I can't believe the Bargain Boyz got their shot.

OTOH, so happy for the discounted extra coins.
Fiat hit exchange so fast, I didn't even blink.

We have our double bottom on the 200 WMA.
THANK YOU WHALES. YOU MAY FUCK OFF NOW.

I dont think Bargain Boyz were expecting this, but I can tell by the volume they scooped up a ton of coins in the Bargain Buy Zone. Grin

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102

"Executive Order 6102 is a United States presidential executive order signed on April 5, 1933, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt "forbidding the hoarding of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates within the continental United States"."

Bernie could do this with Bitcoin. Do I think he would, idk, but Im sure Trump or Biden wouldn't. True it wouldnt censor Bitcoin, but an executive order banning Bitcoin ownership would put me out of the hodl game.

Its the extreme leftists Bernie would appoint to power that I would worry about most. A Bernie Fed ran by a communist bartender chick could easily ban Bitcoin.

These seem to be baseless, McCarthy era-level fears. I hope you don't actually believe this and are just using hyperbole to state your beliefs. Regardless, you're right in that its almost a moot point. America can now prepare itself for 4 more years of mediocrity and flow of wealth from the middle class to the rich.

Yeah, after the latest primaries it is a moot point. Its not that I was convinced it was likely for Bernie to do that. I just wanted to illustrate that any President could do that.

While I feel it would be unlikely for Bernie, Biden, or Trump to ban Bitcoin, I believe administrations and appointees of Trump and Biden would be less likely than administrations and appointees of Bernie to be hostile to it.

So thats why I considered it Bullish for Bitcoin that Biden did so well.

After Iran, the United States, France, Italy, Vietnam ... the Commander of the Polish Army was the latest to test positive for COVID-19. In addition, members of the British Parliament, Health Minister Nadine Dorries have just had positive results.
* The World Trade Organization (WTO) abolishes all existing schedules after an employee of this organization is found to be positive for COVID-19.

HIGHLIGHTS FOR MORE THAN 50 NEW CASES:

* Austria has 51 more cases. They currently have a total of 182 cases.
* Japan has 59 new cases and 3 deaths. Currently, the total number of victims in Japan is 581/10.
* The United States has 246 new infections and 4 more deaths. There are currently 950 infections in the United States and 30 deaths. Details of new cases recorded in the states are listed at the end of the article.
* South Korea is the only place with good news with only 131 new cases and 7 deaths recorded in the last 24 hours. South Korea currently has 7,513 cases with only 54 deaths, an unexpectedly low death rate compared to only France and Spain.

* The new countries with the first reported cases today are Panama, Jamaica, Mongolia and Turkey.

s 2 more cases.re cases.


TLDR: Central Bankers are scared of a small amount of deaths and printing tons of money = Bullish for Bitcoin

Yes, its true.

Im gonna miss the bullishness of COVBULL-19, but Farr's Law says it will fade as fast as it peaks.  Cool

Coronavirus going to hit its peak and start falling sooner than you think
By Michael Fumento

"Both political parties have realized the crisis could severely impact the November elections — House, Senate, presidency. And sacré bleu, they’ve even shuttered the Louvre!

Some of these reactions are understand­able, much of it pure hysteria. Meanwhile, the spread of the virus continues to slow."


Worldwide, there have been about 3,400 coronavirus deaths, out of about 100,000 identified cases. Flu, by comparison, grimly reaps about 291,000 to 646,000 annually.

China is the origin of the virus and still accounts for over 80 percent of cases and deaths. But its cases peaked and began ­declining more than a month ago, according to data presented by the Canadian epidemiologist who spearheaded the World Health Organization’s coronavirus mission to China. Fewer than 200 new cases are reported daily, down from a peak of 4,000.

Subsequent countries will follow this same pattern, in what’s called Farr’s Law. First formulated in 1840 and ignored in ­every epidemic hysteria since, the law states that epidemics tend to rise and fall in a roughly symmetrical pattern or bell-shaped curve. AIDS, SARS, Ebola — they all followed that pattern. So does seasonal flu each year.

"Clearly, flu is vastly more contagious than the new coronavirus, as the WHO has noted."

"More good news. This month, the Northern Hemisphere, which includes the countries with the most cases, starts heating up. Almost all respiratory viruses hate warm and moist weather. That’s why flu dies out in America every year by May at the latest and probably why Latin America has reported only 25 coronavirus cases. The Philippines, where I live, has about a third of the US population, but it’s so damned hot and humid here, so far we have had no confirmed cases of internal transmission."



