Not enough said to convince anyone who can add. I like comparing the relatively trivial China Flu deaths with lots of serious killers besides snake bites. Snake bites is something of a joke with just 80k a year. China Flu might catch up to that(pathetic its taken so long to get halfway), but it is nothing compared to more serious killers. Lets take the regular flu that frightened hysterics shut down the world for and quiver like scared children over. "Seasonal flu kills 291000 to 646000 people worldwide each year"https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=208914#covidiot If we treated Covid-19 like we treat the flu, we'd have millions dead each year.

We still will. If it kills even 1% and it actually does spread 3 times as fast as the regular flu, that's 78 million dead right there.

Hello gang, I don't usually do this kind of thing, but I'd like to point out a valuable bitcoin related initiative. Helperbit is an Italian company that deals with Peer to Peer donations, with maximum transparency: Helperbit: the most innovative way to raise funds TRANSPARENT - We use Blockchain technology to offer full transparency of economic flows
FREE - No registration fees or hidden costs
SAFE - You have full control of your funds thanks to Helperbit's Multifirma Bitcoin Wallet
POWERFUL - Bitcoin and altcoin supported They are organizing a fundraiser for an advanced medical post for pre-triage: COVID-19 Advanced Medical Post For Pre-TriageCOVID-19 Advanced Medical Post For Pre-Triage In Italy CREATED BY:Croce Rossa Italiana | Comitato Colli Albani BITCOIN ADDRESS:3NpNJfgpYVyZSa8YCfUufC3idVtF3iSX6d UPDATE March 15th The project has reached the target goal of € 10,000 to purchase the AMP: we did it thank to your generosity! But we don't stop here, we reopen the fundraising campaign with a new goal: to complete the AMP core structure with the accessories necessary for emergency operations, such as a DefiMonitor (a defibrillator with vital signs monitor). Regarding the second level Advanced Medical Post for COVID-19 pre-triage, we are proceeding with the purchase of the material to be ready for its deployment in the local area. Your support is greatly appreciated! Thank You! ——————————————————————————————— PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Coronavirus disease in Italy has created a national health emergency. At the time of writing we have had more than 31.5 thousand confirmed cases and 2503 deaths. It is already difficult to locate the intensive care beds when needed and we are still a long way from peak infection. See the latest officially confirmed data at: http://tiny.cc/07s7kzThe Italian Red Cross | Colli Albani Committee is asking for Bitcoin donations (and other cryptocurrencies) to purchase and set-up a Second Level Advanced Medical Post for pre-triage of COVID-19 cases. Our target of 10.000 € will be used to purchase the core infrastructure and medical equipment for the project. Any surplus will be used to provide medical staff with the personal protection they need. Here the original thread where they presented their project on BitcoinTalk in 2015: Helperbit P2P Aid - natural disaster and bitcoin Disclaimer: - I am not in any way related to Helperbit (I only attended the presentation of their project by their founder Guido Baroncini Turrichia years ago at a Bitcoin Meetup in Milan)
- I also place it above all to give an example of how the blockchain can be used to add transparency to a project
- It is not an obligation to donate funds, everyone makes their own assessments, based on their possibilities, inclinations and preferences.
Hello Guys, just to report that the campaign I supported here on the WO has actually delivered more than 3 BTC to the Italian Red cross. Only 0.55% in total commissions NETWORK FEES INCLUDED! (I bet this is unbeatable) https://twitter.com/Helperbit/status/1244933611276701698?s=20

I am sure his contribution here is actually worth something. But it surprises me how much I recoil when I read yet another celebrity pontificating about things. It bothers me especially with the whole: "I am not a doctor, but I played on on TV" angle. What a plastic world we have built. And boy, I have become cynical.

spammie layer and sidekaak seem to have the biggest problems with the 'managing the narrative' on WO. Im embarrassed for being accurately called out as something of a paranoid schizo, just like Roach. I spend a lot of time scaring myself with elaborate and implausible scenarios.
... free thought and discussion will get disrupted and spammed to death.When I get scared and short BTC, I try to spam the stuff that made me panic short, hoping others will listen. More rational WO members easily tear apart my wild theories and poke a bit of fun at me. I hate this so much.
Like mention that SARS-COV-2 is probably manmade virus they will get highly agitated, (therefore is probably the truth govvies are trying desperately to hide) Im paranoid to the point I think normal people are working for the government to suppress my super special secret knowledge. I hear medication would help, but I think its a government ruse to keep me sedated.
They attach to thought leaders and attempt reputation-destroying through any means possible ... they always seem to get a little girl crush on me, (roach was the same) so probably same operation, different pseudoyms, yet I hardly ever post on here except when times are 'interesting'. Im still upset Slayer said I had a vagina. Hurt pride is a bitch.
The response does look highly organised globally, right down to the long delays in closing borders (allow disease to spread widely), the same strict testing requirements until disease has spread and now the same lockdown (crashing of global economies simultaneously). Now we get coordinated suppression of freedom of expression (clampdown on 'misinformation', social media), freedom of movement and pushing millions into dependence upon the welfare states.Paranoid copy pasta. Boogey man is gonna getcha, yada yada.
Temporary global governance and a global budget with globally aligned currencies (one world currency) are the next phases possibly..Pro bono proctologists will come down from the sky and insert a galactic currency in your rectum!
Wow, glad you covered, this was getting ridiculous. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Yeah, but there is a significant portion of the population who will not trust a real doctor but who will trust an actor they saw on a TV show....

