jurov: it could have progressed 100x faster, not sure it can be done on ASICs

pankkake: what kind of things could one use to measure inflation? there's the obvious gold, but I'm looking for other things, like pizzas, oil…?
pankkake: to be clearer, I'm looking for things with price feeds
mircea_popescu: the only way this was ever done was a composite basket sort of thing.
mircea_popescu: say something like 10% oil 5% gold 15% pork bellies 20% grain 20% average housing costs 30% minimum wage
pankkake: yeah, I know those ones, but first of all the ratio is usually pullet out of someone's ass
pankkake: and I'm looking for something sexy like "how many pizzas is a bitcoin over time"
pankkake: gold is the easy one, perhaps oil too
mircea_popescu: thats what i'm saying, there's not been a better solution than pull a basket out of ass
mircea_popescu: and tjere's no such thing as "a pizza"
pankkake: oooh just remembered http://www.pintprice.com/
nubbins`: bic mac index
nubbins`: *big
pankkake: good one too
pankkake: it's simple enough
pankkake: though they probably update it only once a year
nubbins`: alcohol is generally subject to varying levels of taxation from country to country, so it doesn't make as good a barometer
pankkake: indeed, and that taxation vary from year to year (one of our government's genius idea was raising the beer tax - yes there is a tax specifically on beer)
nubbins`: oil isn't useful as a measure of anything aside from OPEC's influence
pankkake: many political events can affect it
pankkake: and gold, well. though I can use price feeds from people who trade physical gold, it follows the rest
nubbins`: what this boils down to is that the aforementioned basket, for all its flaws, is still the best solution
mircea_popescu: inflation is not really a solved problem
mircea_popescu: which is why things like bitcoin are economically useful.
mircea_popescu: or w/e, "which is a way to explain the economical usefulness of things like bitcoin in classical terms"
pankkake: I'd like to have some sort of long term graph, in the sense that having bitcoin go up in value while the currencies it is tracked against lose value by themselves, is not that useful
mircea_popescu: fiat loss of value is a tiny fraction of bitcoin increase.
pankkake: no doubt :)
mircea_popescu: it went up 1000% since 9 months ago
mircea_popescu: in this sense fiat inflation is a rounding error, you'll never measure it.
mircea_popescu: as bitcoin settles closer to something like 1mn us whatevers, then fiat inflation will be more visible.
pankkake: I have a feeling fiat inflation is going to explode sooner or later
pankkake: but herhaps it will be a slow painful process
mircea_popescu: only in selected countries.
thestringpuller: fiat inflation is irrelevant
thestringpuller: to bitcoin, because if/when it goes out of control, there will be a different unit of account btc
thestringpuller: like gold bars or something
jurov: pizzaz
jurov: and since when was bitcoin under control?
thestringpuller: i was talking about inflation with that pronoun it
thestringpuller: if inflation goes out of control it won't be seen in bitcoin accurately because people will stop using fiat as a unit of account
jurov: oh ic
pankkake: then I could switch my system to track it directly in BTC
jurov: i think it will end up more like in argentina, official rates faster and faster divorced from actual market ones
jurov: only that in ar it didn't end yet
mircea_popescu: jurov i suspect the us will fail like argentina, yeah.
mircea_popescu: shortages, "bail-ins", etc.
thestringpuller: what is a "bail in"?
mircea_popescu: theft, basically.
pankkake: I've read parts of http://ferfal.blogspot.com/ - scary
thestringpuller: like boiler room style?
mircea_popescu: like you know what a bailout is ?
thestringpuller: a bailout is when someone gives someone else a bunch of money to save their ass
thestringpuller: what is the inverse of that?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 10255 @ 0.00081695 = 8.3778 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: a bailout is when a government spends from the tax chest to save a failed business.
mircea_popescu: a bailin is when a government confiscates third parties funds to save a failed business.
mircea_popescu: so. chryser is bankrupt. bailout : govt gives them 10bn in govt backed credit. bailin : govt orders anyone who ever bought a chrysler car to pay 1k to chruysler.
thestringpuller: thank you
pankkake: cyprus was a bail in
