its like tvbcof just learned the word plasmid 2 week ago and is on a spree of spamming the word to make it seem like he knows what it is

if he knew the differences. and new about things like the pores of the nucleus cell wall.
also also learned about the differences in length of the vaccines code vs DNA code

if he could do the research that puts all that detail together
he would then know that the vaccine DNA doesnt have the function codes that allow it to change dna nor replicate.

and finally he would stop flip flopping spending weeks arguing that he never claimed the vaccines change dna but then today flop back to his narrative insinuating it does

tvbcof please DO YOUR RESEARCH

recognise the vaccine code does not contain the ability to change DNA. doesnt have the length to replace dna. . is not even a full length dna. and at the processes between the cell entry to the nucleus the strands break down to fit through the nucleus pores

now please go learn
the vaccine is not the lengthy processes of crispr bundled up in a vaccine capsid

tvbcof trying to claw his way out of his lies.

<snip>

All f-1 is doing is attempting to hide his lies, by talking about the truths of other people as though they were lies. If he gets his way, he will distract readers from the OP, so that they won't become interested in finding the real truth for themselves.


tvbcof and badeckers words are not truths. they are opinions. and when looking at the facts and data and statistics and observations by the wide population.. its obvious that tvbcof and badecker are not telling the truth.

in their mind they may belief their words. but a self belief is not the same as verified fact by majority of population
basically their belief is a fantasy

atleast tvbcof is trying(badly) but trying to pull himself out of his mistakes.  but it still is not good enough when he tries jumping out of one hole and straight into another

tvbcof trying to claw his way out of his lies.

heck i even said last february that flights were coming in and out of wuhan even though they locked down in january..
i found out later these were not wuhan domestic flights. but other flights doing 'repatriations' and also transporting goods.
..
any way its been a year and tvbcof still thinks the wuhan origins were people eating bats.
maybe if he spent the year researching and not repeating conspiracy sites like other idiots have done. he would learn that covid didnt jump from bat to human via eating a bat.
the actual path was bats coming into contact with another animal. highly suggested as a pangolin. and that it was the pangolins that spread it in their population in 2019. and then when hunted and brought to market it passed to humans
its not said anything about eating pangolins. but just handling their scales without gloves and good hygiene

its strange how tvbcof doesnt understand how chickens need to be immunised and separated from other farm animals..
an then when sold handled with good common sens hygiene principles and also cooked well to avoid things like salmonella. common sense you need to wash and cook chickens thoroughly.
you cant eat chicken raw. even though you could thousands of years ago.  why.. because animals have nasties in them.. thats now the accepted norm
yes it would be great to have pathogen free animals in the world. but thats not the real world.

yep if you dont handle chicken properly. you can get sick. if you dont handle any animal properly you can be affected by a multitude of things. pigs can give you parasites. cows ecoli and parasites. cats and dogs fleas and rabies. the list goes on

thats why its important that farms/animal breeding/markets should be monitored for health risks. much like how restaurants have a hygiene certification inspection.

otherwise this wont be the last big pandemic to occur due to animal cross contamination

thats common sense advice thats been around for decades. and just because the WEF said it last year does not mean they created an event. it just means out of the many organisations saying it for decades one idiot found a video thats most recent to an event.
the conclusion is.. that it seem the advice over the decades fell on deaf ears
8904  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Antiwork: It takes a lot of work to create no work. on: March 01, 2021, 08:03:25 AM
seems eddie is a self employed skilled contractor able to negociate and choose his jobs.
maybe he does realise(but does not consider) there are some folk like tvbcof that are not skilled and need to work as an employee for companies to avoid sounding like a welfare duck

i dont need to work nor claim welfare. but i atleast do consider there are people like tvbcof that fear the need of the welfare duck.

anyways..
yes when you call a plumber out, the expectation is that their hourly rate for a call out is 6x-12x min wage depending on job as the hourly rate. because trying to find a skilled plumber thats not already busy on other jobs is a thing. the emergency need to stop a leak causes a good premium

but 'employment' if unskilled is usually minimum wage. where there are say a hundred applicants just wanting to avoid the duck quacks of welfare.

