punkman: "My current working theory is that shitcoins will wither and die not because idiot "crypto-investors" would somehow wisen up. There will be simply so many coins that the whole shitcoin space will turn into unholy mess of nothing but useless noise. We are moving there, slowly. "

punkman: I disagree though, there's not shitcoin-singularity coming
punkman: they will be around, like penny stocks, like forex scams, like email spam, like any of the saturated, beaten to death, scams
punkman: and of course the "unholy mess of nothing but useless noise" has come to pass long ago
asciilifeform: punkman: chumpatrons 'we shall always have with us' .
asciilifeform: shitcoins remain the most reliable scheme for turning over9000 morons' pocket change into some btc, afaik.
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-07-18 21:00:06 asciilifeform: erryone wants to 'be satoshi'. how to achieve this if not by somehow replaying history with $perp at 'the center'.
punkman: got a friend that got into forex, maybe decade ago. has lost some pocket change, keeps "experimenting" with bots, "play money" accounts, etc
asciilifeform: 'feeling like a trader'(tm)(r)(tlp)
punkman: tried to explain, in various ways, that all retail brokers are there to make him a chump. but he does not believe, thinks I'm conspiracy theorist.
asciilifeform: !q seen adlai
dulapbot: adlai last seen here on 2021-08-21 16:08:36: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-08-20#1053299 << I guess plaintext defaults to the latter; however, you can sanely expect no such gpggram within the next week, and now -- in plaintext! -- an apology for wasting your time with the logged babble.
asciilifeform: ( see also. )
dulapbot: Logged on 2020-12-28 11:45:08 asciilifeform: loong ago, also had experiments w/ trading bots (was pre-btcism, however) and w/ roughly same aim as adlai's -- laboured under the naive notion that could e.g. apply well-written cl to where the industrial chrematists were stuck w/ indian java monkeys, and exploit, to take 'some of what they thought was theirs'; see also lenin's 'грабь награбленное'(tm)(r).
punkman: told him to try buying/trading btc in 2014, hope he remembers
asciilifeform: lol
punkman: I've been stuck doing house repairs for full month, tiring but kinda interesting break from computer screen
asciilifeform: punkman: it's good for you.
dulapbot: Logged on 2020-07-19 13:39:04 asciilifeform: the fella who remarked to a young asciilifeform 'after N lines of coad, you will smash yer comp and build unabomber cabin' was a cpp programmer.
asciilifeform also planning a 'vacation' involving trucks, bricks, cement, etc
vex: I thought asciilifeform rented his abode
vex: mp would've completed his 42nd solar cirumnagiation today
vex can't wait to see alf's bricklaying... I expect the cnc brickbot is already half built
vex: on shitcoins: mp alluded to having orchestrated the first dao audit. was he using poetic license here?
vex: fuck I sound like rizzo
vex: the coindesk one, not the cocksucker from grease
