pete_dushenski: "Why would you bet on no 3 separate times after the bet was satisfied yes?" << i wonder the same thing
assbot: The Bitcoin Dumping Charade | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski
pete_dushenski: basically, this is the usg's attempt to "kill" bitcoin
pete_dushenski: regulation ain't gonna cut the mustard, so why not print their way out like they always do?
assbot: godovo +v failed; L1: 0, L2: 0
pete_dushenski: but not before we all write a few more articles, sweat a few more bullets, and watch as the salvos wizz by
godovo: so can't this be considered a pathetic attempt?
pete_dushenski: depends where your own personal bar for pathetic lies, i suppose
godovo: I mean, they know the early holdings are there and not going anywhere
pete_dushenski: they might, but again, they have no choice but to do what they're doing
cazalla: pete_dushenski, why be bitcent racist, i only bet bitcents :\
ben_vulpes: the best part of python is the "if this blows up"-driven control flow.
pete_dushenski: but that would be rather out of sorts for a nation who imagines themselves the most powerful and important in the world
godovo: what happens if they succeed to kill it's "mass appeal" tho? be it via insane price swings (the volatility argument), or by having big, known "holders" dumping big time?
godovo: the large early holdings will not move, yes, but at the same "redditors" will be hesitant to buy in
godovo: justusranvier: is it so?
justusranvier: Bitcoin doesn't need to do anything but continue to exist in order to win.
justusranvier: The central bank-issued currencies of the world are committing coordinated suicide.
godovo: I thought the current market price is the reflection of exactly that
godovo: it will certainly exist, but at what market cap?
BingoBoingo: The current market shit seems to be an effort to make "paper" BTC a thing like it was at Gox, and well, cycles repeat themselves
justusranvier: Do you have ADD or something? Zoom out, switch to a log scale, and be patient.
pete_dushenski: "Japan GDP Plunges 6.8%, Consumption Down 19.2%, Private Investment Down 9.7%"
justusranvier: It took almost 2 years to recover from the 2011 Goxxing, and the decline was far more severe than this selloff.
justusranvier: BingoBoingo: No matter how often you tell people they don't actually own Bitcoins if somebody else controls the private keys, they don't seem to listen.
justusranvier: pete_dushenski: Right, and it hasn't even been a year yet. Too soon to start panicking.
godovo: justusranvier: I'm not yield hungry - it's just that I don't understand what is happening. are they trying to kill it, or jump the train?
justusranvier: There might not be a unified "they" all acting with a single purpose
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: for people who're used to keeping hundreds of thousands of dollars at the broker and uncomfortable with their own computer security it's a not unreasonable position.
ben_vulpes: doesn't mean it's not going to fuck them.
ben_vulpes: ;;8ball write another python script or catch up on logs?
gribble: The outlook is hazy, please ask again later.
gribble: The answer is a resounding no.
justusranvier: THe medium term solution to possible price manipulation is to get the bitcoins off the exchanges and web wallets
mircea_popescu: godovo> so can't this be considered a pathetic attempt?
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> cazalla: i guess it's more than most people wager << actually average is like 1btc
mircea_popescu: <godovo> what happens if they succeed to kill it's "mass appeal" tho? be it via insane price swings (the volatility argument), or by having big, known "holders" dumping big time? << bitcoin does not, never had and never will have mass apeal.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i was more comparing cazalla to people with no bitcoin lol
mircea_popescu: in richard's words, "there's a mass that follows me because it follows anything that moves."
godovo: but your whole world domination thing is centered around it gaining huge value and the fiats dying off - how can it happen without the mass appeal?
mircea_popescu: the bar for the mass temporarily thinking something appeals is incredibly low. take nikki minaj.
mircea_popescu: not with the elites that were, mind you, the circular "elite because elite because elite"

justusranvier: godovo: When the masses in the G7 countries experience a level of adversity compared to that of, for example, Argentina you won't need to explain to them why Bitcoin is important any more.
justusranvier: In general the people who you think about when you consider mass appeal will be the last ones to get into Bitcoin
mircea_popescu: justusranvier you know contrary to what you may think people here are actually not feeling any adversity.
mircea_popescu: here's an example : my buenos aires fanta screwdriver.
TheNewDeal: hmph. I'm a regular derp and I'm just beginning
mircea_popescu: 6 kgs fresh oranges (35 pesos) -> 1.5liters juice ; 1.5l mineral water (15 pesos) ; fine local cognac, 700ml (80 pesos).
TheNewDeal: today marks a glorius occasion, which is one to get in below my cost average
ben_vulpes: in college i used to get the girlies pants off with cheap red wine and fanta.
mircea_popescu: justusranvier argentina. i moved here, didn't you know ?
kakobrekla: 6 kgs fresh oranges (35 pesos) -> 1.5liters juice ; 1.5l mineral water (15 pesos) ; fine local cognac, 700ml (80 pesos) ; holes in the wall (unfixable)
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i could fix em for about half what it costs in eeurope. thing is... why bother ?
mircea_popescu: i tell you, "buenos aires" is no fucking joke. air is actually sweet.
justusranvier: But for sure, the people who've lived there a while have gone through adversity. They've had a currency crash every decade or so.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: We'd get punchbowls, a handle of gin, and mix with Orange Juice and Rainbow Sherbet
justusranvier: Because they've experienced it, they know how to adapt.
mircea_popescu: by this scale, a week in new york is a week in hell, the circle of horn rape
justusranvier: I've heard that in general people there are a lot less squeemish about routing around bad government policy via black markets.
mircea_popescu: i pay in cash, get the vat back as a kickback, it's wunderbar.

