 where I said once I saw the Diamond Princess stats on infections and deaths I ceased to worry bc this is just a bit more lethal than a nasty flu. During the Wuhan shitshow, nobody knew exactly what was going on and the possibility of it being really bad was a real thing. Now, its all just hype and panic over very little.

I did notice your posts bouncing all over the place.

hahahahaha

Lambie bambie, the wannabe WO thread sorcerer, makes sure that s/he/it covers  "all bases."  That way, in the future, s/he/it can proclaim that s/he/it had been prescient.

  Im still upset I had to leave for a few weeks after Slayer called me out and defeated my text walls.

He really gets to me so I always stalk his posts praying I can find something clever to say.

I havent been with a woman in many years so I struggle with what pronouns to use for other people, but obviously Slayer is more of a man than I ever was.

Thanks for the compliment GayJG.  You aren't wrong;)

Oh, and can we finally put to bed the whole idea of BTC as a safe haven - whilst global stock markets face their worst day since the 2008 financial crisis, BTC tanks even more.  If BTC really was a safe haven, it would be mooning now. Gold still seems to be the haven of choice.

BTC is a safe haven. It is just people are too dumb to understand that.

They will only understand it when they can't use banks anymore.

Let's have this talk again when banks collapse and don't allow people to access their accounts. Remember Greece? Cyprus?

Yes it absolutely is a safe haven. Just like gold, its up since Coronavirus became global news, while stocks are down.

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.

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?

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

I think what they are testing is a vaccine. In this case, the subject's immune system must be exposed to the vaccine before being infected with the live virus.

Trump dropped a big cryptic hint about an unstoppable surprise coming. This was tweeted right after the dow futures opened and tanked.

Most likely he is on the phone with the Plunge Protection Team and the Fed and there is some massive money printing on the way.

Anyone who thinks Trump isnt going to attack these market sell offs with everything at his disposal is underestimating his ego and desire to be elected again.

62 days to the Halvening and all fundamentals are well and bullish.  

Trump may still have the trader mentality and he sees this huge dip as a buying opportunity.

He also believes there needs to be money pumped into the economy to get things on track...

So...print money and buy cheap stock...he likely believes the virus is all hype so he believes the markets will bounce back (especially after pouring a bunch of printed money into the economy).

Result...billions in gains for the US government. Game over for Democrats.

In his mind at least.

Reality...he is trying to fight a bubble that popped.

Probably so and Bitcoin benefits either way with all the money he will print trying to achieve his goals.

Sure, but what's he got? I mean he can send the army in to demand that people consume and travel and PRODUCE at the barrel of a gun. He can have traders who sell stocks executed, he can declare it to be treason to say anything but good things about the economy.

Maybe pass the "Stand still" law where no one is allowed to quit their jobs, everyone must consume and produce at 2019 levels, and companies can fire people who then become surplus goods to be "managed". That could work. Sort of.....

(Why yes, I'm re-reading Atlas Shrugged. Man this book is the perfect combination of shit porn, endless speeches, drivel, and interesting concepts.)

I haven't thought too much as to whether he will succeed. I just like all the money printing he is promoting while he tries.

Bitcoin is either a delusional idea that sucks people into it's bubble and have you smell each others farts OR it's everything we think it is and it will be the lifeline for humanity moving forward and our first step away from our primal monkey brain.

Was this drop not to be expected? Blood in the streets, means buy the fucking dip. Double down or go home.

Outside this forum nobody dares to touch Bitcoin. Because to them everything is going to hell, the stock market crashes, events getting cancelled, holidays being cancelled, people dying etc etc.

I personally think there is going to be a switch where Bitcoin stops declining and the stock market does not. If such a thing would happen it would be the greatest investment opportunity for anybody outside crypto.

Bernie could do this with Bitcoin. Do I think he would, idk, but Im sure Trump or Biden wouldn't. True it wouldnt censor Bitcoin, but an executive order banning Bitcoin ownership would put me out of the hodl game.

Its the extreme leftists Bernie would appoint to power that I would worry about most. A Bernie Fed ran by a communist bartender chick could easily ban Bitcoin.

Luckily Bernie isnt a threat to win anymore.

I am not up on US politics as much as you seem to be, but why do you think Bernie Sanders would ban Bitcoin?  I mean, I thought it was impossible to 'ban' Bitcoin, isn't that the point?

Also, forgive me for asking but how can you be 'sure' Trump won't try it (if as you seem to say it is possible to do so):

Coronavirus is bullish for the King.

Obviously not..

You guys still think china virus is bullish?

What happened? Why are we following the DOW instead of the inverse?

Is Bitcoin just a luxury?

