Duffer1 | ya i was gonna say | [02:49] |
truffles | but its brand new pc | [02:49] |
truffles | shame | [02:49] |

ThickAsThieves | what did you rule it, a commodity? | [13:59] |
mircea_popescu | wow gold | [13:59] |
ThickAsThieves | ah yes | [13:59] |
mircea_popescu | anyway, some people were contemplating vehicles such as funds | [13:59] |
* | KableKiB_ (~KableKiB@24.114.94.3) has joined #bitcoin-assets | [13:59] |
ThickAsThieves | so this means the US will def approve the winklething | [14:00] |
mircea_popescu | the chinese do have a serious problem, in the following sense : it's a highly competitive society, much more so than the us was in the 50s. people are very performance driven. | [14:00] |
mircea_popescu | the economic situation is dire, the finances are in a mess. everyone is earnestly looking for ways to conserve capital values | [14:00] |
mircea_popescu | had this pronouncement not been made, we could have ended up with a rush from chinese provincial authorities buying bitcoins and erecting miner farms | [14:01] |
* | darkee_ (~darkee@gateway/tor-sasl/darkee) has joined #bitcoin-assets | [14:01] |
mircea_popescu | so if anything it's good, in that it balances out the govt battle, because the us (all its pretense to the contrary) could not have kept up. | [14:01] |
mircea_popescu | in this sense it subtly strengthens bitcoin, because it's current value and recent explosion are both due to the little secret made public also on trilema, ie govts involved. | [14:02] |
mircea_popescu | as long as there remains balance bitcoin will do ok. | [14:02] |

ThickAsThieves | tldr CHEAP COINZ | [14:02] |
mircea_popescu | more like, "the chinese central authorities are not exactly asleep, and picked the right course". | [14:04] |
mircea_popescu | anyway, one point that is perhaps not directly obvious to foreigners is that china contains about 10mn people who have the authority to spend various amounts of public funds. | [14:06] |
mircea_popescu | it's a strange mix between a command economy and a market economy, and managing it looks more like herding 10mn cats. | [14:06] |
thestringpuller | that's a really good observation | [14:07] |
thestringpuller | know what i'm sayin'? | [14:07] |
mircea_popescu | :p | [14:07] |
ThickAsThieves | easy to herd cats if you pavlov them with treats | [14:07] |
ThickAsThieves | I can whistle and all my animals come to me | [14:08] |
mircea_popescu | this is what they did so far. the problem is there's a finite bulk of treats, and they're trying to soft land it atm | [14:08] |
thestringpuller | http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-09-21/chinas-ghost-cities-are-multiplying << so apparently the chinese like bubbles? | [14:09] |

mircea_popescu | the westerners love bubbles, and they could EASILY avoid them | [14:11] |
thestringpuller | don't you think the chinese would have learned after building the first ghost city that it doesn't work though? | [14:13] |

ThickAsThieves | Have you heard of the " LOYAL3 Social IPO platform" | [14:33] |
ThickAsThieves | my mom got this email from a large US Movie Theater corp: "To our AMC Stubs members, | [14:34] |
ThickAsThieves | AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., the parent company for AMC Theatres, is going public. We are reserving a number of shares in our initial public stock offering (IPO) for you, our most loyal customers, to reserve on a first-come, first-serve basis. The price per share will be determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters of the IPO, but it will be the same price per share | [14:34] |
ThickAsThieves | as offered to Wall Street investors. | [14:34] |
ThickAsThieves | We will also give you the same 24-hour head start our employees will receive, in order to ensure you have the earliest opportunity to reserve shares at the offering price. While many companies depend on their customers' support every day, those customers don't always get the chance to own a piece of the action at the same price as Wall Street investors. We're offering this exclusive | [14:34] |
ThickAsThieves | employee benefit to our AMC Stubs members to express our sincere gratitude for your loyalty. | [14:34] |
ThickAsThieves | If this interests you, please click here to learn more. | [14:34] |
ThickAsThieves | Please note that to execute this idea, we have opted to use the LOYAL3 Social IPO platform, an innovative new way to bring IPOs to market, where you can buy from $100 to $2,500 of our stock, and sell stock, with no fees. " | [14:34] |