think about it if welfare was equivalent to say $5.30 an hour(google: us missisipi). people would take $7.50 and the only negotiation becomes the number of hours needed
without a minimum wage employers would start at $5.30. because they know a couple people out of hundreds of applicants would still work for $5.30 just to avoid the welfare duck quack stigma that tvbcof suffers from/fears.

no minimum wage would cause a pay decrease in job applications where its equal/only marginally better than welfare

meaning even if there are 98 other applicants that wanna 'freemaket' negotiate their pay.. they aint gonna get the job as the 2 that would accept $5.30 got the job. and thats one of the many reasons minimum wage was put in. so employers cant low-ball applicants

eddie did raise just one good point about someones wage is not their final income. because when you take into considerations that an 9 hour paid job is actually more like 10hours work related activity(travel and uniform laundry and lunch prep' aswell as the costs of travel and laundry and lunch makes a $90 for 9 hours actually become a ~$80 for 10 hours(then tax/insurance deductions to be even less)

so imagine that if the pay was $5.30/h. the end result is not $47.70 for 9 hours.. but $37.30 for 10 hours
making employment worse than welfare quacking unless you negotiate alot of hours

this is why the government have the 3 budgets of
welfare, survival(min), living wage
~$5.30    $7.50              $15
because they know that without min wage, employers would still take people on at welfare budgets

and if you think people wont take that low pay.
well it looks like that other states get something like $378 a week welfare($9.45 an hour equivelent) but still decide to work for only $7.50.. or enen lower at under $5+tips just to avoid the welfare duck stigma

seems there are many covid deniers in this topic

what these deniers seem to keep spouting is that they dont realise basic facts.
they have binary brains thinking covid has 2 options
no smell vs death

they dont understand that there actually is a scale even for those not hospitalised
its like
loss of tastes/smell
cough
loss of appetite
fever/chills
fatigue
insomnia
breathlessness
abdominal pains
etc

where symptoms not only scale from 0-10
but also where the length of symptoms go from 1day-12 weeks
yep even people that dont need hospital care get #long covid'
30% of those getting the top 6 symptoms have them in varying amounts for months

there is no 65yo cut off line of the binary ignorance of fine or dead
there is actually a scale of illness going from such minor issues they dont notice. to issues that are just annoying but concerning. to issues that interrupt peoples normal day (tired but cant sleep)
to issues where they have to just rest up in bed because they just so warn out day and night
and thats before even getting to the severity of needing hospitalisation

an yes im calling BS to the guy saying he had tons of friends with only loss of taste/smell or no symptoms
and thats because most people wont waste time in their day getting tested for no reason.
they would have by just normal common sense and psychology only want to take time out of their day to book a test and travel to get a test if they are concerned about their symptoms because their symptoms are not only noticeable. but concerning enough to make them want to know if its covid or not

so if the guy above is thinking loads of his co-horts were not worried/concerned/suffering at all.. then they would not have got tested.
i cant see any common sense where people would bother getting tested just for giggles and boredom

..
but the funny part is that the guy is also a mask denier
even though surgical masks are worn by.. surgeons..
yep they are affective.

i would say home proper N95 are the better ones to wear. but not as cheap. surgical masks are cheaper. and fabric home made coverings are cheaper.
its also a scale of protection from
95% N95
80% surgical masks
40% face covering

where a combination of surgical and face covering is more than 80%
but yea the mask denier is still binary mindset thinking only in yes or no option of does it work. not accepting that the real world is actually not binary.

Not needing to work for real money is itself a lot of work for people who find themselves in such a situation because usually they got to where they are by being habitual workers.