About the Author: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Fumento

"Fumento is perhaps best known for his epidemiology work, especially infectious disease outbreaks. He argues that the perception of such outbreaks becomes exaggerated or otherwise distorted by those who exploit them to serve various agendas. In November 1987 he published a landmark article, "AIDS: Are Heterosexuals at Risk?"[23] in Commentary that in 1990 became the basis of a controversial book, The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS: How a Tragedy Has Been Distorted by the Media and Partisan Politics.[24] He wrote dozens of subsequent pieces on the subject.[25] In Commentary, he challenged the presumption that, as Life magazine's July 1985 cover declared in bold red letters, "Now No One Is Safe from AIDS."[26]

By 1987 the theme had become common. A January U.S. News & World Report cover story declared, "The disease of them is suddenly the disease of us ... finding fertile growth among heterosexuals."[27] A New York Times headline that month read: "AIDS May Dwarf the Plague,"[28] citing remarks of the then-secretary of health and Human Services, Otis R. Bowen, that AIDS could be worse than the "Black Death," estimated to have killed 30 percent to 60 percent of Europe's population.[30][31][33] Surgeon General C. Everett Koop made remarks[34] giving rise to the term "heterosexual AIDS explosion." Oprah Winfrey told her audience, "Research studies now project that one in five—listen to me, hard to believe—one in five heterosexuals could be dead from AIDS at the end of the next three years."[35]

Fumento challenged that orthodoxy, for which he and even those who wrote about him were condemned and even threatened.[36][37] He did so by interviewing and citing the work of epidemiologists, including the top Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) AIDS epidemiologist, Dr. Harold Jaffe,[38] who told him, "Those who are suggesting that we are going to see an explosive spread of AIDS in the heterosexual population have to explain why this isn't happening."

Trump supposedly about to deliver his Bailout plans to the world shortly. Rumor is cutting payroll taxes to zero among other goodies. Bullish bc the American worker would have more money to stack satoshis.

Possibly lots of money printing to be proposed as well.  Smiley

Does anyone think that if Bitcoin was invented before the 2009 financial crisis that all the money printed to bail out Wall Steet and Banks would have been insanely bullish for Bitcoin? I know I do.  Grin

https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/3633/Who-will-win-the-2020-Democratic-presidential-nomination

I am not up on US politics as much as you seem to be, but why do you think Bernie Sanders would ban Bitcoin?  I mean, I thought it was impossible to 'ban' Bitcoin, isn't that the point?

Also, forgive me for asking but how can you be 'sure' Trump won't try it (if as you seem to say it is possible to do so):


I live in the U.S., if Bernie hadn't got trounced by Biden and him or one of his extreme leftist appointees had banned Bitcoin ownership in the U.S. then I would have sold mine.

I used the phrase "Ban Bitcoin," but if you would like me to be more precise, he could ban me from owning Bitcoin and I would comply as a personal preference.

Its not that I think Bernie would def ban Bitcoin ownership in the U.S., its that he is a far leftist based on the strict Bitcoin prohibitions of using Bitcoin as a means of payment that 2 out of the 4 communist governments have put on their citizens, I would expect a white house full of far leftists to be much more hostile to Bitcoin than Trump or a centrist like Biden.

Extreme leftists don't like personal financial sovereignty, they don't like capitalism, they don't like private wealth/property. Its natural that they would be hostile to Bitcoin, the ultimate private property.

As for why Trump wouldnt try it, well he is one of the few politicians I have ever seen who worries about what his supporters say on twitter. A ton of his supporters lean libertarian and are Bitcoiners. I witnessed the outcry on his twitter from Trump supporters saying they loved him but he was wrong about Bitcoin and to go easy on it. Trump would not imo alienate a large swath of his supporters so he is a much safer bet to me on Bitcoin than Bernie. Trump also does love the concepts of private property and capitalism.

Define real women.

Here is a basic algorithm for picking the right woman

Code:

def woman():
    x = int(input("How big her ass is? (1-10)"))
    y = int(input("How big her tits are? (1-10)"))
    z = int(input("What is her age? (1-100)"))
    t = input("Does she laugh when you make stupid jokes? (yes-no)")

    p = x*y

    if z<30 and z>20 and p>50 and t=="yes":
        print("That's the woman you want to marry yo!")
    else:
        print("Skip to the next candidate.")

woman()

I would quibble with that formula. Quite frankly, if a woman can not give you at least 3-5 kids then she is not good enough. 29 is way, way too old.

You don't want to have more than 2 kids especially when everybody and everything is super stupid in the last 10-15 years.

