My guess is that if bitcoin becomes really big, the revolution will not be that "clean".

What the fuck is fonzie doing here?

He promised me to get the fuck out of here if bitcoin would ever hit 550$.

Keep your word, have some dignity, get out.

What makes you think he has any kind of dignity taking into account his posts?

Should have bid $620.10 or so. As long as you arent a whale this works. (If there was a massive wall there, then $622.10 or something along those lines gives you a much greater chance of being hit)

Yeah probably I should do that but the lowest was 621.86 on Stamp and I wish I was a whale Cheesy

No improvement over CryptoNote

They sucessfully hide the link between sender and receiver, was that done by CryptoNote?

What is troubling me is this dynamic trust network over trustless network...

Hun? Math is an abstract tool that helps us making models of the world among other things. How are the natural numbers any different?

A lot of mathematicians seems to be platonists, like if mathematical concepts had an independent reality outside of man... but that's just naive dogmatism.

No, it was discovered by man, not made.
The mathematics of 1 + 1 equals 2 already existed billion years ago.

Discovered math where? Where did it exist?

'Kronecker might be the most famous of the Pre-Intuitionists for his singular and oft quoted phrase, "God made the natural numbers; all else is the work of man."'

I often forget that y'all are not in my mind.  (Or rather, that y'all are not aware that y'all are in my mind.)  Sorry.

Yep it is indeed similar do the belief in god.

I'm not a mathematical intuitionist, but formalist. Anyway, maybe this is not the right place to talk about philosophy of mathematics Wink

In Hilbert space, of course.  (Well, technically, Banach space.)

Saying that math concepts are in reality independent of a mind is like saying that the concept of a chair is the object to which it refers with the word "chair".

I can think of the concept squared circle, does it have any reality outside of my mind? It seems to be an impossibility.

It existed right after the big bang or creation by god, pick your flavour.

Math is the only language possible extra terrestrials could understand.
With math you would be able to communicate with "them" since the rules apply to our entire universe.
This proves math was not made by man, but discovered.

Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_with_extraterrestrial_intelligence


So big bang, space, time/motion and math? Then atoms could form, then matter. Yeah make sense... lol

Another intelligent species would also have minds, probably also abstraction, so by interpreting our models they would be able to understand what we mean with them.  But what impossibilitates aliens from having a system different from ours that also represents reality? Maybe their system could be even better than our own...

If we rebound now it's like SR all over again.

you know what? when SR first got busted I thought that if they actually ever went through on the auction it would be bullish.

I thought that it would give bitcoin an air of legitimacy in the public eye that their gov't is earning 15 million dollars from selling bitcoin.

This auction should get a TON of news, and it shows the impression that the gov't is totally fine and comfortable with buying and selling bitcoin.


It would be so cool if this is just a SR type dip. These are the silk road coins after all.

 Cool

makes sense i guess

this is fud at its finest...

its not the first time a pool gets 51% miners will hear about this FUD and stop mining at the huge pool because its in there best interest



So what if it's not the first time? It only means that people didn't learn the first time and probably it will take something bad to happen for people to start caring seriously about this.

Daniel Dennett actually believes in free will himself, but his arguments for it are flawed imo. I prefer Tom Campbell's ideas on consciousness and free will, although I believe he doesn't have the full picture either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AihD2__gKE

Where did he say that? Shocked I guess depends on the definition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-Nj_rEqkyQ

He showed a deterministic computer simulation on a talk as analogy with us. We react to the environment... What he actually means by free will is freedom of action.

Man can do what he wills but he cannot will what he wills. -  Schopenhauer

(That said, I must also say that I don't see that auction as responsible for the current drop.  I imagine that most traders knew it would happen, so they have it "priced in" already; and most traders should not see it as a big deal.)

I think most would disagree, it seems clear that the sale is responsible for the recent drop.  If you want to keep to the efficient market hypothesis, you could say that a large percentage of traders thought the SR sale wouldn't happen, due to the US not wanting to be seen to sell bitcoins (because it would supposedely give them legitimacy).

Now has the market priced in the sale of DPRs coins?  I think the timing will make a difference, because of the limited supply of bitcoin on the markets.  The price will drop if/when he is convicted.

I'm expecting either a strong bounce from this line



or more waterfalls...

or just sideways 'till the auction

or, I really don't know anymore, I started listening to some guy talk about consciousness and reality and watching bitcoin prices and wondering about the relation between adoption and valuation and how a "particle" approaching a pair of slits is not really a particle until someone has observed and taken note of which slit it went through, recording the information in our consciousness, and how that is similar to a transaction before it is recorded in a block. Once recorded in the blockchain, that transaction is REAL ... or at least real in the terms that we can perceive it from within our own little reality bubble.

So what happened? Where is the cheap coins party? Where are all the people showing how they gobbled up tons of cheap coins?
