mircea_popescu: dude, if it were made from the winds...
mircea_popescu: either farts or wing turbulence.

ThickAsThieves: what are your colors? oh, nothing unusual, wind
mircea_popescu: we sound pretty wicca.
BingoBoingo: Eh, why not just use a couple thousand shades of purple arranged such that no two splotches have a delta greater than 3
mircea_popescu: our colors are wind and that shot of pain urmom felt that one time.
BingoBoingo: Picking colors I think the priority should be, what would be the biggest pain in nubbins` ass...

Then one day she meets this John Holmes motherfucker and it's like, whoa baby, I mean this cat is like Charles Bronson in the 'Great Escape', he's digging tunnels. Now, she's gettin' the serious dick action and
mircea_popescu: she's feeling something she ain't felt since forever. Pain. Pain. It hurts her. It shouldn't hurt her, you know, her pussy should be Bubble Yum by now, but when this cat fucks her it hurts. It hurts just like it did the first time. You see the pain is reminding a fuck machine what it once was like to be a virgin. Hence, 'Like a Virgin'.
ThickAsThieves: to get them blue without being purple is hard
mircea_popescu: cymk process sucks huh.
ThickAsThieves: yep

mircea_popescu: o.O
HeySteve: hi mircea_popescu, I'd like to talk about F.DERP now if that's convenient
mircea_popescu: shoot.
HeySteve: ok the companies concerned are BitPay and BitGo?
mircea_popescu: so far, yes.
mircea_popescu: mthreat http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=tits+from%3Amircea+haslink%3Atrue << ok that shit's epic.
assbot: tits from:mircea haslink:true
HeySteve: ok from the original post (checking for new ones) I take it the reasoning is that they're overvalued?
mircea_popescu: well, more properly put, the reasoning is that they will never make in the course of their business enough money to pay back that round of investment.
mircea_popescu: so someone with 30mn looking to invest in bitcoin would have been better served by buying bitcoin than participating in the series a.
mircea_popescu: this, of course, is a very old story : with the exception of mpex listed corps, it is universally true of any other exchange or broad group.
mircea_popescu: be it glbse or us based vc investments.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 13700 @ 0.00080808 = 11.0707 BTC [+]
HeySteve: I don't know much about BitGo honestly, but it seems the success of BitPay is very closely linked with Bitcoin's success. doesn't that make this something of a bet against Bitcoin's continued merchant adoption?
mircea_popescu: the success of bitpay has exactly zero to do with the success of bitcoin, is the problem.
mircea_popescu: they're trying to leech it, which only works for so long. what's worse, their burn rate is killing them.
thestringpuller: hahahaha
HeySteve: ok it sounds like you've taken a very close look into their financials. could you explain what you mean by burn rate?
asciilifeform: 'bitpay' is to btc use is as 'wine' (winblows emulation gizmo) is to the use of linux.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: lol bitcoin-assets will develop irc tools that will give irccloud a run for their money... << will ? seriously ? show me irc tools that can compare.
ThickAsThieves: bitpay also has to worry about someone like PayPal coming in "Thanks for warming our seat!"
mircea_popescu: HeySteve burn rate is a common concept in start-ups
mircea_popescu: the rate at which they spend money.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: what if I change will to is?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aptly put, i would say.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller deal.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves precisely. no barrier to entry
mircea_popescu: coinbase is already moving into that, with no difficulty.
mircea_popescu: of course, coinbase is a piece of shit, but there';s no requirement that next competitor is also a piece of shit
HeySteve: any plans to add further companies?
ThickAsThieves: bitpay/coinbase only chance is landing exclusive contracts with poor terms for the merchant (still a leech job)
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03: what kind of gullible fuck pays to bang a virgin? << if you pay to fuck in general, why not.
mircea_popescu: HeySteve yes, as mentioned in the article. any corps that make bold claims in the future will go in there.
Mats_cd03: it'd be boring, thats why.
ThickAsThieves: this is why they brag and compete over new notable merchants, it's all they have - those contract terms
BingoBoingo: HeySteve: Bitpay is sponsoring a fucking bowl game. They probably spent ~10% of their last round on a notoriously poor form of advertising.
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 the guy's own money! he can spend it any old way he wants!
Mats_cd03: indeed
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves a business model based on tricking people isn't a good match for ipo anyway
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo forced mistakes.
HeySteve: BingoBoingo, yeah I saw that... will it at least be seen on national TV?
ThickAsThieves: i dont mind BitPay though, they are taking one for the team
ThickAsThieves: go ahead an advertise the shit outta bitcoin
ThickAsThieves: their loss, our gain
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i don't mind them either, honestly, but a) people found out about gallippi's past, and generally, the thing's coming apart. gotta cut them loose.

