maximian: and
the presence of a bitcoin casino doesn't make an abandoned/cracked bitcoin system viable again
mircea_popescu: first off, a crack would make bitcoin useless
to begin with.
mircea_popescu: a guarantee, e.g. no central bank or government
to offer a sovereign guarantee, a crack would make bitcoin illiquid and worthless. "
mircea_popescu: "Recently I wrote about how
the viability of bitcoin was limited by
the risk of
total, sudden liquidity collapse .
The argument can be summarized as saying
that without institutions whose business is
transacted in it, bitcoin suffers from a bootstrapping problem whereby a crack in
the crypto scheme would create an instant wave of counterfeit and debasement. Since
there is no entity
to restore
trust in
the currency with
kakobrekla: its not
that i dont belive
that
the price of
that shit will go up, just not as much as btc.
mircea_popescu: "BitCoin, brought
to you by
the same power elite who own
the money printing industry.
mircea_popescu: person actually
thinks
the 50 bux wordpress charged for a domain reg is why btc doubled.

BitHub: cheers for

Eduard_Munteanu: I suspect you might need something like
that
to short safely on BTCs.
Eduard_Munteanu: I actually did something like
that at some point.
Though I'd lose patience and go with more bucks at it, perhaps
that was it. :D
mircea_popescu: you don't HAVE
to use leverage you don't want now do you
Eduard_Munteanu: Stuff like USD/gold or USD/CHF is nice, but
the leverage is a bit
too high IMO. E.g. if you're betting on US inflating
their money supply.
Eduard_Munteanu: Yes, I could literally influence
the market on BVB, even on certain Cat I securities.
mircea_popescu: why
trade bizarre illiquid shit... i mean, mpex and bvb are not exactly
the same size, but not exactly
that far off.
Eduard_Munteanu: mircea_popescu: I went
through some random
trader from US,
the only
thing I complain is
the huge leverage
mircea_popescu: you wanna
trade forex, get an account on
the actual market
mircea_popescu: right. i don't understand why anyone'd bother, other
than
to hedge speciffic risks
Eduard_Munteanu: Perhaps, besides BVB is sort of a joke market compared
to other similar stuff.
mircea_popescu: Eduard_Munteanu if
that
thing ain't rigged i'm a girl and don't even know about it.\
