nubbins` i read once that they're given "sheet music" with a note granularity of 1 second [01:39]
nubbins` so there's plenty of room for things to go wrong [01:39]

mircea_popescu mike_c actually about 20ish btc a day is the secular average for bitbet. 50 or so over 3 days is about avg neh ? [06:51]

mike_c yeah [07:11]
mircea_popescu but 3 days, so as to have equal basis. [07:11]

mircea_popescu 442 in august, 543 july, 251 june, 449 may, 217 april, 1659 march etc [07:13]
mircea_popescu it does have some heavy variation, but anyway, 50ish for 3 days seems more or less a good estimate [07:13]
mike_c 2 day = median 18.7, avg 28.15 [07:13]
mike_c 3 day = median 26.6, avg 41.7 [07:14]

mircea_popescu i left a comment on the blog he's arguing with. kinda curious if it gets published. [07:32]
TheNewDeal he's got the usian culture pegged down quite well "This is because truth seeking through argument is not considered the point. The point is consensus, so if everybody mutually eye rolls, then the job is done. If you do not automatically join in the eye rolling, then everything you say MUST be wrong." [07:33]
mircea_popescu well the problem may also be that there's like 2 of him and 200 of those other guys. [07:33]
mircea_popescu and his 2 aren't either rich or murderous. [07:33]
TheNewDeal regardless, it's quite funny to see people jump from dating/fucking full grown women to pedophilia [07:35]
mircea_popescu i don't see the problem, she could just as well be 16 or w/e [07:36]
mircea_popescu pedophilia isn't being attracted to young women, they have to be children. [07:36]
TheNewDeal by 16 the woman is virtually sexually mature [07:37]
TheNewDeal I would consider an attraction to a 13 year quasi pedophilia if she was not developed [07:37]
mircea_popescu thankfully i dun have the job to make the sort of unpleasant call [07:37]

thestringpuller teward: yea if you own the property for X amount of time the capital gains taxes are waived. This is a loophole for homeowners, btc falls under the same statutes. But you still have to pay income tax on income from BTC. I.e. i get paid in BTC as part of some employment contract. The receipt of those coins needs to be claimed with the IRS and then you gotta pay whatever during income tax. [18:49]
thestringpuller They gray area of course is if you never liquidate... [18:49]
ThickAsThieves it's not gray [18:49]
ThickAsThieves when you convert to fiat, if there's gain, there's tax due, if not, then not [18:50]
ThickAsThieves also there is no loophole [18:50]
ThickAsThieves you pay long OR short term rate [18:50]
thestringpuller yes but that's not included if say you pay me X BTC to mow your lawn all year and I don't convert BTC to fiat [18:50]
asciilifeform there is an ancient law involved. 'не пойман — не вор' - 'not caught -- not thief.' known in english lands, if i'm not mistaken, as 'the eleventh commandment.' [18:51]
ThickAsThieves why would you report underthetable income? [18:51]
teward thestringpuller: that's a gray area that you could argue in the tax courts, but you're right. if you don't liquidate the BTC and hold the BTC for over one fiscal year then those bitcoins are only subject to the capital gains tax as well as the income tax IF the liquidation occurs during that fiscal year. At any later date after the BTC has been held for a year it should be the case that it's THEN capital gains taxed. [18:51]
thestringpuller additionally as property if you own said property for X amount of time (i don't know the exact figure in this state), you get the capital gains waived. [18:51]
mircea_popescu peterl> would letting a 2-yo type be a good random generator? << nah. [18:51]
teward thestringpuller: if we want to be truly logical about analyzing this situation... then lets look at state taxes as well [18:52]
teward thestringpuller: in theory you're paying four taxes on that BTC income, state and federal income, and then capital gains for both [18:52]
thestringpuller yea the loophole is just to hold and liquidate after the expiration of capital gains. [18:52]
teward ehhhhhhhhhhh that's not entirely accurate [18:52]
teward capital gains can be done in the long term, the rate is just LOWER for the tax. at least in the US [18:53]
mircea_popescu why is anyone buying at .0075 instead of waiting until after IPO? << or even having waited for a day BEFORE the ipo ? [18:53]
mircea_popescu it was actully discussed here etc. [18:53]
teward thestringpuller: differs state-to-state but you have to look at the 'two tax laws' imposed, one being state, one being federal :/ [18:53]

thestringpuller People who have owned a house for 20-30 years and it's escalated in value are not subject to capital gains. (I know this to be true because I know many people who have sold their houses for more than they bought them and have not gotten taxed for it. The only tax attached to the transaction is sales tax on the buyer). [18:53]

