mircea_popescu: it is, to them, the reality of the daytime tv drama. the scholarly term for this is, "cargo cult".
mircea_popescu: it used to be "fakle it till you make it", which is how this always starts. now there's nothing to make, on account of everyone doing the same faking.

mircea_popescu: that is not a thing.
mircea_popescu: the problem with cargo cultism being, of course, that the only thing it produces is frustration.
mircea_popescu: (if it fails, necessarily, but also if it succeeds. especially if it succeeds.)
mircea_popescu: that frustration, being on a social rather than individuyal scale, and coherent, will find the usual debouchees.

asciilifeform: for mircea_popescu buying 100,000 btc for swiss franks - price is something else, yes.
mircea_popescu: price is "300 or whatever" for nickle and dime deals which are mostly predicated on "don't make it too hard for noobs / wild eyed youths to get into bitcoin".
asciilifeform: 'Mike Morell, former deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency, opened the door for more fighting about encryption by stating that a public debate was needed.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i know that the 'official' price is a fiction. but this was not the evidence for my hypothesis.
mircea_popescu: it's being slowly emptied.
asciilifeform: which was that the cards simply happen not to be the vehicle for said emptying.
mircea_popescu: and it'll get faster and faster.
asciilifeform: (at least not in the form they exist on this side of the atlantic)
mircea_popescu: errything not bolted down, really. if you can steal it, you gotta steal it.
asciilifeform: rather it'll be something like 'buy mercedes on credit in usd, sell for btc to some idiot'
asciilifeform: the separation between 'chargebackable' usd and the proper kind on cc is older than bitcoin, and originally existed to keep schmucks from paying off one card with another

asciilifeform thought that sucking ~in~ the car, literally, was a thing impoverished usians did
asciilifeform finds the politics of creditcardism interesting because it is one of the places where bezzle meets actual physical reality, and the interface between the two produces some lulzy effects
mircea_popescu: myeah. the thing's visibly cancerous.
asciilifeform: folks have built, briefly, 'arse-mouth systems' in the past:
asciilifeform: at one point, iirc, the usa mint 'sold' coins using cc
asciilifeform: so a few schmucks bought'em, then deposited, paid the cc bill, and pocketed the 1-5% 'reward points'
asciilifeform: netting a few 100k usd each.
asciilifeform: or so the story went.
asciilifeform: (the hole was closed, suggesting that there was an element of truth)

asciilifeform: if the mircea_popescu-price were so much higher than the 300 plebe-price, one would see orgies of sybilling ?
asciilifeform: what am i missing ?

mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> incidentally what's to stop the fella <<< last time someone tried this (not even 1k) was last week.
mircea_popescu: you saw what happened.
mircea_popescu: the usg version of reality works fine for just as long nobody leans on it. like all cardboard.
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: what i was wondering is why the leaning is as light as it is.
asciilifeform: why not same thing ~every~ week ?
kakobrekla: i just saw 1k btc buy order market price got filled
mircea_popescu: you ask me that ? i ask you that!
kakobrekla: like 1 minute ago
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla on mtgox ?
kakobrekla: the cans
adlai: MtWinx
mircea_popescu: point remains.
kakobrekla: for 1k nah. for 10k maybe.
adlai: except not quite market price, there
mircea_popescu: im not doing a numeric discussion.
asciilifeform: i suppose the trick would be to drink no faster than the waterfall refills
kakobrekla: adlai maybe so, but not 500.
mircea_popescu: you and the other 1k wanna-be bankers (or rather, wanna-stay bankers) trying this.
asciilifeform: aha it'd be as likely as lice coming to an agreement to drink this-much blood
asciilifeform: and no more
asciilifeform: (do lice have... quorum-sensing ?!! like bacteria?)
adlai: economies of scale don't, um, scale
mircea_popescu: the saudis pretend so
mircea_popescu: except it never worked in practice, but hey
mircea_popescu: actually, this would be useful for a change economics research. obviously lice agreement on lice-ing only works provided the largest lice is cutting his own throat. but by what factor ?
asciilifeform: iirc the game theory folks bashed their heads raw against this for half a century
mircea_popescu: aha.
asciilifeform aficionado
kakobrekla: the diff between 1k and 10k would be the diff between buying chinese crap and buying a plane, if you dont like numbers.
mircea_popescu: 1k is a cessna ; 10k is a coupla of good condition yugo jets.
asciilifeform: and 100k is the coke machine.
kakobrekla: you can get cessna on credit no?
mircea_popescu: try an' see.
asciilifeform: for some value of 'you'
kakobrekla: l0l
asciilifeform: ;;isup trilema.com
gribble: trilema.com is up
