Mask [...] they have literally 0 effect on the state of covid it seems.
Is it safe to assume that you're not actually a qualified biochemist? Have you actually looked at the studies and associated data around mask efficacy? Surgical masks are obviously better than simple cloth masks, but the data show that cloth masks do have a protective effect. Even if they aren't 100% effective, they are still going to reduce viral load. I am qualified, I would say  5 years of biochemistry and engineering studies resulting in a M.sc in protein science and yeah viruses are essentially proteins with some RNA or DNa inside .. I am not arguing that the mask could not work in theory or in a very controlled environment, for preventing droplets to spreading in the air, to stop a single virus is impossible for simple N/M 95/94 masks and not what they are designed to do. I am saying masks SEEM to have no effect on the spread in society if you compare mask mandate schools and states with non mandate schools and states. It even seems like mask mandate states are worse off, and i said strange. I would guess that masks are used poorly and that masked citizens think they are protected more than they actually are, which leads to unnecessary risk behavior. I would like to see some kind of evidence for your saying, but I highly doubt it that there is any. As I've mentioned before, masks were a common practice even in the past, during the Influenza pandemic in 1918. Even in theory, it's pretty logical why masks are a preventive measure of infection, doctors always used them during medical procedures to avoid infecting the patient. If it wasn't for the mask mandate, especially throughout the first phases of Covid-19, we would definitely have a dramatically higher number of cases, and deaths of course. A quick look at WHO's website may educate you, unless you know better. https://www.who.int/news-room/questions-and-answers/item/coronavirus-disease-covid-19-masksHard evidence or not, during april of 2021 states with no mask mandates like Texas, Georgia, South dakota, Tennessee, Mississippi etc it can be seen clearly that the "flattening" of the case curve happened much earlier and faster. New Jersey and New York saw their cases stay high much later into spring / summer. All i said was that masks seem to have little effect if you compare mandate states with non mandate states, and this can be seen by just looking at the case curves of these states, anyone can check it out, its public data. I am not saying it is the masks that works or not, just that it is strange that there is no visible effect of these mandates ergo they are not backed by data. 1. I would not use a political organisation with funding from pharma companies and / or investors therein as a source of information. 2. 1918 was a disaster, not sure masks did much good there, especially when considering most died of secondary bacterial infections which masks could actually prevent hmm again strange... 3. Masks worn during operations is not intended to stop airborne viruses but droplets rather and the risk of bacterial infections that comes with droplets. If doctors operated during an infection with an airborne virus i would argue that the patient could be infected just as well with or without and open wound.

I think it is fair to say that you are a certifiable moron. Could you issue such a certificate please, might be a mandate coming out of Bidens office anyday now! I am pretty sure he needs one aswell |

masks
The latest data suggest quite strongly that masks are vital in reducing the spread. Airborne transmission is almost exclusively over a short distance over a short timeframe. If you can't socially distance, then masks are hugely protective. Mask mandate states show absolutely no reduction in cases, schools with mask mandates show no lower case count compared to no mask schools, they have literally 0 effect on the state of covid it seems. Strange indeed. I really like the fact that mask propagandists lite Fauci first concluded they do not work against viral spread then changed his/their minds to it is so effective we must mandate it!! Drinking urine sounds questionable even though many does it and it is safe. |

I like this thread, 3 years of speculation and pointing out the risk of going all in ETH. Go Go all in and stake it as well to maximize risk and potential reward It is different this time  right? |

When reading about the project I find many aspects interesting, especially the decentralized web server or hosting platfor as it is called. Many types of hosting services have started to censur users with a certain type of content, which is a large threat to free speach according to me. If some topics or opinions get de-hosted, we are in a tricky situation. Besides this, the fundamental tech looks strong and the community looks big and focused on taking the project to new hights Is there a timeline for web hosting? Keep up! |

Good to see a protocol that actually uses much less energy compared to ETH / BTC since energy consumption is a hot topic today.
I´ve read countless articles about bitcoin / eth and how they waste energy and when looking at the political climate, things like green new deal, UN agendas for lower emission, innovate to 0 emission by 2050 etc etc comes up. Initiatives like this sure will cause many to look at older PoW cryptos with an evil eye and it also provides an good reason for anti crypto actors to work against them.
Along with cheaper / faster transactions and solidity support, the energy consumption situation provides a strong reasons to run your dApps at Helios protocol instead of ETH and I think it would be smart in a future with hard competition. I, sadly, have not made any dApp my self but if i did, I would try running it at the helios test net and see how it preforms, or I might get left behind.

