mjr_: if your motives were pure, you wouldn't need to launch an alt
mjr_: IF the idea was good, you wouldn't need to launch an alt
xmj: Misesians don't understand Human Action
mjr_: so the only rationale is that "the idea isn't good", or "i don't want to give away the idea without scamming people for money and boosting my ego"
mjr_: but you wouldn't be able to boost your ego, or scam people into paying you
xmj: too bad bitcoin-derivates don't do naked shorts.
mjr_: ah, P.T. Barnum said that a sucker is born every minute
mjr_: You can't short the alts, because there is no trustworthy lender, because they are all scams...
mjr_: mircea_popescu: I meant you can short almost all stocks today, you couldn't in the 90's tech bubble.
mircea_popescu: no you can't. im talking of the hyip crap. where do you think all these forum-ceos are coming from ?
pete_dushenski: can't remember the name now

asciilifeform gets this; can't bring himself to actually -spend- btc on anything.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: i still don't know who in the fuck would buy them ;D
mircea_popescu: that way, the people whoi can afford to pay, and the people who can't aren't hussled. best of both worlds.
mircea_popescu: moreover, the idea isn't to make it impossible for people to read for free. the idea is to make it not cost effective.
mircea_popescu: noobs today. can't even scam.
mircea_popescu: they figure they got enough crazy on their own, don't need trilema.

mircea_popescu: no, they don't.
nubbins`: tongue won't reach that far up ;(
BingoBoingo: %t
nubbins`: oh, you don't trim
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i suspect what he means is that he isn't cool, can't be bothered to even try and doesn't ~FEEL~ this shoulkd make any difference.
mircea_popescu: it really doesn't take any effort.
nubbins`: isn't social entitlement just a different way of saying you're cool?
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine there ever lived a more easy to hate generation.

mircea_popescu: ;;later tell wyrdmantis: i'm confused. Now i need to get rated in the wot but don't know how... << generally by doing business with, or perhaps more commonly working for, the people already in the wot.
mircea_popescu: i didn't mean it negatively, i meant it admiratively.
mircea_popescu: it should, but it doesn't.
mircea_popescu: paper doesn't exactly fight back in the sense of hitting bad poets over the head, either.
asciilifeform: killing things that can't fight back - where's the fun
mike_c: i have enough for my satisfication. there are lots of smart people that don't know (or care to know) anything about conducting business.
assbot: http://t.co/zXCkNrMiFV
xmj: don't understand shit and imply meaning where there isn't any
xmj: i don't get it
BingoBoingo: %t
mike_c: i'm going to write a blog post on the last BTC game soon. it was interesting to me that more of the free money didn't get picked up, although TheNewDeal did grab some.
the20year: Well, doesn't give immunity to any one regardless of position
the20year: I don't know what i did to pankakke to PO him, this FUD thing dropped share prices pretty signfiicantly and added pretty major volatility to the stock
BingoBoingo: ;;rate the20year 1 Going long on Ohio is prolly stupid but hasn't run away yet
BingoBoingo: %t
BingoBoingo: !t m s.mpoe
BingoBoingo: !t m s.nsa
BingoBoingo: !t m s.wol
BingoBoingo: Oh yeah, WoL hasn't been around long enough to experience the full possible speed of ATC mining
BingoBoingo: %t
pankkake: "String of blocks will reject payments lower than 0.0001 BTC before the end of December 2014" the guy almost had it right, I'm submitting a better bet even though I don't really see the point :p
Vexual: i don't like drunk satoshi
wyrdmantis: they can't stole my btc with my pgp key, so i fell safe for now
wyrdmantis: i think chinese don't pay taxes like italians have to do

pankkake: it doesn't, I used another account too
cazalla: don't have facebook, i was gonna use missus account but figured stellar would post shit all over her wall
wyrdmantis: i understand punkman, but this don't preclude honest people to do things right
Vexual: yeah i wouldn't touch it with dub's dick
nubbins`: personally, i don't trust people who take loans at all
wyrdmantis: i don't "need"... i'm just trying to understand what all this WoT is about, to get in contact with you "strong" bitcoiners :)
wyrdmantis: i'm confused. Now i need to get rated in the wot but don't know how...
mircea_popescu: i don't think the steam stuff is even used anymore.
xmj: to the question why everone else is building nukes around german boarders and we aren't he (in some convoluted answer) replied that "we couldn't get this through parliament and run through the population."
Vexual: theres no reason they can't take their shirt off in a nuclear plant
khersonus: punkman: oh, cool, didn't know that existed
khersonus: yes, but you can't if you're looking through the logs
mircea_popescu: khersonus i said it doesn't.
khersonus: khersonus: you mentioned self censorship works towards the interest of the individual. So, lack of self censorship should do the opposite. You don't seem to self censor much, so, you're looking out for the interests of us all?
khersonus: mircea_popescu: indeed, and from what I can tell, you don't self censor all that much. But somehow I don't picture you as selfless.
cazalla: pete_dushenski, there is nothing i could write that would be of any interest to anyone here and in the past it was about quantity, quality wasn't even a consideration (until google decided it was)
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: i can't register for van the request is still going but it looks like it's gonna time out...
mircea_popescu: no way i haven't ?!
cazalla: according to this thread, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=218324.0 he doesn't even bother replying to them these days
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell mike_c hey aren't nonpareils those little candy things on cakes ?
Jason: i don't think you can even do that
Jason: mircea_popescu: how can I check if someone's in assbot's l2 wot? it doesn't look like b-otc.com has a method of doing this, and keeping/syncing a local db is silly
mircea_popescu: o it isn't ?
mircea_popescu: don't mind me, use whatever you like.
mircea_popescu: no it doesn't.
