Okey dokey, uncleD's wild goose chase.
It's exactly the reason he never found the Easter egg when we were kids.

Polo down for (unexpected) maintenance.

All funds are... (of course) 'safe'.

hmm

EDIT: Yeah, I know, a bit retro to use Polo now, but I still use it.

WHO's definition:

My understanding is that China has always required the patient to have both a positive test and pneumonia.  

The original case definition required them have both of those factors, and to have contact with the wet market....

Unusual activities before the epidemic
The U.S. government will investigate the stock market manipulations took place before the Wuhan epidemic including (but not limited to):

“Exists” from Stock Exchanges in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong.
short-selling
People with knowledge of the viral attack sold a large number of stocks to American, European and Saudis investors. Many people who sold their stocks include Jiang Zhicheng (the grandson of Jiang Zeming, the former president of China), Meng Haijin (the daughter of Meng Jianzhu), and Gao Yanyan, etc.
Li Ka-shing, a pro-CCP tycoon in Hong Kong, unloaded a significant portion of his stock holding after Nov 12, a move he did not take during the Hong Kong pro-democracy protests.
Many Chinese business tycoons have been shorting stocks and selling stock holdings to foreigners while keeping their mouths shut since Nov 12, 2019.

Shorting exchanges where American investors are long is now outlawed. These bastards don't share our values. Bomb them!

Why have you got "Pink Panties" as your personal text? Is that the colour of knickers you are wearing today?

This is the only explanation you're getting - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnXPqUU6fI0&t=0m51s

I think you got away so lightly here.


I know when a few of the old masters around here saw you dare to mention Gentalmand's panties they were reeling back with fear what might be unleashed. OK some may have just reached for the popcorn.


Thank satoshi for weird "music" on youtube.

There's a conspiracy theory behind that. It says that the CCP leaders and friends caused the nCoV outbreak and took advantage of the inside knowledge beforehand, shorted their holdings and fled the country before things got hot.
Don't ask ME if this is true or not

I got the idea for this graph in Investing 1$ every day in bitcoin over the last five years, but the graph I created doesn't only include the last 5 years until today. It includes every consecutive period of 5 years in which Bitcoin had a dollar value, until yesterday.

I don't know if anyone ever made a graph like this before, but I think it adds a nice perspective.

Results:

Data source: https://coinmetrics.io/newdata/btc.csv
Note: I had to use a logarithmic scale to make the graph readable.

Details:
The first 5 year period starts on July 18, 2010, when Bitcoin is valued at $0.08584. On this day, $1 buys 11.64958062BTC.
After spending $1 on Bitcoin every day for 5 years (I used 1826 days), it's July 17 2015.
July 17, 2015 is the very first data point in the graph: the most left red and blue dots.
The last data point (the most right red and blue dots) represent the investment period that ended on February 9, 2020, and started 5 years before that date.

The obvious
Early adopters had the best bet. Nothing new here!
Investing a total of $1826 in Bitcoin, for 5 years, with a dollar per day, would have gotten you $10,000 or more at the end of your 5 years, no matter when you started!
The amount of Bitcoin you can buy using "dollar cost averaging" for 5 years in a row has continuously been declining. No exceptions!
The dollar equivalent seems to have touched a bottom at $10,000.

Investment advice
I don't do that! This graph is based on historic data, if I'd know the future, I'd be rich!

BitcoinSV seems to be having some issues  

https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-sv-nodes-crash-following-genesis-downgrade/

"the end goal was to have one node controlled by Calvin Ayres" Just cruel.
On the bright side, with two nodes a 51% attack is not possible.

When someone asks me why I hang out in the WO, I answer with this kind of posts: a true knwoledge pearl.

In the WO thread you can find everything: from the most cheeky memes or the most obnoxious rants to competent news reporting or thoughtful analysis like this one.

got out at .042

had a buy order in at .0285...but yeah...I pulled that

How would having 2 nodes make an attack impossible?

More greater than the graph would be the person to offer this as a service. A 1$ a day sweep, oh boy how that could snowball

I think he’s jokingly referring to the impossibility of having a 51% share of 2.
Funny.
The reality is you can easily add 3 nodes and have a 60% attack.
