VanCleef: but as an investor isn't it retarded
to put 100% of your weight into bitcoin?
ThickAsThieves: well
this is not
the simplest
thing
to put
to
the
test
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
this will be unpleasant
to hear, but as far as i can
tell if your fambly won't follow you
to
the ends of
the earth you don't have a fambly.
VanCleef: oh btw oh bummer when Lord Putin invites you
to dinner, you rock up 10 mins early
mircea_popescu: my usual answer is "go someplace you always waned
to visit"
mircea_popescu: and people are lazy.
they know i'm right when i
tell
them
to just leave
that place, but... leave ?
to go where ? etc.
bloctoc: ThickAsThieves -
the usb makes it difficult for worthy americans
to be legit in any business.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves and
they are. which is why im even saying, if it's a plan
then it's a good plan.
mircea_popescu: in north america
they just fill
the rolls with retards. much more effectual and certainly cheaper
mircea_popescu: after all,
the
tyranny didn't start
there by
turning off elections, like
they do in south america.
ThickAsThieves: and usg can also make it difficult for any worthy americans
to be legit in bitcoin business
VanCleef: did you use
to be a
trader back in real world markets before coming across bitcoin?
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.
VanCleef: and
then american bitcoin companies being
the CEO again
mircea_popescu: VanCleef 1.
there are a bunch and 2.
the problem is just
that a bunch of internet retards are being very vocal about how bitcoin is
them.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yeah my bank calls me up all
the
time, "mr popescu your current account is full. shall we open another ?"
VanCleef: but anyway you cant expect
too many smart people involved in bitcoin when
this is a stockmarket brokers game
VanCleef: true, i dont have
that problem hey
mircea_popescu: VanCleef who cares about
the marketplace ? i'd read it. what do you want
the applause of
the mob for ? cicero knew better. you want
the applause of
the people you respek.
mircea_popescu: i guess it sounds hypocritical seeing how i made
tons over
the past coupla years, but hey.
tis
true.
mircea_popescu: they work because
they like what
they do. i'm not here because of whatever much dought.
VanCleef: but
the marketsplace is so fucking retarded
that simple logical stuff, doesn't work
mircea_popescu: most people
that are competent don't work
to fend off hunger and keep
the lights on.
kleeck_: You are absolutely
the Bitcoin Alex Jones.
VanCleef: but would smart people bother with bitcoin, when you can be a daytrader and making like 10g's off a few
ticks?
mircea_popescu: if people only did what pays
there would never be any hot sixteen year olds because it doesn't pay
to have babies.
mircea_popescu: i'd
take it about five hundred
times. greatest currency in
the world we don't have a fucking blogger. where's our drudge already.
ThickAsThieves: all
those people are busy making better money elsewhere i guess
mircea_popescu: if we could
trade 100 "community members" for one intelligent, educated and capable guy it'd be a grand deal.
mircea_popescu: that's
the fucking problem, we have all
these retards.
mircea_popescu: great way for an actual, serious blogger
to start his blog, for
that matter.
mircea_popescu: but he'll publish anything whatsoever. you know he will. if i pay
to have VanCleef's amethyst up
there he will do it.
mircea_popescu: they're broken for a reason, not for lack of opportunity.
they're broken people outright, and
that ain't fixable.
mircea_popescu: we need some real serious bloggers,
there's no point in
trying
to fix
these broken ones.
mircea_popescu: thegenesisblock is way past
that point as best i can determine.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves let
the guy make up and follow his own editorial policy, after which he may get all indignant
that
the girl's pissing all over his face and wonder why is mpex so mean.
kleeck_: Thanks for reaching out Kleeck. I am planning on adding
these
tonight.
The large number of product options adds some complexity
that needs
to be addressed.
kleeck_: Actually. I shot an email
to Jeff over at
TGB
telling him
to add
the VMC miner
to his mining dashboard and he responded very quickly.
mircea_popescu: right.
the only certainty is
that it was under a buttcoin.
mircea_popescu: each "offering" must include a picture of a book
that doesn't exist, shaded just so, reflected off
the
table just so etc.
mircea_popescu: they gather around
the warrior forum etc,
they make "informational products",
mircea_popescu: kleeck you know,
there's an entire subculture on
the webs
that really doesn't make
the distinction between "real product" and "photoshopped image".
pankkake: would bang, if she didn't have
the vegan
tattoo
kleeck_: At some point
the
transaction must be locked in.
pankkake: "All Specification Subject
To Changes Without Notice" lol
kleeck_: It's
those shopped images... so glorious.
Duffer1: title forgets
to mention
that
the shares moved back
to norm almost immediately..
ozbot: eASIC Announces 24
TH/s Fast-Hash Miner, ActiveMining Shares Move 70% -
The Genesis Block
assbot: Last
trade for S.MPOE on MPEX was at 0.00088133 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: somebody got a little carried away with
the lipstick ?
mircea_popescu: i mean,
they all pretend
to be gay,
they're extremely awkward socially inept individuals and
there's so much plastic surgery hackness going around...
mircea_popescu: by now i'm wondering if most of
these people have actually even seen a naked woman.
mircea_popescu: yeah i was
thinking,
these new designers are so fucking dumb
they can't even match
the hat and shoes when
there's nothing else
there.
kakobrekla: well first main was just saying if he is nuts,
then he asked who are
those scammers and i wrote
to him (who and why and when). no response.
kakobrekla: i wrote
to
the guy organising it
to let him know he is harboring 3 or more known scammers
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla lol. you were right about
those in
the end ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, im not quite sure
the eltopo guy quite understands what he's doing. looks
to me more like some guy had an idea and ran off
to implement it.
ThickAsThieves: also kinda bad
to have it up for sale as an obvious loss
jurov: ^if
this is being done on expiry date anyway why
this extra clause?
jurov: Consequently, in
the event of a net seller's deposited collateral being exceded by current difficulty a proportional number of open contracts will be forcibly liquidated.
mircea_popescu: "I like
the idea, much more appealing
than
the other difficulty futures out
there!"
jurov: it's much less
than current diff 86mil
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves rehash of
the deprived/brendio dual
thing ?
ThickAsThieves: i was working on something akin
to it, but never had
time
to flesh it out
ozbot: [BTC-TC] ET.DIFF: Future
to speculate on next difficulty change
mircea_popescu: well, december should be interesting at
this rate, 0.3 each or some shit.
mircea_popescu: Thus for example
the X.IDIFF.SEP
traded in January 2013 will settle on MPEx on September
the 18th, 2013. Should
the network difficulty at
that
time be 3370182
then each contract will be worth 0.03370182 BTC.
