What's up with all these bugs?

Bitcoin reenacts golden cross which last sparked 170% gains in just 2 month
Rally to 26K by Halving

I doubt that will happen but I will send beer money in bitcoin to every single WO hat wearer if we hit an ATH before the halving.

The general problem with people is that they expect some things to happen before they have a realistic chance of happening. Expecting a new ATH before halving can be the result of impatience, greed or simply a lack of general knowledge of how things work.

Brohim, you are like machines. First of all there's L_duderinoo with his world-renown guessing games, then LFC is always buying people drinks in price-level games, and you my dear Icygreen sir, always winning: the 2 games you mentioned, but also some Hairy-made location guessing game from the Nam. I do love it when people win things.

The only people who seem to be dying from the Corona virus are the weak and barely alive, anyway.
Two Germans were tested positive for Corona at the start of the month, they were released symptom free and went back to wörk.

I am more worried about the kitten sized locusts.

I'm going to correct this because it may save some people from having a bad life.

The latest numbers are saying that NO age groups, sex or ethnicity are preferentially 'saved' except under 14yo rarely have serious symptoms. ALL other age groups are almost equally badly affected, with a slight bias towards 45-60 yo age group.

Yes, weaker and pre-existing condition patients have more fatal outcomes, as with any new disease.

15-20% of those infected develop serious symptoms. From that group, the 'lucky' ones that survive are seriously messed up, with severe damage, scarring to lungs, weakened hearts, kidneys, immune systems and testicular damage in males. Of the 15-20% developing serious symptoms approx. 25% perish (this number changes depending on level of care, access to ICU bed, forced oxygen ventilators (iron lungs), etc). Some of these may be shedding virus for weeks after recovering, some SARS patients were still shedding after 90 days.

80-85% do not develop serious symptoms but still shed the virus in various media, mucus, snot, fecal matter, blood and tears, perhaps even airborne particulates. They can incubate from 2-15 days and shed asymptomatically.

This is some serious shit and governments are likely not fully informing their citizens of the full extent of the pandemic in fear of spreading panic. If it gains a foothold, it is almost like this virus was designed to maximise the strain, and ultimately collapse, a modern healthcare system, with a massive peak and on-going care for years, perhaps decades.

My reading of that paper is that the older the patient the more likely they are to die, but it otherwise tallies with what you say.
There's a blog post coming out saying not least that the 'state vs freedom' implications of this virus will outweigh those of 9/11 in the long run.
I keep thinking we'll know for certain in ~a month whether it's gonna ruin the cricket season.
Whoever made the point about cancelling the Olympics being a nightmare for governments that want to keep it all quiet is also probably right.

My goodness, well that throws a bit of a pall over the whole affair.
Best go don my gas mask and build a bunker.

You missed Theymos art contest, haha.  Still yet to fetch a duderino winning although we've exchanged gifts by mail which feels like a win and part of the collection.
I mark the coins on a Trezor, collection like, which I hope to look back in 10 years and post the stories and signed keys here. Hopefully worth ridiculous amounts.

"Some Bitcoin promoters are deliberately misrepresenting my concession that anyone who bought Bitcoin 10 years ago and sells now will make money as an endorsement of buying #Bitcoin today. It is not. Those who buy today and sell 10 years from now will likely do so at a loss."

LOL, I wonder what he will say as the years go by and he gets proven wrong over and over, just like for the last 6 or 7.

ETH DeFi platform BZX was hacked again, this time $645k lost.

when Vegeta?

[nutildah]

Well Roger has totally gone off the deep end now. His coin is in shambles, threat of another split so what does he do? Throw shit on Greg Maxwell to distract from the fact his house is burning all around him 

https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/f5ly5s/ama_request_for_greg_maxwell_about_the_time_he/

Pretty weak. Rog has no class.

"I heard it was true, and am skeptical of Greg’s denial, but will take his word for it unless I hear differently from another source."

when Vegeta?

no, please no! let's just move on and forget about $9000.

[Gyrsur]

when Vegeta?

no, please no! let's just move on and forget about $9000.

haha, but I found a new Vegeta guy. does he fit? 

[Gyrsur]

my theory is this: until halving in May 2020 volume on marketplaces will decline because miners and others will hold back their BTC and plan to sell it after halving. they are speculating the price will increase after halving.

so low volume is not good for markets because then markets are easier to manipulate by big fishes.

any thoughts on this?

I'm also a bit oldfashioned but you might have missed that metrosexual is not a thing anymore, in fact since about ten years or so.  
Has a bit of 80s touch to it, which could be cool somehow nowadays again, but... NO  

EDIT: Better "weg geht er" (the guy in the pic) instead of "vegeta" LOL

Jesus, you're right, it was ten years ago! Time fucking flies.

I remember in 2010 being disappointed that we hadn't found any monoliths yet, and we still haven't found a single one.


ITS OVER 9600!!!

I would have thought if miners were not selling, the price would go up. Its definitely not doing that.

Yes but what whale in his right mind will sell big q-ties before the halving? You need to be an epic retard to do it. The price will also inevitably go down AFTER the halving so why someone would just swim against the tide additionally risking being rekt?

Why inevitably to go down after the halving, please do explain
