06:42:41 jcpham Sustained 20 plus dollar weekend.
06:42:43 Bugpowder 2.5k got eaten. 2k disappeared
06:42:51 Namworld Eh. Either way...
06:42:58 mircea_popescu Yup, 20 looks like it.
06:43:31 Namworld Seems like alot of activity on SD aaannnd lots of BTC being bought. At this rate SD will own 90% of all bitcoins.

06:43:46 Bugpowder Lol nah. Whales are not down THAT much.
06:43:58 mircea_popescu No see, the beauty of it ? They distribute it back out, which is the other half of the mpex advantage.
06:44:07 Namworld It's an hyperbole but yeah
06:44:07 mircea_popescu
06:44:17 mircea_popescu On one hand, bettor knows sd can raise *any* sum to pay out. On the other hand, BTC it makes as profit is not retained but pumped back out, so it never chokes the market.

06:57:55 mircea_popescu It might actually touch 50.

06:58:05 mircea_popescu Basically wtf, I can't add option lines as fast as the market moves.
06:58:06 Bugpowder 20 is not a point of stability dude. That is a bifurcation point.
06:58:21 mircea_popescu Bugpowder exactly. It decides : 50s or teens.
06:58:25 Bugpowder Well.... you can add them tomorrow.

07:21:52 Bugpowder I was watching.
07:21:53 mircea_popescu I think it was like that one time sdice sold for 18.
07:21:58 Bugpowder That trade never happened. The candle formed and then the top got added later.
07:22:06 mircea_popescu Bugpowder maybe the feed isn't all that good.
07:22:38 Bugpowder Yah. Who knows. But all the asks would ahve been cleaned out to 19. And they were only cleand to 18.80.
07:22:55 mircea_popescu I would strongly suspect the feeds are shit actually. Since nobody involved even knows what a feed is.
07:23:17 Bugpowder I can't tell what is happening without the dings.

07:28:24 mircea_popescu Seems like a gamble.

07:28:28 Bugpowder Dude. You pay the same for 18-20. Did you really need it NOW rather than in 5 minutes.
07:28:51 Namworld Who bought those?
07:29:10 Bugpowder The 160s are the best priced actually.
07:29:11 mircea_popescu Yeah good point.
07:29:20 Namworld I bought 1800 C170T earlier... Instead of C160, they were better priced but I'd have gotten less.
07:29:40 Bugpowder I bot 1000 C160 last thursday on the first candle. Then 1400 more. Also short 400 P200s. And some C140s short (like 100 contracts).
07:30:05 Namworld Good call.
07:30:15 mircea_popescu That doesn't sound too bad. Wait short c140 ?!
07:30:23 Bugpowder Well... from early in the month.

07:32:03 mircea_popescu Quite possible.
07:32:08 Namworld If the guy has lots of BTC...
07:32:26 mircea_popescu Namworld well if you look at it, the whole set is 200 btc. Like a S.DICE bet.

07:38:08 Namworld Hmm, selling. If it goes down back even 2-3 BTC, that seller will bite his fingers.

07:44:14 mircea_popescu Hm is it stabilizing at 18.5 ?
07:44:28 jcpham Looks like it.
07:44:37 mircea_popescu Not a bad price after all.
07:44:48 jcpham Sort of ridiculous to predict. Not a bad days work.
07:45:00 mircea_popescu Watch it flashcrash lol.
07:45:07 jcpham Doh.
07:45:39 mircea_popescu Truth is tho, there's an asymmetry at work. If price goes up it's much easier to add BTC to exchanges to quench it than if it goes down and you have to send wires and wait for a week. So upswings more likely to be accurate than downswings.

07:47:13 mircea_popescu Bugpowder I dunno I never did it myself. Sorta guessing. Ever tried one the other way around btw?
07:47:26 Bugpowder ACH was slow. I was never able to withdraw successfully. Also I couldn't deposit either from BoFA. They wouldn't wire the money to that account.
07:47:42 mircea_popescu Heh.
07:47:44 dust-otc Wires take ~3 days international.

