mjr__: that is what i am working on
mjr__: that was a quote from ludwig von mises
mjr__: i just finished antifragile, and i think it is a great book, i just wonder if he is aware of bitcoins
mjr__: it's the hedge fund that nassim taleb works at
mjr__: There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved.
mjr__: but the first quote is...
mjr__: lol, yeah, it is a flash heavy site
mjr__: anyway, if i am expecting financial savvy on reddit, i should get my head checked
mjr__: if i buy japanese stocks on nikei, i have to also account for yen/usd exchange
mjr__: same on any stock exchange when you are in a different country
mjr__: but that does not change the fact that when measured in USD, your total return is still a function of price of bitcoins and price of shares + dividends
mjr__: i'm like, you sell and buy S.DICE or S.MPOE using bitcoins, it's a way to grow your bitcoins, and the value of those bitcoins changes, so your total return when measured in dollars is a function of both effects
mjr__: ie. you either hold S.DICE or you hold Bitcoins
mjr__: yeah, can you believe that someone said to me on reddit (of course you can) that exchange rate has nothing to do with returns
mjr__: but i look forward to the end of the month report
mjr__: but mpoe is undervalued i think
mjr__: lol, s.dice is doing well for me right now
mjr__: i mean a million dollars a month is not crazy, but i think it would move the market
mjr__: but purely speculative
mjr__: i even think that it is possible that if they have halted sales due to demand, that they caused the dip
mjr__: has to have some impact, i think it's a combination of them and the ton of news coming out about bitcoins
mjr__: expanding the user base
mjr__: they are pretty new and supposedly doing a ton of volume
mjr__: mircea, do you think that coinbase could be a large part of this rally?
mjr__: options can be complicated enough without worrying about fx risk on top lol
mjr__: what is the vwap at now?
mjr_: i keep getting parse error
mjr_: that should work i think, but it doesn't
mjr_: yeah, i could see that
mjr_: though i think i can see parallels to bitcoins in almost anything
mjr_: to be honest, i think some of it even relates to bitcoins...in some ways
mjr_: yeah, it is not executed perfectly, but i think its themes are powerful
mjr_: i do recommend it though, it is not the best, but it is pretty great
mjr_: and i think it was common knowledge (in the trailer) that they show the future
mjr_: they jump around a lot
mjr_: i picture a cloud atlas future where people worship satoshi and live life according to his precepts while trying to avoid being cannibalized
mjr_: let's just both believe what we choose to believe since we aren't going to listen
mjr_: as long as they are not dogmatic...i mean what's the point then right?
mjr_: and yes, i like discussions too
mjr_: i'm using =importData()
mjr_: i did it a week ago, but for some reason, i can't do it again
mjr_: anyway, anyone know how to pull a value from a json object in google docs?
mjr_: hhahaha, how meta can we get
mjr_: omg, am i talking about atheism that I don't believe in?? what a vicious cycle...
mjr_: so yeah, agnostics rule, they just chill and have fun, and don't worship richard dawkins all day, while talking about things they don't believe in
mjr_: absence of evidence is NOT evidence of absence
mjr_: and about how much i don't believe it
mjr_: to me it's like r/atheism ... i want to spend all day talking about something I don't believe in
mjr_: won't just give me the subobject
mjr_: ugh having problems with google docs
mjr_: thanks so much that is awesome
mjr_: yes, that is what i meant
mjr_: or similar format for others?
mjr_: show the most impressive results
mjr_: so as you can see, it is not trivial which number i use, and i still cannot figure out which is the correct one to use. I think at the end of the day it is really just my choice, but I am curious how ForEx guys do it
mjr_: respectively that is cost of bitcoins at present exchange, cost of bitcoins at my conversion cost, or cost of bitcoins at time of option purchase
mjr_: also, on an interesting note, depending on how i value my options, i am either -$0.17 or +$3.16
mjr_: It would be nice to have an autoupdating spreadsheet that lists total positions and relative gain
mjr_: and thanks jurov, that would be awesome
mjr_: but i just wanted one single price, do i have to find that subobject? or can you query for it directly?
mjr_: also, is there a way to poll mpex for the last price of a given symbol? or bidding price
mjr_: even though i can rerun it from the script editor
mjr_: yeah, i keep changing the value, but it doesn't rerun the script
mjr_: trying to make it automatically get the freshest mt. gox price
mjr_: anyone know how to get a google doc to reload a script?
mjr__: since it is so much obviously better
mjr__: think soon everyone will be doing things like mpex
mjr__: just learned that nomura is using pgp
mjr__: mircea are you here?
mjr__: but in general, i don't think it has much to do with currency exchange
mjr__: some people view it as isolationist
mjr__: it is an anti-corruption initiative
mjr__: the second point is that they are doing that to try and lessen influence from outside countries and lobbyists
mjr__: that is the first point
mjr__: that article was referring to specifically people in politics
mjr__: think we'll see 26 today?
mjr__: i just would like the volume to be split through 20 exchanges all across the world
mjr__: having all the volume going through mt. gox makes me nervous
mjr__: i am really hoping that a bunch of these US btc exchanges start taking off
mjr__: but you have made trading and investing on mpex very easy to use
