On the worldwide scale, it's not significant, at all. For all the reasons you listed. It's just your local, personal experience.

Larger world collected data and metrics are what is significant, and tell the true story.

Yes, "they" absolutely did in the beginning. They claimed that vaccinated people would not contract Covid, nor spread it to other people. And they flat out lied to the public. The vaccine makers already knew about all the side effects and clinical trial deaths, but want to suppress that data for 55 years.

A relative of my uncle died recently with Covid-19, and he was 100% fully vaccinated.

I never posted it here for sympathy and to go on an epic rant about vaccines, but should I have? I thought this was the Bitcoin WO thread.

If AlcoHODL had left out the condescending rant against people who choose not to take the vaccine, he never would have triggered me. Plus he posted it here, instead of Bob's off-topic thread he was already aware of, because he's posted there before also. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing. And all you guys are applauding him for it.

You guys talk all this smack about being tolerant and understanding, and letting people choose for themselves. But then you allow and celebrate the virtue signaling and condescension. smh

EDIT: Oh and Jimbo, it's not about "bullshit politics". It's about personal freedom, liberty, and choice. Remember that?

Ok, that's it. I've had it.

After all Covid discussion here was forced, yes FORCED off this WO thread because people didn't like it discussed here and moved into Bob's off-topic thread, now pro-vaxxers are allowed to bring it back to be discussed here? And to get sympathy, merits, and fawned over?

This was supposed to be neutral ground to talk about Bitcoin and other world happenings. Complete hypocrisy and bullshit.

If so, I'm completely done with the WO. Will never post here again.

I've been thinking about leaving anyway, as I've seen the participation falling off for years now.

And it's not like there is anything ever new here: either you're already a believer in Bitcoin and are a HODLer, you're a shit poor daytarder, or you're a shill and a troll.

Sorry for your loss...but now I AM getting really fucking offended at the Mod of this WO thread that you can post this fucking over the top rant about how you think that a fucking piece of shit vaccine that DOESN'T DO SHIT TO STOP ANYTHING AT ALL and has caused 2.4M adverse drug reactions, heart inflammation, blood clots, and deaths would have somehow MAGICALLY SAVED your family member from dying??   You're the one that needs to take the red pill and wake the fuck up, dude. There have been hundreds of thousands of people worldwide ending up in the ICU and dying who are 100% vaccinated. 100 FUCKING PERCENT!! You pro-vaxxers who are out there white-knighting and think that you have some sort of moral high-ground can absolutely, positively fuck off. I am so sick of this grandstanding bullshit.

And to be able leave this post here in WO? This rant should be moved to Bob's off-topic thread ASAP. End of fucking story. Otherwise I'm calling out the hypocritical bullshit right here and now.  

Just talking out of my arse here, but if history repeats, the whales will be looking to grind it down to $40k. They know that $40k is a psychological level, so once there, I could see a flash dump crashing through 40k into the upper 30s, before taking off again. They wanna make the n00bs shit their pants and panic sell. Many new Mindrusts will be made that day.

Or, ya' know, the worst could be over. I still think the market is libel to go nowhere until the new year.

Bitcoin ‘may not last that much longer,’ academic warns
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/17/bitcoin-may-not-last-that-much-longer-academic-warns.html

Message: You hear that Average Joe? It's not going to be around much longer. Stay the fk away from Bitcoin!


Uh...that's the very definition of sound money, you dumbass. 

Hory sheet, sgbett the troll returns.

As if your last laughable price bottom prediction (which failed miserably) wasn't bad enough, now you come back with $1150??

Even proudhon couldn't suggest a bottom like that one and keep a straight face.

My god man, give it up. Go crawl back into your hole. Maybe take up ant farming.

Yeah, but what happens when policy makers (via the Fed) are so in control of the markets with infinite, cheap fiat that they are now in the business of deciding when and how to create crashes?

This is what people who sit on the sidelines in fear are missing. In between those planned, short-lived DOWNities will be a whole lot of long, ongoing UPpity. All by design. And people who sit on the sidelines waiting for a crash are getting 10-15% poorer each year.

Personally, I will stick to bitcoin: the fastest horse in the race.

The psychological cost of waiting. Especially applies to Bitcoin.



Now is a great time to buy buy buy BTC

Next pres video: "You don't need a shotgun. Just clap you hands together twice, real loud..."

OT: All this talk in the MSM about the "relief rally" in stonks, and how the market "liked" the hawkish Fed news about tapering and potential 3 rate hikes in 2022.

Lol, what bullshit. The stonk market only likes free money, and more of it. They in fact hate tapering, and really hate higher interest rates. And they could give a shit about inflation.

A bunch of shorts got hammered, that is all.

What everyone should be very worried about is when the Fed really *does* start seriously tapering and raising rates. That would start the clock, and mean that another global black swan "event" is right around the corner. By design.

Dang, it really pains me to see guys like this who have a serious addiction to caring so fkn much about crypto TA. Something that they don't even realize is a complete waste of time and life. There's nothing more depressing and soul-crushing for a man than to sit around trying to make sense of and trying to predict something that you have absolutely no control over whatsoever. This is the exact same shit that destroyed the lives of many young wanna-be daytraders of penny stocks back in the last few decades. Many of them ended up in massive bankruptcy and committed suicide.

The guy needs to gtfo of shitcoins, stop looking at the prices, get off the internet, and go do something product with his life. Learn a skill, get a hobby, make friends, get a girlfriend, travel. Whatever. Invest in himself and his future.

There is no "game". There is only your dumb ass for thinking there ever was one. It's all a delusion, dude. smh

Couple of truth bombs from Ben Gilroy 

Yes.

Wealthy elites, entities, and funds don't buy assets on-market and at high prices. They buy OTC, below spot when the asset is undervalued, and their whale connections help them to do it.

Twitter will now ban users that repeatedly claim vaccinated people can spread Covid

Holy fkn shit, talk about squelching the truth!  

"Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth"

So from a young people mindset, nothing has really changed. But what HAS changed is what and how the marketeers are selling to them.

For decades, consumers were marketed to on the basis of a homogeneous lifestyle: getting everyone on the same page in terms of what type of house, car, clothing, clubs, jewelry, trips, etc. constituted living in high style, class, and sophistication. These trends were all-encompassing, i.e., at any moment in time you were either part of the societal "in-club", or you weren't. Most people wanted to be in it, as there were benefits.

Now things have splintered all over the internet, and people can easily find their siloed, circle-jerking little havens for whatever stupid thing they are into...however banal, valueless, and classless it may be. So the elites have given up. Marketeers are no longer attempting to bring societies together under universal fads or notions of societal trends and ideas of classy norms. They are instead marketing directly to these splintered sub groups by collecting their individual data. "That silly thing, service, or over-indulgence you want that nobody else around you cares about except for your little circle of internet friends? Here it is, and we're here to help you get more of it."

Some people might see this as a good thing, like some sort of liberty from societal expectations and gatekeeping. But I believe that its why young people are so confused now. On the internet they have access to every stupid, fad-driven thing or indulgence they believe that they want in life, but no longer have any societal cues, guides or signposts to show them the way to live a happy, fulfilled, classy, sophisticated lifestyle. They are completely rudderless. And their parents and grandparents have completely given up trying to guide them and have checked out.

AKA - The future is a world of depressed, broke hoarders who will live in shoe boxes and endlessly shop the internet for trinkets. Change my mind.