07:52:50 mircea_popescu Heh.
07:52:52 Bugpowder Dude! How much is the deposit on those?
07:53:15 mircea_popescu Bugpowder i dunno, 2.xk a pop ?
07:53:45 Bugpowder so around 20,000
07:53:58 mircea_popescu Boys, I have a theory, and i doubt you'll like it. I think MPEx quenched the rally. Basically people have been adding ~7-8k of notional BTC exposure every 10 minutes for the past half hour, and since then... well... not much action on gox. If these trades unwound there it'd have pushed volume over 100k I guess.
07:54:08 Bugpowder It comes in bursts.
07:54:28 jcpham Not really a bad thing if you ask me. Something should slow those trades a bit when it gets like that.
07:54:45 mircea_popescu jcpham I guess that's a point yeah.
07:54:58 jcpham It's like you said you can feed it coins and control the rise. Or maybe you can't anymore... today has been wild followed bya week of wild.
07:55:25 mircea_popescu I'm not trading in the underlying market. And even if I were, fuck me if I'd sell BTC in a blowup. That's a recipe for going bankrupt.
07:55:41 jcpham O.
07:56:02 Bugpowder Yah. Who wants to sell at 20 with a decent shot at 50.
07:56:58 mircea_popescu Anyway, if anyone cares max pain is like 17.8 or some shit.
07:57:24 jcpham And what did we start the day at ? 14? 14.24?
07:57:37 Bugpowder No.
07:57:40 mircea_popescu 17.0 ?
07:57:47 mod6 Yeah 17.
07:57:48 jcpham Something like that i where i started keeping track.
07:57:50 mircea_popescu Ya but was like last week.
07:57:52 jcpham Am I day behind ? I'm tired, no more talk.
07:58:12 Bugpowder U are a week behind, 14 was last thurs.

08:06:04 Namworld Maybe he just has so much coins, he just HAS to buy these calls/sell these puts or else it's too slow. Then he buys a large stack on MtGox and poof.
08:06:30 Bugpowder If he has 30,000BTC he can afford the 160s. Hmmm yeah. If he has 30,000 BTC on MPEX he could have 30,000 BTC worth of currency to make plays on Gox too.
08:07:00 Namworld He might want quantity over current value.

08:10:15 mircea_popescu Or maybe he just has a diff price target in mind. If say he thinks it really does go to 50 makes sense to spend 50 per call rather than 100 per call. Even if the strike is 1 dollar less.

08:11:10 Namworld There he goes again...
08:11:14 mircea_popescu Moreover, if he's for whatever reason short usd, like having taken in btc obligations and usd assets, he HAS to insure against the 50 price. And 5% per BTC may seem like good insurance.

09:04:18 Bugpowder Peed.
09:04:21 Bugpowder Checked phone.
09:04:26 mircea_popescu BOOM.
09:04:28 Bugpowder Now I have the capital for the calls. FUCKING A. The stink bid strategy works again.
09:04:42 mircea_popescu Haha wait, you bought cheap sdice ?

09:04:52 mircea_popescu You sold ? A ok.
09:05:10 Bugpowder How many went off at .001 ?
09:05:18 mircea_popescu There were 15k at .0008.
09:05:30 mod6 Snipe.
09:05:31 Namworld Someone probably reversed price and amount on that S.DICE. Wanted to sell 50000 @ 500000 for example but sold 500 000 at 50000 and ate all the bids.
09:05:34 Bugpowder Mother fukkker. Yeah.
09:05:48 mircea_popescu Namworld you think ?
09:05:55 Namworld I'd guess so...
09:05:57 Bugpowder Definitey.
09:05:58 mircea_popescu You know what this is actually possible. O wow poor fucker.
09:06:08 Namworld Same stupid shit happened on GLBSE, except almost daily.
09:06:17 Bugpowder This is why I paid jurov to code the confirmation warning into pyMPEX. I did the same thing 2 weeks ago, but smaller scale. 5BTC.
09:06:29 mircea_popescu Money well spent
09:06:43 Namworld Yes.
09:06:47 Bugpowder Now it tells me the total BTC before being sold.
09:06:48 mircea_popescu That 450 btc ? thart's like what, 20k dollah lost.
09:06:54 Bugpowder I lost like 30BTC on that trade, and never was able to buy back all teh shares.
09:07:26 mircea_popescu If this is what happened someone's axing his computar right about now.
09:07:44 Bugpowder It is definitely what happened. The numbers make perfect sense.

