[00:03:41] <Bytram> #g haram
[00:03:42] <MrPlow> https://en.wikipedia.org - "Haram is an Arabic term meaning \"forbidden\". Thus it may refer to: either something sacred to which access is forbidden to the people who are not in a state of purity or who are not initiated into the sacred knowledge; or to an evil thus \"sinful action that is forbidden to be done\". The term also denotes something \"set aside\", ..."

[00:27:28] <Bytram> by at least one measure, some people seem to think bacon is okay. ;)
[00:29:27] <chromas> bacon == islamophobia

[12:48:13] * exec unjustifiably refactors a gigabyte of minerals for cmn32480
[12:48:21] <cmn32480> I win
[13:24:19] <FatPhil> Hmmm, I just ran the numbers, assuming that the bubble can reach the same level of super-exponential growth as prior extreme bubbles, but no further, and if I've extrapolated correctly, the bitcoin crash will be just before new year, and somewhere between 50k and 100k.
[13:25:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> ~gday cmn32480
[13:25:37] * exec faithfully duplicates a speck of bellybutton lint for cmn32480
[13:25:56] <FatPhil> (i.e. anyone saying "it's bigger than tulips" has jumped the gun by 3+ weeks)
[13:27:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> FatPhil, it won't. you gotta factor in round number milestones and human psychology.
[13:27:57] <cmn32480> and don't forget to assume that something is perfectly spherical
[13:28:18] <FatPhil> yeah, I was assuming sphericality, definitely
[13:29:19] <FatPhil> It's almost impossible to accurately model (and thus extrapolate) exponentials. Being an order of magnitude out is good going. Super-exponential, and even having a similar number of digits is good going.
[13:30:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm honestly surprised it's gone as high as it has but since it has i'd put crash money at 20k or 25k if i were interested in playing with btc
[13:31:02] <FatPhil> my surprise is also high, that's why I've got this increasing freak-show interest in it.
[13:31:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> significant crash too. down to four digits again.
[13:33:08] <FatPhil> that bit I'm unwilling to predict, as it depends on whether it's the first crash, or the last crash... ;-)
[13:33:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah. btc always crashes hard when it crashes.
[13:34:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> cause so many of the players got no fucking idea what they're doing
[13:34:50] <FatPhil> 2013 was /2 only
[13:35:04] <FatPhil> but yes, the bigger idiots are *way* bigger idiots this time.

[13:44:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> well yeah. i mean i'm not sixteen anymore.
[13:45:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> need a smoke and a sammich between rounds nowadays. a nap'd be good too but not strictly necessary.
[13:46:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> heh, now google's censoring the polish government for not being PC about migrants
[13:47:34] <boru> Well, they are a censorship company. They are scorpion, you are frog.
[13:48:27] <boru> To quote Johnny Gilmore; the 'Net sees censorship as damage and routes around it.
[13:48:33] <boru> New platforms will emerge.

[16:16:41] <FatPhil> yup, but how dare you get some amusement out of it - you don't deserve that. I need to bore you as much as I bore my fellow beer nerds.
