mircea_popescu: what in the actual fuck are we doing here ?!
mircea_popescu: plus the failed american exchange, which is pretty much going to jail later this year
mircea_popescu: so basically this is a conference of the failed american asic maker, which got beat to market by two chinese and possibly a russian corp
mircea_popescu: asicminer isn't there, avalon isn't there, bitfury isn't there ?
mircea_popescu: so let me get something straight about this conference thing.
truffles: i feel like the show does a good job taking me back in time
ThickAsThieves: i used to
ThickAsThieves: when all news is advertising, its hard to know what to care about
mircea_popescu: this one is the first that acvtuyally makes sense.
mircea_popescu: of all the uses for a smartphone ui've seen so far
ThickAsThieves: americans dont care about that much
truffles: id boycott monsanto too
ThickAsThieves: i saw that
truffles: feel free to do so, i like passion
ThickAsThieves: case closed i think
ThickAsThieves: dunno what the topic is at this point
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves are you discussing the matter with truffles ?
ThickAsThieves: the fight so hard to just get what they want
ThickAsThieves: you pretty much have to manipulate people to not hang themselves
ThickAsThieves: i'm just wazing on the plight of being intelligent and honest at the same time
mircea_popescu: because we're all rebelious 16 year olds who ran away from home to be with cartman's bitcoin pirates.
ThickAsThieves: people want to hear what they want to hear
ThickAsThieves: i deal with this shit myself
ThickAsThieves: but people confuse mp's candor and truth and skeptism
truffles: irrelevant to his point
ThickAsThieves: not that i wanna toot mp's horn
mircea_popescu: nobody fails cause they're mean and evil. people fail because they're brash, "very motivated" and cheeky/disobedient.
truffles: " other than a little too prideful for their own good" words that should never be said by mp
mircea_popescu: and pretty much all the future failures too, for that matter.
mircea_popescu: pretty much all the historical failures of bitcoin were nice guys
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i tell you something : other than a little too prideful for their own good (which comes with youth)
mircea_popescu: if pure profit that's ~30 btc sort of thing
mircea_popescu: Also we apologize for the lack of communication. We have been really hard at work, gearing up for the convention, and catching up on all of our outstanding orders.
mircea_popescu: The profits of the Bitcoin 2013 sale will be included in this months dividend payout!
mircea_popescu: i sorta wish i had went to the tortilla node thing
truffles: cool designs plastered on boring t-shirts..
ThickAsThieves: to witness all this glory
ThickAsThieves: expo too sorta
mircea_popescu: is it more like an expo thing ?
mircea_popescu: but this aside : i thought this is a conference thing
ThickAsThieves: the girl on the display looks more real than the girl holding the ipad
mircea_popescu: don't forget the sharpie.
furuknap: OK, wife is back from trip, gotta do my marital duties... See you guys later.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves if it's all the same to you i'd much rather very motivated 20somethings don't "educate" anyone.
mircea_popescu: well nobody holdin' a gun to your head :D
furuknap: Yeah, I know only hard work, etc... My issue is I'm already working hard, so not sure I'd like to add the extra work.
mircea_popescu: this is why these people pretty much limit themselves to the forum
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves the thing is you want to somehpw target ppl who already have btc
ThickAsThieves: just no one that runs bitcoin biz has any biz expereience
furuknap: Well, it's better to learn with a small asset. My book would at the very best revenue $20K. I could float a fund, keep face value in escrow, pay dividends based on sales. Sales would be crypto only.
mircea_popescu: apparently there's a reporter nao.
ThickAsThieves: its totally possible
furuknap: It's the 'lotsa work' I'd rather avoid ;-)
mircea_popescu: furuknap things you do for experience aren't worth it by default.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves this is correct. nevertheless advertising for btc merc is very difficult.
furuknap: Was thinking about it as a thing to gain some experience running an asset. Not sure it's worth it, though.
ThickAsThieves: none of the merchdisers even advertisied afaik
mircea_popescu: and that's the list afaik.
mircea_popescu: there is casascius, who's trying his best to parlay his coin thing into some sort of bitcoin relevance, but other than that dubious benefit i doubt he made much actual profit
