[07:03] <Unit193> Tornados hit several places around where I am now.
[13:50] <canthus13> never blindly run apt-get autoremove.
[14:39] <dzho> never blindly run any of the things
[15:20] <thafreak> bitcoin hit new high of $620 just now...
[15:21] <dzho> volatility really just means no one has any idea what it's worth
[15:22] <dzho> drastic changes in fundamentals can underpin drastic changes in price/exchange rate
[15:40] <thafreak> it hasn't been really volatile...just keeps going up
[15:40] <thafreak> we were discussing how it was about to hit $500 just this past friday at lunch
[15:40] <dzho> no, it has been hella volatile
[15:41] <thafreak> a few months ago it was way up and way down
[15:41] <thafreak> latelty, it's just going up
[15:41] <dzho> yes, and currencies don't do that, usually
[15:41] <thafreak> the last few weeks
[15:41] <thafreak> which is why i'm cashing in a little here and there, like 0.01 at a time
[15:42] <thafreak> converting it to USD, but leaving the funds in mtgox, so when (hopefully) it crashes, I can buy back much cheaper
[15:42] <dzho> the housing bubble took years to pop
[15:43] <dzho> and there was an identifiable asset, there (usually)
[15:43] <thafreak> well, this is like the housing market on pcp+meth+steroids+crack+a few pounds of coke
[15:43] <thafreak> and redbull
[15:43] <dzho> not counting the whole derivatives thing, in which there was no "there" there
[15:44] <thafreak> so, if this market's time is like dog years compared to normal markets, how long before it bursts?
[15:44] <thafreak> People were talking about $1000/btc by sometime next year...but at this rate, it could hit that in a week or two
[15:45] <thafreak> before Christmas
[21:30] <dzho> timing the burst is the real problem with bubbles
[21:30] <dzho> if you have a mercenary mind, that is
[21:30] <dzho> or, rather, if you're a bear, you'll get hit by the burst, and you want to get the hell out of the way.
[21:32] <thafreak> what'd i say the high was? :)
[21:32] <thafreak> it just hit $750 a few minutes ago
[21:33] <thafreak> after the people in this congressional hearing kept saying that virtual currencies aren't necessarily illegal, as long as you don't use them for things like money laundering
[21:33] <thafreak> boom, jumped almost $100
[21:35] <dzho> oh, so good thing no one uses it for *that* then
[21:35] <dzho> buttcoiners apparently struggle with the conditional
[21:36] <thafreak> the guy testifying now says the problem with the internet, is that people are becoming more anonymous on the internet
[21:37] <dzho> heh
[21:38] <dzho> welcome to the late 20th century, dude
[21:38] <dzho> who is this schmoe?
[21:40] <thafreak> some guy involved with a child exploitation group
[21:40] <thafreak> well, a group you know, against exploitation
[21:40] <thafreak> his closing argument was basically, we shouldn't allow a completely anonymous internet
[21:41] <dzho> because that's how the world works:  you just ban everything that is scary, dangerous, or you don't understand.
[21:41] <dzho> I mean, look at how well that worked out for drugs & alcohol!
[21:41] <dzho> what could possibly go wrong
[21:56] <thafreak> so...i just put 2 disks in an optical drive and was wondering  why it was making really bad sounds
[22:28] <dzho> heh
[22:28] <dzho> thafreak: you mean, you put them in the retractable cup holder?
