Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[nutildah]

I am personally rooting for 20 -25 million to die from it from now til feb 1 2021.

 

Well obviously covid is simply not as lethal an illness as the Spanish Flu, so you have to rejigger your extrapolation a bit to account for reduced lethality. I don't know what the actual numbers are off-hand but I'm sure some decent estimates are out there.


As far as everything else is concerned, I just think some people have fun believing they are the targets of a global conspiracy to keep them down. It somehow adds a sense of meaning to their lives if they can convince themselves they are fighting tyranny in the name of the greater good.


"This affects all of us man!"

The truth is far more boring and depressing perhaps, which is part of what makes it difficult to accept: nobody actually gives a shit about you, because you simply aren't important enough to care about.

Anti-maskers want to fight an enemy that they perceive to be threatening their God-given rights. Meanwhile what they are actually doing is fighting common sense.

Of course the law should be a bit more nuanced than that. I don't think you should have to wear a mask if you aren't in a public area around lots of strangers. But if you are, just have the common fucking courtesy to wear the mask.

Small wonder they skedaddled from here...

I think that she skedaddled because nobody would believe in her market calls and various claims of spectacular trading prowess.  Sort of like why she apparently skedaddled a few months ago.  Either that, or she just got too damn rich to hang out on an Internet forum anymore.

May I suggest a salutary observation of how I subsequently rolled Cryptotourist’s “off topic tongue in cheek silliness” with humour of my own, just to keep the peace between those lovebirds, instead of radiating disapproval at a quirky and insightful chap who was probably a bit peeved at SwayStar for her demand that WO be deleted as “toxic”.^*  LOL.  At least, that was my read on it.

* Original topic title:  “Should Bitcoin Wall Observer thread be deleted?”  Title and OP later edited to call instead for merits to be disabled in WO.

(notice how I used the pronoun "they" ...  walls of nullius "I'm smarter than everyone" text incoming in 3..2..)

She was asking for it there.

By “she”, “was”, and “there”, I mean respectively “you”, “are”, and “here”, because I have Progressed your confusion of pronouns to confusion of inflections, and of other parts of speech.

No, you will not get a long post so easily.  Not even a custom title.

Dude.....WTF is up it with your strange never ending  beef with marcus..never figured that one out.

Surely you've seen this by now or something like it:

You've probably seen signs like these as well from those times:









Social distancing from blacks back then wasn't due to hate... it was due to health.  Medical science believed that colored people could pass diseases, viruses and sicknesses if they weren't "socially distanced".

Do you support all signs and "social distancing" from the 1900's?  Seems criminal 100 years later, right?

So what was going on back in 1918? Big brother trying to force conformity on the masses for the purposes of ushering in a new world order?

I think the theme of Big Brother trying to hold people down was common then and is still common now.  

Especially with this scammy COVID19 shit and peoples retarded cloth masks that make them feel like they are saving the world lol!

I guess no one wants to talk about social distancing black again... rats.  lol jk

You get caught cold using bullshit twisty propaganda techniques to push an agenda, and you just ignore it?  Let’s see, what else:

As far as everything else is concerned, I just think some people have fun believing they are the targets of a global conspiracy to keep them down. It somehow adds a sense of meaning to their lives if they can convince themselves they are fighting tyranny in the name of the greater good.


"This affects all of us man!"

This continued belittling, combined with vast leaps of illogic.  Did you read from Saul Alinsky’s playbook?

Of course, the typical ordinary individual worried about this kind of thing is not personally a target of a global conspiracy.  An ordinary individual is not worth it (unless he ceases to be ordinary by becoming extraordinarily troublesome).  Global power is.

A global conspiracy in fact exists.  Stop with the belittling, or else I will toss something into P&S that give some of the real retards there endless fuel to annoy you:  An open admission, at the baseline, of the existence of a conspiracy to destroy national sovereignty throughout the world, via dishonest covert means.  Real and verifiable (from JSTOR, no less).  Brazenly hiding in plain sight.  Just one tiny little tidbit, a bare scintilla of evidence, a verifiable quotation from someone who would know whereof he spoke...  No, I will not Reveal The Truth (which is anyway far too complex to be understood by ordinary people).

[nutildah]

I'm ignoring you in general because you take too many words to say too little. If you start a post directed at me with an insult, and then I scroll down to see 8 more paragraphs, just assume I'm not reading it.

Have at P&S. Now that tecshare has seemingly retired (forcibly or otherwise) maybe you can become their new self-appointed god. I don't post there anymore, utter waste of time. It's all yours.