mircea_popescu | sooo, i wake up, there's a turkey in the oven | [15:03] |
mircea_popescu | i end up having stuffed turkey for breakfast with a few slices of camembert | [15:03] |
mircea_popescu | this WORKS omg. davout you gotta try it. | [15:03] |
ThickAsThieves | did you hear about the toejam cheese? | [15:06] |
mircea_popescu | ThickAsThieves don't go trippin on the camembert yo | [15:06] |
ThickAsThieves | while i dont eat cheese anymore, i always preferred the very sharp, hard stuff | [15:07] |
ThickAsThieves | like mimolette | [15:07] |
mircea_popescu | this was young, but it had possibly the finest velvet micelium i've yet seen. | [15:07] |
mircea_popescu | why not eat cheese anyway ? it's what made us white folk smart enough to rule all the other races. | [15:08] |
ThickAsThieves | well, i dont think you really want me to answer that | [15:08] |
ThickAsThieves | like asking why am i vegan | [15:09] |
ThickAsThieves | no one cares | [15:09] |
mircea_popescu | just as long as it's not a youtube link | [15:09] |
ThickAsThieves | haha | [15:09] |
ThickAsThieves | the core of it for me is that i cherish life | [15:09] |
ThickAsThieves | simplest way to put it | [15:10] |
mircea_popescu | but life w/o camembert is scarcely life. if i offered you the deal of 200 year lifespans as long as you lived in a hamster ball weould you live in a hamster ball ? | [15:10] |
ThickAsThieves | that's a much bigger question than cheese | [15:11] |
ThickAsThieves | lol | [15:11] |
ThickAsThieves | i have no idea if my brain could handle that lifestyle | [15:12] |

mircea_popescu | REP. BOB GOODLATTE (R-VA): Professor Turley, the constitution, the system of separated powers is not simply about stopping one branch of government from usurping another. It's about protecting the liberty of Americans from the dangers of concentrated government power. How does the president's unilateral modification of act of Congress affect both the balance of power between the political branches and the liberty inter | [16:00] |
mircea_popescu | ests of the American people? | [16:00] |
mircea_popescu | JONATHAN TURLEY: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The danger is quite severe. The problem with what the president is doing is that he's not simply posing a danger to the constitutional system. He's becoming the very danger the Constitution was designed to avoid. That is the concentration of power in every single branch. | [16:00] |

ThickAsThieves | hehe | [21:02] |
nubbins` | a $250 epson can produce beautiful CMYK giclee prints | [21:02] |
nubbins` | but they're worth the cost of the paper and inks, plus maybe $20 | [21:02] |
nubbins` | to compare a giclee to a linocut or a serigraph is truly taking the piss | [21:03] |
nubbins` | nothing worse than seeing people selling small "prints" for $50 each | [21:04] |
nubbins` | in an edition of 250 | [21:04] |

ThickAsThieves | in-between seems a waste | [21:04] |

nubbins` | take a linocut, for example | [21:05] |

davout | benkay: i've been working on my financial education a lot recently still lots to learn, but isn't it much more dangerous to write options than it is to buy them ? | [22:59] |
davout | the way i understand it you can lose a lot but your profit is capped by the price at which you sell the option | [22:59] |
assbot | [HAVELOCK] [HIF] 1417 @ 0.00048994 = 0.6942 BTC [+] {3} | [23:00] |
mike_c | yes, but you profit sooner | [23:00] |
mike_c | at a higher price that is | [23:00] |

benkay | pricing options is an open problem, yes. | [23:03] |
davout | the MPOE bot knows something about it hehe | [23:04] |
mike_c | i value learning by experience, but the p/l graphs are definitely something you should understand before trading options. | [23:04] |
davout | i'm not touching options, and i certainly won't write them | [23:05] |

