The proof is in the pudding though. That study was small and terrible, for various reasons. There are plenty of small scale, informal, unpublished studies showing the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine.

Here's one of many: https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/texas-elderly-hydroxychloroquine-coronavirus-treatment-texas-city/287-7383185c-940c-4cb2-82ea-c4a5ffad3ffb

BTW I find it amazing that Trump Derangement Syndrome has spread to medicine.

https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/491665-if-only-hydroxychloroquine-could-cure-trump-derangement-syndrome

[lightfoot]

That "study" admitted it was giving Hydroxychloroquine to 59 to 75 year old patients with severe disease including Congestive heart failure, Chronic pulmonary disease, diabetes, liver disease, cancer, HIV/AIDS.

These are the people who have COVID19.

Could not discount other factors in deaths

Other factors? You have two groups of people. Give one water, give other drug. See what happens. When twice as many die after drug than water something is odd.

Hm. What is the CV of the author of this rebuttal?

Patrick Howley is an investigative journalist covering national politics. He was instrumental in breaking the NXIVM sex cult, Paul Pelosi Jr.'s work with a company that did business in Ukraine, and the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein. Patrick previously reported for Breitbart, The Daily Caller, and was Editor-in-Chief for Big League Politics.

Hm.



Basic truth here is that these things don't seem to give a flying fuck about politics or subjective reality. When things aren't working you try something else.

$9 billion in stable coins and counting. What can you buy with those? Bitcoins and shitcoins, so a clear indicator of just how much money is sitting on the sideline waiting to buy back in again. You would expect people to learn but it will one day be 2017 all over again.

USD Tether has 20x more active addresses than any other stable coin. It is however clear Coinbase, Gemini etc are trying hard to get a larger piece of the pie.

Some interesting quotes from the article:

- In March, stablecoins have altogether reached ~40% of relative daily value transferred compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum

- Ethereum’s native value transferred has dropped significantly compared to Bitcoin. Many stablecoins however  currently operate on Ethereum’s blockchain.

- stablecoins can be programmatically borrowed, lent, and used as collateral.
(this is big, you get way more interest than having those dollars in a bank account)

- stablecoins’ established use-cases: as a hedge against cryptocurrency volatility and as a bridge between exchanges.

NFL Star Russell Okung Backs Bitcoin Rewards Startup

Okung told Forbes he believes
“finding more ways to EARN bitcoin is just as important as getting more people interested in simply buying bitcoin.”

Interesting reddit on an analysis of all these "grassroots" protests to open the Govt. Hint: It's gun nut astroturf...

https://www.reddit.com/r/maryland/comments/g3niq3/i_simply_cannot_believe_that_people_are/fnstpyl/

Like-minded oppressed peoples are likely to communicate and coordinate? Who woulda thunk it?

Sorry, you lost all credibility with the use of the term 'gun nut'.

I mean, if it walks and talks like a duck...
https://news.yahoo.com/us-lockdown-facebook-groups-opposing-092805078.html

The Dorr brothers manage a slew of pro-gun groups across a wide range of states, from Iowa to Minnesota to New York, and seek primarily to discredit organizations such as the National Rifle Association as being too compromising on gun safety.

Nice spin. Got any more?

Trading fees from lowest to highest: Kraken<Coinbase Pro<Gemini, but not by much (0.10% lowest, 0.35% highest)

Not quite. Coinbase Pro maker trade fee is zero, if you do $50million USD volume in a 30-day period.

yea, but only for market orders makers.
I guarantee that you would slip (be carried by coinbase) by more than 0.15% (around $10) on a large market order.

Was that just a typo?
Trade fee will never go to zero for market orders.
Fee can go to zero for market makers (limit orders).

Shh. Some people just don't want to learn.

[jbreher]

EDIT: I'll stop discussing about this now, can imagine other people want to read more about the BTC price .

Oh come on. I know you're not new around here.

