see pediwiki entry: "Kiev is the traditional English name for the city,[25][28][29] but because of its historical derivation from the Russian name, Kiev became disfavored in many Western media outlets after the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War." |
| 20:56 |
billymg |
basically to signal allegiance with the regime you better be sure to spell it "Kyiv" which is now its preferred pro^H^H^Hname |
| 21:00 |

re: btc price, i think some of it is waterfall and some of it is gamblers losing to the house via leverage and alt coins. this hunch makes a lot of sense from a pure self-interest POV. if i were a billionaire and wanted to acquire btc i'd do so otc and occasionally dampen the exchange rate as i continue buying |

exchanges can't not be colluding to crash, knowing exacactly when every trader moron is gonna be liquidated |
| 23:24 |

thats a tall claim, implying every exchange incl binance has opened their order books to the reich |
| 23:25 |
thimbronion |
mats: I'm specifically not making that claim, to clarify, although I believe asciilifeform is. |
| 23:25 |

causing crashes dries up orders, which costs them fees |

goxes wont even shut out all russian nationals despite reich attempts to do so |

the reich needs legislative remedies to make it stick |

if that friction persists, i expect goxcoins to trade at a mild discount compared to realcoin |

like eurodollars have a premium |

yes, so you could argue the gox coins are at a discount compared to the ATM coins |

no, the atm coins are discounted |
| 23:57 |

because they don't carry the markup |

ok, i follow now, but its not exactly the same thing |

really? pretty sure they're discounted when *selling* |
| 23:58 |
mats |
the atm operators are extracting a premium to make markets |
| 23:58 |

sure, but the net effect is "pay premium for non gox coins" i.e. gox coins essentially have a discount |
