mircea_popescu: you highlighted me with whatever q, i gave you an answer, you don't like mine highlight whoever else next
time eh ?!
midnightmagic: And
thus are not in a position
to make such determinations regardless.
midnightmagic: It is not stated so in
the
topic, nor in
the bitcoin-assets.com page it links
to, mircea_popescu.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic
this is a logged channel. you weren't aware ?
ZedsterX: dice is up here....took about 2 minutes
to get bet addresses up
midnightmagic: I will note
that neither
the channel
topic, nor
the page
that
the
topic's sole contents (a URL) point
to, state anything about public logging.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Not
that you care about much outside your own head, but I did not, nor would I, grant you permission
to publically public anything I say in a channel which is not clearly demarked as a "Publically-logged channel."

Bowjob: well, lucif has been consistently wrong in
the past..
rikur_: if you believe in
technical analysis..
Bowjob: I have a feeling
this dude will be correct for once
mircea_popescu: implied btc market cap is larger
than
the gnp of Dominica ;
Tonga ; Micronesia, Federated States of ; Anguilla ; Cook Islands ; São
Tomé and Príncipe ; Palau ; Marshall Islands ; Kiribati ; Nauru ; Montserrat ;
Tuvalu
rikur_: never
thought of
that.
rikur_: Wow, does bitcoin already have 3x
the market cap of e-gold at it's peak?
mircea_popescu: as per
the guidance in feb statement, "Since
the BFL bet closed in March
the dividend guidance is high for next month - just
that bet alone would push profit up 300%."
mircea_popescu: you can work it out,
they're supposed
to increase in price at a fixed rate
mircea_popescu: tiberiusiv
the 10k bits are mine/kako's alternatively, as per
the contract
Bowjob: they should be betting on Yes
to make up on
their lost profits
tiberiusiv: mircea: are
the bbet asks your
tranches
Bowjob: Bitbet suggests
that BFL victims are low on morale
Bowjob: it scares me
though, if
they actually deliver
there goes my profits
mircea_popescu: so wait. luke went
to visit bfl, where he was in fact presented with a box of fans ?
Bowjob: I
thought I brought it up earlier lol
Bowjob: what you can do, is wait
till your bitcoin stash become so valuable,
that you can buy a member of
the congress with it
Bowjob: it could get sticky when
the gov recognize bitcoin as money
Bowjob: and
taxes, will be optional
Bowjob: thats
the
thing. if you use
the coins anonymously, its just like income
Bowjob: you dont have
to if you just keep
the coins
Bowjob: and
then
they
tax your income
rikur_: How would you be
taxed for mined coins?
Bowjob: you're missing
the point
Bowjob: and
they will charge money
to hold BTC
Bowjob: is
they are offering a "storage" solution
rikur_: coinlab has a very unfortunate logo with
the "bubbles" :)
tiberiusiv: the benefit
to canada is you could say your proceeds came from online gambling
rikur_: Wait. If I have BTC in mt.gox, will it be sold
to coinlab? or moved under
their jurisdiction? I'm currently in Canada.
tiberiusiv: bowjob:
they may not but when you withdraw funds
the recieving bank does
Bowjob: oh. but
they dont hand in
the info
to irs dont
they
tiberiusiv: bowjob:
taxes were never optional even at mtgox
Bowjob: have you seen
their buy 1m and sell 1m worth of bitcoin button?
Bowjob: basically,
they are "legitimizing" bitcoin
Bowjob: but CoinLab will report it
to
the irs
Bowjob: Up until now, if you have half a braincell, you can choose
to pay
taxes or not
mircea_popescu: Guest7560 it's .7 and prev
that have an issue. not exactly a bug. just a complex db issue.
Guest7560: mircea_popescu: You mean until nobody uses
the 0.8 version anymore
that has
the bug
that caused
the block
to be rejected?
Bowjob: Taxes won't be optional anymore if you
trade with coinlab
Guest7560: Tell me about
that coinlab/mtgox US/CA story
Guest7560: I know, but
that's over now, so I wouldn't expect a drop so many days after its over and fixed
Guest7560: Bowjob: I
think
the fork
thing is over now and everybody relaxed, no?
Bowjob: america and canada wont be able
to
trade on mt gox anymore
rikur_: mircea_popescu:
thanks!
Bowjob: though I'm waiting for march 22 and
the days after
that..
mircea_popescu: Guest7560 just
the revert
to mean
theory may be enough. it went up fast.
Guest7560: So anyone has an idea why
the majority of
traders
thinks btc will go down
to 39?
Bowjob: you are not
the first.
rikur_: Bowjob:
that's a very distracting nickname
Bowjob: what are
the green lines for?
mircea_popescu: option
trade volume varies A LOT.
two weeks ago was 20k
mircea_popescu: Bowjob for instance consider O.BTCUSD.C750T. it costs like .05 btc. if you buy it, you imply price goes
to like 76+
mircea_popescu: Bowjob you can buy a very expensive call and make
the sentiment spike on low volume, i
think is what happened.
Guest7560: Is
there a way
to get
the oix when mpex.co website is down?
Bowjob: did people suddenly expect BTC
to raise
to
the moon?
Bowjob: in
the middle. wtf is
that
Bowjob: I don't understand
that huge red sword
Guest7560: So while mpex site was down
the last couple days (ddos I
think), I heard
that
trading was still going in irc
Bowjob: That means
the OIX is pretty accurate
mircea_popescu: there's a graph in
the article on
trilema showing it against
the actual price
mircea_popescu: it predicted some events in
the past and failed
to rpedict others
Guest7560: I
think I've read on reddit somewhere
that it never failed in
the past..?
mircea_popescu: it's a pretty sophisticated measure, if you
think about it
mircea_popescu: so
they aren;t really putting
their btc where
their mouth is very much
mircea_popescu: of
the ~5k btc on
the line, only 8.5% belongs
to
the people expecting 57.59