godovo: why did you move there, mircea_popescu? why argentina?
godovo: or a window into how west will look like (financially) in a few years?
justusranvier: mircea_popescu: The Warlord is a rather obscure movie. I'm surprised to see that reference.
godovo: Timisoara is a good place, too
godovo: is it for the long-term, the move? I thought you were just traveling
justusranvier: Funny thing about The Warlord is the younger brother is made out to be a villian and Charleton Heston made out to be heroic, however the younger brother is right every step of the way.
justusranvier: Had he just listened, the entire movie would have been moot
justusranvier: The love interest gets married to a guy who she grew up with in the same house. Warlord refuses to allow the marriage on the grounds of incest. Problem averted.
mircea_popescu: people who are fundamentally right get misrepresented as being utterly wrong because science progresses generally within a paradigm
mircea_popescu: justusranvier nah. 1) it wasn't incest by the legal definition they were using ; 2) warlord is no cleric.
justusranvier: Still, they needed his permission to get married. Means he could have denied it and saved a lot of death and property destruction.
mircea_popescu: justusranvier well the problem is... he couldn't have. this is like saying "usg could have fixed btc in 2010, saved a lot of 2014-16 headaches"
justusranvier: It's a story about how sitting on the fence is the worst possible outcome.
justusranvier: Had the protagonist had simply been ruthless and calculating about getting what he wanted, he could have done so without provoking a revolt. If he had decided to do the right thing, he'd have kept it in his pants and avoided the entire crisis.
justusranvier: Moral of the story: If you're going to be a good person or an evil person, at least put in some reasonable effortwhichever option you choose.
mircea_popescu: had you known which is evil and which is good, you could have saved a lot of headache.
decimation: like the non-criminals who failed to murder hitler before he became Hitler
justusranvier: Well "good" would be, "don't be a warlord". Since he'd already decided to adopt the "might makes right" standard of ethics by being in that profession, he would have been better off staying consistent.
mircea_popescu: the norman period warlord is not exactly a might makes right stand.
mircea_popescu: it's more like a reverberation of the constantine emperors "holy host" approach to battle.
mircea_popescu: ie, in being blessed by christ he will always be mighty enough.
justusranvier: so you're saying they also incorporated superstition and psyops into their arsenal besides brute force

nkuttler: poles are awesome, and brits are envious
decimation: like, why would you be sad if you were overrun with hard-working white people? Your daughters might marry them and have white babies?
nkuttler: and i thought you were being racist
decimation: I guess it depends what you mean by the word "racist"
nkuttler: white babies sounds white powerish to me
nkuttler: but then, almost everybody here is "white" anyway, so what do i know..
decimation: I suspect the median white father would desire to have a white grandchild, does that make him racist?

mircea_popescu: <decimation> I suspect the median white father would desire to have a white grandchild, does that make him racist? <<< this is very us/midwestern. i don't think a majority of europeans identify in those terms or specifically care.
mircea_popescu: telling the mobster guy that "moors are niggers" and they did so much fucking with sicillian women they "changed the bloodline forever" bothers the dude mostly cause he's murican.
nkuttler: mircea_popescu: are you polish? ;)
mircea_popescu: trixisowned you can trivially obtain the message from the signature : create all the combinations of letters and test.
nkuttler: yeah, i was replying in the wrong window...
mircea_popescu: if you're lucky and he uses the smallcaps convention, it's something like 30 ^ length.
decimation: mircea_popescu: while the european grandfather might 'not care', do you think he would prefer that the UK would be overrun by say, turks? or west african arabs?
assbot: Big labia appreciation location...
mircea_popescu: decimation the problem in the proposition is the overrun part, not the ethnicity part.
mircea_popescu: he wouldn't want the uk to be overrun by manchester dweebs either.
Mexual: when they finnaly get off welfare and into a low paid job, they find poles doing it better, and feel dejected
decimation: that's a good point. yeah, my impression of the modern uk is pretty which trash
mircea_popescu: decimation that may also have a lot to do with you decoding difference as "white trash". just because the lassies drink themselves blind each weekend doesn't mean they ain't got class, in the uk sense of that term :D
decimation: heh yeah the 'world stereotype' of the average uk subject being a druken lout seems pretty accurate
decimation: I guess things haven't changed too much, in the past the nobility would gather in country homes and drink themselves silly while shooting various animals