For most people I would suggest to take a cue from franky1.  Just live in a welfare state where society will give you enough of a life to spend all day in your hovel feverishly typing on your cell phone.  Until the Grim Vaxxer come knocking at least.

funny part is i dont claim any welfare.
there is this thing. called bitcoin(maybe you heard of it. but seeing as you want to support the FIAT currency seems not). and if you have enough of it. you dont have to work. you can afford to travel and get to see the world. yep i am supported by bitcoin not welfare
maybe you should try it.

that said when it comes to taxes. that money should be used to help those in need.
if your against taxes going to people in need. im guessing you prefer taxes going to corporations that want.

thats the issue with capitalist countries. they cry that businesses should be unregulated and businesses should be supported by government.. then they cry that businesses are unregulated and businesses are supported by government.

you can spot the idiot flip flop capitalists that have no clue because they are usually fed their narrative from conspiracy sites promoting to be anti-gov anti-pharma. whilst secretly telling people to stop funding citizens needs and start buying pharma supplements

you know. when millions can die of things. they dont want people having healthcare or cures. they just want to see poor people die so that they can pretend to be the exception.... and then cry when its their il health at risk that there is no healthcare/support for them..

...pfft.. capitalism only works for those at the top of the pyramid
8907  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Are Bill Gates comment to blame for BTC price instability these days on: February 28, 2021, 12:54:39 AM
bill gates cannot be seen as a guy investing for profit.
his persona is investing in health

his personal investment strategy has nothing to do with bitcoin and he is just publicly saying an announcement to his investors that their money is going towards health products. not bills personal profit game

..
as for bitcoins price.
the speculation of nearly 3x of value bubbled, where 2x up to 3x is due to the elon buy in.
but that excessive speculation hype bubble is not a sustainable price. it was always going to correct.

bill gates announcement happened after the elon correction speculation.
bill gates did not cause it

elon news (caused bull: 8th feb: $38k- 21st feb $58k)
elon correction(21st feb: $58k- 26th feb $46k)
bill gates announcement(26th feb $46k-today $46k)
seems gates announcement made no difference

(current hype bubble is 2.2x (46k hype price compared to 21k value))
expect that the price can wave up and down somewhat. depending on the which influencer can hype or hump the speculation.
8908  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Will the bitcoin ecosys benefit of a fully regulated and public Coinbase? on: February 28, 2021, 12:40:14 AM
Well, I think it may benefit to some extent but I don't think it's going to be very significant either. Paypal allowing their users to buy Bitcoin and Mush buying Bitcoin for Tesla I think have been much more significant than this could be.


...

but apart from that. i think it will just be a 'famous for 5 minutes' media speculation at IPO day

Big corporate clients would be willing to enter the ecosystem if there were sufficiently assured. They are not going to use Paypal, but they can use a large exchange that is focusing its efforts on providing that assurance and developing products that aim for the large clients. This is the point of interest on Coinbase taking further steps to comply with regulations, including those for public companies, which are particularly demanding.

Coinbase is following a very solid strategy for a long period of time and I think is going to work in favour of the ecosystem in a greater measure that those 5 minutes - which will be there of course.

coinbase is already regulated.
coinbases current 5 minute fame is about getting 'clients' to buy fiat shares of a company. not buy bitcoin
the IPO itself is just 5 minute fame for the fiat market. its a pump of the NASDAQ:COIN market, not bitcoin
coinbase advertises over 40 cryptos so not an advert saying 'buy only bitcoin' either

alot more needs to be done to the BITCOIN ecosystem to hype the bitcoin ecosystem
yes it might cause PRICE pump and dumps of multiple coins while this media blitz occurs
but it wont change the ecosystem(infrastructure of bitcoin)

..
anyone trying to look for any hints of what can cause a bull market. or a PRICE hype or a new ATH. where they dont actually care or want to think about the fundamentals, infrastructure or VALUE
. they are not actually interested in the bitcoin ecosystem. they are only looking for hints to get th price up so that they can exit bitcoin and get fiat profits.

hal? you mention hal?