benkay | i'd like to see a shor-resistant cryptocurrency. | [23:14] |
benkay | kinda the only altcoin that makes practical sense. | [23:15] |
asciilifeform | benkay: there are several hypothetical altcoins that would make practical sense. | [23:16] |
benkay | just so that when cold wallets start emptying themselves those who keep their eyes on these things have another class of cryptocoin to move into. | [23:16] |
asciilifeform | say, my crackpot 'turingcoin' (arbitrary calculation for workfunction.) | [23:16] |
davout | benkay: i guess i'll need to understand how to model volatility before writing one | [23:17] |
mircea_popescu | davout the main difference between options and futures is that a correctly implemented future allows physical delivery, | [23:18] |
mircea_popescu | which keeps the market honest. | [23:18] |
assbot | [HAVELOCK] [COG] 3 @ 0.051 = 0.153 BTC [-] | [23:18] |
davout | can you elaborate on the keeping the market honest part ? | [23:18] |
mircea_popescu | absent that, futures are awkwardly skinned options. | [23:18] |
davout | and on the awkwardly skinned options part ? :-) | [23:19] |
mircea_popescu | davout yeah. if you buy the right to receive livestock in the future, as long as you can't actually take the livestock | [23:19] |
mircea_popescu | you're stuck realising whatever price whoever sold you the contract decides | [23:19] |
mircea_popescu | ifthey say livestock is 10 dollars that's that. | [23:19] |
mircea_popescu | if however you CAN take the livestock, then they are well incentivised to not declare livestock worth 10 dollars, cause you'll just take it. | [23:19] |
davout | when you close your position you mean? | [23:19] |
davout | ya i see | [23:19] |
asciilifeform | self-emptying coldwallets, should they appear, would almost certainly be explained by compromised electronics (airgap that isn't) rather than QM sorcery. | [23:19] |
mircea_popescu | at all points. | [23:20] |
davout | finance is terrifyingly interesting | [23:20] |
mircea_popescu | an option resolves this problem by trading on the spot. futures trade on their own "implied" spot, and so you can easily be stuck | [23:20] |
davout | learning about it is quite enjoyable | [23:20] |
davout | you lost me there | [23:21] |
mircea_popescu | (for instance it's convincingly arguing atm that the large banks are keeping rthe gold price very low throuigh this exact trickery) | [23:21] |
* | kleeck_ is now known as kleeck|offAndUpO | [23:21] |
benkay | whereas if you take posession of the livestock, you can sell them for the market price. | [23:21] |
mircea_popescu | davout the price at which options settle is not related to the price at which options trade, in the sense these are independent values. | [23:22] |
mircea_popescu | the price at which futures settle is QUITE the price at which they trade. | [23:22] |
* | kleeck|offAndUpO is now known as Kleeck|HookersNB | [23:22] |
davout | but the spot is still the spot right? i mean, it reflects the actual price of things? or am i missing something obvious here? | [23:22] |
benkay | asciilifeform: the first set of course | [23:23] |
mircea_popescu | thje spot is the spot, but the actual price shall never be known. | [23:23] |
davout | haha | [23:23] |
benkay | asciilifeform: i'm entertaining ideas about practical altcoin design | [23:23] |
asciilifeform | benkay: programmable workfunction (part of the protocol, in my concept) would give you some teeth against asic, etc. | [23:24] |
mircea_popescu | why do you want " teeth against asic" ? | [23:24] |
ThickAsThieves | hey guys, where can I short the bitcoin? | [23:24] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: if you're sitting on a warehouse full of fpga. | [23:24] |
mircea_popescu | seems a silly way to design things | [23:25] |
davout | mircea_popescu: i'm at chapter 2 of my book, hopefully i'll grok moar and come up with better questions as i progress | [23:25] |
asciilifeform | or simply if you'd prefer a cryptocoin that doesn't degenerate into semiconductor plants as central banks | [23:25] |
mircea_popescu | davout enjoi. | [23:25] |
benkay | asciilifeform: examples: targeting fpga's; dynamic workfns (as you mentioned); sorcery resistance | [23:25] |
