interesting:
How the Chinese cheated the whole world with the virus
According to Faktxeber, China used interesting economic tactics, circled everyone’s finger and earned more than $ 20 billion in a couple of days. Plus, it returned about 30% of the shares of its own monopolies.
Xi Jinping fooled the EU and America, and how beautiful! Before the eyes of the whole world he played everything, as if by notes.
Previously, part of the shares of technology companies belonged to foreign investors, Americans and Europeans - this means that almost half of the revenues from the heavy and chemical industries went not to the treasury of China, but to the accounts of "financial sharks" in Europe.
Due to the situation in Wuhan, the yuan began to plummet, but the Central Bank did nothing to support the yuan.
There were even rumors that China simply did not have masks to fight the coronovirus.
These rumors and statements by Xi Jinping that he is ready and will protect the people of Wuhan led to a large drop in the price of shares of Chinese technology companies, and the "financial sharks" began to put up for sale shares until they completely depreciated.
Xi Jinping waited all week and only smiled at press conferences, and when the price fell below the plinth, he gave the command to sharply buy up shares from all Europeans and Americans at the same time.
Until these “financial sharks" realized that they were circled around their finger, it was too late: the shares were in the hands of the PRC. Not only has China earned more than $ 20 billion over these days, but it has also returned the shares of its companies to China.
Now, income from technology and chemistry will not go abroad, but will remain in China, the yuan rises by itself, and China’s gold and foreign exchange reserves do not need to be spent on its support, and the “financial sharks” of Europe have remained with their noses, they circled around the finger.
In a matter of minutes, they bought stocks that bring billions of dollars from them and left them without income from technology and chemistry. Such a brilliant operation has not yet been in the history of the stock market.
If this is true, the sharks should blame themselves for not hodling onto their Chinese shares or even buying more, with both Yuan and stock prices themselves plummeting. |

China will print ~170M$ on Monday. The inflow rate into btc won't be so high as with tether probably, but it can't be too bad for the badger either. SOMA analytics summary: a measurable blip up is due.

One of the reasons to check the WO at least once in a while - V8's findings... (This is one of the most bullish among recent posts IMO.) (Did I mention nice outfit BTW?) +1 Didn't get that. The article talks to me like I am a child. Where is bitcoin there, exactly? AFAIU, Strike has a LN node, you simply deposit cash from your bank account or debit card into Strike (as a prepay?), strike then "takes" your cash, 'virtually' exchanges it for btc in their "channels", use their channels to pay your LN invoice, debits your cash. They interact with btc, you don't (for payment). Is it a "good thing"? I dunno. Maybe I misunderstood their setup, but what exactly the following means? Bank accounts and debit cards can now speak to nodes all over the world, and nodes all over the world can now speak to bank accounts and debit cards. Apart from the simplistic language, there is some substance here it seems. You can buy and sell btc through Strike. One more on/offramp can't be bad, even admitting functionality isn't at the top. Although the service requires fiat custody in the shape of a bank account or debit card, it is noncustodial from a btc angle: if you buy btc, they go to your wallet rather than staying in your Strike account. If selling, the fiat goes to your Strike balance. I assume it is reasonably easy to cash out in the case of a bank account. It might be trickier to cash out in the case of a debit card but hey, you can use the fiat for any payments anyway - not only Strike payments. It actually uses btc as the underlying technology for value transfer. Their story about the cannabis store in Colorado is a good example of easing payments in that grey area where credit cards and banks often refuse service. Depending on how anonymous QR codes or LN invoices can be, this is a good shot at uncensorable payments. As a seller, you can opt to convert the payment in cash 100% - keeping volatility risk to a minimum - or 0%, getting your btc secured by your own wallet, your own keys - or any amount in between. Looks big to me. I'm hoping it takes off and invites imitation and competition in what can be a profitable business line. |

Not going to waste my last sM on legends or quasi-legends, but at least some WOsM is due. Here's a helping of noteworthy posts, in no particular order. A complement to JSRAW's work for people catching up, and a tip of the hat to Toxic. Man, I cant end this post cleverly.
You do that a lot when posting in humor - but this time you aren't. +1 One of the reasons to check the WO at least once in a while - V8's findings... (This is one of the most bullish among recent posts IMO.) (Did I mention nice outfit BTW?) +1 ... or other nuggets of practical, useful info. +1 WOW...The dude is getting wise beyond his years... for some strange reason...
The dude abides, the dude got his moments.... seawaves and sea smells tingling the nostrils only better writing can follow 30y in the rearview mirror and dudes turn into poets, even. With some help from a few cervezinhas maybe. +1 What I mean is... And I think you may be able to answer it.... WHAT IS NEED, JJG?
1) Since I am not a bot, I need air in order to live. 2) I need to make another $1,000 before the end of the month, otherwise I am getting evicted. 3) in order to make "fuck you" status, in accounting for my other assets, anticipated income and anticipated expenses, I need to attain the value of a sustainable amount of between $1.5 million and $2 million in my bitcoin holdings. Bitserve tries to unleash the wordy monster, but the bot breathes air and keeps it reasonable. To be honest I expected a more detailed answer from you.
I: I "need" x amount of bitcoin for hooker a, b and c II: I "need" y amount of bitcoin for lambo d, e and f III: I need z amount of bitcoin for blow quantities m, n and o -snip-you are harassing me (aka trolling me) Probably money does not buy happiness, but it is sure nice if you do not have to worry about doing certain kinds of work, but it seems that if you hire someone to do it, then you have other problems... takes a while to gain trust, even if you have someone to help you out... because sometimes they will end up coming into your space.. so then you need BIGGER space for them to NOT cross into your space.. but then you draw attention to yourself for how much space and nice things that you have, so then you feel like you cannot have so many nice things because you might get robbed, or $5 wrench attacked. So, the balance is tough, and probably just have to be happy with what you got.. even the managing of how much to pay person 1, 2, or 3, but then if person 3 is helping you with your finances, then they know too much? Maybe it is more helpful to get rich when you are younger, and then you have more time to adapt to not adding too many things too quickly? Start out with a personal assistant? Maybe I don't really need a personal assistant? He tries again. The ensuing reply is deservedly longer and makes a lot of sense. Personal space, things, wealth, services - be it housekeeping, security, or stress release. +1 for the trolling @bitserve +1 for the sense @JJG |

