ThickAsThieves: "Only day trade with what you are willing to lose completely."
mircea_popescu: canada is starting to sound pretty ocol.
FabianB_: "anyone with a verified account will be able to quickly send money to their MtGox account via 128 global currencies." <-- 128 currencies? I only see 4 countries moneypolo operates in, how could that be 128 currencies?
mircea_popescu: weird how geek tastes change.
mircea_popescu: just out of nowhere, like that. basically electricity is about as ubiquitous as cunt, and i guess crypto is electricity porn
mircea_popescu: this reminds me of the good days of porn
TomServo: a fair point, I wasn't intending to misconstrue
mircea_popescu: just forcing the point that "6k one day" != "6k a day"
TomServo: You see the graph?
mircea_popescu: more like 500 a day irl, not that such a thing is bad
TomServo: Yes, the 6k is a very recent thing
mircea_popescu: 6k a day, but for two weeks.
mircea_popescu: folks like to think their stupidity is what makes the world turn.

KRS|Gotyawallet: i can quickly point my asics to mine different alt coins based on their profitability and go back if need be..auto cash out at preset levels
KRS|Gotyawallet: mining different alt coins to capitalize on their value in hopes of trading up to more btc than otherwise would be mined directly?
ThickAsThieves: and there is definitely a correlation to qty of shares held
mircea_popescu: (a small town hipster retreat close to seattle)
mircea_popescu: either that or someone got stuck on wala-wala.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think they named it african-sounding deliberately because sexually insecure california white hipster doofuses.
pankkake: "we need to replete our fractionnal reserve first"
mircea_popescu: if you've learned anything in this chan, it's reading betwixt the lines
nubbins`: <pankkake> probably santa mining with the gifts <<< lel, isn't that bad for his chi?
the20year: is moneypolo licensed in the US/
asciilifeform: (i still can't read 'dwolla' without thinking of nigerian spam. must be the consonant cluster.)
mircea_popescu: sure, it's a tiny start-up, but still.
asciilifeform: same universe that 'dwolla' existed in?
KRS|Gotyawallet: I would think it should work both ways though.
KRS|Gotyawallet: well...mt gox isn't designed like that. Between bad trades, fees are supposed to eat up your moneies anyway so getting fiat out isnt a problem.
mircea_popescu: and moneypolo is "leading" in the very limited universe in which mtgox also matters.
mircea_popescu: send money TO wasnt ever a problem
KRS|Gotyawallet: ...then they're like BAM!
KRS|Gotyawallet: Now that we are working with MoneyPolo, a leading financial company that is in-tune with the future of Bitcoin, anyone with a verified account will be able to quickly send money to their MtGox account via 128 global currencies.

mircea_popescu: i thought re catholic priests.
nubbins`: re: tiny homes
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: ah, those are called bachelor pads here
mircea_popescu: which sounds a lot like the romanian "scirt," which means "big whoop" which as stephen fry would put it, works.
pankkake: after all, people manage to pronounce SCSI…
mircea_popescu: you can pronounce the latter "skirts"
pankkake: EDVIGE is arguably better than SRTRKRTS because you can pronounce it
truffles: what kinda frenchman takes it from a Romanian !
mircea_popescu: and how is edvige a "good" anything. it fails to be an obscure female name.
pankkake: where they invent stuff that must have a good initialism. like EDVIGE (sounds like Edwige the female name) for the police spy file
mircea_popescu: as they've copied all the bad ideas the french ever had since about 1905
mircea_popescu: tghe french invented this initialism bs which then the us army/govt copied
mircea_popescu: by the way, has the "hate speech" crowd managed to make crack a hurtful reference in gay contexts yet ?
ThickAsThieves: its better than the sexting word they made
mircea_popescu: gentlemen, i am glad we've assembled such a crack team of creative linguists on this venue.
ThickAsThieves: cant beat that

pankkake: well we have the garçonnière. the place where married men fuck other women
mircea_popescu: it has no derrogatory nuance here tho
the20year: i'm not worried since i was the first one in
mircea_popescu: pankkake fun fact : the one room, high 20s to low 30s sqm thing is called "garsoniera" in romania, comes from garcon.
mircea_popescu: the20year i wouldn't be too worried about that if i were you.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wow, that's russian style.
pankkake: asciilifeform: 32m² here too. though I have a big ass cellar
the20year: once i released info on what i wanted to do, like 20 people copied it
nubbins`: okay, i think he was doing similar to you but in canada
nubbins`: or was that someone else
nubbins`: the20year: are you the guy from the forums who was looking into buying rental properties in halifax?
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: nod, the "studio" is split between the 3rd floor and the basement. sometimes finding your pencil is a workout
asciilifeform: i might be the 'submarine' champ here. 32 sq. m.

the20year: who's the naked lady?
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: consider that canada is ostensibly metric and i don't know the square metrage of my house