I wouldn't want my child to watch retarded youtubers on youtube for example. I grow up by watching pokémon and that was the most awesome shit I have ever witnessed.

Even 2 kids is too much tbh. It is either 1 or none. My logic says none but biology says at least one.

So 29 is OK to me.
2 is not enough. It takes more than that just for the species to survive. And the older she is the dumber and sicker the kid will be.

Agree with you here Ibian. Thats why Leo replaces his woman every few years with a younger one.  So if the day comes where he decides he is ready to propagate the species he will have a most suitable partner. He is basically a prepper at heart.  Smiley

Coronavirus is bullish for the King.

Obviously not..

You guys still think china virus is bullish?

What happened? Why are we following the DOW instead of the inverse?

Is Bitcoin just a luxury?

We aren't following the Dow, we are up since Coronavirus became global news on Dec. 31, the Dow is down in the same time frame. That's inverse.

Coronavirus is causing money printers to go into overdrive. Thats always bullish for King Bitcoin.

62 days to the Halvening and all fundamentals are well and bullish.  Cool
Sure, but what's he got? I mean he can send the army in to demand that people consume and travel and PRODUCE at the barrel of a gun. He can have traders who sell stocks executed, he can declare it to be treason to say anything but good things about the economy.

Maybe pass the "Stand still" law where no one is allowed to quit their jobs, everyone must consume and produce at 2019 levels, and companies can fire people who then become surplus goods to be "managed". That could work. Sort of.....

(Why yes, I'm re-reading Atlas Shrugged. Man this book is the perfect combination of shit porn, endless speeches, drivel, and interesting concepts.)

I haven't thought too much as to whether he will succeed. I just like all the money printing he is promoting while he tries.

Trump dropped a big cryptic hint about an unstoppable surprise coming. This was tweeted right after the dow futures opened and tanked.

Most likely he is on the phone with the Plunge Protection Team and the Fed and there is some massive money printing on the way.

Anyone who thinks Trump isnt going to attack these market sell offs with everything at his disposal is underestimating his ego and desire to be elected again.

62 days to the Halvening and all fundamentals are well and bullish.  Cool

Trump may still have the trader mentality and he sees this huge dip as a buying opportunity.

He also believes there needs to be money pumped into the economy to get things on track...

So...print money and buy cheap stock...he likely believes the virus is all hype so he believes the markets will bounce back (especially after pouring a bunch of printed money into the economy).

Result...billions in gains for the US government. Game over for Democrats.

In his mind at least.

Reality...he is trying to fight a bubble that popped.

Probably so and Bitcoin benefits either way with all the money he will print trying to achieve his goals.  Smiley

Oh, and can we finally put to bed the whole idea of BTC as a safe haven - whilst global stock markets face their worst day since the 2008 financial crisis, BTC tanks even more.  If BTC really was a safe haven, it would be mooning now. Gold still seems to be the haven of choice.

BTC is a safe haven. It is just people are too dumb to understand that.

They will only understand it when they can't use banks anymore.

Let's have this talk again when banks collapse and don't allow people to access their accounts. Remember Greece? Cyprus?

Yes it absolutely is a safe haven. Just like gold, its up since Coronavirus became global news, while stocks are down.

Extreme leftists don't like private property, they want the goverment to run everything. They dont want people using money free of censorship that cant be debased. Of course they hate Bitcoin. Bernie would put an army of these people in power.

Except there's no way to know for sure how Bernie feels about bitcoin. He could be all for it, but since he's never actually said anything about it we don't know for sure, one way or the other.

You should know that bitcoin can't be censored, regardless of who enacts what. We're not exactly in the midst of a financial renaissance here where the banks and bitcoin are holding hands. The powers that be are still immensely anti-bitcoin, and Bernie is against the powers that be.

Though I think the presidency is largely a figurehead position anyway, he was the only guy capable of really shaking things up. Since a lot of his voter base is on the youthful side, I don't see him mandating any decree that bitcoin be banned. That's just too draconian a move for any U.S. president to make.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102

"Executive Order 6102 is a United States presidential executive order signed on April 5, 1933, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt "forbidding the hoarding of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates within the continental United States"."

Anyone who wasnt keeping a close eye on China early on was foolish imo bc it was a huge uncertainty and the possibilities were worth close attention till one could deem it not to be a major threat.

Only a pussy would have shivered in fear at any point in this developing situation. I dont really care if you hang out with pussies or mma fighters. Foolish was what I called people who werent at least paying attention closely to what could have been a big deal at the time. I wasn't offering critiques on their braveness or masculinity.
