The gas chambers this time around will be a softer gentler approach...

Vaccines utilizing radical new technology that's never been tested will do the trick in a much easier way. They're already implementing plenty of measures to ensure people get the vaccine without forcing them. But they will be given little to no choice.

A softer, gentler gas chamber?

Hm.

[ivomm]

I´m about to puke..

We dont deserve this 2 days before halving..

Welcome to the club. Want some more puke-cocktail?

Is this you r0ach? Where is mindrust and what have you done with him? After a 2.65x increase since the bottom at 3.8K a month ago, this was the second small correction - a 15% flash sell of which half was immediately recovered. Come on, even stocks and fiat take such dips, especially in the last months. And besides, puking never stops anyone from enjoying the roller coasters, right?

If you get news from the broadcast media then you are correct, we are not in the same world.

I think you are falling prey to your own preconceptions about people that might not wholly agree with you.

My primary newsfeed (well, after last of the V8s) is ZeroHedge.  I usually check bbc.com/news/world just to see what the mainstream spin is, but I find its liberal bias rather obvious.  I also like to stay abreast of Hackaday and KrebsOnSecurity.

I am almost entirely isolated from broadcast media.

I find your lack of recognition of any nuance a little off-putting; either you are with Elwar or you are with the tyrants.

Supporting the hype while understanding history can only mean that you want concentration camps and gas chambers. If you can't see the obviousness of it all then you're only supporting tyranny via ignorance.

I am disappointed Elwar.

I love your past work, and I hear your frustration, but you have recently taken to talking past without actually engaging.

talk rivaling Mr Wordy...

 

Whoa, Well, from that viewpoint it seems pretty complicated. But if I make an analogy with the development of Linux maybe in the long term there will be GUI`s more user friendly like Ubuntu

Yes.  This is my point basically.  That it *is* still overly complex for prime time.  But on the other hand some of the mobile wallets with neutrino are getting pretty killer.  Breez or Phoenix for example.

There's much more to this, but i'd need "JJG superpowers of texting" to express all this in a meaningful way, i guess

Maybe you could hire JJG as your personal wordsmith.

FTFY

In my perhaps delusional thinking, I only work for free.....

This would likely make things worse, because it'd be still me having to explain him what's the matter on each topic.
No, this is not the same thing.
Or you just tried to be ironic, maybe? 

Exactly, OOM...   Getting me to convey your ideas is NOT likely to work out, swimmingly..... largely because of the dynamic of jojo's earlier posted meme....

Here's to cheating, stealing and drinking.
For if you cheat, may you cheat death. And if you steal, may you steal a maiden's heart, and if you drink, MAY YOU DRINK WITH ME!

Cheers WO !

Nice moves again, I will not sleep it seems, earning some sats and fiat instead.

This is great... Everything sounds better with a NYC accent. The amount of spittle that flew from his mouth could fill a Dixie cup. But I mean, it makes perfect sense to me, and I don't even have mortgage payments.

Every taxpayer can relate to this, no matter where they live.

Haha, love it. "Do the right thing you peckerheads!"

"Peckerheads" Haha it was alien word to me before.

outstanding!

how do I vote for this guy?

First, people need to accept that they voted for the wrong Newyorker.

BTW the 1200$ check was even sent abroad to people who worked 6 months in the US last year as bartenders and the like...

You are lying mindrust. #nohomo.   You do not feel bad about our recent dramatic BTC correction.   No way, jose.

Any kind of dramatic BTC correction should be making you feel MOAR better than you had (almost even on a path towards self-righteousness), and if we could do another 50% or more correction from here, then you will feel even moar better than that.

I would ONLY hope that if the rest of us have to suffer through another 50% BTC price correction in the coming weeks or months, then at least you should do us a favor in at least jumping mostly back in... even if you only come in 50% to 75% and save the rest of your fiat, just in cast this baby corrects even further than another 50% from here, at least many of us will feel better that you have been kind of saved (even if you end up losing some of your previous position, you would not becoming close to a nocoiner like, roach, jonoiv and stolfi).

I don't recall ever engaging in this thread.

Not a good sign, Elwar.

Delusions of self-grandeur tends to be the downfall of a lot of otherwise decently good peeps.

Trump tweets more than 100 times in one day as coronavirus death toll nears 80,000

Anyone following the halving trend knows Bitcoin takes a dip early halving cycle. $10k was also obvious resistance for the perfect drop.

[noguy9319]

I'm not sure why I have to keep bringing this up for every "crisis" but...if you people that hate freedom would quit using every crisis as an excuse to institute even more tyranny (like you did with the last crisis) then those of us who love freedom wouldn't be fighting you on this.

You could say "hey gang, this virus is bad...we should all socially distance" and we'd be like..."that sounds reasonable, we can do that temporarily then get back on with things as they were before". The crisis would pass, things would go back to normal.


But instead it's "hey dissenters, stay at home or we'll arrest you...also we need to institute a new normal where drones are flying around monitoring everyone and we're spending $1 trillion a week while deciding who can work and who cannot"...to the response of "fuck your crisis...we don't believe anything you say".

Remember that for the next crisis...because you'll care oh so much about people in the next crisis too and we will yet again not follow along with your ideas about how "everybody should do X".

This is actually a great formulation of my thoughts from another direction.

I often come into conflict with folks approaching from the "conservative" side whose logic seems to be;

if - crisis is being used to consolidate power

then - crisis is made up bullshit

Sorry, but this logic does not hold water.  Rahm Emanuel's infamous chestnut is perhaps the most flagrant illustration that the powers that be will, in fact, use ANY crisis, conjured or terrifyingly real to further their designs.


Elwar, I accept your thesis that the forces of neoliberal globalism have squandered their credibility through repeated exploitation of crises.  I further accept that this complicates our response.

Do you accept that some of these crises may, in fact, be real??

I accept that those that support freedom need to downplay the crisis out of necessity. I also accept that those that support tyranny need to unnecessarily overhype the crisis.

Hence, you go up and down your Facebook page and see the same people posting low COVID death numbers who also post links to how maybe Iran didn't do <insert bad thing the US claims they did to push for WW3>.
The same people screaming about millions of possible deaths are the same ones that say that the PATRIOT Act was a perfectly reasonable response that is still necessary 20 years after 19 individuals orchestrated an attack.

People would not need to downplay the numbers if they knew that those that want to control their lives were going to try to use the crisis to control their lives. People who want to control your life would not be overhyping the numbers if they had some dogs they could torture to keep their appetite satiated for power.

Now...if people who truly are all about this COVID thing being an actual true threat that they believe in their hearts is going to end humanity (and they get past the fact that they don't really care about humanity going away)...then they should propose free market solutions that would give people more freedom while fighting the virus.

Propose ways to save lives and save us from a deadly virus while at the same time decentralizing power and empowering individuals. If you care...this is what you do.

"Propose ways to save lives and save us from a deadly virus while at the same time decentralizing power and empowering individuals. If you care...this is what you do."
That's the dream brotha!

Interesting article which helps explain the difference in how Democrat and Republican voters perceive the threat from coronavirus.  

Objectively speaking, the urban / rural divide has led to very different experience with Democrats more likely to suffer from the virus directly, and Republicans more likely suffer indirectly from the lockdown measures.  This has tended to exacerbate the partisan divide.
