Apr 10 01:36:39 <mircea_popescu> now looky, the reason i left otc is idiotic "policy". i will drag this chan up to par with otc in time, but i really don't want to hear anything of the sort.

Apr 10 01:38:44 <kakobrekla> of what sort
Apr 10 01:39:00 <mircea_popescu> yea good question, i guess im a little touchy.
Apr 10 01:39:22 <mircea_popescu> basically, the ideea is this : trade depends on people being able to talk about whatever the hell they feel like.

The whole context for this being that nanotube turned jwz in the middle of an ideological dispute between me and gmaxwellⁱ, and I moved on.

So, to be perfectly clear : #bitcoin-assets was born out of my fertile loins, and on a purely ideological basis. The end.