Very interesting newsletter today: Miner-led selling pressure for Bitcoin is likely to continue to increase because both Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV will be experiencing their halving on April 8 and April 9, respectively. All three assets share the same SHA-256 mining algorithm and miners can seamlessly redirect their hash power to the asset that provides the highest return on investment.
When Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV halve their block rewards, this should force miners to direct even more hash power to Bitcoin as it will still have a 12.5 native unit block reward (instead of 6.25) for about a month longer. Therefore, we should expect difficulty increases for Bitcoin that should further squeeze profit margins for all miners.
It is concerning that miners are in a state of capitulation even before the halving. Once the block reward halves, miner revenue will be cut in half while miner costs will remain constant, so we expect even more miners to capitulate in the months ahead.
Miner capitulation increases selling pressure until inefficient miners are forced off the network, but in the long run these events are supportive for prices. Culling inefficient miners allows only the most efficient miners with the lowest cost of production to remain. Once inefficient miners exit the network, profit margins will improve for the remaining miners, which reduces selling pressure, increases prices, and should repeat in a virtuous cycle. Eventually, if prices bottom and recover, the pro-cyclical behavior of remaining miners should support further price increases.

Interesting. But wouldn't more miners means the price goes *up* since they don't want to dump bitcoins at a loss?

They HAVE to dump to pay for their bills (electricity) and their new Hardware to cope with more efficiency required to survive after halving, with reduced coinbase and skyrocketing difficulty (circular loop from new hardware).

Bullseye article on ZH. Nailed it. https://www.zerohedge.com/health/p-pandemic-and-o-orwellianBest quote: "Don’t look now but you’ve been screwed again. The Wall Street bankers are again able to borrow at 0%, while charging you 17% on your ever-increasing credit card balance. Why aren’t these scumbag bankers announcing a three-month moratorium on credit card and mortgage payments, with no interest accruing? Because their goal is to further enslave you in debt, while enriching themselves. They will run patriotic commercials, while sticking a red white and blue dildo up your ass."
My nephew has recently been expressing interest in knowing more about how the financial markets really work. It's nice to see him thinking for himself and expressing scepticism about the system. But I don't have much time at the moment to sit down with him and explain the corrupt relationship between the Fed, banking system, govts, QE, etc. etc. Any recommendations for something which I can direct him to which explains this all for a bright teenager who is already suitably cynical of mainstream media?

No pre-halving pump, price actually dumped. Should we expect the price all the more to explode in price following the halving?

Maybe try The Creature from Jekyll Island? I have not read it (yet) but see it recommended enough to give it a shot. Also, for something practical on how to make money for himself, The Richest Man in Babylon. Also on youtube in audiobook format.

Ex-Royal Mint Team’s Crypto Insurance Now Provides $1M Cover for All Civic WalletsA new cryptocurrency wallet insurance product from Coincover offers better protection than many existing custodial solutions, the firm says.
The Cardiff, U.K.-based risk management provider announced Tuesday that its insurance policy, underwritten by Lloyd's of London, would now provide Civic wallet users up to $1 million in cover. The insurance is assigned automatically when a user registers for a Civic wallet and requires no further steps to qualify.
The firm said this is the first hot-wallet insurance offering to date that offers $1 million in protection. https://www.coindesk.com/ex-royal-mint-teams-crypto-insurance-now-provides-1m-cover-for-all-civic-wallets

Two girls, one jar?
speaking of which...where tf is the dude? In deep deep deep bunker quarantine ..... today’s program, buy a few cheap corns at available price of the day (feels like fish and eating the catch of the day)... then re look at my lower orders, see if there could be some adjustments Then or better say now gonna go for a RUN with one of my dogs .... small chill moment after that and at exactly 14h I’m expected at my girls place for a les mills garden GRITT course!!! Yeah, didn’t shares this one in the open yet I think.... but I broke up with my GF after a 6.5 years..... few months ago somewhere around my Brazil trip.... and strangely my path lead me to someone new as well... the dude is happy, and willing to make a coiner of this one as well, she smart and interested so when she sees and learns the fundamentals then she will be a coiner as well, I’m sure of that. Actually to have met someone before this quarantine situation is a blessing as well, the Dude don’t cook very well and sh*t so lucky me ☺️ Is The Dude really Leo. 6.5 yrs.... Did CryptoQ hit max age and The Dude replaced her. So many questions.... via Imgflip Meme GeneratorBut seriously, good job converting the new one to a coiner. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Not replaced, but after the break up... met someone else who’s 3 years older.... the dude go’s in reverse movement of other peeps.... @LS, the feeling was over, she will always be a friend, but nothing more.... the dude needs someone to spark his engine 😅
