mircea_popescu: so, are all your btc currently invested in like stocks and shit ?
mike_c: hypothetically what do you call panacea? that's not stock and shit
mircea_popescu: doesn't have to be the personal you. the theoretical you, as described by must always eat cake
mike_c: theoretically JD isn't a security, it's bankrolling a casino.
mike_c: ok. seems like a broad definition, but then yes, i suppose the theoritcal me is invested in securities.
mike_c: to be clear (for the last time) we aren't talking about me, but what I would recommend.
mike_c: my theoritcal model would be 95% invested, yeas
mike_c: you mean it would be illiquid?
mircea_popescu: that shit where you're 95% invested at age 30 because whatever, you'll make more stiictly depends on fiat being paper.
mike_c: no, you're invested because no reason not to have your money out working for you
mircea_popescu: anyway, what i had in mind just got shot because i wasn't expecting you to be this reckless :D
mike_c: why sit around with a huge cash balance that isn't growing when there are good investment opportunities?
mircea_popescu: can't fucking argue with you without a degree in mikeity.
mircea_popescu: french aristocrat from a family that had been doing banking for centuries
mircea_popescu: recently killed himself, over the net results of the wrong answer to that question
mike_c: lots of investors jump off buildings during every crisis cuz they are dumb.
mike_c: i'm not saying put 95% of your cash in pirate. or in a variety of investments that are all actually putting their money in pirate.
mike_c: heh. pleasure doing business.
mircea_popescu: the reason the theoretical you wants to buy "shitty" investments is that buying all the good investments and only those exposes you to a class risk
mircea_popescu: ie, they're not likely to be unrelated, whether you know this or not.
mike_c: JD is not actually running some elaborate fake movie on its site while secretly running a ponzi.
mike_c: so the class risk is that all BTC bizness could go belly up?
mike_c: i propose doog and kako would still return funds.
mircea_popescu: the class risk is that in general, all the fashionable stuff in any space tends to go belly up together a lot more than a "unrelated" model would seem to indicate.
mike_c: so i should diversify into "bad returns". hmm..
BingoBoingo: Not necessarily bad returns, but... neutral returns like holding coin otherwise uninvested and other brussel sprouts.
mike_c: let's take a fiat example. warren invests in good companies with durable competitive advantages and global footprints. what's the class risk? he only invests in good companies?
mircea_popescu: the class risk is exactly that. he's now stuck derping about how "america will prevail"
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't want to be in his shoes. he's saved by old age, and by the fact that business cycles used to be slow.
mike_c: he owns lots of companies outside US, and the US companies sell more product outside america than inside. US could get wiped off map, and as long as Omaha was left standing he'd be ok.
mike_c: i wouldn't want to be him because he's trying to grow a capital base of $200B.
mike_c: plus he's 80-something
mircea_popescu: actually that's not particularly concerning, the size.
dub: US could get wiped off map.. Inshallah

