Mon Mar 14 18:48:56 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> if more people had at any point throughout the intervening tax seasons stopped and thought "hey, i made whatever, 100k dollars this year, of which i'm signing off 60k to usg - might as well send tmsr the 0.1% it charges in tax!" then perhaps the foundation would have enough money and i could just donate it there as an endpoint.

Mon Mar 14 18:36:12 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> iirc originally a chunk was sold, then sometime early last year or perhaps late 2014 the remainder of the shares were distributed to the principals. iirc i didn't sell much, mostly now and again to try and temper overexcited price action. should be something like .5 to maybe 3mn shares outstanding depending how much kako himself sold.
Mon Mar 14 18:32:16 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> but hey, if that's above what can be had, whatever, i'll build a shrine to allah / brothel / whatever out of the proceeds and that's that.

Mon Mar 14 18:27:13 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> so in this sense, bitbet's coffers ARE mp's coffers, and no separation is to be had.
Mon Mar 14 18:27:00 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> phf there's no guarantee offered or even contemplated that bitcoin is not fungible.