Yesterday marked 29 days since I quit all intake, and a home drug test still showed me testing positive for THC.
Will re-test in a couple weeks. It's a mind-over-matter thing for me to test clean before deciding to partake again. Pleasantly surprised that I did not experience a single withdrawal symptom, but I'll write that off as a bonus side-effect of the other meds I'm taking, as a mitigating factor.
So much for taking 28 days to clear out of your system.
28 days? Scratch that. It depends on your metabolism, method of testing and amount and duration of intake. I only experienced withdrawal symptoms after quitting/pausing weed when i was young and smoking it with tobacco. Life without weed wasn't any better nor any worse, but i just always really liked it and been a part-time stoner since age 16. On topic: Expect up to eight weeks to "fully" clear out in the urine, which means levels of thc metabolites to fall under detection treshold. Indeed. I am a moderate/social consumer these days, and tested clean 10 days after use. As for the withdrawal symptoms, I agree in blaming tobacco for that. Nicotine is seriously addictive, and what's worse it creeps on you almost unnoticed - especially for those who think they're only craving weed. I have several such friends: they quit smoking pure tobacco (or weren't smokers in the first place), but they do use it regularly with weed. "It makes the taste rounder" "It maker for an easier toke" and so on is what they say. IMO, they're addicts and they don't even know. |

Bleh. Not excited the very least yet. We have been here a fucking ton of times already.
I’ll wake you up at $15,000? Eagerly waiting for that landmark to change my hat. I'm getting sick of it TBH. Homer's latest ("V8's Greta") is making me a bit jealous. |

So to answer the enormous question on everyone's minds right now, is it a block halving or block halvening? Google claims that more users are interested in the halving, rather than the halvening, regardless of the latter's grammatical incorrectness. It's safe to assume that Google's user's do not care of grammatical correctness. More relevantly, searches for the halving event recently reached an all time high. Searches for the halvening didn't reach all time high.  Suggestion: Let's roll with the grammatically incorrect phrasing of the block halving, rather than halvening, for the benefit of google searches. (Even my spell checker wants to call it the halving, take the hint) halvening, halving? the same search - but google gets to know YOU better #tinfoil |

Official inflation figures are mostly cooked. We're well above the 2% they all like to boast about.

A deflationary currency in an inflationary economic model should increase in value infinitum.
Why Bitcoin would be indefinitely deflationary?  I don't understand. It was deflationary only because its price and its market were growing. But now that almost everyone on earth has heard of it, there is no reason for growing and being deflationary anymore. That's NOT what it means to be deflationary. It is deflationary because the unit number is limited to 21 mil max issued and that number is already smaller and decreasing because of the losses (lost wallet, thrown away hard drive, etc.). Lost bitcoin is not being replaced. In time, total number of accessible units will be declining, hence deflationary. However, right now it is still mildly inflationary. Currently, btc inflation is about 3.6% on a yearly basis, will drop to less than 1.8% in May. If it's still "inflationary" as you said, it doesn't explain its growth then. The rate of inflation matters. Compare btc's with fiat's and you'll see. Or maybe you won't. |

The WO sign is so prominent in the foreground that it seemed to need no additional highlight (especially here). Relevant crypto women, on the other hand, are rare enough, so the two visible chicks made me curious. I wondered if they're just random bimbos with photoshopped bodies or actual significant voices in the choir. From V8, somewhere out in the ether: "The one on the left with no clothes on is Leah Wald https://twitter.com/LeahWald and the one in the yellow is Elizabeth Stark https://twitter.com/starknessLeah Wald (@LeahWald) | Twitter The latest Tweets from Leah Wald (@LeahWald).

You must be a faggot, didn't you say when you first appeared, that the offer is on limited time, and once expired you would go - never to be seen again?
How are we supposed to trust you, you toothless faggot?
(don't get confident now, I was just making a point)
Hard sarcastic blow! Toothless faggot delivers... ...better you-know-whats #haikuTL;DR Being toothless can be a selling point sometimes. |

....... the real value of the BTC is definitely BTC+BCH+BSV (+BTG and other offsprings), so they say, which is at least true for unclaimed coins mined before the chainsplit(s).......
Seems like a real erroneous way of thinking about these matters. Who fucking cares if some coins share a transactional history with bitcoin? It is nearly irrelevant. It does not mean much if anything in terms of actual value. We should have learned that, after the bcash fork. I think @makrospex's assessment is correct. Consider the difference in value between btc in addresses that haven't moved since before the bch fork and btc minted today. You can still extract BCH, BSV, BTG, and so on from the former, but not from the latter. Which of course doesn't imply bcash & co. are more than altcoins. |