TheNewDeal: in reference to the mike_c 95% invested
mike_c: so, TheNewDeal: kelly says in the simple case (1:1 bet) to bet your edge.
mike_c: if you have a 5% edge, bet 5% of your bankroll
TheNewDeal: i just read your article about kelly the other day
mike_c: but it gets more complicated with odds and with multiple wagers/investments.
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal now model a beting situation where you also have income
mircea_popescu: the more a % of your stake the income is, the more risk you take.
mircea_popescu: consider all you have is 100 btc, and jd offers you a shot at 200 btc. would you take the deal ?
TheNewDeal: its a place to dump btc that you no longer wish to own
mike_c: mircea_popescu: and i mean of course not on the betting or investing side.
mircea_popescu: mike_c now, could we say that since you're proposed to either lose all your money or win 100 btc this deal isn't very good,
mircea_popescu: but if you were proposed to either lose all your btc or win all the btc there are, then it'd be a fine shot ?
mike_c: you mean 100 vs 20999900? then yes.
TheNewDeal: but even your 2/3 chance of a 2X payout, kelly says to bet a fraction of your stake
mircea_popescu: mike_c now obviously as fair as this deal would be to you, it's still not particularly fair to jd.
mircea_popescu: in fact, the poorer you are, the further your fair deal is forsanity
mircea_popescu: EXCEPT if you're worth ~7 mn btc. then the deal is actually fair for both ends.
mike_c: fair but foolish, yes.
mircea_popescu: this is precisely why i said earlier 200bn isn't the concern. the bigger you grow, the more deals are exposed to you.
mike_c: not sure i give you that. different deals are exposed. some are removed.
mircea_popescu: as a hot guy you can still fuck all the ugly chicks you want
mircea_popescu: as a smart guy you can still say all thestupid shit you may want to say
mircea_popescu: the fact that you don't want to do it doesn't mean it's been removed.
mike_c: removed from the world of "profitable options"
mike_c: it is not profitalbe to spend my time making 50% on 2m instead of 2% on 100b.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 2 @ 0.07370061 = 0.1474 BTC [-]
mike_c: but, not to sidetrack if that wasn't the main point.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 2 @ 0.0727658 = 0.1455 BTC [-]
mike_c: only so much time in the day. it is unprofitable to spend it on endeavors that can't return a reasonable percentage on my enlarged capital base.
mike_c: why would i expend effort on something that may significantly increase 1% of my base instead of something that will only moderately increase 20% of my base? it would be unprofitable.
mircea_popescu: to put it another way : behind door A there's a bacterium. in the proper agar it doubles every half minute. behind door B there's a naked buxom beauty. you can pick either door, the prize will be entirely yours to dispose as you please.
mike_c: i am failing to map that metaphor onto our financial discussion.
BingoBoingo: Hauling trash can offer great returns, but it isn't very fun or glamorous.
mircea_popescu: mike_c well, there's this chain of pizzerias, which will be doubling each year for the next decade, yielding a bunch of pizzerias.
mircea_popescu: or, there's benkay's ocean mining conglomerate, which will gain 10% over the same decade
mike_c: well, this is kind of my point.
mike_c: with a huge capital base you don't even consider the pizzerias
assbot: [MPEX] [FT] [X.EUR] 1114 @ 0.00207449 = 2.311 BTC [-] {3}
mike_c: pizzeria = $100k. will double for 10 years yielding.. $100m
mike_c: with $200b in equity you ignore that shit.
mike_c: because it is a waste of yoru time.
mike_c: that opportunity is not yours.
mike_c: it is the opportunity of a lifetime for the guy with 100k.
mircea_popescu: it's a waste of everyone's time, just, others don't have the luxury to notice.
mircea_popescu: like you know, a dribblet of cum i spilled on the floor is something my well sated slaves ignore
mircea_popescu: but would be the opportunity of a lifetime for a random girl off twitter.
mike_c: ok :) fine. so if you assume the people worth talking about all have an enlarged capital base, then we can scope the conversation to that.
mircea_popescu: this is why i introduced the bitcoin gambling thing. to point out that the world is a snowglobe whether you are big enough to notice or not.,
mircea_popescu: and in that context, a large capital base works you no harm.
assbot: Bootygirlz.com Buxom White Whore Boobygirl sucks and fucks Groups of Hung Black Men
mthreat: buffett talks about that a lot, e.g. from 1994: "Though there are as many good businesses as ever, it is useless for us to make purchases that are inconsequential in relation to Berkshire's capital. … We now consider a security for purchase only if we believe we can deploy at least $100 million in it. Given that minimum, Berkshire's investment universe has shrunk dramatically.
mircea_popescu: he also says that he's not going to discuss his strategy given that it's valuable and easily replicated
mike_c: ok.. perhaps this will bring our lines of thought closer: in my theoretical model, someone with as much bitcoin as you should absolutely not be 95% invested.
mircea_popescu: soyou know, gotta take what the man says with a gtain of salt.
mircea_popescu: mike_c well amusingly enough i actually am holding tons of paper. just, it's to a large degree my own.
TheNewDeal: regardless, Buffet's capital is how many times greater than most people?
mircea_popescu: which brings us to the problem : because bitcoin is fixed, a 95% investment situation will be unavoidable statistically. as the value of all paper will much exceed the value of cash btc available, willy-nilly.
mircea_popescu: which is why the stability of the investment universe is actually drastically more important for bitcoin than for fiat.
mike_c: and "cash" will still be king :)

TheNewDeal: like when I look up my betting address
TheNewDeal: the way they report it now - with bets made taken as a windfall, and bets resolved as a gain, kind of hides their results of their bets

Namworld: If there's no criminal record, it's good enough. Notice I said the real world didn't care about REALITY.
Namworld: So I'm well aware of those issues... but not everyone will run proper background checks.

