ThickAsThieves:
USG better spend the silk road coins before they get tagged as drug money
mircea_popescu: confucius says, as bitcoin transitions from 1k to 1mn usd per it will be impossibel to discern whether
usg idiocy or bitcoin coolness is pushing the change
Namworld: Maybe they should go propose to the
USG to make bills with sensors that explode when they're used in an illegitimate transaction. This way the
USG could have only clean money circulating.
BingoBoingo: I suppose it may be more feasible though that Nick Denton is a
USG agent
mircea_popescu: i blame the
usg and fdr for this particularly niggardly redefinition of community.

USG can do anything for you.
Vexual: does anyone have tho
usghts on 0.9?

USG all their gold back in the 30s is probably pretty pissed off right now

usg.
mircea_popescu: basicvally the
usg is indistinguishable in practice from the common criminal.
mircea_popescu: on the other hand, in August
USG sues pirate, the same day the judge rules and the sentence is passed.
Kleeck_: The
USG is spending more money trying to prove that the "shutdown" is a big deal.
mircea_popescu: if i were the fuhrer of the nsa i would be putting backdoors in every single code or cypher used by the
usg mircea_popescu: i am certainly more interested in judges being raped by the
usg than in secretaries being raped by their bosses.
dub: wait,
USG shuts down, SR shuts down...
BingoBoingo: BFL's idea of charity is like the
USG's idea of peace...
mircea_popescu: <Luke-Jr> it can help Bitcoin without trying to run the show <<< look, you know as well as i do the foundation is essentially purposeless, but has been recently re-purposed on the fly so as to give the
usg muppets some pleasurable way to waste their time.
ThickAsThieves: and
usg can also make it difficult for any worthy americans to be legit in bitcoin business
mircea_popescu:
usg can never close down bitcoin, but
usg can actually pay fiddy cents to fiddy thousand american retards to make it look so stupid nobody will want to get involved.
Namworld: ok, the
USG is just at war 24/7 just about everywhere, I think would be the short story about pretty much every news about the US government.
mircea_popescu: ts are promises of the
usg to pay usd. eurodollars are promises of foreigners to pay usd.
benkay: what regulations does the
USG impose upon shitbucks that imposes a penalty relative to eurodollars?
benkay: what do you mean by "not subject to regulation by the
usg"?
mircea_popescu: someone's gonna argue that the
usg never existed and that'd be that.
Namworld: I expect the
USG to slowly run in circles churning out regulations
ThickAsThieves: if people learn about it, theymight also learn it's not the
USG's to control
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller bitcoin went up 10x and the
usg started making moves since then.
mircea_popescu: there's the people doin bitcoin, there's the people hoping the
usg might make them relvant in bitcoin. distinct lists.
mircea_popescu: kleeck it's the second time the wayward ny idiot has ruined the
usg's position in a year.
mircea_popescu: however, i have little confidence in
usg's ability to improve anything.
mircea_popescu: dexX7 right, because bitcoiners are that redarded, and will take the
usg at its word.
mircea_popescu: Kleeck_ not so much of a theory. it's a project run by the
usg to give its various enemies trouble.
mircea_popescu: unfortunately for the
usg, bitcoin is much larger than the united states ever could have been
☟︎ mircea_popescu: massive jailbreak operation brought to you by cia, which has decided the end of the
usg.
deadweasel: nice article, mp. the
USG accountants have invented a myriad of tricks to mis-report inflation. The misreporting ("adjusting the figures"), I first became aware of in 95, and it's only gotten worse since then.

usg eyes right now
jurov: it doesn't matter if they are randoms. they have a right to trial,

usg cares more about 3d printed firearms than virtual currencies
benkay: I don't know that MP cares about convincing a small slice of the American technocracy that the
USG is broken and/or dying.
jurov: he seems to go into lengthy elaborations only to end each article "
usg will kill it anyway"
benkay: he's marketeering new paradigms to undermine the legitimacy of the
USG. I can get behind that.
jurov: s,dice is more people too afaik... but as you can see it's clouded in fud "gonna be closed by
usg"
jurov: the herd will start buying
usg bonds? puhleaze
jurov: no tiberiusiv's argument seems that
usg inevitably cracks doen on sdice cuz illegal gambling
benkay:
usg doesn't care about laws or your mythical currencies
benkay: the
usg has a tendency to overreact, and may yet
benkay: the idea i have is that the
usg is a tool our corporations use to maintain the status quo.
benkay: if you're going to publish vulnerabilities in the systems run by the companies that run the
usg Bowjob: did
usg just sieze it?
dub: mircea_popescu: new of
USG backing
jurov: seriously, when
USG issues btc bonds, what interest rate would you ask?
BingoBongo: The most surprising thing about bitcoin would be if the
USG doesn't ignore all of the things it says it opposes so it can leverage the BTC network to transfer value to its more expendable allies