usagi: I've never tried it although it's supposed to be a delicacy.
Mexual: do you want to come to my house any try some? im not certified
usagi: What's a mexual? Is that like, someone who only has sex with Mexican people? I'm not biased, I'm just curious about different people and cultures.
Mexual: no im just a guy who cuts fish as a hobby and sustinence
Mexual: i just happen to be in mexico presently
usagi: ah so da ne yo ta da.
Mexual: if from australia, i have a big imagination, and many computers
Mexual: you're not really japanese
usagi: I didn't say I was Japanese.
usagi: I do like to study Japanese though. I think it's a very beautiful language phonetically.
Mexual: you may not know thos, but i have been likened to you casually
Mexual: i prefer chinese culture
usagi: Yeah I used to like Chinese culture a lot, still do, but the recent trends in Chinese linguistics have put me off a bit
Mexual: however i think the changes are only good
usagi: Well according to studies, literacy rates have not improved among literate people.
usagi: Meaning, among those who are literate, they are not "more literate" now than they were before the changes.
Mexual: your statistics are bullshit
Mexual: thats a little ausralian for you
usagi: My statistics? Sorry, I was quoting J.E. Dew :)
Mexual: the thing you say first is what peopl hear
usagi: So who do you follow in linguistics then?
Mexual: what do you know of japan?
usagi: Cuz im just saying, if you aren't following the latest trends in linguistics, then of course you wouldn't know about the studies surrounding literacy in China.
usagi: In that case I would rather talk about something else, my time is rather limited
Mexual: do tell us brother usagi
usagi: Are you offering to pay me to educate you?
Mexual: i would like to hear what you have to say
usagi: Well like I said my time is limited, I don't really "do" education of this sort, but I've already mentioned J.E. Dew, look up "6000 Chinese Characters", it mentions literacy trends over several corpus studies like BLI and CYY done in China.

usagi: For example, when tahoe-ldap lost their privkey people here were saying how sad it was. They lost over 300 btc
usagi: But when I lost my privkey (along with approximately zero btc) I was called a criminal and a thief who had absconded with user's bitcoins
usagi: It's a bit of a joke, actually. Some scammer turns up? Oh, must be the next usagi.

punkman: usagi: what do I care, I'm just here for the lulz
punkman: usagi, so you didn't lose any BTC?
Mexual: if teflons is non stick, how do they get it on the saucepan?
usagi: punkman; No, there were no bitcoins in the address. Later on I sent .15 of personal funds to the address by accident (instead of to my vps host), bit of a facepalm there but nothing serious

wywialm: ben_vulpes: from S.WOL Listing Agreement "4.2. The liability of any person or entity party to this contract, either direct, indirect, incidental, tortious, punitive, exemplary or otherwise shall in no case exceed such sums as may be proven that person or entity has in fact received through the working of this contract. Signatories and investors agree to indemnify and hold harmless any
wywialm: party from any claims that may exceed such sums. "
wywialm: this probably serves as a partial answer to my question to MP
mircea_popescu: seems to me limited liability is not directly involved in the discussion. it's true that there's at work in the fiat world this mechanism whereby liability is limited automatically, in order to conceptually prop the corporation.
mircea_popescu: we don't need that mechanism, nor does it have much value really. without it, limited liability survives just fine.
mircea_popescu: a fine example of how problematic this is : financial services, because they are companies, are also unliable. meanwhile, medical services, which aren't companies, are liable. the result ? rampant financial speculation exploiting the public resources of local authorities, and unaffordable healthcare.
mircea_popescu: what if limited liability weren't improperly tied to the notion of corporation ? like it worked in the soviet union : medical practice is unliable, and so cheap and affordable.
mircea_popescu: of course they also made financial speculation liable in excess of sanity, which didn't work out for them on a macro scale, but the point remains : there's no good reason to exploit the concept of limited liability as a sort of exclusive monogamous relationship with the company.
mircea_popescu: the latter's too ugly, or as the kids today say, has no smv.
mircea_popescu: and also, had you asked this on teh blog post, this comment'd have ended up on the blogpost. now it;s on the log. if some guy reads the post six months from now, i'll remember it, but vaguely, and i'll say "it's in the logs". how does that help him ?
mircea_popescu: so remember folks! whenever you ask here about a trilema post instead of asking in that post's comment section, you are helping communism.

justusranvier: mircea_popescu: It's an idea for a tool designed more for in-person, non currency trades
justusranvier: If you're going to speak about credit though, as far as I know I was the first person to suggest ising GPG-signed ratings for Bitcoin trading.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing wrong with seeing something you like and trying to understand how it works, or implement it. there is however something wrong with seeing something you like and imagining you invented it. that something is that in exchange for the stroking of vanity, it also isolates you from the exact people you don't really want to be isolated from, id est, those people who actually do the things you like.
mircea_popescu: well that's what it is, this reads to me like someone joined b-a and went "you know what ? ima make an altcoin!!1"
assbot: List of honest traders.
justusranvier: I lost the password forum account, and don't have the email it was linked to any more. I may have an archived PGP key around somewhere that was linked to it though.
mircea_popescu: anyway. yes, that's the concept, it's not particularly novel or revolutionary, even if everyone from facebook to amazon ratings implements it very very badly.
