2 digs for the price of one

[d_eddie]

Yes, it is Sunday
but I see no haiku yet
so here's my 2 cents



#haiku

[d_eddie]

I was reminded
haikus should be relevant...
10k and counting!

[AlcoHoDL]

I've been infected!
Can't stop watching Bitcoin price.
Coronavirus?

#haiku

[d_eddie]

You see the same ho?
variety is much better
different hoes each time

[bitserve]

WOOT GO BTC!!!!!!

Fuck, I am too drunk to determine who won. At first instance it looks like it was eddie13. Is that right?

P.S.: On other news... WE ALL WON

I believe so. I'm 8 seconds slower. Congratz eddie13

If, after sobriety has been reclaimed, and/or rigorous examination of the photo finish determines me the winner, the address in my profile is good

I suggest addresses be communicated via PM. It makes it all too easy to link user to address (receiver and sender).

Yeah... But in fact the receiver address is indeed eddie13 profile bitcoin address and the sending address is in fact a virgin (no previous history) address I publicly used here to receive the Vegeta prize from LFC and also an address I have "staked" here in the forum.

So both are already completely username linked addresses and should be treated as such with no real need to hide it.

@LFC I hope you don't mind I funded my silly game (and maybe some others in the future) indirectly from your pocket lol
Hey that makes you a sponsor I guess!

I'm not trying to spread fear and panic but forewarned is forearmed ... if this report can be confirmed we're in for a rougher ride than I was imagining.

Shanghai Municipal Gov. press conforance: #coronavirus aerosol transmission via droplets 0.1mm and below exhaled in a few seconds evaporate in 10ms into droplet cores micrometers in size and can travel hundreds of meters and can can cause infection.

tl;dr airborne contam.

Eh, no. those aerosol droplets are snot, the same snot you always exhale, aka sneeze out, when you have a cold or the flu or whatever. And they behave the same way, they do not travel "hundreds of meters". Unless you can show me how a virus can magically turn snot into "droplet cores micrometers in size" in 10ms I call bs.

- Death toll from outbreak of coronavirus rises to 813 (surpassing the death toll of the SARS outbreak), 37,553 confirmed cases worldwide, 28,942 suspected cases, 6,196 in critical condition and 2,681 recovered.

- 6 new cases of coronavirus on cruise ship near Tokyo, raising ship's total to 70.

- 400m people under lockdown that’s larger than the entire US population! Turns busy Chinese cities into ghost towns.

- Singapore reports 7 new cases, 4 patients in the city-state are now in critical condition.

- Two new coronavirus cases in the UAE.

- Confirmed cases in Japan climbs to 90.

- 5 people who were diagnosed with coronavirus in France are all British nationals.

- 30 medical staff in Wuhan Mental Health Center were diagnosed with the virus.

- Thailand reports 7 new cases of coronavirus, raising country's total to 32.

- U.S. citizen dies of coronavirus in Wuhan.

- Royal Carribean Cruises has placed a ban on tourists with a Chinese, Hong Kong, or Macau passport as well as anyone who has been there in the past.

- Toyota and Honda extend China plant shutdowns over coronavirus.

- IPhone maker Foxconn tells employees at Shenzhen facility not to return to work until further notice.

- Steel, copper, gas producers have had shipments stalled as China's manufacturing activity slows due to virus outbreak.

- Patients who recover from coronavirus can get infected again.

If you can get reinfected, would't that mean that a vaccin is impossible? I would like to get some more info on that before I believe it.

[Arriemoller]

OK..
I think this thread is worse than 4chan as far as the mexican beer conspiracy goes.. lol

Contagious at hundreds of meters and develops no immunities so you can get infected over again?
We would all be dead..

I don't live anywhere near a city, but have a kid in the house that goes to public school..
A possibly 2 week non-symptomatic but contagious incubation period on top of "hundreds of yards" and "repeat infections"..
No chance..

That's an end of the world situation.. Must be BS.. Or I don't care how many guns and masks and food you think you have on your secluded property.. Sooner or later you're game over..

Agree, and also, why would the Chinese develop a bio weapon that kills Asians in droves and give westerners a cough?

"lieutenant, have you released the bio weapon?"
"Yes major, they are all coughing now."
"Good, order attack and hope we win before we get sick and die."
"Yes sir!"

Flu vaccines never provide complete immunity against influenza viruses if I am not mistaken. You can still get infected but you'll recover far quicker compared to an unvaccinated person.

Availability of a vaccine has nothing to do with this I believe.

U.S. vaccine effectiveness by start year:[23][24]
2004   10%
2005   21%
2006   52%
2007   37%
2008   41%
2009   56%
2010   60%
2011   47%
2012   49%
2013   52%
2014   19%
2015   48%
2016   40%
2017   36%
2018   47%

Not all my friend.

No immunity
It flies hundreds of meters
It's eternal cough

Just looking at this from a strictly numbers view, putting all emotions aside about death and doom, etc.

Coronavirus mostly kills older people. Older people mostly don't own Bitcoin and have little interest to buy it compared to younger people. When they die they leave money and assets to younger people. Younger people use money and sell assets to buy Bitcoin. Moon.

except this old person. i plan to die with zero btc (or most any assets actually) left. the timing is iffy; im still working on a workable timeline for the various events planned.

How do you plan to do that? I mean, it is difficult to really calculate the ratio of spending when there are many uncertainties like how many years you have left, what emergency spendings you might incur into, etc...

The only financial products that may help some here are: Reverse mortgage and some private pension funds. But it is still insufficient to really achieve the perfect optimisation of reaching ZERO just as the time is over.

[Gyrsur]

waiting for the Banksters if they short that thing?  

[JimboToronto]

Under ten and back.
It's still too early for me
To drink a shot though.

I'll stick to coffee
And wait until happy hour
And have a shot then.

Any assets this old person leaves will be mostly Bitcoin. I see Bitcoin increasing in value faster than I can spend it.

Sure I have fewer coins than I had at my peak but I'm only spending them as necessary to maintain my lifestyle of living happily ever after.

My total may not be worth as much as in late 2017 but in a couple of years I'll be able to consider myself rich and not merely comfortable.

Hopefully I'll still have lots to leave my heirs.

then take two girlfriends instead of just one and the money will disappear much faster.

@APompliano

Bitcoin just hit $10,000.

I still think that Bitcoin will hit $100,000 by end of December 2021.

Fixed supply. Increasing demand. Time will tell.

And congrts again!!

Confirmed!
Thank you!

All them long days of manual trading paid off in them quick clicking skills I guess

Indeed. Managing to beat a previous Vegeta winner (Icygreen) by a full 8 seconds is certainly impressive!

Well done. Very well done.

yeah. but the planning is half the fun.
