benkay: what is this picostocks?
benkay: doodly derp
benkay: derp
benkay: yeah, estimated price of 90kusd
benkay: hold please
benkay: dat 90k though
benkay: i wonder who buys the bitfury box?
benkay: don't take too big of a loss before getting out, tat
benkay: did he intend to list on mpex at one point?
benkay: which exchange? which 'asset'?
benkay: do some things for yourself
benkay: but shit learn to cook
benkay: take the shares to an exchange
benkay: when you want pro grade service, go out
benkay: but that's your own kitchen, though
benkay: people would lose shares and shit
benkay: nah it'd be great
benkay: because efficient capital flows ;)
benkay: I just have this silly desire to disintermediate all of the things.
benkay: that is my option, innit?
benkay: yeah
benkay: how would I go about sending some shares to my kid, someday when accounts are ludicrously expensive?
benkay: gonna give you a virus tho
benkay: it's run by the bitcoinx guys
benkay: oh that's a cool claim, what do you mean by that mp?
benkay: market mechanics around p2p exchanges are going to be silly and decades away if ever extant
benkay: what i want doesn't matter
benkay: but w/e
benkay: i don't want paper though, i want a cryptotoken I can send to someone else
benkay: haha
benkay: what do you claim is the MPEx equivalent to the printed piece of bs i get from pepsi?
benkay: what do I get when we're all satisfied that the shares are in my posession?
benkay: can have actual certificate
benkay: jump through a million hoops
benkay: i buy stock in pepsi
benkay: totally sufficient proof to me that i own a stake in a publicly traded company.
benkay: inorite?
benkay: but sure fedex works
benkay: i was thinking a symbol representing them, cryptographically signed to me
benkay: under my name, on mp's exchange
benkay: my theoretical shares
benkay: will you send me my s.dice shares?
benkay: mircea
benkay: i can't ask MP to send me my S.DICE shares, I don't think
benkay: and stock in these companies needs some sort of owner-controllable features
benkay: themselves*
benkay: colored coins might be a good way to keep exchanges honest when trading assets between the
benkay: it's be a neat thing for a bunch of nerds who own shares in an REIT to pass them around
benkay: exchanges are a good way to do that
benkay: you gotta gain the trust of people somehow to legitimate your biz-mod
benkay: but honestly why bother?
benkay: we can try it in a decade or three
benkay: super too new
benkay: well duh
benkay: but at that point just sign some papers
benkay: it might be good for equity stakes to be less-than-instantly liquid
benkay: but they're a bril idea
benkay: the ecosystem around 'em ain't there yet
benkay: she's getting better
benkay: so much crazy in dat
benkay: great find jurov
benkay: ladles and jellyspoons, bitcoin-assets on a sunday.
benkay: secret password instead purpleskew
benkay: has a nice heroin ring to it...
benkay: poppysuit?
benkay: sounds better as popelsurt
benkay: bids and asks
benkay: er
benkay: orders are looming over it
benkay: mjr_ you gotta stick the footer text in some different frontend bag
benkay: don't stop get it get it mjr
benkay: ;;seen bowjob
benkay: now you u has startup title
benkay: CJO
benkay: hahahaha
benkay: most americans don't have jobs that would issue them anything
benkay: i'm going to steal that idea, mircea_popescu
benkay: it's hidden very well
benkay: they take on the debt for the toys themselves
benkay: well
benkay: deprive the proles of education, so that they demand less entertainment, so that the true elites can work them harder for less pay
benkay: this conversation puts the past half-century of american history in interesting perspective
benkay: that's terrifying.
benkay: all of the propaganda was just...propaganda.
benkay: i thought easter european communism was a front to enrich a small number of people
benkay: if fewer monkeys wasted their lives writing crap they could staff factories
benkay: what are you two objecting to? that the energy could be deployed in a useful way? or that any energy is diverted?
benkay: and therefore attract a huge amount of what could otherwise be productive energy
benkay: but that they are successful by some metric
benkay: i'm not claiming those works are any good
benkay: some of those tomes become popular by no virtue of their writers
benkay: come on man, don't deliberately misunderstand me
benkay: and what I meant by 'writing a play is easy' is literally that putting words on paper is a trivial thing for a monkey who's been taught english to accomplish.
benkay: but they produce cultural things they themselves enjoy, and the fame that accrues to the individuals involved is a draw for the other "playwrights"
benkay: sure, sure
benkay: sorry, let me rephrase
benkay: oh oh
benkay: all plays are bad?
benkay: *might* explain the misallocation.
benkay: but because plays are easy to write relative to building a business, and the fame rewards are so outsize, that would explain the misallocation
benkay: huh
benkay: I don't really know where I'm going with this, other than there's gotta be a coupling factor between how much energy to put into plays and books and how much to put into building useful shit.
benkay: but also keep it expensive enough that it's actually a treat
benkay: we want to encourage enough hedonic development to inspire people to take over the world so they can experience crazy fun stuff
benkay: there's a balance there, right?
benkay: I don't need immersive 3d environments or whatever
benkay: which, great, but there's more to life
benkay: if no hedonics exist, i'm basically limited to finding new holes for my dick
benkay: and now i want to experience some fun
benkay: but i've spent so much time building shit
benkay: hurr durr
benkay: concession*
benkay: mircea_popescu zero consession to hedonics?
benkay: what's the strict civilizational pov?
benkay: jurov: watching PR's posts alone will be gold. thanks for the link/suggestion :)
benkay: not that anyone cares what the kid thinks
benkay: except that it consumes bandwidth that should go towards building shit
benkay: once they start exposing their kinks
benkay: i'm just complaining about liberals
benkay: I didn't think we were arguing
benkay: none!
benkay: and most are trampled under foot
benkay: some fight their way to it
benkay: some are born into power
benkay: because the world is constructed of power structures that were here before you and I and will be here after you and i
benkay: but I don't care!
benkay: but we *can* evaluate their claims without dipping into ad-hominems
benkay: well statistically people are lazy and dumb
benkay: haha
benkay: must be evaluated on a case by case basis
benkay: different story
benkay: the objected-to point is that people get bonuses for not working
benkay: or
benkay: that dude's a dude and therefore it's easier for him to build and run a company than me, a woman
benkay: or
benkay: that guy inherited capital which made his ventures a little more easily pulled off
benkay: now now that's a vast oversimplification
benkay: the only people who care about privilege have none
benkay: ho ho
benkay: link?
benkay: I gather your brain didn't melt and pour out of your ears?
benkay: yeah. still talking about that grow the fuck up shit.
benkay: let's all grow up about bodies
benkay: rub your shit on whatever feels good, kids
benkay: i am extremely tired of gender and sexuality politics
benkay: jurov, i wasn't saying that it would be effective, just that i might be able to get behind it
benkay: except that i can delete others orders
benkay: looks great maximo
benkay: vtunnel.com?
benkay: sun times probably blacklisted europe or something hilarious
benkay: mp posted a link earlier

benkay: blows my mind that all of these crm companies and lead management companies don't do that automatically
