Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[Ibian]

Hey, here is a short story for you:

Ancient super-civilization is silently watches over Earth.
At some point, seeing that all that accumulation of debt had led to GFC, they decide to influence the creation of bitcoin-a sound money, hoping that earthlings would slowly but surely learn a better way to conduct finances (bitcoin).
Moving forward 11 years and ancients are witnessing a financial tornado (caused, apparently by a virus), printing vast amounts of money, making all kinds of promises of "support".
Nobody is essentially thinking about a "better way" which is becoming smaller than a mouse pimple.
Ancients: "Oh well, we tried".
Fin

Alternatively, this does look like a game or a simulation. What are the chances that several NEVER BEFORE seen events can happen within such a short period of time?
Lowest interest recorded in 5000 years, highest spike in unemployment EVER recorded, highest amount of money printed.
This does not look like a "game" to you?

We are literally living out an Ayn Rand story. Can't wait to see how things develop.

As much as I love our founding documents; brilliant utopianism, best yet, seriously...how often do you get to do that?

The right of the governed to abolish has never been a real thing.

We need something stronger than an appeal to metaphysics in the next iteration.

Militarized public. Freedom is when, and only when, the government fear the people.

you've been misinformed and you just contracted a virus that may make you impotent.

Doctors in the central Chinese city of Wuhan plan to embark on a long-term study of the effects of the coronavirus
on the male reproductive system, building on small-scale research indicating that the pathogen could affect sex hormone levels in men.

Though still preliminary and not peer reviewed, the study is the first clinical observation of the potential impact of Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, on the male reproductive system, especially among younger groups.
In a paper published on the preprint research platform medRxiv.org
, the researchers – from Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University and the Hubei Clinical Research Centre for Prenatal Diagnosis and Birth Health – said they analysed blood samples from 81 men aged 20 to 54 who tested positive for the coronavirus and were hospitalised in January.

The median age of the participants was 38 and roughly 90 per cent of them had only mild symptoms. The samples were collected in the last days of their stay in hospital.

Using the samples, the team looked at the ratio of testosterone to luteinising hormone (T/LH). A low T/LH ratio can be a sign of hypogonadism, which in men is a malfunction of the testicles that could lead to lower sex hormone production.

The average ratio for the Covid-19 patients was 0.74, about half the normal level.

Historically, 40% of men reproduced and 80% of women did. Men also died a lot more simply due to necessity.

This virus is killing the old (we didn't use to live this long on average), hurting men more than women and shutting down borders (mexico is going to pay for the freakin wall at this rate). It's almost like it was built to bring us back to a more natural state of being.

Too many coincidences to be entirely coincidental.

You didn't think I went to sleep, did ya?

spammie layer and sidekaak seem to have the biggest problems with the 'managing the narrative' on WO.

... free thought and discussion will get disrupted and spammed to death.

Temporary global governance and a global budget with globally aligned currencies (one world currency) are the next phases possibly..

#lock.stock.&.2.smoking.barrels.

... is that a physical threat?

Get fucking real for one fucking second bitch. It's a film.

& a fucking good one!
Good morning. Thanks BTC for me waiting with prices a tad higher than last night's dip 
Bought.

Take care, and when you flee your city/country, avoid closed spaces without protection gear,
Have a nice day, ppl.

[Wekkel]

Patience was rewarded with a price dip. Bought some more. Holding some fiat back should this worsen.

Pick a solid strategy and stick with it. Discipline is everything now.

... confirmed cases outside china still doubling every 4-5 days. Deaths also doubling every 4-5 days, now at ~25,000.

back-of-envelope ... testing is probably 1 generation behind actual infections and only 20% feel unwell enough to get tested so right now estimated infections is around 5 million. Depending on various health systems ability to cope that means deaths expected globally between 50,000-250,000 in the pipeline ... if all infections stopped today.

I'm trapped in a month of Sunday's

[heslo]

Yeah I think things will definitely get worse before they get better... I'm lucky in our country that I'm still able to work. My wife has lost her job until everything re-opens but I'm still able to keep the money coming in. A lot better off than many. Keep safe guys, it's tough out there. Hopefully this time next year all this shit will be behind us and we will be having a 100k party somewhere nice and warm

In the Netherlands 80% of hospitalized cases is overweight, while "only" 50% of the population is overweight (by Dutch metrics). It's just one data point but it could mean the US healthcare system will be hit harder than what we have seen in Asia. The US does have the advantage of having more time to prepare and start earlier with testing, but that was true for Asian countries outside China as well.

Edit: for reference:

Dropping these just to show how extraordinary the current price point is. That does not say anything about the future (it could drop more) but with the Halvening approaching I am taking my bet 

DCA some more at this point, gentlemen....

Admire yourself discipline. I am FOMO dumping my fiat these days, lost all reservations. Bitcoin under $10k, lol.

(In my mind I bought some rusty coins, which makes them even a bit more special. Might deep freeze them for a decade for extra drama.)

FYI, bitcoiners can't catch MyCorona, because they are already immune - they caught it last year.
Much like Chuck Norris.

So sweet of you to drop by.

This was so wrong.
I guess I got carried away.

I do apologize QuestionAuthority mate, sorry.

Stick around.

I've tried to avoid the debate on how to treat gin. I enjoy it with Schwepp's and a twist as well as with Dolin's and an olive and a few drops of the brine.

But Bombay Sapphire for gawd's sake? Isn't that something they use for stripping paint? It's barely better than Beefeater or Gilbey's.

To rank it above Tanqueray is a sacrilege and Tanqueray is just middle-of -the-road. I prefer Hendrick's (especially Orbium) for a more subtle, refined taste and Gordon's for full-on honest juniper goodness.

To each their own, I guess. I place Sapphire, Tanqueray, and even Hendricks as about equivalent quality-wise. I just like the mix of infused botanicals in Sapphire.

Hendricks is good for a change of pace from time to time. Cucumber garnish, please.

Gordon's!? Egad, sir! Begone from this place with that turpentine! Well, I guess it's not _crap_ per se - just bland as all nothingness.

i feel like such the barbarian.

There were delays the previous day in collecting the data from some regions, that's why yesterday's numebr were so bad, because the previous day's one were better!

Using log axis better shows we still are in the exponential gegion of growth (growth rate>1)

The Dude bought himself some toilet paper  🧻 today 

 I'm jealous Mr. El duderino.  I've had to cut back on fiber to conserve toilet paper.  There's none available in these parts!

That’s a bummer, in here a lot of shops where out but seems to be refilling
