* bloctoc has quit (Quit: Textual IRC Client: www.textualapp.com) [17:24]
monolithik and I wondered, who is this guy? Ignoring the question of whether he is satoshi or not, who is he? Other than his website and blog, he's basically a ghost online [17:24]
monolithik I found a conference on smart contracts that he supposedly spoke at, but not much else [17:25]
mircea_popescu he is a very smart anthropologist [17:25]
monolithik but then it gets stranger: http://w2.eff.org/Net_culture/Folklore/Humor/squish.hoax [17:25]
mircea_popescu with a bunch of oblique interests. [17:25]
monolithik As far back as 1994 on the cypherpunk mailing list, people questioned whether szabo was a real person [17:26]
monolithik "The Szabo tentacle is one of the most persistent of all. Even after" [17:26]
monolithik being exposed the `mother monster' continues to post, because a` [17:26]
monolithik fairly significant reputation investment has been established under [17:26]
monolithik the name. Has strong interest in digital cash. Has admitted to [17:26]

monolithik i mean, for a GWU law professor, its quite strange that there is almost no record of his existence. [17:30]
mircea_popescu monolithik a better question would be, why;d you give a shit ? [17:30]
ThickAsThieves "Though this was not stated explicitly, the government's rationale in not pursuing criminal prosecutions against the bank was apparently rooted in concerns that putting executives from a "systemically important institution" in jail for drug laundering would threaten the stability of the financial system... [17:30]
ThickAsThieves banks be untouchable yo [17:30]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves it's not a joke, it's just there to control poor people. [17:31]
monolithik to be honest, no idea, I [17:31]
mircea_popescu these aren't poor people, and therefore unrelated. [17:31]
monolithik think I just went a bit too deep down the rabbit hole. [17:31]
mircea_popescu also, what the fascist media claims and what the reality is divergest vastly. [17:31]

mircea_popescu hardly anything else than proof as to how the usg is impotent and pointless. [17:32]
ThickAsThieves why is HSBC paying anything at all then? [17:34]

mircea_popescu i seriously wonder at the degree of delusion us press must be belabouring under, to imagine saying " would threaten the stability of the financial system" does not immediately and transparently mapped to "they told us they will fuck us up, permanently. we believed them, because they had a point."
