testingUnoDosTre: Yes, your websites are far greater reads than the bitcointalk subforums
mircea_popescu: your essential reading, other than the channel log, is modestly http://trilema.com/category/bitcoin/ and perhaps http://trilema.com/category/mpex/

the20year: Yes, it was. There's no reason to get tenants that will tear your house up
the20year: I shoot for turnover every 2 years, with 3 weeks of vacancy
mike_c: was that for the record? ;)
the20year: We get good tenants
mike_c: and a landlord who will take you. i guess if you're in the business of quick evictions you don't worry about reliability much. turnover is a bitch though.
asciilifeform: mike_c: all you need to rent for 700 is 700x1 or 2 (security deposit)
mike_c: that's not realistic. would need to get money to fix it up
mike_c: i am surprised that there is such a group of people that are qualified to rent a home for $700 a month but can't get a $70k mortgage. seems depressing, but I guess there are much worse things in the world.
asciilifeform: mike_c: where's the surprise? slaves get their food cheaper (free!) than free men
the20year: Maybe $750, the location is fantastic
mike_c: what would you get in rent for that?
the20year: The things you see when you don't have enough cash....

jurov: the celebrity could create value for the currency by selling tickets in that currency << Ha. This needs to happen.

mircea_popescu: attempting to put them to some useful purpose is not much unlike trying to put computers to some useful purpose
mircea_popescu: basically the problem of postmodernism is that words don't mean anything anymore ;/.
mircea_popescu: such as they make a twitter reply going "That;s hot" in responmse to the guy's @ ?
mircea_popescu: course the problem will be some redditard will start a dr dre coin
mircea_popescu: well at least identify the class.
jurov: lol too much for ozbot?
jurov: it prolly needs to name the celebs
jurov: http://www.businessinsider.com/a-celebrity-will-launch-their-own-coin-in-2014-2014-1 would this be acceptable on bitbet?
jurov: and to valiantly fight cancer and aids
mircea_popescu: i'm sure if bill gates introduces himself it's never "Hi, I'm Bill Gates, I used to own Microsoft". It's definitely "Hi I'm passionate about lasagna and I have a 20 year career in like computer stuff and such."
mircea_popescu: it has to be anon. because people with actual jobs and actual histories behave exactly like redditards. it's redditrule.