Sounds reasonable. When you make a mistake, you make up for it. They caused us, the entire rest of the world, financial losses. Their mistake, theirs to fix.

The issue is not even with their inability to pay. It's that they won't even try, won't even admit they did anything wrong. They are blaming everyone other than themselves.

They are a negative influence on the entire human species. There is nothing good about them. If they will not at least make up for their mistakes, or deliberate attacks as the case may be, then it does not benefit us to allow them to live.

Who -- exactly -- is the they to which you refer? Do you put forth the notion that over a billion people are individually culpable, and each and every man, woman, and child must be eradicated to avenge your outrage?

A close friend invited me to his house today with questions on 'crypto'.  I just delivered my first solid home run for BTC and topped it with a new Trezor.  Stoked personally because that gap of knowing something and being able to speak about it is closing in, didn't even blink    
This friend is a well to do businessman, healthy boomer, searching for hard assets with a goal to get their money out of the banking system.  Only a few degrees away from mainstream.
Be ready for it, its here.  
 

Same happened to me a couple of weeks ago.
Of course it didn't happen in real life, but a very long telephone conversation.
I said at one point "Hey, someone gave me a link to a Bitcoin expert's forum, there this guy posted a very good resource repository to convince you to buy bitcoins!".

5 Resources to teach Average Joe about Bitcoin.

It actually was the italian version of this thread, but you get the point.

We are again in those days where a lot of persons ask you about corn, but for the FIRST TIME it is not when the price is skyrocketing.
This is very interesting bullish in my opinion.

Price guide for anyone done a disservice by their local walmart and has an A-10 tank killer parked outside waiting for a refill, its the far right one.

2 day and weekly average are in the same place just above with monthly not far below for a boundary either side.   Target downside would be 6400

I have two of these at home.

 





They are for the 12 cm tornautomatpjäs m/70 that I served at  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_cm_tornautomatpj%C3%A4s_m/70
Actually I seved on the Bofors 40 mm AA guns supporting it, but it was all one unit and we were all in the same underground building. I was controlling the guns from my station in the control room. There is some good pictures of the station and the whole thing online, but they are all in some weird format that I cant open (webp.) but here is the link to the pictures. http://www.skymningslage.se/batteri-landsort/



Finaly came across a picture of my workstation. When in use there would of course be a headset and maps and all sorts of stuff all around it. Remember we are talking 1980-1990 here.

Oh man, WalMart dropped artillery from their approved ammunition sales.

where am I going to get my 357mm now?

For me the best caliber, any 357 gun supports 38sp caliber, buy 38sp

Answering the question should not be that difficult, Ibian.

You seem to have been saying that "they" is china or chinese people?  I think that you are saying the latter, but you are the one who should be best to clarify what you mean, instead of just deflecting or avoiding, which seems to be amongst the best of your specialties.. ornery and evasive...  but nonetheless, self-righteous.  What a combination of attributes.    

By the way, the ideas are in your lil noggen of a head, so it is all about you, at least you are the one making the statements, so it is an attempt to clarify your thoughts, to the extent that you have anything that is possibly coherent and feasible within there... which is quite doubtful.... and you seem to prove it yourself without anyone really needing to argue  with you....   you seem to be proving your own level of dumb.



 thanks for entertaining us...

In a few years people will look back at the price of $68xx & be depressed at selling in that price range.

Please fellow HODLERS, don’t sell at this pathetic price - DON’T BE A GREG!

Kind of, you would enter air pressure, wind speed, direction of the wind, temperature, speed of the projectile and possible something more I have forgotten now. And then the computer would use those parameters to make sure the projectile hits what you are aiming at.
The joystick would steer the AA guns shooting in parallell and I would see the target on the screen.
The screen had a x on it in that mode, and when the target was in the x you would let go of the button on top of the joystick and the computer would track automatically, all you had to do was press the pedal and shoot a 8 shot burst, see what happened and repeat until target was destroyed.

Today all this is replaced by the AA version of the CV 90
