I happen to be looking at evidence which is why I provided the study for scrutiny. If you want to attack the study, you can.

I didn't say Covid doesn't exist, nor am I saying Omicron doesn't exist. That would be your inability to read so I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. I am saying the danger of Omicron doesn't exist, evident by <10 deaths globally.

Any polled epidemiologist will say Covid is endemic, so the idea of preventing variants or eliminating Covid completely is unrealistic. Which is why it's in the interest of anyone with half a brain remaining to stop fear mongering from public health officials every time a new variant is discovered. The entirety of the crypto market dipped upon the announcement of Omicron. To think these health experts don't have real power is rather foolish. If they can cause entire shockwaves through financial markets without presenting data of true danger, they should not be trusted.


Yes, this is obvious. A variant is merely just a change in the RNA sequence that composes the coronavirus. The doctors in South Africa themselves announced the new variant, but also cautioned that there wasn't enough data available to draw conclusions. Did that stop the crypto markets from tanking? Did that stop health "experts" from pushing blatant misinformation on the dangers of Omicron despite not having any available data? Nope.



I'm confused that this is the conclusion you've made from my comment.

<10 Omicron deaths world wide, and a study from South Africa illustrating an evasion from the vaccines somehow proves I don't believe the virus exists? No, franky.

Study shows Omicron variant breaking through booster shots - https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/small-safrica-patient-study-shows-omicron-breaking-through-booster-shots-2021-12-16/

If you'll recall, the so called "health experts" renewed their calls for vaccinations and boosters when the omicron variant was originally announced in South Africa.

Without knowing the virulence of omicron, nor without understanding the immune protection generated from the vaccines in relation to omicron, the health "experts" advocated that everyone get vaccinated and take a booster. Turns out, it may have been all for nothing.

Common sense tells you to wait for the data before panicking over the new variant, but not for the health experts. The good news is, <10 deaths reported world wide of omicron. It is nothing but a mild cold. So the need to get vaccinated over omicron is nonexistent.

There'll need to be a lot more mass adoption for scarcity to cause the price to increase, significantly.

Instead of a near 20 million coins, the Bitcoin protocol could have called for a mere 1 million coins, or 2 million coins (number doesn't matter) to be mined over a set time. Supply and demand would predicate the price to be higher by virtue of there being less available coins. So while there might not be enough full coins to go around, that doesn't play into scarcity unless the demand shifts up. For that to happen, I'm thinking there'd need to be a few large currency fails in order to cause mass adoption, and we're a bit far from that as of today.

The US can't keep up their taxes on the wealthy with their spending habits, despite the harsh rhetoric of wealth taxes or ensuring the rich pay their fair share. Most of it is political pandering, as are many other things related to demonizing the rich, but on a deeper level politicians are aware that if they keep driving up the effective tax rate, it'll slow down growth. The strategy for the US, I'm assuming, has been growing the economy in order to raise enough revenue to pay off the debt. Their reckless spending has not slowed down, and Covid has slowed the economy, so all this has thrown a wrench in their plans. Expect a wealth tax to be passed sooner rather than later.

Counsel for Maxwell commenced their defense the other day, in which they plan to call 35 witnesses to testify.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/ghislaine-maxwells-defense-begins-judge-denies-request-witness/story?id=81797739

What number of these character could the jury trust -- in my opinion, none.

Surely you can find a defensive witnesses that are willing to lie to support a friend, or mislead a jury to support a friend.

The testimony isn't public, but from what some of the court reporters have said about the testimony, numerous witnesses outline in detail sexual assaults committed either by Maxwell herself or with Epstein in the presence of Maxwell. What could will these witnesses do, say Maxwell is jolly fellow who is not capable of committing any crime?

Conventional economic theory of supply and demand just tells you the price per ounce of gold increases if there were challenges in meeting the supply needed to support a gold backed currency system. Realistically, the gold standard was never supportable because the idea of fiscal responsibility isn't something governments can afford. The government would rather be able to manipulate the currency, take out its own debt and repay the debt if they can, but not actually be held to any objective standard.

It's easy to borrow money when you can introduce more currency into circulation, doesn't work that way with gold, and certainly doesn't work that way with Bitcoin.

No, the problems aren't being discussed in fact. In Europe, drug OD's increasing as well despite the strong social support programs and funding, because lockdowns have unintended consequences.

One of the biggest lies purported during the pandemic is that government cares about your life, they never have. Government cares about government. They will do anything to hold more power, and Covid is just an excuse.

Remember, in a post 9/11 world, the security agencies would argue that warrantless spying on Americans was done for your safety. Surely you don't believe them. It's the same concept with another script.

So while Americans die of fentanyl overdoses, obesity, car crashes, cancer, they'll do so wearing a mask so they can at least do it safely.

Yes, I've heard the talking points before, about masking and lockdowns. Meanwhile, I don't think you could possibly cite a single Covid statistic off memory because the line "vaccines are safe and effective" is all you know, or care to know. And I'm pro vaccine for people that need it, I also happen to factor the publicly available literature and data from countries that offer it in my analysis. Masking, lockdowns, mandates, have been politicized because the "experts" are refusing to acknowledge these efforts generally don't work by all available data. But they've already created the narrative, and it's difficult to disrupt.


The same experts telling children to mask despite Covid having a lower death rate than the flu? Those experts?

There are plenty of public health experts that are able to separate politics and science. Someone like Dr. Fauci is not, but somehow he has risen to become the most popular health expert in the world.

More adults in the US, aged 18-45, have died of fentanyl overdoses than Covid-19 in 2020.