FabianB: kakobrekla: thanks, works great :)
Namworld: I was more hinting about technology eventually reaching brain control chip level and the technology being applied to everyone. Because let's face it 1. The brain is mechanical 2. You can control just about any sort of machine given the time to develop the approriate tools 3. Someone at some point in time will try to get it installed on everyone for selfish purposes.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 5410 @ 0.0008472 = 4.5834 BTC [+]
Namworld: Eh, misuse of new technologies for the purpose of enslavement is nothing new.
jurov: the brain is not "mechanical" in contemporary technology sense. it's wetware with myriads of interlocking electrochemical processes
Namworld: Yes, I didn't mean mechanical in that fashion. More that chemical reactions are akin to machines. Although I guess it's not good practice to speak casually like that.
jurov: do we really have such machines? i don't think so
punkman: the technology of the demagogue is as old as dirt, who needs brain-controlling computars
jurov: even neural network simulators were found to have weakness - researchers were able to imperceptibly (to humans) change the samples which the neural networks miscategorized
jurov: punkman can post-traumatic depression be cured by demagogy?
Namworld: I never said we were there yet. The brain is extremely complex. So many molecules of all kinds, complex structures.
Namworld: Simulating/scanning a live one properly and actually controlling thoughts through simulations and predictions of inputs effects would probably require computing power and an amount of energy that just isn't realistically feasible for centuries.
assbot: Tailspotting: Identifying and Profiting from CEO Vacation Trips by David Yermack :: SSRN
Namworld: But given the time to get the tools to do it, it's not unrealistic. It falls under the current known laws of physics.
Namworld: Unlike other things like wormholes and FTL through space compression, which are not yet falling within certain laws of physics and aren't thought to be likely. The conditions needed to make that happen are huge and uncertain.
jurov: well.. that's such positivist statment
jurov: tell me, what will mpoe trade for next month?
jurov: that falls under laws of physics, too :D
Namworld: We'll probably have brain control chips before we can get outside the solar system, assuming we're not wiped out by some cataclysmic event first.
Namworld: Well, I guess, but to predict that accurately, wouldn't I need to accurately simulate all brains in the world, including the Earth and all stellar input that affect those brains?
jurov: what if brain activity gets proven to be incomputable?
Namworld: Which is even worse.... when it comes to finances, we have experience of what works and doesn't, what's good signs and doesn't, and guesstimating

jurov: what's surprising?
jurov: even most 100-byte asm programs can't be determined whether they'll eventually finish and how
jurov: but hooray, let's simulate billions of neurons
punkman: I have a working reddit brain simulator
Namworld: It's a very small amount of matter compared to the universe. I'd assume we can refine technology close enough to simulate it accurately, or almost, given the resources out there.
punkman: it only ever outputs "lol" though
Namworld: I'm sure if you could simulate the whole of the system running your 100-byte asm programs, you'd be able to determine when it would eventually finish.
Namworld: It's really about simulating a complete system of interacting atoms.
Namworld: But enough distant future hypothetical scenarios, it's not like it has any usefulness, other than maybe entertaining oneself.
Namworld: It's 5:50 am, I need sleep, and I'm vastly out of topic for this channel I think, mostly rambling and talking to myself.

