[snippage ensues]
I still own a pair of (working) Compaq 'sewing machine' 8088-based PC clones. DOS on floppy, store to floppy. Woo-hoo!

I keep an 8 inch floppy disk at my desk, beside my 5 pound IBM Model M keyboard. Winderrs keys are for losers! The Model M is a daily driver, the 8 inch floppy is just a momento.

Soon it will be possible to send to the museum

So my stock portfolio is going down. Most of it I can't do anything about it (company stock, must keep 5 years before selling, free stock as a compensation).

But my BTC portfolio is also going down !

Not that bad (for either) but still, I would have expected an inverse correlation, or at least BTC hodling better.

Gold is going up in the meantime, I know someone is gloating...

Since Dec. 31 when the Coronavirus became global disaster news, Bitcoin is up big, gold is up a decent amount and stocks are down.

King Bitcoin is gloating, as it is the best Safe Haven so far during the Coronavirus crisis.

Safe Havens dont go up every single day, they outperform other assets in a crisis, just like Bitcoin has done.

With how things are accelerating with the virus, do you think it could be "over" in a way quicker than first thought, basically things going back to this being a "bad flu year" but no more going crazy with quarantines, closing plants, closing schools, stopping tournaments, things that are proving ineffective anyway, aside from hurting the economy ?

It helps to think in 5 year bricks.

No. There is no stopping this thing. Until we have a working, reliable, cheap cure, we are dealing with the Big One.

Coronavirus update:

Italy and Iran looking scary..

Iran looking scary to me: higher than 10% mortality rate.
Either the virus has mutated in Iran, and now it is more deadly than ever or Iranian authorities are downmarking infected numbers.
Scary on both ways

They will have less protests and more control over their people. You just need to close entire cities and areas.

Anyone here from the northern Italy? Or China? South Korea? Or Japan, Singapor? I know all of them have the new technology which is called 5 G. Can this really help to prevent virus. That's what they say that it can help to combat the virus.

Not sure what you're smoking/snorting but I am very interested. It doesn't mess you up, since you typed the message clearly, but it does produce a very imaginative high. Where can I get it?

I don't believe. I just asked is it true. Based on the media which says that 5 g is helping them to reduce the damage.

I'm not sure what are you saying. You're interested about my question. It's based on the news which says 5 g can help.