How often have you heard about preventing drug OD's in the conversation of vaccinations or Covid restrictions?

The goals of public health experts are short sighted, because they are unable to keep politics and science separate. If the goal is to save lives, they would move past Covid-19, but they can't let it go. They don't want to let it go.

And on that note, we are still one or two deaths, world wide, of the omicron variant. Didn't prevent the health experts from pushing hysteria on the late night television news shows.

Perhaps this post is satire but the general narrative towards USDT is that it is a safe haven because of the ease it gives to crypto users to switch back and forth between currencies. This begs the question as to how exactly you define a "safe" storage of your money.

Some might consider "safe" to be a centralized digital token, pegged to an already inflating currency in which the token is backed by supposed assets which are periodically audited, but most common sense crypto users wouldn't touch USDT with from a long distance away.

How do you solve the "college degree bubble" that's forming?

Force colleges to cosign for any loans for students in their institution. When loans are handed out like candy to essentially children (I don't consider most teenagers to be capable of thinking with an adult mind set), the consequence is student loan debt in perpetuity for the misfortunate of overpaying for a degree the market deems to be worthless. I understand Covid skews the statistic much more than in previous years, but Covid only accelerates the bubble growth.

Not saying she is lying, just that the article reads like a novel. Tarnishing Musk and alluding to a toxic workplace environment, isn't that typical of the usual disgruntled employee that no longer holds their position and left in a rather bitter manner?

She can file her lawsuit, argue her case. Or, she can go to "the verge" and make sure everyone hears how terrible Elon Musk is. That works too, but only in such circumstances where, I might say, the allegations of misconduct could be erroneous.

The article reads like a fiction novel, sensationalized and exaggerated. Elon Musk has been tweeting out against the democratic establishment as of late, so the timings of these hit pieces are not entirely unsurprising.

Anyway, If you're a victim of sexual harassment, do not go to the company HR department for help like this woman. They act to protect the interest of the company, not you. If they could, they would fire you for even mentioning it to limit any liability, it's how corporations operate it even though they might pretend to care.

New Covid cases primarily effecting vaccinated individuals.

Both in VAXXED and UNVAXXED groups, infection is not extreme. Mild or asymptomatic at most, resulting virtually no deaths. IIRC one death in the UK, but no deaths in South Africa where this all started.

It seems the vaccines are not as robust with Omicron, but how does the immunity stack up against the delta variant, which make up 90 percent of cases?

If Omicron provides ample protection, then it is in the interest of everyone to get infected with Omicron, vaxxed or not, for complete and total protection against deadlier Covid variants.

If the trade for heightened immunity is a mild cold, it's a good trade.

They had internal access IIRC. Hacking one account was no less or more difficult than hacking another.

This is a bigger problem than just stealing Bitcoins, because what happens if the twitter account of a public official, like Trump (who was active at the time) gets hacked. How can international markets be effected? What about foreign policy?

I've seen negative stories about Bitcoin attached to the twitter hacks, but this is more about Twitter having poor security.

Seems common sense has not gone too much into your thinking either.

Nuclear winters are a real concept and a real consequence to nuclear proliferation. If you'll recall to the Cold War, mutual destruction was the only thing keeping the Americans and Russians from deploying the nukes. You surely don't think either country would just stop at one, correct?

Consider that there is a difference between a nuclear test, and nuclear attack. A nuclear test stops at one deployment. Unfortunately, an attack would not, especially when there are nuclear weapons on both sides of the war.

So yes, very pointless to prep. Good luck trying to survive a nuclear attack.

As I have mentioned above, the era of nuclear weaponry negates all of this. Forget the military bases, stay away from the major cities. Doesn't take many nukes to destroy an entire nation. Take away the electrical grid and most military bases fail. The generators can only last for so long.

So it's really a pointless discussion. There is no prepping for WW3. The nukes come out and we're all dead. If the initial blasts don't kill you, the nuclear winter will. And it's over from there.

Prepping for WW3 only prolongs the suffering.

Since when did central banks care about their consumer base? If they were that virtuous, I would expect them to exercise a slight bit of financial responsibility ever now and then, but they seem immune from that. Traditional currencies are the biggest scam there is -- built in inflation rate and uncontrolled printing ensures that the value of one's funds decreases year over year.

Theoretically, you could switch to a crypto based system and anyone concerned that they wouldn't be able to handle their own private keys safely could always revert to an exchange to hold funds for them (which is essentially the modern day banking system anyways, you entrust the bank to hold all of your funds).

So who fact checks the fact checkers?

Even more fact checkers? And then who would fact check them?

The solution, perhaps just an endless loop of fact checkers, because the purpose they serve is just to editorialize the facts, interject their own opinions, then portray their opinions as the truth.

I remember the early fact checks on coronavirus, downplaying the virus significantly, essentially telling everyone that it isn't anything to worry about. Argument could be made that in January they were correct in "fact checking" the risks of coronavirus. Still shortsighted though.

Their fact checks regarding politics are even more of a sham, not even trying to be objective.

This is the dumbest financial advice you could possibly give. You're advocating for someone to essentially gamble with the money they could use to buy a house, or pay for rent (the roof over their head essentially). You do not invest with money you need to live, you invest with excess fund you have in order to grow wealth.

Gambling the house payment away is a great way to end up homeless. You seem so sure you could get a 5x-10x return on any investment, are there contingency plans? Doesn't sound like it from your post. In the event you end up with a net loss, then what? You have no assets, and you ended up with less money after investment.

Genius thinking.