I voted he'll be elected again without knowing his possible opponents. Who are they again?
Couple Socialists. Couple old white Billionaires. (one of them is Trump rich, the other is obscenely rich) A senile old man that doesn't know what state he's in. White lady that thinks she's an Indian. An Indian lady that thinks she's black. Hawaiian lady that considers herself a person of color. Millennial that likes to make out with his boyfriend on stage. Asian dude that wants to give $1,000 a month to everyone. A Vegan. Deval Patrick is also announcing he's going to run tomorrow. Don't know what to make fun of him for yet though. Who am I missing? Wait... So there ARE OPPONENTS? (who would have dreamed that the collapse of the Clinton power system internal to the Dem party would have led to this...) Yeah not much to run against atm but they will throw in some joker, like Michelle Obama or perhaps Oprah haha or even Hillary might try to run again but that would be a sad story i guess! I think Trump wins and hope he wins as well, just to see what can be unveiled concerning all the corruption that has been going on in and around previous administrations, go Trump! |

So guys, are you still hodling altcoins. Tbh, I just don't see any case for the moment in hodling coins, my start for the moment is to get as much sats as I can
I recently started to buy BTC dont want to average up to much and been shorting it as well. It´s often wise to hedge and this was a good year of shorting! I have 10% of my BTC on bitmex for shorting and been withdrawing a lot too keep it at 10%. If i get liquidated now around 4300 we should have seen the bottom right  ? but who knows! |

Last week of the signature campaign i see! Any more promotion in the planning ? Good job to all participating members, Hodl! |

I'm extremely hopeful about the future of Bitcoin. And here's why:
1.) Our life is becoming more and more digital. For a digital world, we need a digital currency. Hence, Bitcoin.
2.) Today's financial system (as a relict of the past) is heavily flawed. If we are to evolve as a human race, we need a more advanced form of money.
3.) Bitcoin is a form of decentralized digital currency which is closest to perfect money people have ever come to.
4.) Bitcoin's price chart is already following a similar profile as gold's chart price. We just need to zoom out and look at the BTC price from a larger time frame. This is pretty convincing that BTC is already a strong competitor of gold as a store of value.
5.) It is just a matter of time before large institutions and national states realize the advantages of holding Bitcoin (vs holding gold or bonds). When that happens, the last obstacle will be removed for widespread adoption.
I agree especially with point 5, (and 2, its extremely flawed and corrupt, something that a open ledger will prevent in part)there are huge problems with bonds as inflation rages on and interest are increased, they will just have useless or even negative yield compared to other assets. Gold sure is useful in electronics but still comes with some Issues, storage and the possibility to transact, which bitcoin solves. Gold will still be used in electronics and increasingly in medicine I've realized, things that bitcoin never can be. Both precious metals and digital currencies serve a strong purpose in tackling of the coming financial problems. I am very bullish long term even if the system will fight back, release their own centralized digital currencies etc, Bitcoin is here for a reason, a reason that is stronger now then ever, we will prevail.

Received payment, thanks! Do you plan to prolong sig campaign?
I don't think there are any plans of extending the sig campaign but there should be another event just after. Maybe another airdrop ? It is yet to be announced but the team said on discord that there will indeed be something else after.  I share your opinion, I do not think that they extend it, but as you say if it is certain that another event comes, just wait until the Genesis team announces it, we hope it will be soon to prepare for it. At the moment nothing official has been said, but I think there are two airdrop at the moment, the first five weeks and the reward for the signature, it is best to keep active in Discord and official Forum. Almost over again 2 weeks maybe 3 for the signature campaign. Enjoy the last weeks. Yeah already week 6, time flies when in good company lets do our best to promote GenX the last weeks of the campaign! |

Yeah the price has been great, didn¨t watch it for a while and it use to be 10 sat, next time i checked it was at 50 . Seems the price is solid as you say and flattening out around 28-30 sats, still cheap! |

