mircea_popescu: there's also the important consideration of "conversation piece". this is entirely a hermetic concept to anyone living outside of the anglosphere, which is to say sanely inserted in a functioning social fabric.
asciilifeform: esp now that i recall the 'physical gold' folks' reaction to bitcoin
mircea_popescu: the original nubbins' failure to matter is a fine example in exactly this vein - you can't take the pig out of the pig just because you want another prince.
mircea_popescu: i can readily see this difference, myself : the later's perhaps a useful toy to get idiots to formally behave sanely. it is oft misplaced, like the hope that if you daily dress a pig in clean underwear, it'll turn into a price.
mircea_popescu: similarly, apparently there's a difference between "owning" a "bitcoin gem" that exists chiefly as a succession of forum posts ; and "owning" a "physical bitcoin" that exists chiefly as a succession of gpg-signed promises.
mircea_popescu: not a difference in terms of perversion, of course, neither's workable, or real, or etc. but there's a difference in terms of practice, if cable company delivers a box of used stockings instead of modem it'll hear no end of reddit mentions.

This is the period, incidentally, when the embezzler has his gain and the man who has been embezzled feels no loss. There is a net increase in psychic wealth.” Galbraith described that increase in wealth as “the bezzle.”'
asciilifeform: because it creates the necessary conditions for bezzle, but without any upside
