Coronavirus has spread to Finland.

Hopefully it won't survive saunas/alcohol.

Bad news there. Viruses are tough as shit. Only UV-C radiation is quite effective at killing germs, bacteria and viruses (and all animals and humans, with enough watts per square centimeter of exposed skin, over exposure time).

I read that alcohol kills it, and temperatures above 57 degrees C.

50 day moving avarage and 200 day moving avarage is getting closer. Bitcoin jumped up till x3 when last time that happened. Hope we can see the same movement this time

Not corona viruses, afaik.

High temperatures kill viruses, correct. But you need exposed viruses and for a longer time. UVC kills within seconds with a quartz lamp of 30w quoted power and a distance of a few centimeters. If a human could survive a raised core temperature of 60° celsius for an hour, this would be an easy cure. But that isn't the case.
The problem is, the virus is carried in a life supporting environment, the body, and spread by attaching to drops (mucosa) and skin particles outside.

EDIT: The tradeoff of using UVC on the human skin is that it does way more harm to viruses (and bacteria) in a short exposure time than to the human skin, but it's still dangerous. Not many lamps out there that suppress ozone generation, too. One has to research a lot about the safe usage of these lamps before he knows how to avoid endangering human health with them.

A low power directional uvc light source above any door in public areas, directed at the handle from above, would be a huge help in exposition prophylaxe. I saw these hanging over the counters of some fast food restaurants already. Hospitals and airports, all public builings could benefit from that but there's the human affinity to dumbness on the other side of the equation. Putting on masks and feeling safe...

Not selling a single satoshi at $20k. If I wanted to sell @$20k would have sold back in 2017. Have to charge my "hodling fee" so I guess I'm selling some limited q-ty at $50k at least.

If you win, i'll send you another 0.01 BTC

If you take into account lost Monero and remove those from available supply, the effective inflation rate is much higher.  If 30% of Monero are lost by May 2022, then the inflation rate is 1.2%.  The inflation rate is MUCH higher than Bitcoin which has absolute scarcity.  

Inflation may even increase if the rate of lost coins exceeds tail emissions.  

The beauty of an 'opaque blockchain' is that you can't even do a guesstimate how many coins are lost. Your argument that lost coins increase the real inflation rate (flow versus stock) applies equally to Bitcoin. It is however likely that way less Monero private keys are lost since Bitcoin mined its first block in 2009 and was completely new to the world, while Monero launched in 2014. People learn.

Bitcoin is inflationary until the last block with a reward is mined in 2140. The current inflation rate is 3.87%, after the halvening it will be roughly 1.8%. It takes another halvening for Bitcoin to roughly match the Monero inflation rate, not considering it is likely that more Bitcoins are lost than Moneros.


Better arguments why Bitcoin is a (way) better SoV than any other coin is the first mover advantage. The highest network security by (a seemingly ever increasing) hashrate. An unmatched peer reviewed code by some of the best developers in the space, etc. I know where I would store the majority of my wealth.

Do hope though that over time Bitcoin's fungibility gets the priority and attention it deserves, something that could be holding Bitcoin back becoming a true or wider adopted SoV IMHO.

That would be pretty cool, imagine entering the shopping mall to the growls and downtuned guitars of Amorphis

FWIW ... so far no sign of the virus having sustained spreading outside China (unless testing is back-logged or results being withheld in the West?) , I'm tending towards optimism 2019-nCoV might be contained, except for a few countries with poor medical facilities and healthcare practices, places like India, African countries. If this is the case it provides a dilemma for the global community: invest massively in helping those poor wretches clean themselves up or just risk having the virus around for much longer with reinfection blowing back?

Well I had to go to emergency yesterday, my dad was in a bad way.

The hospital was on lockdown, no visitors, locked doors around. Alternate entrances. Total segregation. He got to go to a ward I couldn't be allowed to go with him.

For? Norovirus, apparently but who really knows

India reports first case of Coronavirus.

I hope your dad recovers soon. Nobody knows anything, neither doctors nor politicians, I would really like to know how this has been triggered.
