Herd immunity is already there.

Numbers are going down.

Virus is running out of warm bodies to infect.

I don't know if it's just me but I'm constantly disconnecting from Kraken. Fortunately most of my orders are preprogrammed.

...when Kraken servers go prrrrrrrrrr...

I put SSDs in all my PCs when they were very expensive, nowadays if you give me a PC to repair or improve, you must fork for an SSD or I don't touch it.

Yerp, heard about that. It's insanity. Honk honk.

Oh hey that's very cool. Bitcoin came in at number 38 in the coindesk

selection of the most innovative, consequential and viable projects. Together, these organizations promise another internet revolution.

Perhaps it stands a bit of a chance after all.

Lots of nonsense and distractions in that list and the discussion points, and their top 50 stops at 45 for some strange reason.

True, warm bodies have been kept distanced, away from each other, etc and the numbers are going down. More in countries that did this well, less in countries that did not do this well. "Herd" immunity works when the herd is being careful.

Now we get to see what happens when you re-add bodies to the pool.

I have a feeling I know which way this is going to go, when you tamp down a fire to coals and then pour gasoline on the coals you get a predictable response. But hey, maybe "this time it will be different"....

Let's check back in 2 months. Place your bets folks, just remember that chip you're betting with is your life.

[lightfoot]

Holy crap, bitcoin is at 9625 ish. This is nice.

[Tash]

Strikethrough no change of number last 2 days.   San Marino no-one died the last 19 days.
Some countries have a horrible health system, correct definition would be disease system.

Numbers will keep going down.

Lockdowns in almost every country were a joke.

So easing restrictions will not change anything.

Numbers will keep going down.

Russian mining Farm for Bitcoin Mining in Bratsk (BitCluster)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88aWYwcrfMI

I don't understand what they are saying (in Russian), so I did not really watch much of the 10 minute video.. maybe some English subtitle version would be nice.

Also, yeah it looks really impressively large and sophisticated, but yeah, my naivity perhaps, but I had not even heard of the company BitCluster, so i did a quick glance at the active list of mining pools, and I do not see the name "BitCluster" referenced anywhere there, so I am not sure where they fit into the bitcoin ecosystem (are they within one of the mining pools?)

[cAPSLOCK]

Everyone is saying by 2023 we will be rich.

We will be rich by 2021. By 2023 we will be filthy rich.  

Nobody knows what will happen

Yes we do !

Of course we do.

But what if we're already rich?

Haha.

What's the way to end up with a small fortune in the music business?

Start with a very large fortune.

How about a poll for what to replace vegeta with.

Please. Anything but an infantile kindergarten cartoon character.

No Mickey Mouse, Vegeta, or Care Bears.

At least the Sparta meme at 300 was adult-oriented.

Maybe 200g of gold as the next threshold to celebrate?

I'm tired of measuring it in dollars.

[Ibian]

I come bearing great news. According to a german study, soyboys die to the coof at twice the rate of normal men. Testosterone is the hormone of the gods gentlemen, never go full soy.

Also, women with high T levels (for women) are dying at a higher rate than normal feminine women. It's almost like trying to be men is not healthy for them.

At this point if we found out that the virus had been engineered specifically to improve the fitness of humans as a specie I would not be fucking surprised.

[JayJuanGee]

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Nice to see an orderly rise since the halving... currently $9725USD/$13733CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

It's still early but so far, it's reminding me more of the 1st halving than the 2nd.

Let's keep the daily rises and corrections coming. We don't have to go super exponential until next year. Slow and steady wins the race.

Go Bitcoin go.

You might be correct, Jimbo, but there also might be an inability to rush towards a new ATH before the end of the year.  I doubt that would necessarily result in another long bear season, but maybe would end up looking more like 2013 with a double top, rather than looking like 2017 with a single top.  Perhaps?  Perhaps?

Anyhow, bitcoin may want to surprise us in terms of what she does.

It is possible that infofront is not even adequately equipped to construct such a poll, because as far as I know there is no fill-in-the-blank poll construction, so the topic seems suitable for another thread for anyone willing to lead such efforts, and I am sure it would get quite a bit of attention, in the event that such thread has not already been created.  There are some meme threads too, but I am NOT sure if I have seen the most influential ones... I have seen some bitcoin art, of course.

I would not mind watching any suggestions that might come out of such a suggestion of new meme thread(s)... including at what price point(s) such meme(s) would apply.

Please don't go below $9,000

Speaking of the devil:  Infofont.. I mentioned you in my above response to Jimbo's post... .... hahahahaha ... what a coincidence, I was smelling sulfer..  could have been corona, but ended up being something else...   .   (just for clarity... I do not actually believe that infofont happens to be the devil)


Regarding your "don't go below $9k" preference (or is that attempting to negotiate price with kingdaddy (aka begging)?  quite unbecoming for sure):  Geez.... Would be nice... but what are the odds?

I mean really?

Sure, at some point, we have to leave this 4 digit realm and even to discontinue going sub $9k, but surely this kind of ranging and going below $9k could last 6 more months or longer even.. would not be out of the question, and probably the odds are even greater than 56.2815769932/43.7184231068 that we are visiting sub $9k at least one more time.

[infofront]

New poll!

Old poll:

[sirazimuth]

Closing in on $10k... last opportunity to buy four digit BTC? 

Good afternoon WO!
Observing @ $9,737

$10k is at the door.

I think I've seen this movie about a million times...

Nice setup, strawbs!

Still have my Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K (pictured earlier), in full working order (well, it worked 30+ years ago when I last used it), in its original box.

Tau Ceti. The very best game of its time. A truly immersive gaming experience.

That reminded me of Starflight that I used to play obsessively on my roommate's Tandy 1000 back in the mid eighties. That game was epic.

Spread to 190 countries in the world. That just alone shows what a hoax this is. From 1 Person on a chinese fish market to 190 countries... Biggest bs in history!

[JimboToronto]

Gave up visiting that website years ago when they started to talk about ‘blockchain’ instead.

The only thing worse than "blockchain" is "crypto".
