You: I don’t like the idea that I’m not in control of my life.
Satoshi: I know exactly what you mean! ...Let me tell you why you’re here - you're here because you know something. What you know, you can’t explain - but you feel it. You felt it your entire life. There’s something’s wrong with the world. You don’t know what, but it’s there. Like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. ...Do you know what I’m talking about?
You: That gigantic systematic redistribution at the expense of self-determined life?
Satoshi: I'm done!
Reminds me of my first post here from Nov 2013: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=343475.msg3680065#msg3680065

My mother lives in Rio, ask her husband how the situation is there with Corona spreading...
"Touch wood, normal. Few cases coming from Italy and Spain. Carnaval passed ok, more than 2 weeks, no spread out too much. I think ,pretty sure , hot weather is helping the situation. No instructions."

Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz has attempted to explain what exactly happened to Bitcoin's safe haven status. In his new tweet, he writes that investors tend to 'take leverage down' and book profits during such black swan events. via Imgflip Meme GeneratorNot a hedge asset From the U.S. stock market suffering from its quickest correction since the Great Depression to oil prices plummeting 16 percent — this week will surely go down in history. When global markets got gripped by a ruthless sell-off, Bitcoin failed to serve as a store of value, which many believe should be its main use case. In fact, BTC performed worse than any traditional asset, shedding 15 percent of its value in less than a week. At press time, it is just trading just below its key support level of $8,500. Bonds, not BitcoinWhile gold bugs were quick to dismiss Bitcoin's as a hedge against economic uncertainty, Novogtatz's claim about investors booking profit definitely holds water. One of the biggest surprises of this tumultuous week was the gold price recording a five percent drop on Friday. The yellow metal is considered to be the most robust store of value. Just like during the 2008 crisis, investors started liquidating both stocks and gold for covering their margin calls. Bonds and cash turned out to be the real safe haven. https://u.today/mike-novogratz-explains-why-bitcoin-btc-is-failing-as-safe-havenDuring his recent interview with TD Ameritrade Network, Ari Paul, the CTO of BlockTowerCapital, agreed with Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz that more money printing initiated by central banks around the globe could be the most bullish case for Bitcoin (BTC). Is #bitcoin’s store of value use-case broken after its big break from bonds and gold? $btc@AriDavidPaul weighs in: However, he predicts that Bitcoin could mirror gold in 2008 with a delayed reaction to the looming economic crash. More aggressive rate cuts As reported by U.Today, the U.S. Federal Reserve did a 50 bps emergency rate cut on March 3 to cushion the devastating blow from the coronavirus pandemic. However, it provided only a temporal relief for the equities market that had its worst day since the previous recession on March 9. Now that President Donald Trump calls the Fed 'pathetic' and pressures it to cut rates in a more aggressive manner, things could get really bullish for Bitcoin as Novogratz predicted earlier. "I totally agree with Novogratz that the strongest bull case for Bitcoin is what we are seeing right now, which is the entire U.S. Treasury curve below one percent," Paul said. https://u.today/mike-novogratz-thinks-its-strongest-bull-case-for-bitcoin-btc-ari-paul-agrees

As big as that is, it's still just a symptom. I remember the moment where I knew, with terrible certainty, that something was very, very wrong with the world. It took many years before I understood it, much less was able to attempt to explain it. But it's there. It's a very, very real thing.

As big as that is, it's still just a symptom. I remember the moment where I knew, with terrible certainty, that something was very, very wrong with the world. It took many years before I understood it, much less was able to attempt to explain it. But it's there. It's a very, very real thing. It's within the brain. If we don't use it consciously, it starts to produce random output (like constantly background-dreaming), but our minds are not yet developed so far that we can recognize this as virtual, so we consider it as real. Our minds are constantly talking to us, and most of the time it's pretty dumb/bad shit. It's pre-warming for what it's needed, but if we distract ourselves by media, entertainment and so on, we don't use it. So it starts using us....

Their primary sense is smell, and these sick mice make the others around them sick because their piss smells different. This triggers something in healthy mice that then make them sick, who go on to make even more healthy mice sick until they are all, to a tail, dysgenic specimens. People like our spit-smearer is the human version of a sick mouse. If we simply allow them to go free, they will make the people around them sick. And so on. We need to cleanse these people from the population. But we won't. And so a collapse is inevitable.