09:08:29 Bugpowder Ok. Not using that vwap for my current valuation.
09:08:42 Namworld Ah, and to say I removed my bids for S.DICE at around 0.0018. I could have 60k S.DICE right now. At the expense of someone else, of course.
09:08:53 mircea_popescu They sold close to the month's dividend I guess... Bugpowder lmao why not!
09:09:30 Bugpowder I am usaging that shit for a day.
09:09:44 mircea_popescu Hahaha. "I am usaging" lmao.
09:10:52 dust-otc I read it as "usagi-ing that shit" for a day.
09:10:59 mircea_popescu I'm sure it's what he meant.
09:11:07 Bugpowder 60K of my shares got bot too. So it went up then down?
09:12:09 Namworld Down then 20 seconds after, up.
09:12:12 mod6 Down then up. After the dump there was ~500`000 @ .00085848 for about 30 seconds
09:12:39 Namworld Probably someone going holy fucking shit @&*$@* dumb me fuckin @$@#... :O Damn.
09:12:59 mod6 Then the buy for 15`000, then the rest was pulled, and then someone bought hard. I couldn't hardly believe my eyes, was O.O.
09:13:42 mircea_popescu mod6 lol people be watching the tickers I guess.
09:14:24 Namworld Yeah, definitly someone interchanging price and amount to sell.
09:14:33 mod6 Yeah. :/
09:14:36 Namworld Want to sell a bit at high price, sold a lot at low price. Or he wanted 0.008.... make a large sell wall. A small error can cost a lot when placing a trade order. Biggest I made was a 50 BTC loss.
09:15:10 mircea_popescu It's the nature of the beast. Talking directly into the pit, results follow.

09:15:20 Bugpowder My better than ponzi portfolio performance continues up parabolically
ponzi-24jan2013

