Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[Last of the V8s]

There are always plenty of miners. Hashrate goes ever up. The worries about mining death spiral are just that - worries, and they never turn out real.

This is definitely not looking good, and as I hear the European Football Championship this summer is in big question, there is a possibility of postponement for the next year.

Cuomos the same guy who banned plastic bags.....well plastic bags would be a HECK OF A LOT better than reusable bags right now.

The more miners we lose, the better. Supply and demand takes over 100% and we see a dramatic rise in price.

Um. no. If miners quit the difficulty adjusts downward and the supply stays exactly the same: 12.5 bitcoins (or 6.25) every 10 minutes.

The security of the network goes down but at this point it would go from "Even God can't reverse a transaction over 1 confirmation" to "wait two confirmations if you believe in God that much"

You know...the plastic bag ban is only against the grocery stores...

You can bring your own.

I already corrected myself.

Not sure why he's so pro-plastic bag: If the $5 an hour flunkie who has no paid sick time sneezes on his stack of bags then everyone is going to die! Much better to bring your own and limit the spread.

Maybe he thinks you can put the bag over your head and kill yourself. That could limit the spread of the virus.

No worries. In the UK they are asking 24 people to contract the covid-19 virus voluntarily while being paid for the two weeks during the trial period in trying to find a cure to it.

What if they paid this $4500usd out in BTC would you consider it?

Fuck no. Thats like asking if you would jump out of a plane with a 1/50 chance your parachute won't open. Sure, its a good gamble but not for middle class worker's monthly salary. WTF

@holland guys, all big events cancelled and schools closing in Brabant.... my friend says news keeps coming in

Situation escalating by the day, i expect more to come it's inevitable.

Living near Amsterdam which has not been effected to much...yet.

with a 2 week no one knows formula. Footfall is what counts. All touristy places = probably fucked by logistics

why dont they just find the people who already have it? Would be much cheaper 

In a enclosed setting where they have control of it at all times since they dont have a cure if it does get out and infects those in the building including the doctors.
If they just asked those who already have it then it would be like the corona hotel where everyone who enters gets it.

Also to goldkingcoiner, yeah your right. Not worth the risk for the middleclass monthly salary.
But there are those who are willing to sell their kidneys for about the same amount (blackmarket prices typically are $5000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_trade). But you can live with the spare you got just have to give up drinking AlCoHOL.

If they round it up to $450,000 it still won't cover fixing the permanent damage to internal organs and immune system. I'm not talking about whatever drug they want to test, just the drugs your own body generates when it switches to survival-mode.

@rdbase
My Dad had a kidney removed a few years ago & I think my Nan (his Mother) had issues with hers too.

I definitely can’t sell one of mine, I’m going to need them for later in life

I told my 23 year old brother if Dad needs a kidney transplant it’s much better if it’s a 23 year old one rather than one from my older alcohol & drug abused body
