The military is setting up MASH units to help the civilian health care.
So, does anybody know if this a first? I mean, the Swedes have proven the smartest so far in my book, has any other country deployed military style health support? If the answer is no, that says a lot. Is your book a childrens book? Military intervention is a Bad Thing, it means things are so bad the military has become necessary.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

If the answer is no, that says a lot. Switzerland has had its first mobilization since WWII. Army and civil protection are supporting hospitals and police already since last week.

The only plausible scenario where the stock market ends the next week up is upon news that Trump's stimulation package (heh, heh) is passed by congress. It may still fall regardless. It will be a real test of the bitcoin "store of value" / "safe haven" narrative.

Nice feel good article... https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-was-designed-for-a-financial-crisis-so-far-its-working-wellThere are many who argue that Bitcoin cannot be a store-of-value based on its whipsaw volatility but valuable insight can be drawn from gold’s price action during the 2008 financial crisis.
Gold certainly doesn’t look like a safe haven after a 24% plunge in less than 2 months, even more worrisome is the fact that the S&P 500 remained flat during that period. Therefore, is it really fair to analyze any correlation over such a short period? Does that sharp movement in price invalidate gold’s resilience during market uncertainties?

So, does anybody know if this a first? I mean, the Swedes have proven the smartest so far in my book, has any other country deployed military style health support? If the answer is no, that says a lot. The Croatian Army has set up self-sustaining expeditionary camp in front of the Dubrava hospital in Zagreb two days ago, and they actively assist the health care system through logistical support. https://seenews.com/news/croatian-army-building-tent-camp-in-zagreb-to-prepare-for-coronavirus-spread-691594https://www.jutarnji.hr/vijesti/top/koronavirus/foto-sve-je-zavrseno-za-samo-72-sata-pogledajte-fotografiju-iz-zraka-evo-kako-izgleda-kamp-za-prihvat-pacijenata-oboljelih-od-koronavirusa-u-dubravi/10118986/Another major accident shook Croatia this morning, two severe earthquakes hit the capital and its surroundings, material damage is severe, and one child sustained life-threatening injuries. https://www.jutarnji.hr/

If things get really bad and they start shutting down centralized messaging services, what are our decentralized options?
Whatsat looks promising: https://twitter.com/joostjgr/status/1190714028626251779Joost Jager @joostjgr Nov 2, 2019 Does instant messaging over Lightning have killer application potential? The world needs censorship-resistant chatting and with Lightning, compensating the network for message relay comes naturally. https://github.com/joostjager/whatsatPerfect. Hopefully a nice GUI gets built for this. I wish I had the time to work on it myself, maybe we can integrate it into the Ocean Builders smart home app.

Is your book a childrens book? Military intervention is a Bad Thing, it means things are so bad the military has become necessary.
Have you ever read a book? Or is it only youtube and blogs all the way? Medical military tents, and/or medical military gear, is far from military intervention the way you mean it. Can actually use the resources for a good cause for a change. Obviously Sweden, edit: Switzerland, Croatia, can tell the difference.

Emm... these guys are not wearing any masks? And the text under the photo tells you that it's a stock photo from the exercise Aurora 17. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_17Aurora 17 was a military exercise that took place in Sweden during a three-week period, from 11 through 29 September 2017.[1] Its main focus was the defence of Gotland.[2] It was Sweden’s biggest military exercise in 23 years and involved troops from the United States and some other NATO countries.[2]

Was the public not paying attention that both Gold and Bitcoin have been running up the last few years since they both bottomed? Gold especially never starts a new bull run unless the "insiders" know what is coming down the pipe. They are always ahead of the public by a few years. By the time a market crash comes, Gold has already moved up from it's bottom by at least 25-30%. Then after a crash is fully over, deflationary assets will take off to try and outrun inflation (or perhaps, because of it). Every. Single. Fkn. Time. Fueled by the Fed's trillions in free money, of course. Remind me in 10 years, here are my conservative predictions: By 2030 - Stock market at another ATH Gold above $2800/ounce Bitcoin above $80K Average new car $30K+ Average 1500 sq.ft. new house $350K+ Oil price? Who the fk knows, the world is swimming in it.

The fact is that Bitcoin has zero correlation with other asset classes. Said in laymen terms: Honey Badger doesn't give a fuck. I won't comment again my own theory about "mining capitulation" induced dump in bitcoin, only to be reinforced by general asset classes crash. So Bitcoin capitulation started for reasons all inside the bitcoin "ecosystem" only to be later reinforced by general market crash. Bitcoin going down because other asset classes crash (Equity, Debt and Gold) going down could lead you to think that bitcoin is still used as a gambling tools by many. Trading bitcoin has low correlation to other asset classes and high volatility, this is a wonderful instrument for scalping (beware: this doesn't mean in any way it is a profitable strategy to scalp on bitcoin). So, despite the digital gold is the best narrative I can think of while dealing with bitcoin, this proved to still be a narrative, not supported by data and market evidences. Actually, if you want to have a ray of light, you can think that bitcoin is not the one you observe on the exchanges. As beautifully pointed out by @Plutosky on the Italian board, bitcoins used for trading are only a minuscule part of the whole bitcoin used out there. If bitcoin would have been a pure gambling tool, given the enormous swings during the last days we would have seen a great surge in bitcoin transactions and a subsequent rise in transaction fees. Ok, we observed a rise in both metrics, but nothing comparable to what would have happened if we had observed a "rush" to the exchanges to trade bitcoins. We observed a few weak hands running to convert into Fiat, a few buying) but the vast majority of hodlers kept on...hodling. If we look at LN statistics we see that the allocated bitcoins in LN are almost unchanged. Sign that no one thought their precious coins were at risk committed to a LN channel. Number of allocated BTC coins actually slightly increased over the market dump: sign that the LN user didn't think their coins were at risk being committed to a channel instead of rushing to a fiat exchange. So, don't infer anything about bitcoin only looking at the price: the price is one of the many aspects of bitcoin, but there is much more to deal with than price.
