slight correction

if you pay in cash he will gladly take the $80 as his staff doesn't have to fight the insurance company for it for it

Why would you think that?

If the bill says $120, you're on the hook for $120 w/o insurance.

'round these parts, most docs I've asked for a cash discount have responded affirmatively.

Why? Because they don't have to pay the clerical staff to spend the time chasing reimbursement. It's a very real savings to them.

'round these parts doctors went nutso, providing telemedicine appointments for hearing problems (ENT).
Like, who gives a f---k? there are some things that telemedicine cannot cure.

Seems to me that Stamp has been pretty damned reliable, over the years, relatively speaking.... even during high volatility periods...  the "go to" standard

OTOH, using an exchange where the bid/ask spread is an order of magnitude or more than that of other high-volume honest exchanges as your price standard seems folly to me. But hey - you do you.

[jbreher]

You 2 assholes smh  
He came to the right place
I wouldn't mind a reminder from the J people, if they don't mind, check I'm not losing it.

Am I a j people?

When price go up, sell. A little.

When price go down, buy. A little.

When price go up more, sell. A little more.

When price go down more, buy. A little more.

Do it through a ladder of standing orders.

Harvest the volatility.

Only with your trading funds - not your core stash. Make your buys and sells each small enough that when price go up real far, you don't run out of trading stash.

Look closer:
Only the US is blaming China and introduced "China Virus" narrative.
No other country is blaming China and otherwise has a "great relationship" with Xi, according to yesterdays press conference (where the whole stage seemed like to be on a good amount of drugs, imo).

Look closer again.
Don't fall for the obvious.

Thank you for keeping cool and civil and pointing out the facts.

I understand we all get upset and more aggressive than usual in these times, but generalized hate leads to war finally.
And we in Europe still know from our parents where generalized hate and oversimplified answers to complex questions can lead to.

Stay positive folks, if you have nothing else to get joy from, watch the BTC charts. I for one am excited how good  BTC masters this crisis.

Yeah it can lead to killing the enemy. China must be destroyed. Convince me otherwise if you think you can. And if you think you can't, maybe you should reconsider your position.

What am I after all? Just some angry ignorant idiot on the internet right? Is that more than you can handle?

Why convince you?
Maniacs can't be convinced.

Even better, i'll motivate you:
The "enemy" is within your mind. So go ahead, destroy the enemy.

Thank you J's ayJuanGee and breher

Not only that, but many exchanges charge lower fees to maker than to taker.

... finally we get to hear the truth from the commie news network, this virus is truly airborne. It spreads by breathing alone. If you paid attention you would have known this from early days but WHO and CDC and most western governmental advice has only been droplet spread based.

Experts tell White House coronavirus can spread through talking or even just breathing

Listened to texas senator live townhall.

Senator: we made benefits available via checks and enhanced UE benefits
People: we cannot get UE benefits because nobody answers via either phone lines and/or Internet
Senator: keep trying, eventually you would succeed

Conclusion: UE numbers are underreported. To what degree, i don't know. So, take that 6.6mil number with a huge grain of salt.
A side note: who da fook would buy Tesla in these conditions? Nobody, IMHo. Just one gratuitous distortion in price vs earnings.

BTW, bitcoin looks toppy as well, but let's see what next two weeks would bring.
maybe it would pop more in the next 2-3 weeks.

Italian death toll significantly underreported, many dying at home or in rest homes when choosing not to go to hospital are not recorded as Coronavirus deaths.
Italy’s Coronavirus Death Toll Is Far Higher Than Reported

The health-care system in the region is so overstretched that doctors can’t treat all the sick. Those who die outside the hospital usually aren’t tested for the coronavirus.

“They are not receiving postmortem tests,” Eleonora Colombi, a family doctor based near Brescia, says of people who die outside hospitals, such as in nursing homes. “Many of those who die and aren’t tested are old, but you normally don’t have so many people all dying at the same time. It’s corona.”

At Dr. Colombi’s office, three patients who tested positive for the coronavirus have died in recent weeks. But an additional 20 people who died with symptoms associated with the virus weren’t tested.

Telsa's have hepa filters and would be a great option for something like this... just saying.

[Biodom]

I have Coway (with hepa) in my home office. It actually causes much better feel, air seems smoother-I highly rec it.

I lack a strategy.

 There is no strategy, but to HODL, when dealing with the honey badger.

 If you try to trade, you're gonna have a bad time.

My strategy; I refuse to make losing trades...

this means I have been stuck in some positions for over 2 years

so yeah...bad time

I just don't feel like asking The Guild for a mining license. KnowwhatImean sorta thing ?

BTC Guild? --> https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BTC_Guild

memories. memories everywhere.   #nohomo

I fucking spent way too much bitcoin there, that pool let you spend the fucking coin without it even leaving. I used to buy the little asics there 1 coin a pop. I know i spent at least 10 coins on em.

wasnt it slush that did that (i mined at both).. those block erupters. still have one.

[STT]

Yep I mined both those pools.    Guild was run by a really solid operator, he was great on everything right upto closing it down for good.   Guild offered the little USB miners and group buys for them I think.    
  Slush I think was the pool where it was very luck based, you could do great just popping in and out just getting lucky on the block getting solved.   On the flip side it could also take forever to find a block :O  Again I might remember wrong from like 7 years ago and I was never a big miner  but the thing sold there especially was the device to store the BTC securely not mine it.


Big pin pops on BTC above 33 day average and back down again but more importantly if it could stay above 6688 roughly (confirming above previous tops) we'll see if BTC beats something of a negative trend here.   In general its in a positive phase still after that low.

Bit of a summary of a passing Legend on the forum here: https://t.co/vJCMyYZk6c?amp=1  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5236861.msg54131840#msg54131840
  Been around so long its reading also like a history and detail to Bitcoin itself.

On one hand I sure the fuck hope so, on the other hand I sure the fuck hope not, I want to buy more cheap. I want to be a greedy fucker but I am low on cash now.

You have had nearly two years to buy.

Bitcoin cannot be waiting around for you to buy another .01. 

Take one for the team, and suck it up.  #nohomo

You mean that you went long, and the BTC price has not gone above your purchasing price?

I am thinking that's not a very BIG deal.

I bought my first coins of 1.24BTC in late November 2013 for $1,200 per BTC, so it was $1,500 for the total purchase of 1.24.

If I just looked at that purchase specifically, then I was not able to assert that purchase to be in profits until March 2017, and really not even solidly above $1,200 until May 2017.

So, that would have been like 3 years and 3-5 months, but I was not really using each BTC purchase as a measure that would limit what I did, even though I largely considered myself as long during that whole time.

Instead of being limited by purchase by purchase, I would use average cost per BTC, which enhanced my psychological and financial liberation.. at least from my way of accounting for the matter... by early 2017, I was averaging costs of about $500 per coin, so I did not feel that I needed $1,200 in order to sell, if push had come to shove.. I felt that I had options, if needed......

Sure some other problems had happened with my situation that ended up raising my costs per BTC, but averaging the costs per BTC seemed to be fairly liberating in the practical application of providing more options and not painting myself into a corner and also NOT really an unfair assessment of overall financial status / health.  Psychological health might be another story.
