Like a growing number of market participants, Zervos believes the Fed is about to be “running very low on rate cut ammo.” The “next obvious step in the Fed’s playbook” will be quantitative easing, he said.

“I don’t think any of these things hurt. The cost of doing a rate cut, the cost of reigniting QE, the cost of doing what you are talking about — the funding facilities — is that we over-stoke the economy and create some unwanted inflation pressures. That’s the cost of a monetary easing,” Zervos added.

That was my only foray into tarding instead of hodling.

"For those who have long term investment horizons, bitcoin is absolutely a buy during these dips," Jehan Chu, co-founder of Kenetic Capital, an investor in blockchain start-ups told CNBC. "We can expect more of this volatility sparked by macro health and financial shocks, but ultimately long term investments in the digital future and it's key asset Bitcoin will be a winning strategy"

My worth is falling; someone save it!

... wouldn't the whalecumulators, market-makers, and other price-setting-entities already have acted on it, and priced the halving in?

Key insight is that returns can be explained by risk alone, consistent with EMH. If you encounter an asset above the line, a first reaction could be that it is a great investment opportunity. A better reaction (from an EMH and non arbitrage point of view) would be that it is too good to be true. We are probably missing risks (or have miscalculated risk) and should try to bring the asset back on the line. Quantifying risk (volatility) is difficult, and indeed the expertise of quants of financial institutions.

“The Supreme Court may look at the RBI’s review petition but as of now the cryptocurrency platforms can operate in India. Many companies have even gone bankrupt after the RBI’s diktat and they may also look to initiate action in this regard.”

"We know that money changes hands frequently and can pick up all sorts of bacteria and viruses and things like that," a WHO representative told The Telegraph. "We would advise people to wash their hands after handling banknotes and avoid touching their face."

Oh great, they're cancelling orgies?

This is going to suck.

Bad. Say goodbye to anonymity. Ok, so this virus isn't 100% good news.

Spiro continued to advance the transparency of the blockchain as an advantage to regulators: “You’re going to see that transaction lifecycle. [...] As an investigator, you have a wallet address.”

An audience member who had believed that Bitcoin’s charm lay in its anonymity asked: “So that’s a myth?” Spiro affirmed, “That is a myth.”

Paper fiat may face its death.

Current population of the US is 320 million. If 50% of the people get this in some way and the death count is 2% of all cases, then we're looking at about 3.2 million dead people. Let's see what it looks like in a year or so.

“So I talk to an institution, they now look at Bitcoin as part of the same flight to safety as they might look at bonds or gold or other things that have served in that capacity for them, and that wasn’t a widely-held narrative probably until about the last 12 or 18 months.”

Pah. I cannae wait to set sail across an ocean of pus and sputum. I will fish for regurgitated hospital food as I slurp my way to the high ground. I might need to boil it first.

Preventing that crap-sack universe by having a reasonable government, getting involved with your community, and contributing to a better tomorrow despite the fact that some (many, most) people are fuck-heads could be a better investment over becoming the king of MREs.

Never seen so much panic about most likely nothing too horrific

It's more real to say that he didn't renew funding for certain programs, than that he cut funding. Then with the 2.5B now allocated, that is a huge increase, not a decrease.

President Trump signed a bill that slashed $1.35 billion from its Prevention and Public Health Fund over the next 10 years.

Rear Adm. Timothy Ziemer abruptly departed from his post leading the global health security team on the National Security Council in May 2018 amid a reorganization of the council by then-National Security Advisor John Bolton, and Ziemer’s team was disbanded. Tom Bossert, whom the Washington Post reported “had called for a comprehensive biodefense strategy against pandemics and biological attacks,” had been fired one month prior.

It’s thus true that the Trump administration axed the executive branch team responsible for coordinating a response to a pandemic and did not replace it, eliminating Ziemer’s position and reassigning others, although Bolton was the executive at the top of the National Security Council chain of command at the time.

Trump dont look to me like a guy that wash his hands that often, so I would give high chance he gets infected early. Specially since Republican rally's will get more and more often  as we move closer to elections. 8% is not that low. But on other hand he is getting closer to 80 years where mortality is over 15%.

I don't believe that Corona will spread across the US, it isn't more dangerous than flu. In a couple of months we will forget it. Anyway I hope Trump will lose the re-election. I'm fed up with him.
