mircea_popescu: that'd be missing a fundamental ingredient in
the psychology of
the scammer.
mircea_popescu: by
the
time a bitcoin is over 10k it'll be almost breathable in
the "community"
mircea_popescu: which is actually
the service all
these failed attempts provide bitcoin :
they shed all
the idiots off us.
thanks god.
mircea_popescu: mike_c
the only way cognitive can become
the whatever, is if it moves
to dogecoins and it pretends
that's
the "world"
mike_c: sure
there is. rename it
to cognitive V2.0
mircea_popescu: the only way cognitive was a "desirable" asset was when
the herpitude of
the multitude was still fresh.
kakobrekla: ah
thank you garr, you didnt let me down
kakobrekla: -As always, I love
to hear constructive input of all sorts. It is my goal
to make Cognitive
the highly desirable asset it once was.
kakobrekla: reassured with > Second, we need
to find members willing
to help
this recovery process. People for PR, for research (which includes new hardware, new
tech, and pricing on existing
tech).
mircea_popescu: is
this
the 17yo who figures he's a player on
the strength of also having a keyboard
kakobrekla: "i cant do shit really, just wanna be
the ceo, is dat ok?"
kakobrekla: >I
too agree
that in order for Cognitive
to be wildly successful like it once was more people need
to come on board on
the management front, preferably shareholders, because we all have a vested interest in
the company succeeding as opposed
to contracted workers.
kakobrekla: >I have made some strategic relationships over
the weekend and I will be able
to make
things right with all involved. Not another day will pass with any of my bitcoin affairs being neglected, you can be sure of
that.
kakobrekla: selling asic gear best biz ever.
take monies, ship when you can, if you cant, use water bottles.
kakobrekla: >Edit:
The Avalon chips
that were purchased using FIMB funds are now sitting in a box, because
they arrived so late it was not worth it
to assemble
them. I did not have
the option
to refund. Regardless, FIMB holders will be reimbursed.
mircea_popescu: lippoper it's just funny, on
the interwebs everyone has "opinions"
lippoper: "The only
thing holding back precious metals right now is
the fact
that
the USA can print money, buy gold in London anonymously, sell it at a loss, print more money
to cover
the loss, and repeat as required
to drive
the price down
to whatever it wants.
This is only possible because Gold is vastly undervalued so it does not
take many dollars
to be able
to engage in
this kind of manipulation"
mircea_popescu: noobs discover bitcoin, imagine
th eworld starts and ends with
their
trufflebrain, make articles
to

the world.

lippoper: i got a boner from making ~12k doges while it's falling in price, day
trading is exciting. .bait
mircea_popescu: herp. "30% of kids aren't employed.
this perhaps has something
to do with
the fact
that even if
they were it wouldn't help
them ?!?!?:!"
mircea_popescu: In its latest review of social developments,
the European Commission has said finding a job increasingly has not pulled people out of economic hardship. It said poverty among people with jobs was a major problem.
KRS1: can't believe we're about
to see all
time high btc market price real soon
jurov: but yes, raising funds for implementing
the Infinite Monkey Protocol would be worthwhile
jurov: dragon's
tale has a monkey game
mircea_popescu: like you know,
the old parrot-fortune-picking
thing carnies/gypsies did in
the old soviet space
mircea_popescu: i;m kind-of dissapoint
that nobody has come up with some sort of forum-"financial" product centered around a monkey
mircea_popescu: i'm sure about as many people made
the same choice as
the legions
that sold
them btc back when i was buying all
there was on sale and never ran into
them
lippoper: but from one of
the richest families
mircea_popescu: sounds like
the exact people i'd have my wealth managed by, personally.
jurov: so
they started
the fund, inserted btc, pulled usd out?
lippoper: wait for it, next
thing we know,
they are
the fabled satoshi - creator of
the btc
jurov: yes,
that's why im asking about
the bigger picture
mircea_popescu: somehow none of us active at
the
time heard or felt
this, but
they did it.
mircea_popescu: jurov you remember,
the
twinklevii,
those people who kept buying btc back when it was 10. lots of it.
jurov: o,
they sold bitcoins
to
the fund?
lippoper: they claim
they sold 75% of it
jurov: what happened
to
their fund?
lippoper: if
they did what
they said,
then
they'd walk away with over 10,000% profit in USD
mircea_popescu: the point here isn't
that we believe what
they say.
the point here is
that what
they say is less nutty
than it was afore.
mircea_popescu: this'd depend on your definition of "a killing" and on
the faith you put in
the numbers advanced by well known liars.
lippoper: They still kept 25%, i bet
that was maybe less
than half of
their net profit?
mircea_popescu: good for
them
that
that particular psychological issue
they had has somehow found resolution meanwhile.
mircea_popescu: they never mattered, but had previously
trouble coming
to
terms with
this fact.
lippoper: what do you
think about
the Winklevii cashing out 75% of
their BTC?
mircea_popescu: i'll call
this writing seminal strictly for
the benefit of
the double entendre.
ozbot: Inflation, deflation, economic regulation. pe

