I do not, I don't even know who Vegeta is (well, I understand that he is some kind of comic figure, but that's all I know). And I also do not know the thing with hashtag, seriously.

https://blog.hootsuite.com/social-media-glossary-definitions/

A hashtag is a word or phrase preceded by the '#' sign. Hashtags are used on social media to tag posts as part of a larger conversation (such as #HODL) or topic (such as #Bitcoin). Clicking a hashtag reveals the latest posts that include the tag. Hashtags are searchable, and serve a similar role to keywords.


hey Arrie..welcome to the internet

Seriously? hashtags are clickable? I had no idea. Thanks for the information.
And for your information, I was introduced to the internet in 2000 and there was no damn hashtags back then

To be honest, I was introduced to the internet in the late 80s and I still don't fully understand what a hashtag is supposed to mean. I guess it means actually keyword as explained by Toxic2040, but it strikes me as blatant abuse of the hash char for marketing purposes and to hide the fact that social media is totally unorganised and totally unsuitable for actual information retrieval.

It is said, that the hastag idea at Twitter originated from IRCs channel names.


[Edit]: Sorry, again late to the discussion and still catching up.

The pictures I say of these brutes were scarier.

They seem like they are playing out their personal fantasy more than anything else.

Yes, but right now their personal fantasy and reality is one and the same, and that must be a great feeling for them.
They are going to pester their grandchildren with these stories forever,

I fear that the easing may be the most dangerous period.  We know there are tons of asymptomatic people been cooped up the last month or better.

And people, being what they are, essentially retarded, are going to view the lifting of lockdown as some sort of "all clear" and behave predictably.

We will be staying the fuck in and watching to see how it goes.

Please, tell me this is only a Rambo themed LARP gathering (I really have to ask, one never knows in Trumpistan)

[Edited to add]: Now if they would be singing Alabama 3's "Mao Tse-Tung said change must come, Change must come thru the barrel of a gun" - that would be a priceless moment to record.

It's a blind de-escalation, they play everything to a card.

[Phil_S]

but we haven't been let out.

That's why no second wave.

Counter-point: they let people out in South Korea. Yet there is no second wave.

Marcus is not even close to roach, and he is merely presenting information that differs from your own opinion about the virus and it's impact.

Surely, there is some incorrect information out there, and there is also some difference of opinion regarding which information is more important - therefore conclusions reached will be different based upon which evidence is given greater weight.

Not sure if you noticed, but marcus keeps mentioning super-scary "second wave of covid-19" like it's a proven thing that's coming to kill more and more.

That is called speculating.

Any adult reader should be able to recognize that any of us need to come to our own conclusions regarding how much weight to give to any person on the interwebs including their evidence and logic for positions that they take.

I am not saying anything new to assert that this is a fucking bitcoin related thread, so many of us are not even assessing how much knowledge or background any many of us might have in terms of making various medical or epidemiological claims.

Notably people are interested in the virus topic, even if it is NOT specifically about bitcoin, but individual members are going to choose how much to read posts about the virus and how they might relate to either bitcoin or if they happen to be interested in that particular important current event.

When it's just a hypothesis with no scientific evidence to back it up.

Now, who is exaggerating?  People study these kinds of things, so yes there is science... but whether you believe the science is credible or adequately backed by facts and logic might be another question, but asserting that there is "NO" science is inaccurate.

In fact, there is some evidence for "no second wave" hypothesis:



Two months after the first peak: still nothing. No second peak.

There is rarely NO such thing as one science or absolute conclusions... Sure some sciences are harder and based on things like math, but even in the harder sciences, there can be some disagreements - maybe not about the results of 1+5, but sometimes more complicated ways of calculating can be controversial in terms of whether they yield accurate and absolute results to describe the asserted phenomenon.

In other areas of science, especially if they involve a lot of variables, including human behavior, then there are going to be a lot more areas for debate and even clearly stating the premises or the assumptions.

Therefore, more complicated theories might end up having more support on one side versus another and even sometimes the predominant theories end up getting proven to be wrong by more minor theories. .. so fair enough to proclaim that one version, speculation, theory might have more evidence and logic backing it up than some other version, speculation, theory, but sometimes with anything that is involving ongoing gathering of facts and even theories that might shed light on the facts, then the more prominent or convincing theories might evolve through time.  Furthermore, some aspects of human behavior can end up changing the results, but those changed facts would not necessarily mean that the earlier theories were wrong, even if they ended up playing out in a different way based on changed behaviors.

LOL. Sad but true. It's like their Vietnam, except instead of fighting for the government, they're just drinking beers and waving their metal dicks around at the government.

"Grandkids, ever tell you about the time me and uncle Earl stormed the state capitol and won back our freedoms?"

"Yes paw-paw."

"Thank me for your freedoms, kids."

"Thanks paw-paw."

The situation in Michigan is genuinely fucked up. Their governor has gone off the deep end, and is drunk with power. She's gone full-retard.

She sold all her bitcoin? Idiot

That is called speculating.

Yet people like marcus keep presenting "second wave of covid-19" as a sure thing, that's coming 100%. When it should be treated as a wild speculation.

When it's just a hypothesis with no scientific evidence to back it up.

People study other viruses, but for covid-19 specifically there is no science on the "second wave".
Not a single country is experiencing "second wave" right now, despite very different lockdown policies.
Enough time passed since the first peak.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

The Battle of Vegeta continues... currently $8757USD/$12328CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Had to sell a coin today to take care of business in Toronto. I always hate to sell any Bitcoin but I got $8.85kUSD. That's a lot better than a half a week ago and almost $100 more than now so I can't bitch.

That's the beauty of Bitcoin. It's not about buying consumer crap. It's about sending decent amounts of money internationally cheaply, safely, and quickly. Sitting in the Mexican jungle taking care of business in Toronto during a pandemic lockdown.

Thank you Bitcoin.

Sometimes, politicians need to be reminded about who they represent. 🧐🍷

Don't you just hate insubordinate servants?

Maybe I am getting lost in this discussion because I don't know why it matters so much what the fuck Marcus thinks and what he posts.   The equating him to roach is way the fuck off base, and whether you believe that he is merely speculating, wild speculating or that he has some facts/logic to back up his posts/assertions seems to be merely a matter of degree, and perhaps differing opinions.  Several of us have differing opinions, even when we might agree about various matters, no one here necessarily agree on everything, unless we are incapable of any critical thinking.  There is no real requirement to agree... except sometimes we might get rid of some troll/shills if we agree that they are full of shit, and you want to put Marcus in such category seems quite absurd based on what I have seen from him so far, unless maybe I did not look closely enough?

It's probably a bit too early to have strong facts on that.  I have heard some assertions that there may be some cover up of the degree of additional incidents in China.. and there has been some suggestion of second wave in Italy.. so even if I am not making any assertion one way or another, any assertion regarding NO evidence in this particular case seems both premature and not even based on epidemiological studies regarding how the spread of disease (whether virus or otherwise) actually work, whether we are are referring to this particular virus or other diseases (which remains a kind of evidence that might have some informative contribution to understanding this particular situation).

Not a single country is experiencing "second wave" right now, despite very different lockdown policies.

You might be correct regarding some lacking of enough evidence to make a claim about the existence of a second wave, yet seems like we disagree about whether enough time has passed to reasonably arrive at such a conclusion.

By the way, I do understand why there is so much anxiety regarding trying to get things back to as good of a "normal" as we can, because it is quite likely that with the greater passage of time with various degrees of lockdown, some industries (and of course people) are going to be more greatly affected in negative ways from such ongoing lack of attempting to move towards "normal."
