this is an automated post but unfortunately I'm not able to post it via my bot account Gyrsur_Bot because of restrictions.

Let's say you get this ticker verified and able to run the bot ticker account just for prices as you wish...I've been here long enough that you likely would be banded, like 'chart buddy' from posting on Wall Observer anyway. Chart Buddy was banned for too much spam and not enough posts back in the day....on W0.
So 'likely' you would have to put this bot account if given permission on your 'own' thread that people would have to tag to see...
you might be better off just asking Thermos to put such a BTC Ticker on the main page or Bitcointalk or have it show up as an addition to your profile info page....or something

Anyway, from what I remember on Chart Buddy going away on WO, back in the day, anyway...

Boris got it a week ago but heard was recovering.
I guess her speech got under his nerves.
That 6666th post should go right to the wall on that thread in meta.

People start to go downhill properly right around the time he's popped off to hospital himself.

And it's not as if we're going to get the full truth. Perhaps a ten hour Twitter feed of his blue face and bulging eyes would convince more people to knuckle down.

He will be fine.

I wouldn't be so sure on this one. I think the people of the UK need to prepare themselves mentally for potential of losing their elected leader to this disease so the whole thing doesn't go to custard rapidly. It'll be a blow for the free world if he does succumb.

He doesn't strike me as someone who might exercise regularly or watch his diet too closely and clearly in one of the most stressful jobs in the country, not to mention the stressful circumstances. He's male, mid-50's (so no spring chicken) and then there's the unknown unknowns some people may be genetically predisposed to simply succumbing for no currently known reason ... not saying it will happen but be prepared UK.

A frontline doctor caring for seriously ill coronavirus patients has given a brutally detailed description of what it's like to die from the virus.

Dr David Hepburn, an intensive care consultant at the Royal Gwent Hospital in Wales, was asked by the UK's Channel 4 to explain how someone can die after contracting coronavirus.

His devastatingly simple answer, in full:

"What we know is primarily the coronavirus causes respiratory failure. So when it spreads to the lungs, it causes what we call a pneumonitis, where the lungs become very wet and waterlogged inside. So the normal mechanisms that keep fluid in the blood break down. The little membranes and tissues and the bases of the lungs become porous, and that allows fluid to leak in from the circulation into the lungs, almost like drowning.

"One of the things we provide with ventilators is pressure, which pushes some of that fluid out and helps to keep the lungs open. So ... people become exhausted because the work of breathing is so great that they basically become exhausted and die.

 "So, if you imagine your lungs are normally like a nice, light sponge – light and easy to move. If you've ever pulled a sponge out of a bucket of water you'll know how heavy and wet can become. It's exactly the same thing – if your lungs are absolutely sodden, then it's very, very difficult to breathe.

"What happens over time is people's levels of oxygen fall, the levels of carbon dioxide, which is a gas you normally breathe out, rise in the blood. That makes you even more drowsy – it has a narcotic effect. And then people will slowly develop worsening respiratory failure, and eventually they'll become unconscious and their breathing will get more shallow and they'll die."

...

 And Hepburn explained that this isn't the only cause of death among patients suffering from coronavirus – he'd also seen patients die from "multi-organ failure", as the kidneys, lungs, liver and even circulation progressively shut down.

"We've also seen patients who develop a thing called a myocarditis. Often when they're starting to recover – the heart can become very adversely affected and they develop heart failure. That's been probably the leading cause of death in the Covid patients we've seen," he revealed.

I'm not medical but that doesn't sound like a snakebite?

Chartbuddy posted every hour, and Richy_T had some kind of special permission, so NOT sure if Gysur would need special permission, and was Gysur planning to post hourly or some other increment, which might make a difference too regarding whether his bot would trigger some kind of prohibited conduct.  There are already some exemptions in regards to the way that we are allowed to post in the WO thread, too.

Chart Buddy wasn't banned. RichyT had a falling out with Theymos in the Block Size Wars and packed up and moved to the "other forum" (same one Adam went to) taking Chart Buddy with him.

This disease is very strange and I can believe some of the claims that it was perhaps cooked up in some Chinese lab. It seems to act like radiation poisoning in that the dosage you get could determine the battle you may have to endure and perhaps the outcome as well. Why is it that quite a few healthy nurses are dying from this otherwise?

Also Boris Johnson claimed he shook hands with "everyone" including patients of coronavirus back in early March:
https://news.sky.com/video/coronavirus-i-shook-hands-with-everybody-11948548

If the virus takes out Boris this will be a shockwave across the world I think.

Boris Johnson comes across as quite a nice guy to me personally. The sort of person even if you heavily disagree with his politics you could still have a drink with and have a laugh.
I wish him the best. I believe his girlfriend / fiancee caught the virus as well. People in London seem to have it bad like in New York.

