankkake: I hope so. any decentralized shipping would annoy
the hell out of
the power
that be
nubbins`: "A kitchen sink, a wet noodle, some nesting birds, a dead
tapeworm,
that's your NFL picks. " haha
nubbins`: at least until
the cops in any given jurisdiction get up
to speed on it
ThickAsThieves: he's wondering if anyone is
trying
to open a bitcoin bank
nubbins`: pankkake,
this will srsly be a big
thing
nubbins`: it's my birthday on
thursday, i
think she was going for
the element of surprise
nubbins`: i just gave her my pw and pretended
to give myself amnesia ;(
nubbins`: she comes downstairs, "i
tried
to buy
that fucking
thing but i can't find it on
the website"
nubbins`: aw, heh. i
tell pascale about
this sweet new coin, she gets all weird and disappears upstairs
nubbins`: "know what'd make
this race
to
the bottom more fun? grease"
nubbins`: but you'd be wrong if you
thought
that, apparently
nubbins`: TBF you'd
think nobody would mail-order a dozen fake IDs either
nubbins`: (nobody would mail-order drugs with a picture of
their face on
the bag)
nubbins`: this harkens back
to our earlier discussion about mail-order drugs and plausible deniability
nubbins`: "...because
totally people send you fake passports with your motherfucking face on
them as a prank all
the
time"
pankkake: well it's like
training with weights.
the french manage
to do stuff despite
the burden, what would happen without it?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` moreover, if
they get rid of
the
tax burden
that's just frittering away people's resources, france may actually come back from
the dead.
nubbins`: well ya know. you default on your obligations and
the world still
turns
gecko_x2: hey mp, i read on hackernews about your kind donation
to
the BSD project.. just wanted
to say cheers, good going :D
pankkake: well
there is certainly a (wrong) belief of
the young
that
they'll always have an income and a place
to get stuff
mircea_popescu: let
them vote
the guy who says "taxes go away,
the french state defaults on all its obligations.
that's it"
nubbins`: they were also more prudent with
their money, fwiw
pankkake: but really
the older generations had lower cost of living and less
taxes; it's harder
pankkake: well, it depends. some have
the income
to save
nubbins`: pankkake, i call bullshit on
the "not
that
they can"
mircea_popescu: and yes. winklevii are lieing
to
the usg, on
the grounds of scammy promises people who make a habit out of lieing about
their dev status made.
pankkake: my generation saves nothing… not
that
they can
pankkake: crazy world where saving
to plan for
the future is bad
mircea_popescu: nubbins` it's funny
tho,
they don't have
the balls
to say so, lest she calls
their mommy fat.
ThickAsThieves: yknow mpoe-pr may be
the last finger hanging onto
the cliff for
the forum
pankkake: that leaves
the forum for
the mediocre
ThickAsThieves: winkelvii says
the core developers will save us from
the hoarders if needed
pankkake: interestingly
the
top ignores have both very sane people and very retarded people
ThickAsThieves: which is actually what
the forum is getting really good at
mircea_popescu: "i suggest we just ban btc off btctalk and anyone who is sane.
then we can finally be alt-happy and alt-successful"
nubbins`: due
to a mix-up,
they're all given snowden's face
mircea_popescu: actually, with obamacare maybe
they can get facial reconstructive surgery on
the dole.
nubbins`: certainly not
the man he shot in
the face with a gun
nubbins`: he's essentially a hybrid of
the penguin and voldemort
nubbins`: although
TBF dicky should just be referred
to as "he who cannot be named"
mircea_popescu: they wish
to give
their humanity away, fine,
take it from
them
then.
mircea_popescu: actually, speaking of propaganda of
th edeed : making a point of addressing all bureaucrats as a random name picked from
the pool of bureaucrats.
nubbins`: consider
that i don't have what i'd consider a common name, but a google search
turns up at least half a dozen people with it
nubbins`: altho far
too many name collisions for my liking
nubbins`: who can remember bureaucrat345987643985? much easier
to
type john smith
nubbins`: mircea_popescu, essentially a birth certificate is a rudimentary DNS system in
this regard
nubbins`: completes
the analogy
that everyone is just a number
mircea_popescu: "bureaucrat345987643985
ty for your leadership. nao speaking bureaucrat345987643456"
mircea_popescu: aren't you shocked
they manage
to allocate names for all
these ?
