signpost[asciilifeform]: ~340 blocks remain
asciilifeform: 2-3d worth
asciilifeform: reich, however, dumped coupla yrs of mine's worth, and has at least as much remaining to dump afaik
asciilifeform: (not even to mention the papercoin machine...)
asciilifeform: $ticker btc usd
signpost[asciilifeform]: eh I'm a patient man
signpost[asciilifeform]: gbtc dumped 300k coins already and we're still in the $60,000s
signpost[asciilifeform]: sooner the rest make it into stronger hands (e.g. king of Qatar or UAE) the better
signpost[asciilifeform]: looking at stonks, who knows. maybe they gut the pig. maybe they fatten him up for another year.
asciilifeform finds it peculiar that (afaik) no one, anywhere, ever asks why the fuck reich is able to refill its btc piggy when umpteenth dpr is busted. have the latter never heard of not keeping plaintext keyz around ? or wat
signpost[asciilifeform]: dpr seems like a guy that lucked into a bunch of drug flows because he was dumb enough to run the shop / take the fall.
signpost[asciilifeform]: iirc he was hacked of BTC prior to getting busted, and this brought about no enlightenment.
signpost[asciilifeform]: may even be an element of death by cop in it. he fell for elementary entrapment.
signpost[asciilifeform]: guy's hindbrain might've wanted to subvert him.
asciilifeform: signpost: let's suppose. but 100% of the others, rly? either reich simply lies re 'we found over9000 coin' (mp's version iirc) or 100% of the perps are diagnosable morons
asciilifeform: the 'dpr bust coins 1.0, 2.0, ... N were a fiction' hypothesis not holds up, given that the waterfall never seems to run outta water (and the coins being dumped not often appear to be freshly mined)
asciilifeform: ( for thread-completeness: it is of course possible that reich fills waterfall primarily by mining (paid for with printola, at e.g. nsa) and then traded for 'used' coin at reich exchanges, ~then~ dumped )