mircea_popescu well if i could condense it in 500 words i would have already. [19:06]
ThickAsThieves seems like the quest you are sending me on is "to understand woman" [19:06]
ThickAsThieves a quest one probly dies along before completing... [19:07]
mircea_popescu nah, just some keywords in a specific set of... philosophy is muchly said, but anyway. worldview [19:07]
ThickAsThieves word [19:07]
mircea_popescu there's this group of people, who figure they've figured out women. they're not entirely correct, but they do have some good points. [19:07]
mircea_popescu and since we're on the topic, it's fucking incredible to me how abandonedly they link to each other. [19:07]
ThickAsThieves i could probly just learn more about her mom and map onto her [19:07]
mircea_popescu it's not even a matter of, some people in a conclave circle jerking [19:07]
mike_c i can confirm that a 1 yr old is terrible random number generator. they focus on a small subset of keys and bang. [19:07]
mircea_popescu no, they link to nobodies, to beginners, to people in their comments, they link like their fucking life depends on it [19:08]
mircea_popescu i suspect it's exactly the only reason they eked into a modicum of relevancy for the social discourse [19:08]
mircea_popescu meanwhile "the press" avoids linking to people like the plague, as the quoted piece from maddox yest showed. and i suspect this has a lot to do with their collapse, it's not the internet, is that they misunderstood the importance of reference. [19:09]
ThickAsThieves i can see it now "whatcha reading, babe?" "The Ugly Reality Of Open Relationships" [19:09]
asciilifeform they link to nobodies, to beginners << unmistakeable, dire sign of a field not yet (and perhaps never) mature. you need some beginnings of a fissure between the alchemists and the chemists, astrologists and astronomers. [19:09]
asciilifeform if they all 'link to each other' - you have only alchemy, astrology. [19:09]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform is what i thought too, 2011ish. but here's the thing : these people now do book deals, [19:09]
mircea_popescu they saw money. [19:09]
mircea_popescu and they STILL behave correctly. [19:09]
mircea_popescu my own pet theory, which you may laugh at as you will, is that the difference is the investment of hate. these people hate women, fundamentally, and as such they no longer need to look out for enemies, and so everyone else is a friend. [19:10]
mircea_popescu the press meanwhile knows no greater enemy than... another press outlet, especially in the same market [19:10]
thestringpuller isn't that the case with any industry? [19:10]
mircea_popescu the investment of hate results in online success, the failure to invest it results in online failure. [19:10]
asciilifeform press also has enemies it can, as a whole, agree on. untermenschen, if you like. some things 'it would not do' to print. [19:11]
mircea_popescu no, it does not. it seems to, but it does not. [19:11]

asciilifeform water is pumped from a tank up, and then flows down a pipe back into the tank. in the down pipe, there's a spigot to the side, where a vacuum forms - water carries away air. [19:37]
mircea_popescu shit bad link ? [19:37]
ThickAsThieves i'm not convinced there's anything at play but a lack of new bitcoin buyers [19:38]
asciilifeform so you get a vacuum that is about as good as the water's vapour pressure at the room's temperature & pressure. not bad. cheap. if you remember school - you used this 'medieval' gadget. [19:38]
ThickAsThieves traders trading traders will drive price down [19:38]
mircea_popescu pete_dushenski not the same link, just the same title. [19:38]
asciilifeform so we have 'buterin's waterfall.' ingredient - a fat bag of coin. (where found? sr coins traded for 'boring' coin with no peculiar blockchain history - plus gov. mining, other confiscations, etc.) [19:39]
pete_dushenski mircea_popescu: o you so sneaky [19:39]
asciilifeform herr buterin takes the bag of coin, and places it on markets largely controlled ( http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-09-2014#832201 ) by usg. [19:39]

asciilifeform knob is turned, lowball bid is lowered still, shills continue to buy [19:40]
kakobrekla why would they announce it and not use the collected coin (ether). its a give away [19:40]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform the joke being, of course, that bitcoin had an otc market larger than the exchanges back in 2012. [19:40]
asciilifeform the 'vapour' carried away is the coin that is panic-sold by civilians [19:41]
mircea_popescu and that was before mtgox collapsed. [19:41]
mircea_popescu to imagine the entire set of noob exchanges today have 50% of the volume of mtgox in 2012 is to overstate things. [19:41]
asciilifeform the controlled market will allow the entry of sizeable parcels coin, but not of usd; and the egress of usd, but not of coin. [19:41]
mircea_popescu that means they're playing with confederate bills somewhere in the nebraska territory of bitcoin [19:41]

mircea_popescu los_pantalones not that much room in 5% [19:45]
ThickAsThieves i like this theory, what if Draper actually bid less than everyone, but for all 160k or so coins [19:45]
mircea_popescu what happened was that one favoured party got the benefit of "match the best offer we get", is the problem. [19:45]
los_pantalones nah but we assumed all the SM buyers would have blue balls and pay up after they lost [19:46]

ThickAsThieves of course [20:52]
mike_c i don't like circle's look. not as good as ethereum. [20:52]

asciilifeform call it 's' for salami. [20:52]
ThickAsThieves it is very much a thing [20:52]
ThickAsThieves i'll give a basic example [20:52]
kakobrekla do tell, mp came with one (and not great one) [20:53]
ThickAsThieves nonprofit agency pays more money for cheap-looking solicition materials (like, capital campaign mailers) so as not to look like they have plenty money to afford nicer package [20:53]
ThickAsThieves packaging must match culture of audience [20:54]
kakobrekla but nonprofits goal is to not make a profit, so that doesnt count. [20:54]
ThickAsThieves i'm showing how the nonprofit has awareness of the phenomenon [20:54]
ThickAsThieves if packaging doesnt suit audience, one or both parties may be alienated [20:54]