mircea_popescu: dub:heh, -assets doxxes NSA two weeks before snowden << ain't history a wunderbar thing :D
mircea_popescu: HeySteve yeah, i suppose it would be.
HeySteve: right, and BitGo, what is the reasoning behind including them?
ThickAsThieves: i dunno, it's kinda a sad hedge, being that those companies are relying on bitcoin
mircea_popescu: bitcoin shit is weird by nature, but hedge fund generally means "this pool of money doing exotic shit"
mircea_popescu: HeySteve that they announced a 10mn round. from the article :
mircea_popescu: For everyi Series A / seed funding announced by the circlejerk that is either in excess of 1 million USD or for a company valued through such funding over 100 million USD, I will create a synthetic asset on MPEx.

mircea_popescu: HeySteve on their alleged funding, yes.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves by the set of lawsuit threats i would guess they know.
ThickAsThieves: nice
ThickAsThieves: on what grounds?
ThickAsThieves: you said our name in a thing!
mircea_popescu: uh... believe it or not, mostly sec regulation
ThickAsThieves: i see
mircea_popescu: funny how blinders work, you know ? these people have... finance lawyers. who went to school and lived in a pond
mircea_popescu: what do you mean this guy could not care less ? that is not possible ?
HeySteve: well... it seems many startups are raking in king's ransoms just because there's a lot of enthusiasm around Bitcoin... so by shorting, you are risking exposure to these kind of bubbles?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 2560 @ 0.00080902 = 2.0711 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: yes. can you name people that got rich in the dot com bubble ?
mircea_popescu: name a dozen, then see what % did it by shorting it.
HeySteve: hmm many got rich then poor in quick succession
HeySteve: few were wise enough to sell or short at the top
mircea_popescu: (and i don't mean "were briefly rich during the bubble". i mean "are rich today and were not before that")
ThickAsThieves: sounds like these bitcoin company CEOs
mircea_popescu: Namworld: Getting there slowly. << what's your horizon, next year like ?
HeySteve: I think mostly the guys who sold their companies during the mania made out like bandits
HeySteve: investors not so much
mircea_popescu: so the guys who... SHORTED IT
ThickAsThieves: i dont think the btc startup bubble will be nearly as bad
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves bet ?
ThickAsThieves: in dollars
mircea_popescu: fu :D
HeySteve: I hear what you're saying, the art is in the timing
ThickAsThieves: hehe
ThickAsThieves: what i mean is,
mircea_popescu: HeySteve no timing involved. if you sell your corp in the bubble and walk away you shorted the bubble.
ThickAsThieves: i think the need to buy bitocin in addition to any VC investment related to a bitcoin co is obvious
ThickAsThieves: and thus theyll all do it
ThickAsThieves: and save some skin
mircea_popescu: obvious, to whom.
HeySteve: mircea_popescu yes in a sense, I know a guy who was offered a fortune for his finance site but held on
ThickAsThieves: tony
ThickAsThieves: barry
ThickAsThieves: etc
mircea_popescu: stuff like f.derp is MAKING it obvious
mircea_popescu: but no, it's not obvious.
ThickAsThieves: maybe youre right
mircea_popescu: HeySteve is he rich ?
ThickAsThieves: it wasnt always obvious to me
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves never estimate just how lemming-like finance types are/.
mircea_popescu: it can't be done.
HeySteve: mircea_popescu, he's very comfortable I'd say, retired now, but he could have been loaded
mircea_popescu: that's the one profession that most selects for lemming qualities. more so than military even
mircea_popescu: HeySteve mkay.
HeySteve: yeah moneyweb.co.za if you're interested
HeySteve: mircea_popescu, any similar products to F.DERP which you're aware of?
ThickAsThieves: cuz all the accountibility leads to all these illusions of predicting things
mircea_popescu: punkman: they just called 3 times to sell me a new ISP << they call my phone here too. to sell me... comcast and shit.
mircea_popescu: HeySteve not really. i don't think the world has spawned yet such an asshole so as to be able to match with me.
asciilifeform: comcast in Ar ?!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have no fucking idea.
ThickAsThieves: mp can you use your power to break comcast?
HeySteve: mircea_popescu heh some people probably won't appreciate this fund, but it expands an investor's options so I don't see the downside
mircea_popescu: but daily call logs have at the end : "spam - comcast, netflix, pizzahut" etc
ThickAsThieves: thx
mircea_popescu: HeySteve the downside is that it sinks the hype, which is a very major problem.
asciilifeform: u.s. phone extension ?
mircea_popescu: the entire vc circuit lives out of hype.
mircea_popescu: so in their perspective, this is a disaster of commons sort of situation : a bunch of people work to inflate bubbles, all it takes to ruin theireffort is one guy with a pin

mircea_popescu: HeySteve too much hassle with future chains. if you want them short you buy f.derp, if you want them long you just get to select d.whatever
