decimation: Don'
t use Bitcoin because we can'
t take it away from you, at our option
mircea_popescu: and so in this sense, it's not that bitcoin isn'
t insured in that way. it's moreover that bank deposits etc aren'

dignork: then x won'
t be able to open a trading account with duplicate details
dignork: well, so e would be able to fight it in court, but e doesn'

dignork: x will have to show his escrow balance, otherwise d won'
t pay
dignork: ThickAsThieves: the guy obviously doesn'
t know that LBC trades are going through escrow, so he can only damage some ratings. That is, unless buyers are clinical idiots, and release funds first.

mircea_popescu: and obviously, there's no prize for the people that ran safe stacks. there's a prize for those who didn'
t, who now get to a) bundle a lot of unrelated responmsibility and blame it on this known cause and b) ask for more money.
ThickAsThieves: apparently it's pretty hard to make a bitbet that difficulty can'

t all they're cracked up to be either

t need to attack other coins or promote negativity. It turns people off."

mircea_popescu: it so happens that i won'
t even consider women that don'
t, i'm pretty sure the top generally doesn'
t, and so it's a quite dangerous strat.
mircea_popescu: "And more to the point here, it is the reason why women often feel that men have "the upper hand" in relationships. That feeling doesn'
t exist because men are dominant over women or have some kind of real advantage; it is just because men are strongly motivated by sex, and therefore get into relationships with girls they don'
t really care about - or at least, they get into relationships with girls who care more about
t mircea_popescu: moiety don'
t you find people tend to be less argumentative ?
moiety: in terms of learning stuff here, i guess so mircea_popescu, but i have found in across board. there's some people i would hire that are half the age of those i wouldn'

benkay: so while best practices are a thing and brokers do get put to the coals, as with all regulated things only the dumb and most obviously rule-breaky are going to get their feet torched. i can'

benkay: the people doing the sale failed to do it on their own at 900k, so this vulture swooped in, started ratcheting the price down and as all the buyers trickled in said something along the lines of "I know that this isn'