hdbuck: mircea_popescu hello MP, thx for the voice up, i came here with the hope you could help me apprehend that blockchain size issue (& considering it is an issue). been reading tons of articles about that and people talks about 'industrial' supernodes and/or 'restructuring' Bitcoin.. cant make up my mind whether thats good or bad tho. any inputs? :)
Namworld: Seems it has uses in compact electronics. For Bitcoin mining, you don't need compact performance, space is cheap.
Namworld: Ah, I see the part about Sapphire. The answer would be informative indeed.
benkay: hdbuck: if you can't afford the space to store the blockchain, what are you doing in btc anyways?
benkay: hdbuck: there's also SPV, but I'm not entirely certain how that actually works.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 13 @ 0.07176763 = 0.933 BTC [-] {2}
hdbuck: benkay its not my personnal storing that i am concerned with. i am just wondering if this issue wont harm bitcoin on the long run.
Namworld: The blockchain ain't all that big yet...
hdbuck: saw pretty pessimistic articles about that matter regarding the long run of Bitcoin. plus those core devs seem not to have a clue about what's going to happen - so i figured.. you guys should know better! ^^
diametric: I have to admit, its annoying getting a fresh copy of the blockchain in a new client, even though I have the space, and I have 75Mbit internet, it still takes over 2 days.
benkay: hdbuck: how can you hurt bitcoin?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 47100 @ 0.00085606 = 40.3204 BTC [+] {2}
diametric: though I've never tried any of the bootstrap methods
benkay: blockchain monotonically increases in size. this is a fact of reality.
Namworld: Well assuming storage capacity keeps increasing at current rate, and that population growth is doubling much less often than computing capacity...
hdbuck: benkay : well, some argue that the more the blochain size increase, the less people would actually download it to use bitcoins. other also argue that it would give more power to supernodes, centralising bitcoin, which was something that bitcoin was suppose to oppose. or is it just the NSA and co that will run Bitcoin once it get too big? ^^
Namworld: It might be a problem for a short while. Assuming we reach saturation of usage, it might grow almost linearly, at least compared to storage capacity growth. Even if population growth and associated usage is exponential, the exponent is much lower than storage growth.
benkay: <hdbuck> benkay : well, some argue that the more the blochain size increase, the less people would actually download it to use bitcoins // you're conflating "fewer people using btc" with "bad for btc". this has yet to be established.
Namworld: I'm somewhat expecting the blockchain size to eventually become negligible.
Namworld: The thing is current adoption rate is increasing much faster than storage capacity, so it's catching up and becoming large in today's standards.
hdbuck: benkay: ah i know you guys think of it as gold 2.0 which is not meant for the average joe to come around with but i am just not sure how this will all play out. :/
benkay: hdbuck: are you ignoring the SPV thing?
benkay: you don't need a blockchain to accept/send btc.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 16800 @ 0.00085655 = 14.39 BTC [+] {2}
Namworld: Blockchain is 18GB. It was 8 last year. We currently have not too expensive disk 4000GB hard disks.
benkay: i imagine you're just a random joe not in the web of trust, hdbuck ?
Namworld: We will probably reach usage saturation and blockchain will grow too slowly compared to storage doubling in capacity much before blockchain doesn't fit in a single recent consumer grade drive.
benkay: some day you'll need an entire DC for the blockchain. what of it?
Namworld: Yeah blockchain is big. But storage capacity and computing power is increasing very rapidely and exponentially. Much faster the the amount of worldwide transactions.
Namworld: benkay, you would eventually need an entire DC assuming computer components stopped improving every year.
BingoBoingo: benkay: Nah, storage capacities are growing too fast and have too much of a head start. It will probably fit on a single hard drive for at least another decade. It's just... Parsing the block chain as a full node will probably require more thoroughput than a single drive offers.
hdbuck: benkay: ahah yes probably. im some humble average joe not very used to that WOT thing sry.. trying to learn tho ^^
benkay: hdbuck: if you're serious about wanting to learn, start with gpg. get into the wot, get a rating, lurk or derp in here as you see fit.
benkay: no crime in being wrong, i do it all the time. there's plenty of larnin' to go around.
Namworld: I expect it to go like this -> adoption keeps going up fast, blockchain grows faster and faster, people get worried, we reach saturation of usage, blockchain growth starts looking linear, storage capacity keeps doubling every few years, people stop worrying.
Mats_cd03: seems like this is a solved problem with SPV
benkay: i'm highlighting that in a worst case scenario it's not a problem and also as Mats_cd03 and i have and keep pointing out - not a problem to begin with even.

mircea_popescu: oppose the ~wrong~ sort of centralism, ie, centralism in the hands of the more or less representative, more or less elected representatives of "people" as in, reddit derps.

