Bugpowder: I need
to get back
to my price rise visualizations again
cole_albon: I'm glad you made money Bugpowder I should have listened
to you - you were right.
mircea_popescu: that's me explaining
to romanians how
to correcrtly protest
Bugpowder: cole_albon: It's called
The Secret
mircea_popescu: well... you know how
they say if you wish for something really really hard it comes
true ?
thestringpuller: I went
to
Truman for a visit...man
those girls no how
to party.
cole_albon: if you mention my sister I'm gonna have
to open up a can of wupass
thestringpuller: Missouri is one of
the few states I've consistently gotten laid in.
cole_albon: If
that was
the name of someone, I
take back what I said about expensive. I'm from Missouri.
mircea_popescu: there's like... one person on all
the forum using
their face in
their avatar.
mircea_popescu: well she did cut him off once he was costing more
than what
the naked housecleanning +
toe suckling was worth neh ?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: you know, now
that I
think about it. You are
the only public facing individual of mpex. MPOE-PR is very private (in a sense), and
the other "board members" are illuminati style hidden.
thestringpuller: MPOE-PR is probably
the most anonymous PR agent I've ever seen.
Bugpowder: There was also
the wife of Kludge, who's money was involved in bitcoins, even if she want.
cole_albon: yeah - I
thought you knew a bit
too much about
the mpex sentiment index. kinda like what a girl would have
to know if
they were under
the employ of mircea_popescu
thestringpuller: There are no females in bitcoin, except
those mircea_popescu pays
Bugpowder: but yah, did lose on
that put play at
the end of last month
thestringpuller: Did you lose a bit on
that put-based position awhile back?
Bugpowder: well, if I get
the job I will
try
to get
that money. In my current position, budget is basically unlimited

cryptrader: And gox just recently had
to handle 10x
their usual volume and increased ddos attacks of course
they're struggling
mircea_popescu: Lyspooner actually it's vessenes' little scam
to
try and float a little coin
Lyspooner: well, it benefits
the people
that draw a salary from it
cryptrader: Lyspooner
there is no 'bitcoin foundation' and how would
that benefit anyone?
TomServo: Yet it's still possible
to sell/buy BTC
there so... I'm not sure I agree.
Scrat: gox fails in every way possible,
they had months
to fix
this shit,
they didnt. EOD
Lyspooner: that's not nonsense,
that's awesome and i'm awesome
mircea_popescu: bgupta
twitter still is not a business/does not have a model.
bgupta: They basically had
to bring in a whole new
tech
team and
throw out most of what
they had.
Lyspooner: The Bitcoin Foundation should use all its funds and destroy LTC
the way people destroyed IOCoin and IXCoin
Scrat: TomServo:
that's like saying
that I'm successful human being because I'm breathing
iz: did you actually play magic? remember
the chaos orb?
bgupta: Twitter is a prime example of a site
that started completely brokensuffered massive growing pains (and outages), and
then went on
to ma instream success.
jurov: oh and what happened
to usagi's mpex asset? can you now disclose for lulz?
Lyspooner: ok, mircea_popescu,
this will be my parting
thought on LTC. You might like it...
TomServo: obviously gox is far from ideal - but if
they're goal is
to provide a BTC exchange platform, I'd say so far
they've been successful in
that.
jurov: i endorse b-c
too. now only if
they get it online :/
mircea_popescu: bgupta why are you arguing
to me ?
thestringpuller was saying.
thestringpuller: bgupta: you can only
trip over yourself so long until yoi fall into an abyss
bgupta: mircea_popescu: Just because
they are
totally broken, and constantly going down, you can not discount userbase enthusiasm, usage history, and first mover advantage.
TomServo: heh, if not
that - what
then?!
mod6: magic
the gathering online exchange ftw!
bgupta: asicminer argueably, same with avalon. but
they'll both need
to pivot
to satay an ongonig concern. mpex seems
to be doing well, mtgox despite issues, is here
to stay. sdice, excluding it's potential as an investment is a survivor. some of
these info sites seem
to be fine.
mircea_popescu: Lyspooner no argument
there, but you're framing
the issue.
bgupta: well like 90% of new businesses
that have nothing
to do with btc fail.. Just because it's btc related shouldn't make
that change.
mircea_popescu: poor people like it because it feels closer
to what
they want in an asset.
Lyspooner: arguments against litecoin now remind me of arguments against bitcoin
three years ago.... no one should use it because no one will use it
mircea_popescu: what, is ltc going
to do a million coin march on
the internet ?
Lyspooner: that's like your
third metaphor
that i don't find sufficient
mod6: (go figure, use wall-street
to learn how
to
trade mpex.)
mod6: and I did watch a bunch of
the video's on options
trading at CBOE.com
mircea_popescu: this is like saying
that
the per capita income of your random nigger should equal
the per capita income of your random jew.
mod6: well looks like
they have something
there... i acutally just read up on "the greeks" (options greeks) at like wikipedia (lol)
Lyspooner: with maybe some premium assigned
to
the security of
the hashing algorithms
Lyspooner: the price of a bitcoin should equal
the price of a litecoin when normalized for
the size of
the
total money supply
to exist