CSW was not even involved in bitcoin during 2008-2011
wake up to the lies

franky, you should take the time to comprehend what it is your reading before using it as an excuse to go off on somebody.

OP clearly said he does not believe CSW is Satoshi... no need to talk down to him.

the insinuation is there. by even making it a 'if' question. and also by trying to link hal..
eve satirically. but even mentioning an IF shows the OP is reading down a certain passage of story.

i was just trying to clearly point out and remove any 'if' or insinuation or link to hal
i simply clarified CSW origin story did not even begin in in the 2008-2011 era of satoshi and hal.

CSW and klieman era origin story began in 2013

as to the reason CSW wants fame.
because he does not understand hard work or innovation. he only understands popularity as his effort to make money.
speaking roles has always made him money. consultant/public speaker..
he is not an inventor/producer/worker.

he scammed many people with his words and is in soo deep crap that he has to go loud and public to try keeping his scammed people off his back

he thinks because he has no private key proof. he thinks media proof is all thats needed.
EG
'im an inventor because magazine words said i am'
all its doing is delaying the inevitable

he wants to use media articles as his SLAPP defense as proof of his stature, to then sue other people for calling out his fraud.
its now not a game of winning cases.its a case of keeping people locked up in lengthy court cases for years costing them soo much money they give up their claim or pay him to settle
he cant win on facts/proof alone. so he has to force slapps to break the opposition

if he loses publicity/stature.. he loses
8911  Other / Politics & Society / Re: EU Told to Back Vaccine Passports or Google May Do It Anyway on: February 27, 2021, 11:27:33 PM
seems we have a conspiracy nut..

ok
well some facts
for decades government has used the social security number as both a government id and also a tax number and a social benefits number.

what you dont realise is that when it comes to healthcare. EU healthcare does not use social security number. people have a medical patient number.

vaccines, doctors appointments, are on a completely different system to social security numbers
they dont ask for social security numbers

passport numbers are another separate database. they dont ask for social security numbers
driving licence numbers are a separate database. they dont ask for social security numbers

to create a united database of a single ID whereby all government info and all health info are linked would take years.
its not something that is going to be implemented to be used by 'vaccine passport" or the normalisation plan of may-august 2021

and from the looks of it the government are not even going to implement it.

there is no biometric government ID+healthcare 'passport' that will link everything together and allow freedom of access to flights by 2021. and it appears there wont ever be.

in short people can get on a plane now and fly. they can get on a plane in a few months and fly.
the difference is that if you want to avoid a 'quarantine hotel' in a few months. you have to show that you are clear of the virus. this is in 3 DIFFERENT ways
1. covid negative test before and after departure
2. show the vaccine certificate
3. show you recovered from covid

the vaccine certificate is not some government ID. its just a piece of paper you get after a vaccine.. its basically a receipt. it has no leather cover. no photo. no address. it doesnt do anything but show you had a vaccine

but you dont need that. you can use other ways to show that you are able to fly healthily without affecting other passengers. (as noted 1.3)

in previous years i flew alot.
last year i didnt. not due to any government fears. but due to not wanting to be in a metal cylinder with hundreds of other people sharing their breath for multiple hours.

when i get vaccinated and im sure the other passengers are vaccinated too. ill be happy to fly again without the risk of a cesspit of covid breathe surrounding me.

if google or microsoft or apple or IBM have a database that requests people to record their vaccine receipt. and passport number is in no way the same things as ID2020 conspiracy

having a system that has linked your plane ticket to your vaccine does not mean they know your whole medical record or that you had a few speeding tickets or that you owe some tax

take your tin foil hat off,
just admit. you fear getting on a plane because of covid. and not because of your delusions of government implementing things that are not even implemented.
teach yourself the reality of why you dont want to get on a plane right now. because its not id2020 because we are in 2021 and there is no government ID and there wont be in 2021

hal? you mention hal?

