Yeah, the canceling out thing is hard to ignore. UoA and deep liquidity (hence easy arbitrage) is a tough thing to break from.

Was thinking other day though, that if you stretch out the time between trades, then you can more clearly see how it's different trading pairs, since usd price for things fluctuates a good deal over even relatively short times. I think it's a gradually then suddenly thing in the end. Maybe we slowly chip away at USD UoA as markets freeze up here and there, and people use BTC (or xmr..sigh) increasingly.

Originally you had save codes and could restore with gear, but had to start in initial location you start game in. That meant having to travel all the way through everything over again

Shall keep you posted. Managed to do longer than my gym partner, who's much younger, so that was cool

this is waxwing illustrating my point beautifully.

its ridiculous to believe you somehow get rid of the UoA *by dividing two prices denominated in that unit of account*

the result is *proportional USD value*. the USD doesn't magically disappear because THATS WHAT YOU MEASURED WITH.

there's an argument to be made that the proportion would work out the same, no matter what UoA the market was using to denominate prices.

but that doesn't hold water IMO.

if we had any isolated markets that were denominating freely in something like gold or silver (free of USD market influence), i dont think the valuation of commodities would work out AT ALL like the USD denominated markets do.

what we use as the underlying unit of account *distorts pricing*

and don't even get me started about "are USD consistent across different markets and at different points in time"

because they're not. your "lets see where there charts are next year" means little.

what you will be measuring with will be a *different "USD"

this must be deeply appreciated.

Pretty good articulation (compared to past ones), even if it's still a bit impossible to argue against the math. I still like the xmr discount you get in some specific markets as a concrete example, iirc. In that instance the arbitrage may not be wanted, as "cleaning the trail" might be considered more costly to seller than the discount.

Times dead gang just now, though in my defense it was at end of my workout (back and bi, with assisted pull-ups just prior). 35 seconds

Distro is short for distribution, which just means the flavor of Linux (eg mint, Ubuntu, pop, etc). Linux itself is I suppose everywhere...might be his point in the last statement. I admittedly may be missing something, but not expecting the elusive Chip to reply anytime soon

Loved the og one for some reason. Never played any others. Emulator of og one allowed saves at any spot, which was nice compared to the original saving scheme, though it did cheapen the struggle factor a lot

Yeah, I was only there for Bitcoin Twitter mostly, and it's gone to shit. I don't have the bandwidth or maybe level of interest, to follow all the breaking news stuff. Prefer to rely on a couple podcasts for that, mostly.

Cool. I rarely go to X, for some time now, but I noticed how many people I follow have dramatically less views or engagement than before. Not to mention how manipulated the feed seems. It stinks, but I get why you go there; I go to check out breaking or trending things mostly, and just for a few minutes
