shinohai: Well it certainly helps lube online business, otherwise just nice to have hoarded away as part of war chest, if necessary.
asciilifeform: shinohai: if not seekrit -- what sorta business ?
shinohai: Can buy hardware with it for lab, buy server time, things like that.
shinohai: Pay websluts to do things.
asciilifeform doesn't like to spend coin but i suppose to each, his own.
ericbot: (trilema) 2019-10-08 asciilifeform: point being, in asciilifeform's eyes only makes sense to spend personal coinz if can buy it back ~immediately at same or better price. which is difficult to do.
shinohai: Well if I can purchase an item or service in another manner, I prefer to do so by other means. But BTC is certainly the currency that talks everywhere, worldwide.
shinohai: Want Fentanyl shipped to those loud neighbours from some guy in China? BTC will do it!
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: wb and ty. but if we do usa, we'll prolly want to do it where asciilifeform or e.g. trinque can easily pay visits to it
asciilifeform: ty danielpbarron .
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: seems that at least for a while, it'll be 'erry man for himself' re machines .

ericbot: (trilema) 2019-10-08 asciilifeform: '3 smoking from same match'

shinohai: oh hai danielpbarron ... nice to see ya
shinohai: Not bad here, thanks. Hot summer but wine, women, and song.
shinohai: What a #trilema log this morning. asciilifeform is in top form!
shinohai: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1943699 <<< Now *this* is something that might inspire me to build thermonuclear dirigible.
ossabot: (trilema) 2019-10-09 asciilifeform: i suspect that mp_en_viaje will yet have occasion to say 'thank you' to asciilifeform for having 'wasted time' discovering how to undetectably and reliably shortwave.