CSW was not even involved in bitcoin during 2008-2011
wake up to the lies

CSW came across bitcoin in about 2013.. a complete newbie and no connection to bitcoin. he then made a file of loads of public keys that anyone can grab. because the addresses are on the public blockchain.
he also grabbed the public signature of a certain transaction. yep its all public information. anyone can do it.

he pretended he invented something to get some fake fame and fake collateral

he duped or colluded with another guy called kleimen. and said that the list of public addresses is proof of his holdings and the public signature is the proof of ownership of holdings.

he never had a private key(s). he never actually mined or held the coins.

he then scammed other people into his lies and they financed him. he also set up some companies and sourced government grants and tax credits using the scammed public file as collateral.
the australian government and the scammed investors are after him trying to get their justice.

he then got other investors to help with his legal costs promising them they will get their returns in the forms of settlements from his SLAPP lawsuits he wants to pursue. and his book/movie/story deals he will do in the future

his current slapp case with klieman estate is just a bait case used to delay previous legal actions against him (australian government and initial investors to his first ponzi)

now you should be upto date

any questions?

The US is hardly a free market and Trump is hardly a libertarian..

Open boarders? Hell yes!!
Just have to completely stop ALL forms of welfare first Smiley
ALL

Is that possible?


They will vote for open boarders and all the welfare/free shit they can get their hands on..
They don’t care about what’s best for the future of the country, they just selfishly care about what’s best for them RIGHT NOW..

more people living in a city means more people buying food means more people needed to replenish the shelves of food=more jobs.

the failure is not in letting people in. its in letting businesses pay less wages/employ less staff/let businesses set up far away from their homeland

its that analogy
gov invites society to a cookie handout where there is 100 cookies. inviting 50 people promising 2 cookies each
30 corp guys turn up and get 3 cookies each. (leaving 10 cookies left)
18 citizens and 2 immigrants turn up
gov hands the immigrants 2 cookies each as they are starving
gov tells the citizens that they cant have their promised 36 cookies.. and point towards the immigrant as the immigrants eating 4 cookies.

when you learn that making new cookies to feed everyone is just a flick of a switch. dont blame the small % that get cookies because they need it. blame the corps that dont need. but love to have more then they deserve. and blame the gov for not offering enough cookies, even when they are in full control of cookie making

devs 2015 promise was new BITCOIN code to make bitcoin fees go back to sub penny prices.
instead they 4x legacy to make it appear their new code was cheaper(false pledge complete). meanwhile their new code increased from pennies to dollars and legacy increased even further using their multiplier.

this was not 'a make fees cheaper game' after all. it was a make old code more expensive to promote utility of new code.

this whole game of making bitcoins fee's go up is purely done to advertise other networks users should use instead that are not as secure. dont even have a blockchain. dont even have a network wide verification system. but do offer cheap fees.

its the old. dont transact with gold as thats expensive to handle. lock it up in our vaults and we will let you play with bank notes in our new banking system.

..
if a government in 2015 said they know a 1% sales tax was alot for bananas and they will make new gov policies to get that down
then in 2017 they instead made the plain banana tax 4% while offering a new govbanana brand at 1%. saying look our new govbanana is 4x cheaper.. would you buy it and accept they fulfilled their promise.
no?.. of course not

what if they then wanted you to stop handling plain real banana's and instead lock them in veg warehouses. and and play with millibanana's on a vegan only virtual market. where the millibanana transactions were 0.001% whereby you also need warehouse managers permission to get your real banana's out when you dont want to play anymore.

i personally just want my real plain banana to be able to be traded at 1% or under again.. not this gaming stuff that is trying to imply real banana's should not be held.. as thats how the gold:bank-note game was played in the 1900's. and we all know why we moved to bitcoin to escape bank-note game
8919  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin activity now uses more energy than all of Argentina on: February 27, 2021, 08:34:51 AM
Articles that benchmark this way aim for more clicks to make the headline interesting but not new.
Bitcoin carries a market with a capacity of about a trillion dollars and the network needs energy to ensure its continuity.
Mining equipment uses clean energies and can easily be converted to zero emissions in a short time unlike many other energy-consuming things.