We aren't following the Dow, we are up since Coronavirus became global news on Dec. 31, the Dow is down in the same time frame. That's inverse.

Coronavirus is causing money printers to go into overdrive. Thats always bullish for King Bitcoin.

Define real women.

Here is a basic algorithm for picking the right woman

Code:

def woman():
    x = int(input("How big her ass is? (1-10)"))
    y = int(input("How big her tits are? (1-10)"))
    z = int(input("What is her age? (1-100)"))
    t = input("Does she laugh when you make stupid jokes? (yes-no)")

    p = x*y

    if z<30 and z>20 and p>50 and t=="yes":
        print("That's the woman you want to marry yo!")
    else:
        print("Skip to the next candidate.")

woman()

I would quibble with that formula. Quite frankly, if a woman can not give you at least 3-5 kids then she is not good enough. 29 is way, way too old.

You don't want to have more than 2 kids especially when everybody and everything is super stupid in the last 10-15 years.

I wouldn't want my child to watch retarded youtubers on youtube for example. I grow up by watching pokémon and that was the most awesome shit I have ever witnessed.

Even 2 kids is too much tbh. It is either 1 or none. My logic says none but biology says at least one.

So 29 is OK to me.

2 is not enough. It takes more than that just for the species to survive. And the older she is the dumber and sicker the kid will be.

Agree with you here Ibian. Thats why Leo replaces his woman every few years with a younger one.  So if the day comes where he decides he is ready to propagate the species he will have a most suitable partner. He is basically a prepper at heart.

Lol did not know you were into the horses. Is there in fact a single vice that you do not partake in?
Anyway they got to keep the economy going.

I did notice your posts bouncing all over the place.

I too had nocoiner friends who had zero worry at first when the truth was it could have been super deadly for the whole world. Then real stats and numbers came out proving its not that big of a deal, but of course nocoiners were in hysteria by then and still are.

So basically the nocoiners around you were foolish early on not to have some healthy concern for what might have been a super deadly new disease based on the little we knew, and they would be foolish now if they believe the hype that this is currently a super deadly disease sweeping the land.

So for not over reacting on spotty and unreliable information they were foolish?

Meh, I hang mostly with Men who do not shiver in fear of what we cannot control. Well let me rephrase that, I only listen to them, the rest pretty much sounds like background noise to me. I have a tendency to filter out fools very quickly. I actually was brought to the doctor because my mother thought I was going deaf and it turned out I was just ignoring her while she was yelling in my ear and I didn't even notice.

Your mom yells at you to the point where you tune her out and get dragged to the doctor, yet you hang out with men?

A likely story.

Also, forgive me for asking but how can you be 'sure' Trump won't try it (if as you seem to say it is possible to do so):

I live in the U.S., if Bernie hadn't got trounced by Biden and him or one of his extreme leftist appointees had banned Bitcoin ownership in the U.S. then I would have sold mine.

I used the phrase "Ban Bitcoin," but if you would like me to be more precise, he could ban me from owning Bitcoin and I would comply as a personal preference.

Its not that I think Bernie would def ban Bitcoin ownership in the U.S., its that he is a far leftist based on the strict Bitcoin prohibitions of using Bitcoin as a means of payment that 2 out of the 4 communist governments have put on their citizens, I would expect a white house full of far leftists to be much more hostile to Bitcoin than Trump or a centrist like Biden.

Extreme leftists don't like personal financial sovereignty, they don't like capitalism, they don't like private wealth/property. Its natural that they would be hostile to Bitcoin, the ultimate private property.

As for why Trump wouldnt try it, well he is one of the few politicians I have ever seen who worries about what his supporters say on twitter. A ton of his supporters lean libertarian and are Bitcoiners. I witnessed the outcry on his twitter from Trump supporters saying they loved him but he was wrong about Bitcoin and to go easy on it. Trump would not imo alienate a large swath of his supporters so he is a much safer bet to me on Bitcoin than Bernie. Trump also does love the concepts of private property and capitalism.

2 is not enough. It takes more than that just for the species to survive. And the older she is the dumber and sicker the kid will be.

You aren't accounting for increases in life expectancy, or the fact that rejuvenation is slowly being treated very seriously.

That does nothing to change the fact that we require more than 2 kids on average to survive.

Trump supposedly about to deliver his Bailout plans to the world shortly. Rumor is cutting payroll taxes to zero among other goodies. Bullish bc the American worker would have more money to stack satoshis.

Possibly lots of money printing to be proposed as well.  

Does anyone think that if Bitcoin was invented before the 2009 financial crisis that all the money printed to bail out Wall Steet and Banks would have been insanely bullish for Bitcoin? I know I do.
