18:59 punkman these seem handy if you wanna steal neighbor's electricity
~ 2 hours 39 minutes ~
21:39 vex Why not start looking around for coins sitting there for the taking, rather than hedging 1%? You needn't be crafting 100m flashloans to find stuff that isn't glued down
21:39 dulapbot Logged on 2021-10-29 14:20:55 mats: depending on the battle among the 'smart contract' stupids ethereum, cardano, solana, etc, considering hedging 1% on the strongest contender in a future bear market
21:51 signpost sitting where?
21:53 mats smart contracts presumably
21:54 vex there's a new dex, token, chain!? every minute, there's always arbitage opportunity for instance
21:55 mats these swap platforms keep getting pwned though
21:55 vex true dat
22:02 signpost point of money was always to give myself time to think. I don't want these turds taking up head-space.
↖
22:04 vex that's a good point, it could easily be a slippery slope into full blown huffer
22:04 signpost eh, less concerned with that, just that one dies eventually, and doesn't get the time back.
22:06 vex you're a lot mellower these days sign
22:06 mats there's definitely money in defi but i don't know where the sharks are
22:08 mats less exposure involved in simpler things like gemini's interest account products for bitcoins and stablecoins
22:08 vex start with 0 mats, then who cares if sharks
22:08 mats i mean risk, not exposure
22:09 signpost I figure by the time I hear about a shitcoin, or some yield-farming scheme, the rug's already being pulled
22:09 mats gemini usd and tether rehypothecation has reliably been 7-8% interest for many years
22:09 signpost mats: I've considered the gemini thing, but unclear why they're still operating but coinbase got stopped
22:10 mats its not insured or anything, but at that return it looks less risky than a REIT
22:12 mats gemini is onshore and relatively transparent, they're not likely running away
22:12 signpost I'm more getting at "oops SEC fined us, money's all gone"
22:13 signpost anyway, I'm bad at finance, just born at the right time.
22:13 mats you're right, sec is selectively enforcing
22:16 signpost vex: re "mellow", who doesn't like watching the empire burn.
22:16 vex lol
22:18 mats celsius and nexo have also been targeted for enforcement action recently
22:18 vex all this smart contract defi shit is super scriptkiddiesque
22:19 mats blockfi also, but not gemini
22:20 signpost as said the other day and for years in tmsr, the blockchain has to interface with the real world at some point (through humans) no matter how complicated you make using UTXOs with scripts.
22:20 signpost real reason to do this is to create complexity which manufactures crises which cause node operators of a chain to rely upon "updates" from a development team
22:20 signpost it centralizes.
22:31 mats in hn re-runs, https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Tech/Semiconductors/TSMC-founder-chides-U.S.-plan-for-full-chip-supply-chain-onshore
22:44 vex what are the barriers to bringing up a whole supply chain for chips?
22:49 vex I'g guessing a job on the line at TSMC would be somewhat prestegious, not any bozo will do
22:52 mats expertise and money
22:53 vex 52bn not enough, and all the expertise is elsewhere
22:53 mats usg has been trying to bully s. korea and tw into technology transfers, ie, https://english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/english_editorials/1013072.html
22:56 vex customer lists?! that's like they want to know who's buying what, rather than being able to make their own shit
22:57 mats https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-says-firms-may-meet-chip-data-request-amid-taiwan-south-korea-concerns-2021-10-22
22:59 mats i couldn't find a complete list anywhere, but daimler and bmw have also received the demand
23:02 mats https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/09/24/2021-20348/notice-of-request-for-public-comments-on-risks-in-the-semiconductor-supply-chain list of questions in there
23:05 vex meh, mebbe it's just a clickbait style tender process
23:10 vex I'm tempted to respond. even tho I never got the email
23:20 vex could be hilarious. gregory5, lil help making the technical chinglish sound believable?
23:27 punkman this guy makes a lot of video about chip makers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB8qIO6Ti_M
23:28 punkman EU too retarded to fund a TSMC competitor
23:29 punkman considering the top litho machines are made in Netherlands
23:29 vex eu values private enterprise
~ 15 minutes ~
23:45 vex it's a pity that mp dissovled the co with alf. also a pity he thought xrays were a waste of time
↖
23:49 vex luckily, alf isn't now burdened with a co involving 400 bc of unobtanium
23:50 vex almost like mp knew he would ak1200