09:16:07 Namworld Can I get in on that, bug?
09:16:17 Bugpowder 2 and 10. Sure.
09:16:28 mircea_popescu Bugpowder that is totally a ponzi man. Srsly now.
09:16:36 Namworld What are you doing exactly?
09:16:48 Bugpowder Trading MPEx.
09:16:51 mircea_popescu He's buying s.dice at 60 and selling at 18.
09:16:56 Bugpowder Lol.
09:16:58 mircea_popescu Or no wait. Vice-versa. Dang, i mixed them up...
09:17:25 Bugpowder I'm buying S.DICE at 34 and selling at 54.
09:17:32 mircea_popescu O, did you miss the 32 ?
09:17:33 Bugpowder And buying at 48 And selling at 69900.
09:17:48 mircea_popescu Lol.
09:17:50 Bugpowder Yes, I was not yet with us.
09:17:56 Namworld Ok, I'll give you 1 BTC and come back next year for my 200 000 BTC.
09:17:58 mircea_popescu Did you make enough for a russian mail order bride yet ?
09:18:15 Bugpowder How much do those cost?
09:18:41 mircea_popescu I have no idea. like a used camry ?
09:18:47 mod6 Lol. So about $1200.
09:18:58 Bugpowder Yeah I got a whole used car lot then.
09:19:13 mircea_popescu Get one for you, one for your wife,
09:19:16 mircea_popescu and one for the family dog.
09:19:31 Bugpowder I was just talking to her about this topic. If I keep this up I will trade or sell coins and buy a Tesla model S. And get a plate that says BTCAR.
09:20:19 mircea_popescu Ahahah
09:20:20 Bugpowder Or BTC CAR. Or BITCAR. Or something like that.
09:20:30 mircea_popescu Runs on lulzmoney.
09:20:33 Bugpowder Her idea.
09:20:37 mod6 Haha.
09:20:49 Namworld 25k for a good one. But you can get as low as $2000, but the girl might have a pronounced Adam's apple. I recommend not being a cheapskate.
09:20:57 Bugpowder Best $2,000 investment evar.
09:20:57 mircea_popescu Ye see this here car ? I bought myselv this here car on Internet funny money. And I pay for the electricity through mining for lulz.
09:21:14 Bugpowder Maybe Elon will trade me one for bitcoins.
09:21:47 mircea_popescu Namworld I dunno dood, that Murmansk miner didn't sound like he'd ask for 25k.
09:22:14 Bugpowder 27,000 short puts at 330-350?!? That guy has
enough capital to move the market.
09:22:20 Namworld Yeah, totally making prices up anyway.
09:22:44 Bugpowder Thats at least 60,000 BTC in deposits.
09:22:50 mircea_popescu Bugpowder maybe its the btc he bought on gox.
09:22:55 Namworld I lost the opportunity of cheap S.DICE. Because I bought 1800 calls at 17.
09:23:12 Bugpowder Hahhah.
09:23:17 mircea_popescu Lmao.
09:23:18 Namworld Would have loved to catch those cheap S.DICE.
09:23:29 mircea_popescu MPEx. No matter what you do, you'll regret it. Like Willy Wonka's chocolate fabriquator.
09:23:35 Bugpowder The current great idea is rarely the best.
09:23:50 Namworld Eh, you can't have capital in escrow on everything.
09:23:55 mircea_popescu Why not ?
09:24:15 Namworld Well you can, but only by spreading what you have available.
09:24:23 mircea_popescu That's a point.
09:24:28 Namworld I sunk about 450 BTC in S.BVPS and had 100 BTC left. I had a large order for lowball S.DICE before. But I wanted CALLS.
09:24:41 Bugpowder Seriously though... this guy buys 30,000 calls, shorts 27,000 puts 16 hours before opex... I think he is going to make a play to push the price.
09:25:01 mircea_popescu Bugpowder why do you think it;s the same dood ?

09:25:19 Bugpowder Because they went off at the same time. Similar size, and stopped together too.
09:25:34 mircea_popescu Rally looks well spent actually. Maybe in a few hours it starts over.
09:25:45 mircea_popescu No they didn't, the calls are still on the books. Bot ran out.
09:25:54 Bugpowder Ah. Whats the total exposure?
09:26:15 mircea_popescu Imo it's obviously two diff guys. Other than very diff economics involved, one put in a calls order and left, the other kept doing market orders to wipe the bot. Like 60k.
09:26:33 Namworld MPEx bot ran out?
09:26:37 mircea_popescu Well yes.
09:26:44 Namworld That explains why options are no longer sold...
09:26:47 Bugpowder MPBOR of 25%.
09:26:58 mircea_popescu It originally had 5k of any option, but then I expanded him to 8k. Bugpowder for sure max interest asked. And actually on the 170s, check out the spread hehe 0.07060548 / 0.07286167.
09:28:58 Bugpowder If he put up a simlar bid on the 160s id be tempted to cash it. But... they must know something is coming. Might. Might know.
09:29:21 mircea_popescu I think the call buys are pure fear. Someone owing 10-20k btcs and having dollars. So they went fuck it, lose some coins, not lose the house.
09:29:37 Bugpowder Yah. That makes sense.
09:29:47 mircea_popescu Whereas the puts are speculative, expects price increase.
09:30:03 Bugpowder Well I'm glad im on their team.
09:30:09 mircea_popescu But there's no way to explain why he only bought the cheap calls and all of them other than because he was thinking "infinite price".
09:30:37 Bugpowder Really need sleep. Im fucked tomorrow now.
09:30:46 mircea_popescu Go ahead and sleep, it's an excellent trigger for interesting shit.
09:30:56 mod6 Haha. Be right back in 15 minutes.
09:31:06 mircea_popescu Lol. I dunnop what can happen anymore tho. Maybe bbet sells out.
09:32:11 mod6 :]
