something was very, very wrong with the world.
It is "we" that is very wrong with the world. We are just like viruses to this planet. Eating away our host till its dead. We reproduce just like a virus. We consume everything till there is nothing left. Our time is coming to an end just like Dinosaurs. The new age belongs to AI and Bitcoin and... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FSyu6cNd.jpg&t=665&c=3nulsjkFBgmz6w) Coronavirus, Covid19.

I'm sometimes really starting to dislike human behavior overall ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) There are a huge variety of humans, from smart, nice and common sense ones to blatant idiots. You know that. Don't let the scourges affect your overall feelings, you are better than that. Naaah I know many are the better ones, but 1 idiot fool on a 100 is already much... But my overall feeling are quiet Ok, I just hate reading the worst of them.... Daily proportion of reading are filled with them negative ones, of-course then again that the news and where the most reading is based up on. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Wrong way to look at it. If you swim in a sea of fools, you have to enlighten youself that there are some islands populated with nice, intelligent people. This should be your reference, or you might drown in masses of idiots. Don't get frustrated by the things you can't change. Change your view/approach ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) EDIT: I had to combat this too. Once you don't belong to the idiots any more, you start to recognize how many they are. The problem is that one idiot can ruin life for hundreds or thousands of people. And they outnumber us. Vastly. Returning once again to our wonderful mouse utopia, modern research has been done on them. As we remember, the population first increases rapidly, then a bit slower before eventually leveling out. And then reversing until every single mices was dead. Turns out that what happens is that at a certain population density, some of the mice get sick. 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.

Mankind made a big mistake when inventing "money". We can't turn it back, the experiment failed. The hippie idea wasn't that bad, but they fucked it up, for various reasons. We have to go with what is left, or go away, i agree.

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-agreesblah blah blah.. no excuses. BTC was designed to shine in a moment like this. And we are failing. As a HODLer i'll keep my faith, while singing... I'm taking a ride With my best friend I hope he never lets me down again go Honey Badger, go!!

It don't matter what it was designed to do. What matters is how it's treated and perceived by its present owners. Most of them treat as the frilliest end of their betting slip.

It was designed to be a peer-to-peer version of electronic cash, not a "store of value" or something people buy and hope goes up in value so they can sell it at a higher price. The only thing we know for sure is that if bitcoin loses value, it won't be due to its own inflation.

Leaving this here for reference sake... everything is fine, on schedule for the halving whether this is the bottom, or we go a little lower... Source: https://twitter.com/ChartsBtc/status/1237480799445733376My outlook is that this pre-3rd halving price action looks more like the 2nd halving than the first, but make of it what you will.

BTC is designed so shine against inflation and non-functioning banking system tbh. It is not a hedge against pandemics. Negative rates, QE, banks going down; bitcoin goes up. Every other negative scenario takes bitcoin down too

No. It's possible to both observe the price of BTC and recognize what Satoshi intended it for. I mean I have a position open right now and I definitely want it to go up in price too, but I'm just saying, it wasn't designed to do well in times of panic. I'm not sold on the whole "safe haven" asset thing yet either. So far this year, it receives a failing grade in that regard. We have yet to fully witness how BTC does in a bear stock market / recession / depression. Edit: I am upgrading the "failing grade" to a C, after examining it compared to the SPY. The standard for safe haven investments remains the dollar.

The only thing we know for sure is that if bitcoin loses value, it won't be due to its own inflation. It was specifically meant to go way up in price. Otherwise it would never have gotten off the ground. Let's not pretend that we are not here mostly for the sake of making money.
