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