Keep calm and where's your hat?

Sorry about this issue, I just didn't wear my hat for a while because I was in a trial signature campaign, I will bring it as soon as this campaign ends, it will take about 4 weeks (this is first week). Sorry if I let you down 

 I was just trying to be funny.  I fully understand why people would rather make money Bitcoin than wear a silly hat.

This whole PlusToken affair stinks to high heaven for me. I'm thinking clandestine CCP operation or similar.

Who else can get away with a $3billion crypto-Ponzi scheme in the first place? Then suspiciously (stupidly) dump the 13,000 bitcoin on the market at the lows for the cycle? IFF the perpetrators are clever enough to remain hidden from authorities they wont be stupid enough to dump on Bitfinex liquidating to fiat in one go at market rates. They would have sold off over time into the highs. IFF they are clandestine CCP operatives protected from prosecution they can run a Ponzi scheme and dump for maximal disruption of bitcoin pricing.

Where we going at  

I dunno, brother. All I know is Rick wants to go out for TexMex tonight with a friend that is in town. I don't feel like driving downtown in my baby, parking at his office, and having the chance of our Uber driver being all coughing and sneezing.

Probably just drive ourselves to the restaurant, and ditch the Uber; end up in a restaurant filled with coughing people eating tacos with hot-sauce, sneezing pico de gallo everywhere.

Sheeit.

I picked a bad time to have anxiety/depression.

"State of Emergency" declared in Dallas County, Gov. Abbott declares "State of Disaster" for Texas, and Rick wants fucking TexMex.

Just...

 The declaration of an emergency is merely an administrative exercise in order to open the purse strings on emergency funding, remove many restrictions on procurement rules and to give the state greater powers to create new temporary legislation to deal with the emergency.  Go out for dinner and enjoy it!  You might have the restaurant to yourselves

[Hyperjacked]

if your last post was true, losing several millions in this turmoil, why make your partner work at all?

6-8 mil just ain't that much money man, you still work

Money is relative... I've worked with some very wealthy ppl that think they are poor and stressed about the future and I've seen the opposite.
Personally I can live in the mountains off the grid on next to nothing! An old timer I know very well lives off the land For a few hundred dollars a month.

Or if you are well funded already, you could go short Bitcoin big time and burn and never claim the stolen BTC just to make the market tank and just profit from those shorts 80x.

I felt so dirty when I had to, feel so relieved now!

Guys I have been telling you since weeks, but I will reiterate again.

I will use Italian numbers, adjust downwards by the percentage you think it is correct because Italian population is old, Italians are not good at hospital or whatever reason you think it is correct, but the final reasoning do not change much:


As of today:

Code:

TOTAL INFECTED  17660  
DEATHS          1266   7.17%
RECOVERED       1439   
TOTAL POSITIVE  14955  
HOSPITALISED    7426   50%
ICU             1328   9%
RECOVERED       1439   

Here's the estimated worldwide numbers for the regular flu virus from October to today:

No. Percentages. How do they compare?

Goddamn idiot flubros.

Just trying to raise awareness.

This shit is serious. I didn't care about it much tbh till yesterday. Now the more I read about it makes me even more sicker than selling the bottom.

No you are not.

You are just having a really bad day.
Your judgement is off by orders of magnitude.

Oh, and grow a set, will ya?

I'll go away if that's going to make you feel better.

But before... I'll leave this here.

Coronavirus deaths in Italy rise to 1,266 - up 250 in a day

 what we just witnessed never happened before in the history of crypto If I am not wrong.

lolwut?

I was talking about recession, pandemic, global market crash combined. Did it happen before? Did I miss it? Don't think so.

Good night, I am off.

Does this look like someone fighting a virus?

 I fail to see how a 19 round Beretta submachine gun can be used to stop a virus.  Seems like under kill.  What they really need are mega cans of Lysol or similar disinfectant.

But if I take my fiat and convert it to cash, I can use it as toilet paper. You can't do that with BTC.

Some day I will buy a baseball bat and start punching everyone that repeats that same old shit about one BTC being still one BTC.

C'on, Bitcoin dumped, it fucking sucks... just accept it like a man and don't invent silly excuses that mean fucking nothing!

Look how the same idiots start going full party when Bitcoin moons... wasn't it already 1BTC = 1BTC? C'on....

I "lost" a shitton of paper profits. There's no need to sugarcoat it. All this will pass when Bitcoin really moons.

Great name for a website for conspiracy theory drivel.

It teaches us that:  'Fake medical epidemics are unleashed by the powers that be...'

OK, the coverage might be over the top, the lethality is not known, sure...OK, jury's out - but to call this 'fake' and a false flag operation?

I didn't know there was such a thing as a pandemic-denier conspiracy theorist. I guess I just learned there is a new sort of paranoia to add to the sheer noise of nonsense to fill up Twitter with.  And calling it 'Chinese Coronavirus' is straight off Fox 'news'.  Or, as I think of it 'Be a doublethink drone' TV. 

But you may still be able to save yourself, if you stop and think.

Yes, the media may be overreacting (loving it even) but it is er... based on a real thing, sorry. You are just helping the people that write this shit to earn their crust with the clicks they generate by you disseminating it.  You are their product.

Go ahead, it's your right. Only this is unsubstantiated crap. I am afraid it is: Factually. Plain. Wrong.

let's differentiate into ppl which are invested with money they are able to lose and other ppl which are invested with money they need. the first group have the possibility to say 1 BTC is still 1 BTC after such a week and the others don't unfortunately.

Fair enough, I suppose in that sense it is true

to be clear, a drop like yesterday, while certainly dramatic, is nothing at all new for the OGs, go back and zoom in on some of the action after the $32 bubble

this what bitcoin do yo

[marcus_of_augustus]

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/market-broken-why-nobody-trading-any-more

The US-Treasury market is freezing up, even with a $1.5 trillion liquidity gusher from the Fed. CONfidence and trust that the fiat game is founded upon is evaporating.

I don't see any Bitcoin markets freezing up. And they run 24/7. The TRUSTLESS bitcoin network chugs along settling trades trustlessly just fine in times of absolute pandemonium.

In the not too distant future bitcoin may be the ONE OF THE FEW ways to securely transfer/settle funds around the globe.

Let that sink in a little.

It doesn't change the fact that saying 1BTC = 1BTC is still an obvious and completely empty statement. More so when they introduce it in the middle of a talk about actual price vs $. And repeating it every time Bitcoin dumps (surprisingly they don't say the same when it pumps) makes us look like fools.

The true meaning of this sentence is that if you are a true believer of Bitcoin you start thinking in Bitcoin and not in fiat.
When Bitcoin will be fully victorious over the FIAT Shitcoin, you won't change it back to Fiat.

So yes, fiat went up recently, don't worry. It is a rare occasion.
Fiat has been going down consistently over the last decade, so I can't understand how a very short lived fiat bull run can undermine the downtrend that started 10 years ago.
I strongly advise you to sell all your remaining Fiat as soon as possible!

***NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE*** Do not invest in fiat more than you can allow yourself to lose.

Bitcoin was never easy.

This has always been the price we pay, how we really earn what we will receive.

When they say: 'But you were just lucky getting in early - you didn't do anything to actually earn it'

You smile because you know they're wrong and they have no idea how tough it was to HODL; how it was a roller coaster of emotions for years - a real grind that took strength and belief, that only eventually paid off.

We will have earned every fucking penny.  And it was never, and will never be, easy. Or any idiot could do it.
