Not quite what I hear them saying, but here's a sobering narrative on markets and the situation.

Calm your tits ChuckBuck,

I see you've removed your hat and you're looking for Fiat.
This one's more suitable for you today.

That's the problem, its all just narrative and the herd will believe anything as long as it has some feeling-threat of impact on their lives. They don't tend to wise up very quickly.  Look how many still run the 9/11 narrative.

The age of Bitcoin education is still early.  Bitcoin moves like normal markets today because normal (Keynesian) thinking is applied.
Nothing has changed, there's still ONLY 21 million while its hedge is bottomless.
Bitcoin will not 'perform' well when cash is seen as the stronger asset such as today when people are thinking a recession/depression is coming. It's true, cash will be useful, until its not.   Bitcoin will 'perform' well when inflation is felt or if the dollar collapses or is de-platformed globally, FED fails or is removed, people overthrow banking & wall street, basically the hedge is -Bitcoin will perform well in monetary reform

Hodl and by all means stack stats if you can.

Thank you mindrust, your contribution was appreciated. Now above 5k- you may re-enter above 6k.

Wuhan travels, especially to S.Vietnam.  Chinese are the largest tourist sector (were).
I have fair reason to believe the virus has been around longer than the announcement dates in December/ January.

We now have friends whom have caught and recovered (not official tested), myself and my SO included. If that's accurate, it was a weak ass flu that takes you down for 2-3 days then low level energy for a few days, but a slow full recovery and if you've got any existing (respiratory for example) compromises, it'll hang out there until the immune system finally kicks which could take weeks (which was my case)  2 other friends also became sick, 40's and 50's during my stay on Phu Quy in January where I caught it from, they recovered within a week.
The friend who we suspect caught it in Milan, traveled to S.Africa before showing symptoms, he passed it on to another friend but not his SO, he's living a very healthy lifestyle but living with HIV and a cancer survivor in his early 60's.  He recovered within a week.

My SO caught it early on, before the announcement in January, actually we believe she caught it in late November in S.Vietnam around many Chinese travelers.  She's healthy without pre-existing compromises to the immunity system. She describes it as the strongest flu she's ever encountered and and felt like death. She ,early 40's recovered within 10 days with ginger tea.

I've been tracking known flu results of several others as well.
My hypothesis is that this is the fucking flu,
It's getting weaker and weaker as time moves on but contagion remains easy because this is a completely foreign strain.

Sorry, no factual proof as usual from me on ground 0 but this is the only virus I've seen in the wild this year and I move a fair bit so I believe its probable that I've already been exposed and have account of other experiences. As more personal accounts appear and recover, I expect the panic to subside significantly once people realize its not gonna kill them.

I believe Torque is correct, Our overlords will absolutely blame the virus on the market movements and the FED's reaction to printing 1.5 trillion to prop it up longer.  One must wonder if it was entirely engineered and timed, the virus, the panic, the markets, the money printing. Idunno

I'm either handling this dip and the virus like a Chad or I'm about to get seriously bent.  
BBQ, scotch, music, SO, health, time. Fuck the world and its problems, don't forget to enjoy yourself.

Wow, what a ride! Took another piece under 6K, feels nice getting more for the dollars. Time to lower the DCA
 

Mempool is empty currently, it fills and empties rhythmically over the last week. Thinking this isn't panic selling, just shakeouts.
Bought a small bit and it confirmed in about 1 minute.

The fear is real! Corona eating us and the markets alive!  Hard time to buy RN   but happy for the discount.
RSI below 30 on daily and just over 30 hourly.  Observing $74xx
Floor around $6500 I presume.  

reform is coming
Bitcoin is positioning
hold because you know

Damn, windows 
Thanks, recently I made a bootable ubuntu flash drive and followed directions to install alongside Windows for a dual boot experience however I'm not sure its working, still can't figure out how to boot into ubuntu (just goes to windows). I can use ubuntu live from usb at startup but cannot save anything locally.  Tried this tutorial.   

Trying to update mynode last couple hours and its proving to be beyond my understanding. If anyone's able to help, I'm stuck.
Here's the instructions:


I'm stuck at #3
Using git bash on windows 10 I get this:
user@mycomputer MINGW64 ~/mynode (master)
Not sure what I'm doing wrong 

Yes, rasp pi 4 with the image flashed to the sd card and core downloaded and synced to a 2 tb hdd (no external power)

BTC following the stock market should not necessarily be a concern.  Whales in this space alike the small guy are also deep into other markets. Margin calls will need liquidity and its only natural that its taken from the profit zones (BTC) to do it. Bitcoin has proven itself time after time and is a re-education camp for monetary policy.  When there are no more profits to extract from BTC, the hedges will fall right back where they make sense.

The debt market is currently the largest threat facing mankind with a potential correction to human life which could dwarf the fatalities of this virus by orders of magnitude. The real virus has gone completely unchecked at the FED since 2008.  Looks like we may skip the recession and head straight into depression.    
Am I over-reacting?

Success! Finally got MyNode running on Raspberry Pi 4.
Took about 28 hours to download it and finish the sync to the pi and powered only with the official RPi cable.
I'll be trying to upgrade it manually next and then, figure out how to access it from another network.

Possibly another medicine here.

How about about the bond market yeild curves? The 10 & 30 year just fell off a cliff to ATL.


We may be witnessing the end of the petro dollar.
