mircea_popescu: that's
the story here : bitbet enacts reality.
that's all i do
to show you : point
to
the bitbet decision.
mircea_popescu: you know, any of
the interested partioes going "HEY!
This bet is won!"
mircea_popescu: anyway. all
this would have been way more useful sometime around august
the 8th
mircea_popescu: i find it suspicious mtgox is one single
thing, and i find it suspicious
that
thing is 2 digit precise.
mircea_popescu: Ukyo it's
true, but it's also damned hard
to distinguish who's serious etc. gotta pick some sort of a fixed criterion.
ThickAsThieves: oh so you mean
this page has more
than bitocincharts has?
mircea_popescu: which is why your substitute source is no good : it includes more
things.
mircea_popescu: well now we know for a fact it's not good :
the bitcoincharts site doesn't include
this bit2c
thing

ozbot: imgur:

the bet comments on like
two different passes.
mircea_popescu: there's also eur, jpy, and whatever
the fuck else, like 4-5
things.
mircea_popescu: lol well, i'm willing
to acknowledge i don't use chrome.
mircea_popescu: saying "take
this
twenty and give it
to your sister" is one
thing. saying "well i hear a certain young lady has seen more
things
than you'd expect" it's quite another.
thestringpuller: "Put down
the bong,
the pope isn't coming" and such comments
thestringpuller: soooo i mean rickles isn't
the only one
talking out against obama
thestringpuller: Now, back in
the early .80s, we knew
that Iraq used chemical weapons against Iran and were likely
to use
them again. Not only did we not attack
them, we supported Iraq in doing it. And of course, we still reserve
the right
to use bunker-busters, cluster bombs, and
the Mark 77 which is not, not filled with napalm,
technically.
thestringpuller: STEWART: See
the red line. You can.t use chemicals
to kill your own people. You have
to do it organically! America and
the world want
to make sure Assad only uses locally sourced, free-long-range land ordinance.
thestringpuller: OBAMA: We have been very clear
to
the Assad regime but also
to other players on
the ground
that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized.
mircea_popescu: “President Obama is a personal friend of mine. He was over
to
the house yesterday, but
the mop broke.”
mircea_popescu: Since we're doing Casino : "Ace Rothstein: Listen, if you didn't know you're bein' scammed, you're
too fuckin' dumb

to flatter myself ?

to?
mircea_popescu: what
the fuck, you could pick a better matching comedian

pankkake: I'd just reply with "If you have Labcoin shares (and don't have inside knowledge) you ARE a fucking idiot.
There's no grey area on
that."
mircea_popescu: "Scott
Thompson (born February 25, 1965), better known by his stage name Carrot
Top, is an American comedian, known for his bright red hair, prop comedy, and self-deprecating humor."
mircea_popescu: "Obviously, I'm just pointing out
that MP is
the Carrot
Top of investment advice"
kakobrekla: How dumb am I? What kind a person does
this?
kakobrekla: >>>So let me get
this right. Someone mined 3 BTC and sent it
to
the Labcoin wallet
to cause a price spike?
pankkake: it seems

the comments on

time
the marketing herpderps wish

tight