yes the article is clickbait and people like badecker fall for it.
anyway, for clarity:
bitcoins market does not have a trillion dollar capacity.
bitcoins market price is based on the current price of bitcoins single trade at a single time
the market cap is just a multiplication of that single trade at single time. there is no huge bank account holding $1 trill

my 'valuation' of bitcoin is never based on the 'market cap' (empty multiplication of no meaning)
my valuation of bitcoin is on the underlying value. how much money is being spent to secure the network and mine coins. because no one will sell a coin for less than it cost to mine/obtain. and no one would mine if its easier to just buy. so a true value baseline of substance and support is in the bottomline mining cost
($21k a coin=(meaningless marketcap multiplier value of $391b for those still loving cap values))

..
that said.
most major mining farms have contracts with utility companies. they do not buy out the domestic/residential supply allotment. instead they buy out the 'excess' electric. the difference between how much electric capacity a company can produce vs how much is actually used(capacity:supply:utility. 3 different things).

yep electric companies usually have a capacity of 120, supply say 110 constantly, where by the actual utility is only97. whereby normally that excess 13 goes to waste. unpaid for
bitcoin mining farms buy into that 13 with a contract of constant need/utility.
this then gives electric companies 13% profit for doing nothing more then pumping out what they always do. they can use this money to buy more generators(increase capacity potential above 120) or keep the generators working without having to turn off because they are even more profitable just to let it flow.
so everyone is happy

bitcoin miners have set their farms to only increase their hash by 1-5% periodically. because they dont want to shoot themselves in the foot spiking the difficulty.  but they also upgrade the farms hardware where the electric efficiency per hash gets better. so that the 1-5% hash increases periodically are not even 1-5% electric increases.

last point to make
bitcoin miners if all farms moved to argentina. then yes there wont be enough 'excess' contractable capacity for all of them. and yes in that situation they would be then eating into residential utility and causing brownouts.
..but mining farms are distributed across many countries. so each one is snipping only small chunks of individual countries 'excess'. thus not even harming the residential utility, but instead helping electric companies expand their capacity

It would be interesting how many of these teens and early 20s are actually buying a portion of BTC but I don't think they have the numbers to reverse this bullrun since institutions and platforms like Paypal or Visa are still the main market drivers.

??dont think they can reverse the bull run??
the bull snared its horns on the 21st of feb at $58k. when bitcoin was at a 2.7x of speculative bubble above underlying value. since then it seems like the bears are on the field now.
the big players got their beef dinner. now its time for them to thank the chef and go home and take a nap.
big players dont advertise their investment interest before the deal is done as the advert would end up costing them higher prices.. so its always a buy first advertise later. then sell at the peak
yep many think its a form of pump and dump. but thats business
a true manipulative pump and dump is not jst the pump. but the dump. and whenthey advertise a sudden dislike for something they just promoted. that the dump.
(secret is they want the dump because they already sold and want the prices dwn to get back in at a lower price for more later profit)

also the main bitcoin open markets are not where most of the big players play.
just look at the markets, the market order lines are usually way under 0.1btc a line. not really holding enough volume collectively to be able to have some big player buy 50,000 coins in one month. without causing big impact
big players use private OTC services to get the big hoards. yes this ripples down to later affect the public markets. but is not a direct impact when they initially buy
by the time the markets react to a big player. the big player has already finished

its actually the small players affected by drama and speculation pushing price up. and also some smart veteran traders with bots programmed to recognise trends to play the waves.. and just go on a buying spree when prices are at under 1.3x underlying value and go on a sells spree when over 2x
so yes the teens/early 20's can affect the prices. because they are the main speculators on public markets that cause this volatile speculation due to news of events that finished days before it was news
big player elon bought his 50k btc in otc services in december..(no price drama)
millenial speculators bought small 0.1btc's on public markets afterwards collectively, reacting to news after the event
causing the jan/feb bull.
but that speculation has died down.
