awt[asciilifeform]: !!ticker btc usd
asciilifeform still finds interesting that entire notion of 'btc biz' (if one ignores idjit shitcoin shenanigans, as asciilifeform does) seems to have 100% gone away. like roman empire.
asciilifeform: even elementary thing like being able to buy a coin outside of a gox -- distant memory (at least in the reich lands)
awt[asciilifeform]: asciilifeform: you want to buy a coin outside of a gox?
awt[asciilifeform]: Just completed non-gox trade.
lobbes[asciilifeform]: awt: was this an in-wot trade? I assume anyone trading outside a gox these days is using contacts in their respective wots
lobbes[asciilifeform] wishes he built up such contacts when local bitcoins was a thing back then
lobbes[asciilifeform]: I lead myself to believe that my auctionbot (with its btc micro-fees) would continue to have a reason to exist; got too comfy
awt[asciilifeform]: lobbes: no it was not. bisq.
awt[asciilifeform]: lobbes: I also wish I'd been able to keep up with contacts. Used to be able to pull off btc -> yuan -> cash
