yea, already read that. I was more looking for any current figures.
that wikipedia article is quite old.
Quote
The firm's private-company transactions, which totaled $100 million in 2009, quadrupled by 2010 to $400 million. Based on first-quarter results, SecondMarket could broker $1 billion in private-company shares in 20118

only found some interesting reviews of former employees:
http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/SecondMarket-Reviews-E432167.htm
and this article
http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/25/secondmarket-confirms-layoffs-to-have-leaner-cost-structure-become-break-even/

ehh...really sounds perfect for bitcoin  Tongue

Maybe old news around here but someone might be trying to front-run this.



how big is this? I never heard of secondmarket before. Good sign though it's US and registered with SEC so they should have figured out the legal stuff.

We had a purebread Mau up until he passed away this year!
Funny to see people here talking about one...
i just scrolled through a lot of catpics and found just one existing breeder in my country. (it must be really very rare to find)
that's the most elegant and beautiful race I've ever seen.
sorry for your loss, must haven been an interesting experience having such an animal by your side...


...what am I doing here - i am talking about cats in the wallobserver thread....i have to delete this stuff tomorrow Cheesy


ehm I meant....1h chart looks quite bullish, inverse hammer forming....
time to rally a bit up and test 140 again Cool

i hope this sounded kind of right

704  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker - Hardcore on: September 25, 2013, 12:40:15 AM

dude, thats one of those wild cats some western morons try to domesticate, right... do you have the original video?
sorry for OT, but i think it's an egyptian mau  Wink
quite a rare natural breed, only 6800 registered since 2006

Children of Men
this movie has absolutely ground-breaking camera work

3min shot "Car scene", no cut
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkb0SecL-9I

Historically one of the best shots of the last decade:
"Uprising scene" (whole version is a much longer steadicam shot around 10 min again no cut!!!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twcKoAQ7HIg
it even got the SOC Award 2012 by society of camera operators...(background info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvq3fKgvzro)


and of course the "Cease Fire" scene at the end. Emotionally one of my alltime favourites moments of western cinema. (you need to watch the whole movie to understand the culmination in this scene though)

sell it and donate the money to China Labor Watch (http://www.chinalaborwatch.org/),
these guys are more in urgent need of a strong labour union than you are in need of a new iphone every year.

so it's coloured and has nearly same hardware as the one you already have which is fully functional...seriously?  Huh
any sense of sustainability?
apple is the f***ing mcdonalds for hightech products combined with a cult- like marketing strategy that let's even scientology go green with envy.

(in a year they add extra rhinestones made out of steve jobs' ashes to sell that stuff)


edit: sorry for ranting...i'm a bit overtired but nevertheless I can't stand that lifestyle of irrational consumption

Remember when he was a bear? Wouldn't want that to happen right after I subscribe :-)
when was that? I only know the 180-Adam.
That's because you subscribed on the board the day of the bubble LOL
jup, i probably chose the shittiest point in time to get into the game. (bought first coins some weeks before I registered here and then it was exactly on my birthday when value crashed down to 50 Tongue)
got properly burnt several times during the aftermath but the dip in July helped to get back on track and by listening to the right people in this thread I even made a small profit. Cool

*turnsonminelight*
well then, time to go deep down into adam's archive to find more evidence for bearish mutations in the past. I hope I don't get lost in there.  



this is why bitcoinbullbear avoids emotions
this "Zen-like" state is without any emotions but only a confidence that next rally/dump will come anyway and only some whales will decide if it goes ok with their charts. (perhaps i just got used to watch from the sideline and hold lately)
to be honest I find betting on sports games more predictable than development of btcvalue atm especially with the deformation of gox' withdrawal situation.

I admit: I sold some coins because I'm such an emotional animal and experienced some angst the price might drop significantly. But really, I don't believe so.

I recommend a subscription to adam's bitmovements newsletter.
It gives me a well-balanced sentiment of deep and omnipresent bullishness. almost feels like trading in Zen mode  Cheesy

Hlynur, so good to see your return to discussion of films. It's been lonely in this land devoid of cinephiles. I got your message. Haven't replied yet, obviously. Please pick back up the Asian films thread - plenty more to say, but it helps when there's someone else to converse with.
couldn't resist posting.  Cheesy
will continue in asian movie thread this we when I've watched some of your recommendations.
Don't feel too confident now to discuss about asian cinematography when I see your knowledge.
At least I can contribute some of the gems I've stumbled upon.

Thank you for this thread, just discovered, gonna spend a few time watching the ones I haven't seen yet. Smiley
I'd like to contribute with, not a documentary, an episode of The Good Wife, Season 3, Episode 13, Bitcoin for Dummies, it's the only episode I've watched from that show.

hey somebody got lost in my thread, sometimes feels like a monologue in here
feel free to share suggestions on the subject. My aim is to provide a well-graded list of objective and high quality documentaries.

thank you very much for posting this!!!
it's one of the best documentaries i've seen so far on the whole situation going on in the world and it does it without driving into the widely-used conspiracy- or tinfoilmode.

i'll add it to the documentary thread. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=268955.0)
