I'm not a specialist in discussing US politics, but someone from the US please correct me if I'm getting it wrong:
Will the spreading of the coronavirus in the US benefit Sanders against Biden? Sanders is (arguably) the politician from whom I've heard about healthcare improvement the most; IMO, the failure of the healthcare system in the USA at this point will give the old man some extra advantage in his campaign.
Maybe. Bernie thinks all it takes for unlimited resources to materialize is for gubmint to decree it to be so. In his mind, costs and production do not exist. I think the majority of Americans understand that resources are not magic fairy dust that can be conjured out of nothing. At least I hope so. He will no doubt promise a free healthcare system exactly the same as the private one. However, if he wins he will probably have to provide something like the British national health service.

I don't think so. Americans are funny that way. We generally don't want the government telling us we have to do anything and we don't want them involved in our personal business. The younger people may have a different view on this but their numbers are just too small to matter in a national election. When you see statistics and polls showing differently, you have to understand, most hard working American's aren't going to speak to some asshole calling you after dinner to answer stupid survey questions. This is how Trump won in surprise fashion. The pissed off people will show up and vote but aren't going to speak to polsters about it. Government controlled healthcare is not a reasonable solution. You would lose all the innovation America creates and the whole world benefits from. They could regulate insurance companies and healthcare providers though to eliminate some of the most heinous activities (such as drug and ER pricing) but taking over would set the world back decades in my opinion.

WB JJG You fuck!!!!! #nohomoJJG was gone for roughly one week, and the total WO post count parity, dipped noticeably. Focus, nobody bought this dip. Should he ever leave for a month or more, we are dealing with a 80% correction, to complete annihilation and lock down of the thread, on the yearly milestone.
Probably need to petition some kind of special waiver from theymos.. in case theymos is feeling trigger happy and inclined to deep 6 the thread based on per day post count...? or maybe if someone were to program chartbuddy II, then theymos would not notice the slippage? next time youre away have some "best of JJG" reposts ready at a keystroke to fill in. uhhh no, nevermind, bad idea. really. its OK. That's one of the dumbest ideas that I ever heard. Therefore, I sent you an smerit for sharing such hilariousness.

Volume. People trying to sell high and buy low, and people being tricked into the reverse. Don't fall for it, ride along. That is what I have been thinking, too, recently. Let the price come to you. Don't be fucking around attempting to make profits on short term moves, unless you have a system that allows the price to come to you.. and if you set yourself up in such a way, then you should give less than two shits if the price does not come to you in one direction because it will likely come to you in the other direction.

Hashrate continuously hitting new all time highs. Third halving two months out and major BIP’s looking to be implemented.
versus
Plustokenscam bitcoins being consistently dumped through malicious exchanges. Continued uncertainty regarding the release of the MtGox coins. Downwards pressure on the stock market because of Covid-19 and drooling mass media for viewing figures.
The ride will remain bumpy for a considerable time. And if you only look at the bumps it is hard to remain seated. Looking beyond all that I could not be more bullish though. Just practice some patience (years!) and start looking at the horizon, it is beautiful!

Bernie is already toast. He got rejected in major primaries on Super Tuesday and has little more chance to win in the betting markets than Hillary Clinton, which is to say he is a big long shot now and his front runner status was destroyed. Most legal American occupants understand that capitalism made America rich and rich countries do better in emergency situations than poor ones. When the going could hypothetically get tough bc of some unkown like Covbull-19 people arent looking to switch to an economic system that makes you poorer in aggregate just to make a few deadbeats happy that they will get free shit off the backs of working people. Id say CovBull-19 helped Biden do so well on Super Tuesday, people started giving more thought to the implications of converting to a Cuba or Venezuela type of economy and how we would fare in bad situations with a guy bent on stifling innovation and prosperity. Bernie doesnt like private property or capital. Bitcoin is the ultimate form of private property. Bernie and his communist idealogues in the White House would have been very hostile to Bitcoin for 4 years. Covbull-19 was very fatal to Bernie's chances and it put money printers into maximum overdrive on their printing presses. Its as bullish as a flu bug can be.

Bernie is by far the best candidate for bitcoin. Even though he is documented as being anti-fed, a higher debt would lead to more money printing, which means a weakening of the dollar and a strengthening of bitcoin. Not to mention he also wants to deliver free high-speed internet across the country which would allow more people to use bitcoin than are currently able. As an establishment hack, Biden will protect the dollar and poo-poo bitcoin in a similar fashion as Trump. You have to decide what you value more: a non-socialist president or a pro-bitcoin political/economic environment.

My nick was not created in 2015, 2015 was that horizon but it still took 3 years to get back to $1K. And look where we are now.

Ok I can’t get lawn beetle killer. It’s sold out and no new stock. Pretty sure it’s not a substitute for toilet paper. We need to keep an eye on the availability of agricultural chemicals as this can have food security impacts. Nutrien, the dominant player in Australian farm supply and services, said the active ingredients in a range of herbicides, pesticides and fungicides were available only from China.
It predicted worldwide shortages of important farm chemicals within six to nine months if there was an extended breakdown in Chinese manufacturing.

Sugar babe is gone. Tι να τoν κανεις τo χρυσo, τo χρημα, τα πετραδια,
oταν παντερμη ειν' η ζωη, και πανω απ' oλα αδεια.
Cretan version haiku (μαντιναδα). Greeks excluded, this needs to be fun - 3 merits to whom ever finds the closest translation in English. ... and hey, I already tried Google. OK, either it was too difficult, or the reward was too poor - or both. Nevertheless, I did think the WO would deliver. Anyway, the meaning is this: What to do with (your) gold, with money, (or) with gems,
when life is lonely, and above all empty.My bet was, that the word "lonely" would not be achieved, as it's local dialect. That said, someone Greek could/can make sense of it most likely.

As an establishment hack, Biden will protect the dollar and poo-poo bitcoin in a similar fashion as Trump. You have to decide what you value more: a non-socialist president or a pro-bitcoin political/economic environment. Bernie would have put far left types in powerful positions. It matters less what Bernie thinks about Bitcoin and the Fed, vs what kind of people Bernie would appoint to hundreds of powerful positions. These would be people who leaned very far left, and once you go far enough left you start wanting to abolish private property and put the gov in control of everything, especially money. Bitcoin won big when Bernie got trashed. Yes its speculation, but I have no reason to believe Bernie wouldnt put communist/far left idealogues in power at places like the Treasury, the Fed, the Supreme Court, the FBI, the SEC, the Justice Department, etc, and these people would be very hostile to private money like Bitcoin. Do you think its a coincidence that 2 out of 4 of the communist party ran govs are hostile to Bitcoin to the point of banning exchanges, banning it for use of payments, and not letting their Banks touch it? Bernie could ban Bitcoin in a heartbeat with an executive order. Trump might talk bad about it but he would never be foolish enough to piss off that many voters. Bernie is such a rigid idealogue I doubt he would give two shits about what people thought. Biden is a centrist and for Bitcoin in America thats pretty damn good bc centrists will tolerate it. Covbull-19 saved our asses by taking down Bernie.
