It is not proven but there US are thinking of a possibility that the virus is a man made, and they are linking this to China.

I've heard a lot of news about that, their speculation but they can't confirm it.
maybe by the time they will find the cure, then it would be easy for them to determine if the virus is a man made or not.

you will know if they are making an excuse if the pandemic is over and the project is does not improve.
They actually can take this situation as a valid excuse, they are working and in order for the team to work, they should meet, and some of them does not work in the same country and every country could have different rules impose on quarantine of their people.

We can rest for a while now, we are facing a big problem, but sooner once this is over, we will find out.

Let's see, looking at the chart now, it seems like this project is already going down.




It's really bad when the hype is high and suddenly it will die, it's like a pump and dump coin which will leave those who invested as a bag holder.
I'm not saying this coin will be, but looking to the graph, I can tell it's struggling now.

The media are just doing right, even if they exaggerate it a bit, we can still see the effect of the covid-19 as this is a global crisis, the fact that we are under lock down, that means no business for us to go outside and do the usual things we do and no business would grow if people are ordered to stay at home.

one big evidence that the country are already in big crisis is when the country printed money, and USA did that despite the fact that they are the most powerful country on earth, now let's ask ourselves, how much more on the effect of smaller countries?

We will never this even without that monument, though this pandemic will end, the world is still not safe for a new virus, they need to continue finding the cure of the virus and study it so every time there's a new virus, they will be able to defeat it in a short period of time only, not this kind of situation we are facing now that we still have no idea if they already found the vaccine and therefore people are still in feat of getting infected, that would result to a bad economy due to a slow  recovery.

If bitcoin is ready for a bull run, for sure altcoins will just follow.

The question as to when it will happen, that's hard to answer, but if we really trust crypto, we will patiently wait for the time to come.
if my not happen this year but as long as the market is still alive and improving, we should continue to hope in the future it will eventually come.

With over $3 billion 24 hours trading volume - https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/okex/

it really looks good, but seriously, I don't believe they have this kind of big volume, I think some of them are fake volume.
you can correct me if I'm wrong.

There's no need to quit because you are a responsible gambler, unless you are not having fun anymore.
Sometimes it will take time to be responsible as some experience more loses before they learn, but lucky are those people who were able to control themselves as they can really enjoy in gambling with moderation.

Many but only few compared to the total number of gamblers who are having fun with gambling, and I believe it's normal that there are people who are responsible and there people who are not, all I hope is that they will learn right away from their mistake so the damage will not go further.

We will see what will happen since the halving is schedule is near, some are expecting to rise, while some expect it will not move due to covid-19.

As the stocks have fall, it would be a great recognition for bitcoin if it will rise, but like I said, let's see as this remains to be seen first.

Probably because China has been very efficient in improving their economy, they compete with the US and now it seems like they win on this battle against the corona virus. US being the most developed country has now suffered, and after this pandemic, for sure, they'll struggle to recover and maybe that's the time that China will dictate their terms.

That would probably help their HUSD and they like to compete with other popular stable coins in the market, but TBH, I don't know what would be the positive effect of the exchange of using HUSD rather than using USDT.

The team also has to find a way to get listed in other exchanges.
As per https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bankex/markets/, its volume is very low now, therefore, we can't avoid people to thinking that this project might fail.

Is there really an annual rally?  I haven't seen a rally last year.. maybe you see, so can you point me which part of 2019 the rally happened?

Man, Ripple is a good project but we have to accept that reality that altcoins now just follow bitcoin and if bitcoin does not have a healthy movement, the same thing would happen to altcoins.

It's not a pump and dump because it dump for a reason, there's less demand of oil now so it's normal that the price will fall down, but it does not fall to zero, at this time, for countries that are not affected with covid or there is no lock down, they can enjoy the price of the crude oil now, and personally I got my car full tank and bought some reserve in my house as this is the first time I saw the price is this low.

only 4,000 deaths are tallied in China, over the 80K infected, and over the billion of population, that's too small, it will not affect their economy.

It started last year, that's why its name has 19 in the end.
So since it started last year, it's been almost 6 months already that no cure has been found for the corona virus, and it's really frustrating to just keep staying at home while thinking of our future plans.

Organization does work based on their policy, therefore if it's not on their policy, it needs some big approval from the CEO or the high ranks of the company.
If they are just following based on their policy and the rules of the government, they should not be pressured here, giving aid to their employees is not their responsibility TBH, so employees should be aware of that, instead they have to learn how to save to prepare for an unforeseen situation.

How can it be safe for Children when the virus does not choose who it will infect, and if you are saying on the future of the children, I don't think its the people who should be blame here, it should be the government for not enforcing proper law to protect its people.

This could be true especially if the government is corrupt, I think this is done by big countries if its true that the virus is a man made.

I'm seen rumors about it but I'm not so convince.

That could be too high this year but I would not call it impossible.
You know, there's a lot of possibilities this year that could result to bitcoin rally and probably a bull run, who knows, with that, bitcoin will break its ATH and ETH will rise as well, look what happen in 2017, ETH did reach its ATH, so anything is possible here.

Dying? no... struggling maybe, but this market that we are seeing now that is struggling will survive and succeed in the long run.

I could agree with you on this, best players when they left will result to a disaster of the team.
When Lebron first left the cavaliers, the team tank, but when he rejoined, the team dominated in the East and even won a championship once, now he left, Cavaliers became a bad team and he made the Lakers great since joined with the Lakers, so we can say that Lebron is a special player who can carry a team like MJ, but TBH IMO, MJ is better than LBJ.

Bitcoin can't be controlled because in the first place it's decentralized.
Legality means users are free to spend their bitcoin without fear as long as transactions are legal, of course there are also illegal transactions which is not different from fiat where it's illegal to buy illegal drugs, or to gamble if gambling is illegal in your country.

Legality means a lot especially for the long term as it will give a way for massive adoption.
Now, if the county deemed bitcoin as illegal, then people who uses it will face consequences once they are caught.