Really hope the west is not going to have to give in and everyone having to wear these ridiculous masks for the next few years.

I think this virus is going to have huge ramifications for China and the World Health Organisation when this is all over who were obviously trying to keep a lid on this for as long as possible. Even Australia declared this as a pandemic two weeks before the WHO, totally useless organisation. I suppose China are putting on a brave face and sort of claiming they have beat this monster and wanting to be perceived as helping others as a last throw of the dice. Their export market will be destroyed regardless I reckon. No one is going to be interested in buying luxury goods at the same rate as before. You can forget people so easily upgrading from an Iphone 11 to a 12 to 13 etc when unemployment is back in double digit percentage figures across many countries.

No chance the Huawei 5G contract will go ahead in Britain if anything happens to Boris. No way. People will be outraged. The British media would most likely make sure it doesn't happen at that point I believe. The UK Government can very quickly change course with a bit of media pressure from what I've seen.

I think the seriousness of this virus has become far more clear just in the last few weeks. Had the UK government Huawei 5G rebellion from early March taken place now it would probably have gained more support.

Hm. Possible that people will finally realize that reality exists?

Naah....

[marcus_of_augustus]

Isn't it a little suspicious that so many of the leading government figures in UK have gotten infected by this disease?

I mean those Euro-remainer elitists were pretty rabid and butt-hurt about Boris and the gang getting UK finally out of Europe as per the people's wishes. How many of them have come down with it? I really hope there wasn't any intentional spreading of the disease going on in the corridors of Whitehall or on the streets of Westminister.

J.bitches, please hush.

breher can't help but remind us that he's a fork shill. even during a pandemic, and invoking the medical troubles of an established forum members to do so.

he can't help it but its still kind of a dick move.

No. Their job is literally shaking hands.

Bull-fucking-shit.  _I'm_ not the one that brought the topic up. Check the goddam transcripts. You're so fucking partisan that you're blinded to the bald truth.

weekly wrap

Bitcoin continues to show signs of recovery as we close out another weekly candle. Strong buying offset moderate sells for the week to bring in modest gainz(tm)

Still looks like there could be plenty of dip left is what I say. #dyor

A support level now turned into resistance. $7175.25 turning again into a support zone will signal that the recovery rally is well under way. The true test for us all is over the next month I fear.

my condolences  Even in this time of grief, others will look at you for guidance. Now is the time to be strong..to be a rock for friends and family.

Stay safe out there folks.

Transcripts checked. You're the one who brought up Bruno.

You could have just said nothing, which would have been more honorable than what you actually said.

I honestly don't feel like arguing about the issue any further, as it was a stupid issue to begin with, so I'll let you have the last word.

The topic, for which I am routinely castigated, is BCH, which was not brought up by me.

My contribution using BCH — one of the few sanctioned methods — was used merely to point out that characterizing “bcashers” as living in “fantasy land” is pure nonsense. Real commerce is accomplished thereby.

[amishmanish]

No, BCH's reason for existence is as a means of transferring value. Specifically, an uncensorable one that does not collapse in functionality as demand for its use rises. How is this flawed? You're still way off base.

I only just started posting in the WO thread hoping to join in on what the cool boys are up to. Didn't know will have to contend with an altcoin shiller so early.. Why are you here if you want to shill an altcoin? Go preach to some newbie who finds it exciting that they can buy "some kind of scammy, slyly marketed bitcoin" after finding that BTC ain't a get-rich quick scheme. Congratulations on discovering the "use-case" of Bcash. Honestly, please don't reply with the properties of bcash again. Don't want to listen to how your business associates scam-market themselves or how you got convinced. You stay safe.

Stay safe everyone else. Follow social distancing and keep your own little islands of family and locality safe first. Get IPA, Sanitizer, bleach powder and spray it reasonably every time someone crosses the boundary of your home. We rebuild from there. So sad that people are losing relatives who die alone in hospital wards while some of these fake anti-authoritarian, wannabe-cavaliers still deny the pandemic. Fuck you morons..

Nobody Understands Bitcoin (And That’s OK)

After years of learning, I now devote a fair amount of my time trying to help others understand bitcoin better. While many people have referred to me as a “bitcoin expert,” I still consider myself a student – I have yet to determine how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Good morning WO,s

LFC Come on, calm down, we'll be there soon.

Sunday is over
Barbecue, wine, meat, some green...
Small group of people.

Awesome and warm day
Still covid annoys us all
Stay safe, stay at home.

You can donate money to the church in Louisiana that had their pastor arrested for having church here:  http://LTCBR.com/

I didn't bother asking if they would take Bitcoin.  I sent them $123.45.

Surely we see Bitcoin hit $10,000 this week... that'd be super.  I think we will really be off to the races again with just a TINY splash of confidence... I'm seeing a lot of friends buying BTC again.
