mircea_popescu: rather
than represent
them as any of
the numerous
things
they're not.
mircea_popescu: the one noteworthy
thing is
that
the press correctly identified
the group as representatives of bitcoin foundation, which
they are, and bitcoin advocates, which
they also are
kakobrekla: also lol “Right now, it’s $3
to get money out of an ATM,”
kakobrekla: Startups and small businesses hoping
to conduct
transactions using
the currency would be driven out of
the United States in
the face of heavy regulation, said Marco Santori,
ozbot: Inside
the Bitcoin advocates’ closed-door meeting with federal regulators
mircea_popescu: their one hope is your one hope, which is
to say educating
themselves.
the exact
thing you don't want
to do, because everything's
the same and everyone's equal or w/e.
mircea_popescu: they aren't a part of
the discussion of bitcoin other
than as historical accident, nor of bitcoin securities at all.
mircea_popescu: stargazing noobs hoping
their irrelevancy may somehow be soothed and
their poverty magically alleviated moved from glbse
to btct
mircea_popescu: the
two populations have nothing in common. people with a clue are already on mpex, and have been, long before btct was even invented.
mircea_popescu: the ceo of airbus does point out when some scam killing people pops up pretending
to be airbuz
ThickAsThieves: maybe
this results in me moving my securities
to another exchange
gecko_x2: so what if
they are a scam,
then
that means in
the end everyone will flow back
to mpex
gecko_x2: i just don't understand
the shit slinging
mircea_popescu: im sorry if reality contradicts your pedestrian equalitarianism. grow up and all
that.
mircea_popescu: dexX7 my standpoint is
that as long as you're allowed
to mortgage park avenue and pay your monopoly debts in parker dollars bitbet is no different, and as long as you aren't allowed
the foregoing
the entire discussion is moot anyway and croix de lorraine.
ThickAsThieves: <gecko_x2> just
that one should have some evidence before accusing people of fraud <<< what evidence is missing?
dexX7: what's your standpoint on
this
topic (not btct in general)?
gecko_x2: and you're using
this nick
to create controversy
dexX7: i like
that
this
topic receives attention
though i might not like
the outcome. let's say i create some bitbets about "stock x goes up/down",
this might be gambling or something else, but wouldn't
turn bitbet into a derivate broker, would it? a simulated stock
trading plattform with fictitious/non-fictitious securities is not so far away from
this imho, but one could also come up with
gecko_x2: well if i were you i'd concentrate on making my own exchange better instead of spending all my
time pouring shit over others
mircea_popescu: you know, it's much like politicians :
the corrupt ones love it when
the public
thinks all politicians are corrupt.
gecko_x2: just
that one should have some evidence before accusing people of fraud
VanCleef: <
ThickAsThieves> at least since
the labcoin/btcgarden releases
kleeck: I
think he has been...
pankkake: oh he did. "This change did not come from
them"
pankkake: you notice he does not answer about
the lawyer
mircea_popescu: not really. it gets expensive
to pay your shills and
the scammer running
the btct
thing and
then all
the fgake volume...
pankkake: lol
the guy must have a lot of btc and yet he votes nothing
ozbot: BitBet - Labcoins own 130nm design sample chips will be received by
testers by 12TH SEPT 2013
ThickAsThieves: much, but we have
to make sure people are not being
tricked or misled into believing anything on
the site is a real security."
ThickAsThieves: "Killed
two birds with one stone. Wink
The disclosure must now be agreed
to before seeing
the market or
the individual assets. It's virtually
the same disclosure as
that in
the registration agreement, but
this way
there's a periodic reminder
that participants should only be using
the site for education/entertainment/fun. I know a lot of people out
there are not going
to like
this
mircea_popescu: well
then excuse me while i ignore some incompetent scammer
trying
to steal shit from me in order
to make fiddy bux.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves did he had
the decency
to quote my post ?
kleeck: He has reiterated
this?
ThickAsThieves: mircea_popescu, have you seen burnside's latest assertions
that BTCT is all a game?
kleeck: Oh
think
their is a lot of
truth
to
that.
mircea_popescu: best i can guess pretty much all kids have some sort of sexual contact with other kids. i had, as a kid, all
the kids i knew did, as kids, it's normalcy as far as i can
tell.
mircea_popescu: i'm sure
there's a deep end of it. but i have
the luxury of considering
the other end.
kleeck: So, you don't respect
the model woman in your life, who probably neglected you, and your main exposure
to woman are ones
that make money pretending
to love being gangbanged.
kleeck: Of course. I
think
the
trick is
to not hurt anyone while you error your way
to adulthood.
mircea_popescu: right. still, functionally speaking
the brain matures from infancy
to adulthood.
this always involves some
trial and error, and it'd stand
to reason sex is no different.
kleeck: I should say most were convicted. Some were wards of
the state and were sent by
their counties.
kleeck: We didn't have many kids
that had consensual sex with other kids...
kleeck: Instead of calling
them
that,
though,
the powers
that be determined
that
they just have not sexually developed properly.
mjr_: wait are we
talking about
the girl accused of playing "doctor"
kleeck: It's
the PC
term for "kids who
touch other kids"
deadweasel: kleeck, my youth is leaving me, but my sexual maladaptive
traits only seem
to strengthen... wtf?
kleeck: Indeed. I used
to run a program for what we called, "Sexually Maladaptive Youth".

Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
kleeck: "So, as managing editor of CNN.com, I want our readers
to know
this: All you are
to us, and all you will ever be
to us, are eyeballs.
The more eyeballs on our content,
the more cash we can ask for. Period. And if we’re able
to get more eyeballs,
that means I’ve done my job, which gets me congratulations from my bosses, which encourages me
to put up even more stupid bullshit on
the homepage."
thestringpuller: Urushiol: so it
trades higher, if you look at
the last
trades
tho, it's stable so it's liquid if you still buy, so it is still a "buyers market"

Diablo-D3: local bank has a $1000 on
the wall in
the vault btw
Diablo-D3: and when
they quit using $1000+ bills, $1000 was a lot of fucking money
Diablo-D3: its funny hearing anti-Fed or anti-war on drugs people bring
them up and be like
THE GOVERNMENT IS
TAKING OUR SHIT AWAY
Diablo-D3: $1000 and up were only ever really meant for bank
to bank
transfers
Diablo-D3: although due
to $1000 and up being a rarity,
they're worth far more
than
that
to a private collector
Diablo-D3: and only
the
treasury will convert it into modern bills
Diablo-D3: a business doesnt have
to accept it as legal
tender
Diablo-D3: in
the US
they're "illegal" anyhow

Duffer1: dunno who
the guy is but if anyone ever made a B bill,
that design would be a good place
to start
jurov: some photoshop dude on
trolltalk
Duffer1: ya i saw
that, i would have preferred a motion
to open a legal fund but w/e i'm not a stockholder anyways
dexX7: i'm not implying "this is legit" or anything, but afaik he withheld 58 bitcoin of divs last month or
the month before for upcoming layer expenses

Duffer1: 5 monopoly dollars
that just happen
to be worth 130usd each >.<
Duffer1: hehe what's it cost
to list? like 5 B?
ThickAsThieves: maybe he can charge my account with some bitcoin credits
