jurov: eskimobob, i wrote my pionts/questions
to btctalk
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller don't really intend
to update it, maybe make another dec 2013
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: are you going
to add
this
to
the drama
timeline?
mircea_popescu: and i'm not
terribly enchanted with piuk either, he won't list it but he sells stakes
to random asshats ?
pigeons: then its not so cool
that he abused his pull with a seperate company
to check on
the dude's address
pigeons: my biggest problem is
that he freaked out over 4 btc
mircea_popescu: not only is he dishonest, but he wants
to lie about it.
smickles: i can be part of
this occupy mpex for 29.06 more months
jurov: nothing about eskimo. just
that he despises IPOs with
tiered pricing
that enable
trading, cause what if
the first investors resell, blabla... he's funny
mircea_popescu: so basically
that idiot ver just sunk blockchain.info ?
smickles: er, nix
that =, replace with a +
smickles: at
this rate, i'll soon be in opposition :P
smickles: thestringpuller: damn man it's worse
than one percent, mircea_popescu is
the 5%!
mircea_popescu: noway. it says clearly on
the return slips, i am
the 94%
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller it makes pretty decent web stuff afaik. what can i
tell ya.
mircea_popescu: smickles i was just quoting. i could make
that list five meters long
smickles: mircea_popescu: you forgot
the 'waaah, mpex regularly makes people hundreds of btc, but I
think derivitives are evil for no good reason and I didn't
take
the
time
to understand
that bond
thingy, so i'm jelly'
pigeons: i just learned EskimoBob doesn't have
tourrette's ;)
mircea_popescu: jesus
this bitcoinstuff is ocmplex. anyone with
the
tipping set up want
to send one for me ?
mircea_popescu: ok,
that guy made my day. how do you
tip people on reddit ?
mircea_popescu: waaah, mpex is charging a fee for signup as if it was a real business but I want
to slop 0.05 btc back and forth on options and 30 btc
to open account is ridicuous....
mircea_popescu: waaah, bitcoin should be
taken seriously as currency...
mircea_popescu: waaah, mpex uses proven encryption but gpg is hard and
the submit screen is plain...
mircea_popescu: waaah, slick-xchange got 0day'd via cornerrounder.js and all
the accounts are locked/stolen...
mircea_popescu: I don't understand why people rag on mpex.
They complain about btc related businesses getting compromised.
They complain about bots manipulating
the pricing and "fake" walls on mtgox. mpex doesn't have any of
that crap and people bitch about it - I don't get it.
jcpham: sorry i only skimmed
the headline
pigeons: have no fear for atomic energy none of dem canna stoppa da
time
smickles: mircea_popescu:
the auction part, yeah, but since it changed, i've been unsure
mircea_popescu: for
the record,
that
twitter is run by a webhost for whom I was providing a honeypot address.
mircea_popescu: smickles but more's
the point, were you aware of
the sales plan for s.mpoe ?
smickles: dammit mircea_popescu be more subtle,
the whole 'freeing ourselves a bit more' can go on indefinitely, we'd never actually get
to
the point of freeing koreans :P
mircea_popescu: i ain't pissing for anyone else and neither am i freeing
them.
smickles: thestringpuller: we ought
to free ourselves a bit more before we get
too concerned about koreans
mircea_popescu: smickles you know, it was driving
the romanians insane cause romanian incomes are really small and i was making a
ton with
the blog
mircea_popescu: by getting
the biggest guns, aiming
them well and sticking
to it.
EskimoBob: thestringpuller: who
told you he is rich?
mircea_popescu: <smickles> because of
the control you _can_ exert on
the price <<< if I have 500k btc i CAN exert
the same exact control on
the price as if I had 1bn shares.
smickles: what is
that 2weiX going on about anyway? 5% cut? 10% cut? do
they not realize you essentiall have a 95% cut?
smickles: oh, and mircea_popescu even considering
the quality of
the source (investopedia): "
smickles: mircea_popescu: unless, of course, you have made a statemtent
that you don't intend
to ever sell some of
that available 50% (the remaining 45% iirc)
smickles: so
there you have free float market cap followed by implied valuation
smickles: yeah,
taking a strict definition, only 50% of shares are 'locked in'
smickles: one could consider
the free float
to be 50% of shares
tho
smickles: for example,
the S&P 500 only considers free float market cap
mircea_popescu: but
the presumption is false, which is why im writing. brb.
smickles: but considering
that you own (and presumably won't sell) ~95% of shares,
those 95% wouldn't be considered for a lot of market cap valuation purposes
smickles: I
think
that both forms of valuation are important
smickles: because of
the control you _can_ exert on
the price
mircea_popescu: if i sell you one acre out of a 10 acre plot of land would you propose
the value of
the plot is based on your acre ?
smickles: mircea_popescu: well, I
too
think it would be better
to value based on
the free float
EskimoBob: jcpham:
there is plenty of
twitchy asshats around