mircea_popescu: jurov: lol they will find lung and liver fossilies, bones long gone? << this is likely lol
benkay: asciilifeform, dub: almost needless to point out by now, but the buenos aires public wall paintings are better than anything the NYC scene has cranked out since...forever.
benkay: "everything is better in argentinga"
mircea_popescu: btw, "coinbr requires btc addr to sign up i b'leev" << so what if it does ? once you're in you can trade with anyone else in.
benkay: yeah, jurov pointed out that it's not actually dependent on the bc
benkay: although i haven't found the signing functionality in bitc yet - mebbe Mats_cd03 makes that happen
mircea_popescu: <benkay> asciilifeform, dub: almost needless to point out by now, but the buenos aires public wall paintings are better than anything the NYC scene has cranked out since...forever. << this is true.
mircea_popescu: and women actually paint walls here, which is refreshing.
mircea_popescu: the us "scene" is like greenspun's ciclid association. all dorks.
benkay: the negros were pretty hxc back in the day, non?
mircea_popescu: benkay " let me know when it's realistic." << let me explain realistic. if there's 4k txn a second, which weigh a conservative 512 bytes each, at 512 seconds per block you get...
mircea_popescu: now, 4k txn / second is nothing if you srsly aspire to be visa.
benkay: so this implies a rather hard fork.
benkay: and weren't you just harping on the upsides to a size-constrained block? more competition for limited resources?
mircea_popescu: it just implies "accessibility" is about as dumb a thing to think about re bitcoin as you know, speeding tickets for snails.
mircea_popescu: we really don't want, need or could use more poorfags/stupidfags involved
mircea_popescu: admitting against all evidence that there even exists a distinmction between stupid and poor.

mircea_popescu: lb ground beef, 2lb nice beef steak, 6lb fresh ripe pineaple, half lb fresh figs, lb plums,1.5lb masdaam, swiss, smoked local cheese, lb cold cuts/fungs sausage,lb spinach, salad, 2lb ripe tomatoes, 1/2lb mushrooms, lb red peppers,4 ears young corn,2 artichokes,100g dry shitake,100g maraschino cherries, lb chickpeas,14oz heinz ketchup, half lb exceptionally grandiose aceitunas verdes, imported dijon 210g, cabfare 15kms
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03: benkay is a queen << ahahaha they got yo numba nao vulpes.
Namworld: 300 USD? Sounds a bit too high. Even for Canada/US
mircea_popescu: mike_c: tapes are $20 / TB. can't beat that with a stick. << quite true.
mike_c: i could only guess at the cab ride. i'm a better cook than benkay but that's about it.
Namworld: Well 15km would be what, around 30 USD? Round-trip, 60USD?
mircea_popescu: no, 15km is the whole round trip. market is like 5ish miles away
mthreat: cab fare around 150 pesos, unless stuck in lots of traffic
mthreat: not by name.. where's that one?
Namworld: ok, then... I'd put cost closer to 150-180 USD then...
mircea_popescu: worchestershire (known here as "salsa inglesa") they were out of
Namworld: Well yes, I suppose. Canada/US should have similar prices all around. Although certain products will vary by region.
mircea_popescu: the notion that the us has the same prices all around boggles my mind.
mircea_popescu: "This white paper seeks to put forth the economic and technical reasons that the digital tokens known as “AppCoins” can develop a value in the market and maintain their value over the long term, should their associated application gain adoption by users. "
Namworld: They don't, but assuming a large amount of varied goods, probably rarely more difference than 10%-15% for the same stuff.
Namworld: Barring shopping at a place with higher quality products. The outlets would need to be similar in both place.
mircea_popescu: i guess you've never lived in san diego, manhattan, downtown dc etc.
mircea_popescu: the outlets can't be similar, because podunk doesn't have jewish delis.
Namworld: Hmm, I guess I should consider that. Downtown locations will be more expensive...
mircea_popescu: and speaking of jewish deli, you should have seen this butcher get the steak off the bone.
mircea_popescu: at it for 39 years, he said when asked. "and after that long time, you'd better be good at it or else you'd better had quit long ago"
mike_c: heh, you better be good at it or you won't have any fingers left
