Ok guys, that's it. I'm done with the WO for a few months.
There's enough overblown lunacy in the MSM over this coronavirus, I don't need to come here and read the same panicky bullshit (it's the fkn flu guys).
I'll probably log back in sometime in May or June when this whole thing has blown over.
And when it has, I'll surely raz the shit out of some of you hypochondriacs daily when I come back (you know who you are).
But then who will tell us that it's just the flu bro? Maybe good timing tho. Let's see how the absolute numbers compare when you come back. You're the first one I'll be razzing. Remember how you spent a few years arguing about the Bitcoin blocksize urgently needed to be raised? Remember that? You were DEAD wrong, Ibian.

Guys I have been telling you since weeks, but I will reiterate again. I will use Italian numbers, adjust downwards by the percentage you think it is correct because Italian population is old, Italians are not good at hospital or whatever reason you think it is correct, but the final reasoning do not change much: As of today: TOTAL INFECTED 17660 DEATHS 1266 7.17% RECOVERED 1439 TOTAL POSITIVE 14955 HOSPITALISED 7426 50% ICU 1328 9% RECOVERED 1439
Here's the estimated worldwide numbers for the regular flu virus from October to today:

PSA: If you get sick, do yourself a favor, unless you are absolutely dying, don't go to the doctor to get tested... 'cause how would you know that their 'tests' aren't completely rigged?

I've held Bitcoin since 2013, that's gone through 1K, 3K, 7K, up to 19K, down to 7,6,4,3K, then back up to 13K, through 10K, and now back to 4K. True story.

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.
Funny thing is, my SO and I got hit with a Norovirus in the spring of last year, and we both had symptoms exactly as you described. Actually for one of us it started as out-of-the-blue vomiting. Then we were both laid up in bed for a 2-3 days, high fever and cough, low energy, felt like complete death. Then about 10-14 days to full recovery. So how is this 'coronavirus' any different from that? And it wasn't like entire countries were shutting down over it. 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 Exactly.

I don’t want to see anybody moaning about not having enough BTC ever again. This is literally like buying free money.
Buy what you can afford to in the next day or two. Chances like this don’t come around offen.
There are a few major Bitcoin investors that have enough free cash to buy this market back up to $8K in literally a day. Or borrow it at 0%.

Italy has a 3.5% mortality rate with one of the best health systems in the world. It’s not the fucking flu.
I guess you personally confirmed all those "deaths", huh? Or did you read that in the NYT too?

Read the article I posted above from the NY times. This isn’t the flu.
When the Chinese say 80% of cases are “mild” they include pneumonia in “mild”. Mild does not mean having a scratchy throat. “Mild” means you do not require intubation.
It's the fucking flu, dude. Quit drinking the koolaid. It's the flu, and never in the history of the world has a flu bug required entire fucking nations to completely shut down everything. It's not the fucking plague. It's literally a flu bug that tons of people are recovering from. And it's just a cover for the market crash. Take the red pill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkVccr1lzMo

It's sooo good to know that the world's citizens can beat a flu virus. Whew. Not like the world has ever overcome the flu virus before, year after year, without complete lockdowns. /s

Again, I expect a 40% hit on the stock market and 60% on BTC/crypto.
I see no path out here. Tis a complete 'miner capitulation' for ASIC miners IMHO because of halvnig..that's all she wrote boys and girls.

Brad, I'm surprised you are even in Bitcoin to begin with. You are literally the most easily panicked Bitcoiner I know on the WO. It's a wonder you have any bitcoin left at all.

People have only started panicking. We are not even in the eye of the storm yet.
That’s the spirit. Only when I contemplate not selling my stash because it isn’t worth shit anymore anyway, is the moment I know we will have hit rock bottom. The best solution for low prices still is ... lower prices Have Tim Draper or the Winklevii sold anything yet? No? Ok I'm good then.

A famous nocoiner Warren Buffet said "Price is what you pay, Value is what you get." Buffet was right about this one.
This is especially true when you take the red pill and investigate why most stocks, like tech stocks, are insanely overvalued at IPO, by literal orders of magnitude (think 1000x or 10,000x the price of they should hit the market for). It's because 99.999999% of the total stock shares, in the hundreds of millions, a small group already owns before the IPO. Like a massive shitcoin pre-mine. What hits the float for exchange trade is minuscule by comparison, and even that is already leverage 100x at launch. This is why Bitcoin launched with no value, and then on to fractions of a penny, and so on... and it's still undervalued comparatively.

TLRY, you mean a cannabis compnay?
Yes, and I'm being sarcastic. Just look at their chart. Hell look at any public cannabis company's chart. Worst stocks to buy ever.

IBM stock...ha ha... you'd have to go all the way back to 2009 to see the stock price at such low levels.
Now *that* company is a complete shit show. They have been way overvalued for two decades now. No wonder that Ginni Rometty stepped down, she presided over the biggest farce of a tech company and she knew it.