BingoBoingo: truffles: I will play chess with sane
time controls, but
the
time controls you enjoy offer a game other
than chess.
truffles: tis
too bad ure not into
timed games Boingo
BingoBoingo: I dunno
truffles You never know which early adopter might already have
traded
their BTC for a Moonbase or perhaps a portion of
the ISS
BingoBoingo: truffles: I dunno
that you have
the ability
to do a "scientific poll"
davout: BingoBoingo: "poison your sample" <<
that sounds dirty
BingoBoingo: truffles: Not all, but knowing all is a step
to far.
BingoBoingo: Also
truffles when you just spontaneously
throw something out
there like "room poll" people might poison your sample.
BingoBoingo: truffles:
There are chan logs in
the
topic. A decent number of people have mentioned nationalities since
the web log of
this channel began
truffles: how do u prove either way without something of
the sort
BingoBoingo: truffles:
This exactly wrong approach of read less and "room poll!" is what makes you such an easy
target
BingoBoingo: truffles: Just because you can't arse yourself
to remember or infer
the nationalities of conversation participants, doesn't make your assumptions correct.
truffles: id wager is higher on
the muricans who speak, even if
there is a romanian cluster
that is silent
chetty: and
therein is
the problem
truffles,
the viewport is
too small
BingoBoingo: punkman: No offense
taken. I could go
to any number of Walmarts and by
the end of
the venture feel very inclined
to exclude myself from a proper category of people
punkman: BingoBoingo: sorry, I didn't mean
to exclude you
BingoBoingo: punkman:
There are some, but it is increasingly rare.
truffles: well we'd have
to do room poll
chetty: Its a big world with lots of
time zones
mircea_popescu: mno silly,
that's your stereotype you use
to internally represent your intellectual superiors.
truffles: ure of
the
type
that feels
theyre never wrong, i will
try
to shatter
that :D
mircea_popescu: assbot pls
to delete
teh other line from
the permanent record :D
mircea_popescu: there isn't, nor are
there "standard
things". stop stereotyping, it's
the mental process of
the very stupid.
mircea_popescu: a very smart judge once said, in response
to
the gov't claim
that "this is a standard deal"
that
there is no such
thing as a "standard" deal.
truffles: i could just start posting
things
to refute u but
that highhorse
mircea_popescu: but at any rate : if you ask some guy how did he find
the steak and he says "stringy", you have no space
to ask for proof of claim.
mircea_popescu: that high horse is a) legitimately high ; b) much higher in fact
than your myopia allows you
to see.
mircea_popescu: once your brains no longer has a reference language it will keep all, or at least enough functional constructs
to be able
to rapidly recover.
mircea_popescu: as long as your brains
thinks
there's a correct language
to have and extras as modules
to it, it keeps forgetting
them
davout: punkman: watch some
tv, it does help
to refresh
mircea_popescu: people don't respect whores enough.
the whore has
the ability
to not believe in anything.
this is valuable.
punkman: I've already unlearned
two languages by not using
them
punkman: mircea_popescu: how do you keep all
those languages working, imported cunts?
mircea_popescu: With Experience Soda free for any order of
two or more!
davout: no, but I have a pill
that will make you rich, it'll be 1 BTC sir
punkman: is
there a pill
that will make me cultured?
chetty: no, it doesn't
truffles. but its a decent starting point.
truffles: i wonder about
the level of fluency in
those other languages