[nullius]

If you start a post directed at me with an insult,

You started this by directing a barrage of insults at Karartma1 for his amusing joke:  “Retarded”, “Alex Jonestown” (whereas you’re the only person who has even mentioned Alex Jones!), “shill”, etc.  I am not the only one who objected—although perhaps I was the most vehement.  You then continued to grind your axe on an irrelevant point by belittling and insulting the intelligence of others generally.

I accused you of dishonestly pushing an agenda, based on your observed behaviour.  I used sharper words when warranted warranted.

Your passing this off as a matter of my insulting you is an evasive misdirection.


—So summarized, with links to relevant statements, for the convenience of anyone else who may be curious.  Not you.  Of course, you know who said what; and moreover, as I have told you before:

whatever man, you're nuts if you think i'm reading all that. you win, OK?

My mistake was presuming a literacy level above that of Twitter.  [...]  If you are not reading it, then it is not for you.

I'm ignoring you in general because you take too many words to say too little.

OK.

It's actually not too bad now. It's amazing how the absence of one buffoon can improve the atmosphere. Assuming you have BADecker on ignore.

Corn up.

[Cryptotourist]

Its being politicized in a way the filmmaker never intended, ~

How the fuck do you know what the filmmaker intended?
Consume, conform, stay tuned whilst inside (and outside), doesn't it ring a bell?

~ for the sake of making an edgy meme which just happens to represent a component of the ideology of a political platform in the U.S.

For the sake of a meme? You're getting funny now.

Perhaps we're just trying to globally combat a pandemic by encouraging proper hygiene until it has subsided?

Perhaps not. Proper hygiene does not include locking down people, and destroying economies.

Of course the law should be a bit more nuanced than that. I don't think you should have to wear a mask if you aren't in a public area around lots of strangers. But if you are, just have the common fucking courtesy to wear the mask.

Which new boss has this agenda? No1, no2 or no3? <<< Your words.
Yeah, please do us the courtesy and STFU.

I'm ignoring you in general because you take too many words to say too little. If you start a post directed at me with an insult, and then I scroll down to see 8 more paragraphs, just assume I'm not reading it.

Ignore me too. Cliché.
Whenever you guys get cornered and have nothing more to add, it is always the same. Zero points for being original.

unlike many folks on this forum who believe they got it all figured out..they don't, and neither do I ftm, but anyway....

This trick does not work on me. Try harder.

Dude.....WTF is up it with your strange never ending  beef with marcus..never figured that one out.

Aren't you in charge of the Grin thread FUD? Must have stirred things up today, for you to be asking.
I have a beef, and I wield it towards any direction I please. End of story.

I'm not for sale. Relay that to marcus. And the baton to someone else.


Seems we almost have quorum. This is goooood.

[nutildah]

Your passing this off as a matter of my insulting you is an evasive misdirection.

Not at all. By opening with an insult you instantly drain any desire I might have to read any further. It's actually that simple. So feel free to incorporate that tidbit into your future missives, or not; ultimately its up to you of course.

I do apologize to @Karartma1 for my crassness.

It's actually not too bad now. It's amazing how the absence of one buffoon can improve the atmosphere. Assuming you have BADecker on ignore.

I do, and I read a few threads there from time to time, but some of the topics remain severely depressing even w/o TS. Besides, at this stage in the game I'd just rather not know the political beliefs of people I otherwise hold in high regard for their contributions elsewhere.

How the fuck do you know what the filmmaker intended?

Well I don't. But what I do know is that covid-19 wasn't around in 1988.

[notocactus]

Updates from Brazil (Manaus) and Sweden.

Unexpected precious cost on human resources but Manaus likely reach the herd / community immunity. Sweden probably reaches what they have been looking for at beginning.

My reply to nutildah is re-arranged in descending order of relevance to things other than a forum argument:

How the fuck do you know what the filmmaker intended?

Well I don't. But what I do know is that covid-19 wasn't around in 1988.

Cameraphones were not around in 1949; nonetheless, they are aptly described as handheld portable “telescreens”.  Allegories in literature ranging from Homeric poems to Shakespearean plays are regularly adapted to problems and scenarios specific to modernity.  Etc...

Moreover, the They Live adaptation was not directed at Covid.  It spoke to the reaction to Covid:  Whole societies throughout the world being essentially put under mass house-arrest, under a barrage of official propaganda.  Surely, concerns about mass coercion and manipulative control existed in 1988—and such things were indeed the essential subject addressed allegorically by the film in question.  This is not about Covid, qua Covid.

