I don't care about the virus so much as the effect it is having on my inability to purchase alcohol.

In 2 days we go into total lockdown for 30 days with mandatory 24/7 curfews.

I was caught with my pants down and am finally moving out of a hotel into an apartment with a kitchen tomorrow, just in time to try to buy some rice and whatever else will last for 30 days... Panic hoarding is a luxury here because most people can't afford to do it, so I ought to be OK. I fear nothing but fear itself.

not liking this.

alcoholics can die from DTs, or thats the reasoning why liquor stores are considered "essential businesses" in most states so far.

and our WO member potentially with covid-19..

best to all of us who are and will be effected in one way or another.

Its more of just an inconvenience for me. Have gone 6 days without so far... Occasionally I catch myself thinking of how good it would be to sip on a nice cold beer. I think that's the worst of it.

Everything you said though I entirely agree with. I wish safety and sanity for all.

not sure if there's been a miscommunication here

earlier i said there's a bitcoiner (so, not a WO member) thinks he might have covid

and a WO member having a babby

edit: wait someone else?

[lightfoot]

Hm. I wonder how much alcohol an addict would need per day to not die of DT. One could get a couple of gallons of grain, and just spike water, soda, beer, whatever to keep the shakes away.

Really really *REALLY* glad I missed the alcoholic gene. Dad's got it, Grandma had it (but only drank beer), cousins have it, sister has it (blew a .28 once and was still "fine"), I really do not seem to have it.

reading fail on my part i think.

at this point though we bitcoiners, nocoiners and WO peeps are pretty much in the same boat.

agreed. one nation under satoshi

[machasm]

The conspiracy theorist in me says what if this whole thing ends up being an excuse for the powers that be to tighten up social media and media in general?
If after all this turns out to be the biggest overreaction in history it will be very easy to blame the media outlets for creating the furor in the first place.
Food for thought.

[lightfoot]

Given the incredibly malleable nature of men this is a distinct possibility regardless of how it turns out.

You ghoulish fucks.
It's fine to hate him.
But to revel in a 1%-chance-of-early-death for some person. Hmm.
He's got countless children you know. Who he doesn't acknowledge. Hmmmm.

His party's 'austerity' measures over the last ten years have severely impacted the National Health Service's (and any other public body's) ability to cope with any kind of crisis, and have undoubtedly already caused unnecessary deaths over that time period. I wouldn't wish death on him, but it's difficult for millions of Brits to have any sympathy for this privileged, egotistical twat right now.

I think the NHS is also down a lot of money thanks to Brexit.

Hm. Wonder when the horde of diseased refugees will try to invade Ireland. They may need a wall.

[Cryptotourist]

The problem with Corona is that it all happens within 2-3 weeks.

So I'm told.
Very elegant argument, don't you think?

Ultimately, it doesn't matter, I'll play along. For the moment.

It has never been about body count in the first place, and indeed the personal risk for individuals dying from Corona is miniscule compared to many dozens of other prevalent risks in society.

Yeah, logic sometimes prevails.

Your opinion is as valuable as everybody's else here, but you won't win the argument by filling pages making fun of people with differing opinions.

True dat.

Brexit hasn't actually happened yet. Although UK formally left the EU on 31st January, in remains subject to EU regulations during a transition period which will end on 31 December 2020. Given the current situation, it's probable that that date will be pushed back, so until then UK is, in effect, still in the EU.

On a side note, it's interesting to see how quickly the EU nations reinstated their old borders as soon as some panic came along. No freedom of movement (one of the EU's pillars) now....

I also heard some envy on the Spaniards' part that the Germans have boatloads of ventilators but won't lend them around their sister european nations. idk

Hey Spammie Layer?

Conspiracy theory of the day - Lambie Slayer is actually the person he claimed to slay. The state can no longer afford the experimental meds that turned the tide back in the day.

One week before we get goatse and Chinese astronaut cartoons again.

Like.

Here is another:
Never imagined that "new world order" would be something like this. #locked_down
But then again, maybe I wasn't paying much attention when watching Idiocracy.

I know you said it's illegal there, but I bet that WO can help you.
Give us a phony public address or something and a non-existent name (actually Mr. Nut Ildah would do great). Don't know your resources.
Then we can send you a bottle each. Some should reach you. No?

also interesting is how guys in the US have suddenly turned socialist all of a sudden. that's the thing with crises dude. everything's fine, until it suddenly isn't. the plague doesn't care about politics and worldviews.

The irony continues...the UK Health Secretary "Matt Hancock" also tested positive for the Corona Virus... https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2020/mar/27/uk-coronavirus-live-rough-sleepers-nhs-applause-covid-19-latest-news

hello

[JayJuanGee]

By the way, jbreher.., since I have you "on the line"....

It must have been some damned busy weeks for you since about early to mid March and thereafter keeping up with your buy/sell orders.  

Busy? Naaaah.

It takes about 12 seconds to place a contrasting order whenever a standing order is hit. So, should volatility take us five notches in a day, I've spent an entire minute on ladder maintenance.

I don't know if I should believe you, or not.  Of course, I believe you in the sense that I believe that you are actually doing it, and that you are making profits, but in terms of the level of your efficiency.. i have my skepticism.

Sure, you might be a robot in terms of your resetting of your orders, and maybe you have various parameters that either you do not need to tweak or that such tweaking is also somewhat systematic (thus requiring little to no thought).

Mostly the latter.

Since retiring, the bulk of my income is derived from Bitcoin volatility. IOW, I am taking my profits in USD. Goes up? Sell N Bitcoin at each rung. Goes down? Buy N Bitcoin at each rung. The rungs are equally-spaced. N=N. So it takes about twelve seconds to enter the corresponding counter order.

So far, I have been taking profits in BTC, or at least, folding all dollars back into BTC purchases, and I am tentatively considering the funding of my lifestyle.. the taking of profits in dollars as a separate endeavor, that will likely start to happen in the coming few years.  I suppose maybe by the time I get to the stage of overall withdrawing dollars rather than stacking sats, then I would be also taking profits in dollars, too... but that still should not be changing how much time it would take for me to execute trades (or setting up the buy sell orders). 

I suppose maybe part of my seemingly less efficiency in setting up my buy/sell orders is just that I spend some time trying to investigate what had happened while I was away, exactly, and then making sure that I am doing exactly what I want to do, even though I do have somewhat set buy/sell increments that keep getting triggered.  Mine are not at exactly the same intervals, but they are definitely systematic. 

I am not sure if I spend more time than you contemplating what I am doing, but I did quickly look at my activities since March 1, and it appears that I had about 58 buy orders execute and about 28 sell orders, a bit higher activity level than usual.