Suicide rates and depression are rising because of Capitalism. Workers are getting screwed over, the wealth they create is stolen.
I know a lot of you, especially americans are brainwashed.
-Climate change is a direct result of a profit driven society, environment doesn't matter only the dollar
-"hurr durr socialism/communism never worked millions died hurr durr" Capitalism has killed much more people directly with poverty, inability to afford healthcare, etc
-. Capitalism is nothing but slavery with a new name, owners of capital are the slave masters
-
If you think you create wealth as a worker, ask for more money or go work somewhere else where your "wealth creation skills" will be recognized. If not, you can start your own company and create wealth for yourself. Stop complaining about other people's wealth. Fix yours. Capitalism is the best, natural system to separate and reward people based on their skills.Early in my engineering career, I recognized that I needed to go solo, so I quit after 2 years at a multinational company and was immediately hired as an independent consultant by their competitor and paid four times as much. Then I started my own consulting company which I sold 30 years later. Don't be afraid to demand more money from the "evil capitalists" or better yet, become one. Invest early, save as much as you can, live within your means, retire early and enjoy your life. Whatever you do, don't complain. Nobody likes lazy people who complain for no apparent reason. Capitalism is not a good force, at least not any longer. It causes some to buy up medical companies with good cures and kill the medicine, just to protect older patents which has not yielded profit yet, money > medicine. Some also prevent curing dieases while there are expensive medicines that slows a disease down, money > life. We frac, use tar sand, drill oil at sea and devastate rain forests to export meat, money > environment. We work and work and most of the tax money goes to paying national dept interest and the military sector, money devastates our planet and creates a war machine to protect it. We must have better goals then this, when money is the goal, we only enter a state of cyclical consumption, things are simply made and thrown away over and over. A good society should not behave like this, it should stagnate and be maintained like anything else that has been created to its optimal state. When privatization hit the health care sector and schools in my country it went to shit right away. Rich areas got better schools and hospitals instantly, leaving large groups with few teachers and long health care waiting times in the poorer and more overpopulated areas. Capitalism leads to corruption and violence on a grand scale. There is no dam room to start your own company, if 3 billion did that right now do you think they will have costumers??? Do you thing the system can support everyone to get rich from working? NO, it is designed to make very few very rich and put the rest in day labor, going from pay check to pay check, your story is great but this feat can only be achieved by a very few, the economy is NOT growing, it is impossible for a company to grow without another LOOSING value, its just quick maths, simple facts Resources today is being used to profit, even water are being used to make nice cloths and produce meat, while many have none to DRINK. This is insane, waste away water to create products that only a few % of humanity can afford or enjoy, when we run out of clean water, is capitalism still good? when we have no rain forests and massive amounts of pollution due to capitalistic interests and our atmosphere goes to crap, is it still good? Anyhow capitalism will be what destroys the earth, we already behave like a virus for the earth and we are growing fast in numbers while the economy is stagnated = more poverty + depletion of resources. |

maybe for now, XRP can compete with ETH and I admit that. but for the future I am not able to predict how it will continue, whether ETH will really experience a very sharp price decline or vice versa will bounce back against XRP again. no one knows that.
What do you mean, maybe for now? It is a fact, it happened You say maybe for now but still do not give a reason why it would just be for now? Better just post "I do not know what i am trying to say or why" at least make a guess |

I've actually never been scammed in the crypto space, only when buying pot haha But on discord i get messages 10 times a day asking for help to withdraw btc.. They offer me 0.1 btc for the help, how generous!
I am very carefull though, getting scammed is not an option so i never respond to any users i don't know or use websites / apps that could be unsafe. Oh I actually lost some cash invested 100 dollar in bitconnect but I think i made profit prior to loosing what was left in the acc. But I knew all along it would close down as soon as the market corrected so i wouldn't regard it as being scammed!
Peace

Hey bitcoin enthusiasts Be sure you pay close attention to everything I say so you don't get lost, and mess up. There is a coin called TEL TELCoin that is still pretty new sitting at a price of $0.00002 cents a coin. On Kucoin you can see the price is $0.0007 (8x gains) I recently made my way into a "whales" discord, and found some serious inside trading being done on the exchange forkdelta - this is a link to the exchange >>> https://beta.forkdelta.app/#!/trade/0x31bbd084f5d3f46fe5c0a43d28c8eec7f5c7403b-ETH <<< You can see the lowest price right now is for 0.000002890 ~ that wall is pretty big too - you take this to KUCOIN and sell for the price of 8X worth per arbitrage. Let me know if anyone has any questions about how to use decentralized exchanges such as forkdelta! If you're having issues w/ buying, or selling your TEL on here the main issue will probably be your METAMASK is backed up. Be sure you *SAVE* your private key, and seed. Then UNINSTALL metamask, and reinstall it to properly get things flowing again. Be sure you save your seed or you'll lose your wallet ! Cheers btc/ethereum lovers, crypto is the for sure way to make it in 2018/2019, and will secure our future! How is that 8 x ? not even close The prices are the same on fork delta and Kucoin ;/ cant see that your statement is correct by looking at the history either but who knows! |

Anyone thinking of jumping on board should do so soon. With the development work going on I think the price will increase imminently.
Agreed, if it jumps to 100 sat it would still be at a decent price but the chance for a nice investment has passed by! Keep up the good work team! |

The price is good to buy more $GENX Now It’s almost like getting it for free at 9-10sats. Like has been said already, when PoS and MN are impelemnyed, we should see movement. At current price, and 750K GenX for a masternode, it doesn’t cost too much at all to be able to get a MN going. My question now is whether there will be limited number of MN’s available. I would imagine so because there isn’t enough volume to have too many MN’s anyway. I reckon folks are already filling their bags for when that time comes. Good question, I wounder too, how many MN's will be avaliable, or if its just limited to the 750k holding. At least we know there won't be more then Total sup / 750k nodes haha |
|
|

This is very impressive! The amount of Genx to be given out is mind blowing. If may ask how much is the worth of this token now?
Right now it fluctuates around 10 sat, but imho it's a coin you probably want to hodl. Yeah and with master node / pos being developed, the timing of investment might be great right now. Is there an fixed amount of coins needed for a master node already? 750k? Peace |