For more decades than you have probably been alive, some people have been warning that governments could exploit a crisis for tyrannical purposes.  Most people blew them off as “paranoid conspiracy theorists”.  You are blowing them off as paranoid conspiracy theorists when their erstwhile predictions have actually come true.  It is no longer a matter of arguing over potential future happenings:  It is denial of present reality.

—Unless you want to argue that there is nothing whatsoever tyrannical about mass lockdowns under the rubric of unlimited peremptory rule by “emergency” orders.  In that case, we have nothing whatsoever to discuss.

Your passing this off as a matter of my insulting you is an evasive misdirection.

Not at all. By opening with an insult you instantly drain any desire I might have to read any further. It's actually that simple. So feel free to incorporate that tidbit into your future missives, or not; ultimately its up to you of course.

Translation:  When you cannot argue substance, you argue form—and you try to flip everything on its head so as to make it look like you are taking the high road.  That is also intellectually dishonest.  I do not say that for the purpose of being insulting, but rather, as a concise and accurate description.

I do apologize to @Karartma1 for my crassness.

That’s nice of you, as to form.  In substance, you completely misinterpreted the post, and tried to link it to your American election—a matter of much less concern to the rest of the world than Americans would like to believe.


What we need is less fewer (edit: the pedant is must correct himself) arguments with American liberals who are currently whipped into a frenzy over their irrelevant election (which I was not the one to bring up here), and more Bitcoin porn.

By “we”, I mean “I”.

I have comedic licence to rip these cherry-picked misquotes out of context.

I'm a natural born human whore,

I'm not for sale.

So, which is it?  I hear that there is a rising financial starlet who wants to know if you can be swayed to assuage her loneliness by the vast amount of Bitcoin that she makes day-trading.

No, I am not trying to incite any offensive behaviour toward the individual in question.  My sensibilities as a gentleman would not allow such a thing!  Rather, I am trolling sirazimuth, who got upset over a post that SwayStar apparently just ignored.

[nullius]

Are you literally 12 years old, or thereabouts?

I do ask literally, not figuratively.  In the latter case, I should just ignore you.  In the former case, I should desist from discussing porn in front of you.  (Either-or.)

Edited for malapropisms and misplaced words that are uncharacteristic of me.  The same thing happened in my previous post.  I should take notice that arguing with idiots has no salutary effect on one’s own intelligence.

The coming flu season will be the breaking point. Normal flu is less lethal during spring and summer so finger crossed how Covid behaves for the months ahead. You don't want to have people hanging on ventilators at the ICU's again.

Vaccine will be ready at the start of 2021 ore later during spring, it's also possible before 2021. All of them are in the 3th fase of testing.

I hope it will be a done deal in summer 2021 so i can enjoy major sports events like Euro football championship with mass gatherings drinking a glas of beer watching the games and of course seeing woman in tight orange football outfits lol.

The top 3 is still worrisome, i expect India to overtake U.S.A sooner ore later. Do not underestimate Covid-19 the danger is still there, stay save.

[Karartma1]

@nutildah
Apologies accepted. Let's move on.

@nullius
You explained the sense of my original post better than I could possibly do. Only one thing to you as well: let's move on too. As you said this is the last place in the world to have an open debate regarding how the world is becoming a worst nightmare compared to those envisaged in 1984/Brave new world. Because, if you ask me, both Orwell and Huxley were right.
For the sake of respect for everyone else I will stop commenting those topics in this thread.

It's about the initial infection's virus load the immune system has to cope with. This is, by research, the main factor for severeness of Covid19.
Secondary, how effective the individual immune system is working against viruses.
Additionally, the virus floats, bound to aerosols. Influenza is falling to the ground pretty quickly, compared to SARS-CoV-2.
Make your own judgement based on these factors.

Even worse, it seems that positive individuals without symptoms don't develop antibodies. I leave it up to research and science if most of these were false positives, but it seems kinda obvious. Otherwise: good bye, herd immunity.

I recognized that i started to get extremely fed up about "Corona" discussion in general. Not only the mask-defenders, also the weak conspiracy minded and selfish "we don't need the weak and old, so let em die"- type. Everything. It seems like constantly arguing is making everything social-related worse. And it sticks out of my ass already.
I couldn't eat as much as i'd like to vomit. I hope i can find my way out of this depressive episode soon, without being dependent on people becoming SANE again, if they ever were. But this time, with the flu season coming, it's likely going to boil up to the point where everybody hates everybody else. Or is it just me?

EDITed some minor things.

Nah, you don't have to do that. It's a free forum. If any of us really get out of line infofront will smack us down.
