awt[cgra|asciilifeform]: !!ticker btc usd
deedbot[cgra]: $22,465
asciilifeform: !!ticker btc usd
billymg[asciilifeform]: maybe bot should be automated to chime on the hour
asciilifeform always wanted 'chime when # of digits changes'
awt[asciilifeform]: !!ticker btc usd
signpost[asciilifeform]: wild that they're going with the destruction of the reserve status of USD.
signpost[asciilifeform]: I suppose at some point the propaganda that sustains "of course we're not exporting our inflation" seeps into the bureaucracies themselves.
signpost[asciilifeform]: mmt of course being paper-thin cover for this.
asciilifeform: signpost: wouldn't such destruction require presence of a better-looking horse in the fiatola glue factory ?
signpost[asciilifeform]: asciilifeform: check out this pleading for example.
signpost[asciilifeform]: US is giving it away with this mismanagement. about to print however-many trillion more.
asciilifeform: signpost: e.g. cn, not printing ? afaik errybody's printing
signpost[asciilifeform]: there's been chatter re: establishing a "BRICS" currency, and CN in particular has been hovering up gold like mad.
signpost[asciilifeform]: of course the chinese will lie, cheat, steal, but question is whether the world's tired enough of our shit to try out their imperial management over ours.
asciilifeform not convinced that cn is decoupled from anglo reich to the degree implied in this hypothetical
asciilifeform: and for that matter, imho the popular framing of 'fate of usd' as a spontaneous catastrophe of whatever kind, is a lol. is, rather, controlled demolition.
dulapbot: (asciilifeform) 2021-08-09 asciilifeform: where lizards slowly 'boiling the frog' to wind down the plebes' expectations in life to correspond to the meager crumbs they are to be given.
dulapbot: Logged on 2023-01-20 14:48:56 asciilifeform: signpost: the crash in question strictly among the white folx with 'unreasonable' expectations (such as not living 7 to a room, or making use of hospitals, etc)
asciilifeform: ^ apparently links go to ??? in billymg's logotron
signpost[asciilifeform]: reserve currencies end. it'd be upon the person claiming this one wont to say what's different.
billymg[asciilifeform]: asciilifeform: is that a different item from yesterday's discussion?
asciilifeform: they end. then story repeats.
asciilifeform: billymg: same
asciilifeform: billymg: well, with the diff that pest logs also desynced (this has 0 workable solution until proper log-serving pestron is a thing, afaik)
billymg[asciilifeform]: right, other than just turning off the munging for nsa log links (which i'm doing now)
asciilifeform: billymg: ty
billymg[asciilifeform] went into the code today somewhat dreading having to load it into head again, sees comment: # For Other_Loggers (see config) -- "ah, nice, i made it a knob"
billymg[asciilifeform]: might need to restart bot though, only seeing its echoes in the web logs, not in the irc client
signpost[asciilifeform]: asciilifeform: what about the Saudis moving to settle oil transactions in non-USD currencies? also non-event?
signpost[asciilifeform] obviously rooting for a particular outcome here, fully admit.
bitbot[asciilifeform]: billymg: time since my last reconnect : 0d 0h 3m
billymg[asciilifeform]: ok, bot restarted and echoing in channel again, also nsa log links on www no longer converted to bitdash log links
billymg[asciilifeform]: i don't fully buy the "east/west is the new red/blue" theory. not that i think china would somehow be a better master or anything, just that i can't see china (or muslims, or russians) looking at US elites and thinking "these are reasonable people, maybe we could work with them"
billymg[asciilifeform]: i think perhaps at one point they tried that, and then the US responded in bad faith, as they do (sanctions, color revolutions, exporting inflation and degeneracy, etc.)
billymg[asciilifeform]: why would anyone want to go into business with a party that acts the way the US does
billymg[asciilifeform]: unless you absolutely have to, and they no longer do
bitbot[asciilifeform]: Logged on 2023-03-13 17:37:42 billymg: ok, bot restarted and echoing in channel again, also nsa log links on www no longer converted to bitdash log links
crtdaydreams[asciilifeform]: let the sync begin \o/
crtdaydreams[asciilifeform]: aaaand oz govt just annouced a plan to build and maintain nuclear subs fml
