mircea_popescu: vampireb yes, 100mn shares, but owner may never sell more
than half
vampireb: i
thought
there were 100 mil of shares, not 50 mil?
BitHub: their angle is, its a new
thing called bitcoin, explaining it
to people
mircea_popescu: vampireb no,
they pay for
the whole 50mn (which obviously 37% whatever goes right back
to erik)
BitHub: i have
to
tell marketing people how
to do
their job?
mircea_popescu: BitHub i understand
that part.
the problem here is, bitcoin selling is different from most anything else.
BitHub: in any business mircea when you have a new product or something you hire a sales
team or marketing
team
that goes out as pimps out whatever you want
mircea_popescu: vampireb 2k for 10mn last month. by
the looks of it 5-10k for
the whole 50mn
this month
mircea_popescu: im pushing it in some ways, many other people are
too, prolly more
than me
mircea_popescu: BitHub it's a
tough question he got. what even constitutes btc marketing ?
BitHub: professional
trollers for only 2btc a week
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves do you consider stuff like
trolling sa bitcoin marketing ?
Ukto: BitHub: yeah I will be pushing
the api for kako
to set it up in a few days
BitHub: oh, a bf
ticker would be so friggen good
mircea_popescu: looking at dooglus' graphs no wonder
the fucking whale bought 1mn sdice
today
mircea_popescu: do you have any idea how inconvenient it is
to not check
the various stuff going on over
there ?
Ukto: I have been
trying
to wrap up
the new BF features for a couple days now
mircea_popescu: Ukto you haxxor you, when do i see bf
ticker in here already!
BitHub: time
to pay daddy a lil dividend
Ukto: No
thanks, I'm good MP
Namworld: try BTCT.co, I have a BBET passthrough
there already
BitHub: oh must of been someone else i was
talking
to
mircea_popescu: it pays 1% on referrals, if you get someone
to bet 100 btc
that's 1btc for you.
mircea_popescu: BitHub
these other folks
think it's maybe oversold by now.
they may be right.
BitHub: sooo,
ThickAsThieves i'm
thinking
to send some btc
to bitfunder
to get it ready
mircea_popescu: seems senseless
to me. but
then again, im just an asshole so.
mircea_popescu: their metaphorical blood fattening
the metaphorical earth.
mircea_popescu: that's
the
thing. 1k kids with a dream
today, 1k corpses on
the metaphorical business field of battle, next year.
mircea_popescu: i got fuckall knows how many btc, if you kill yourself
trying a project
that doesn't have a chance you loose, my btc gains.
mircea_popescu: yes, i agree it's a good
thing. do you know who it;s a good
thing for ?
BitHub: i
think
that's a good
thing about a free market, you do have alot of cowboy's and stuff but i
think
throught
the years alot of
those guys get weeded out
mircea_popescu: and don't get pissed off at me, i'm honestly not
that involved either way.
mircea_popescu: THEN you're in a position
to know why
the
thing you're
trying atm won't
take off.
mircea_popescu: "they have
to start somewhere" ? how about
they start by working
their butt off for something
that's already here
mircea_popescu: dumbasses make ripple. either of
them spent
the
time
to get
the experience ? no
THEY KNOW
mircea_popescu: the biggest problem is
that nobody wants
to start small.
BitHub: got
to start somewhere
tho, i
think
the biggest problem is all
the amatuers and scammers
mircea_popescu: they aren't going
to compete. bitcoin seems new, but seriously. it
takes a lot more
than
three kids.
mircea_popescu: this isn't a
team.
this is a group of young people, enthusiasts, whatever.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves let's face it, ok ? all
these
teams are a guy with MAYBE 10k liquid
to his name, a freind from school and maybe some chick either of
them or both are diddling.
ThickAsThieves: i'm just
trying
to
think of examples of how btc world might operate like porn or such
BitHub: but i do
try and give back
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves baby,
there's already how many of
those ? 4 ? 5 ?
BitHub: okey :) i know what you're saying
tho because i haven't been able
to get any help really
BitHub: mircea i
try and help out in
the community and answer as many questions as i can, i give away alot of btc donations n stuff just for fun
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
take a mature market, like say porn. or books. or whatever you will.
mircea_popescu: yea,
that's
the other
thing, everyone and his
team. it's insanity.
BitHub: but i will be marketing and promoting bitcoin on
the side
BitHub: i'm paying for my own marketing
team
mircea_popescu: right.
that's exactly
the problem.
there's 1000 people who all
think
they're cowboys.
mircea_popescu: im prolly going way
too strongly at
this, i don't mean you personally.
BitHub: because i want
to push my own
things in my own market here
mircea_popescu: well
then why aren't you pushing
things
that are already
there ?
mircea_popescu: this is what i'm saying. everyone
thinks
they should develop.
BitHub: i was just about
to purchase bitbet.com but
the guy pulled out of
the auction
mircea_popescu: same
thing goes for about everyone. just make more services, as if
that's where it's at.
mircea_popescu: cause you
think you're
too good
to make money or something, i'd guess.
Bugpowder: Security
team would be better idea
mircea_popescu: well, why exactly are you doing
that instead of earning referals on bitbet ?
BitHub: i was
thinking mircea why don't more bitcoin companies just hire sales
team
mircea_popescu: it needs exactly
the reverse : like 3 devs and 1k+ promoters.
BitHub: i may offer a bet on
the australian election
tho as our first
test
BitHub: so we're just preparing for
that
BitHub: our first big
test is
the fifa world cuo
ThickAsThieves: No problem with BTCTco, I use it
too, but aesthetically it's a little busier
BitHub: enables you
to bet on sporting events or social bets etc, at proper betting odds
Namworld: What's
the problem with BTCT.co?
BitHub: i was just speaking with
them,
they are going
to offer bbet shares
BitHub: confirm bitfunder is going
to offer it
BitHub: bitfunder is just easy
to use
BitHub: they said yesterday
they got some announcements coming soon
