Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[JayJuanGee]

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still stuck in the mid-$9xxx doldrums... currently $9555USD/$12915CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Tumbling tumbleweeds. Need moar coffee please.

Nothing like M0ar corporate welfare to bail out the so called capitalist leaders of the world that can't stand on their own 2 feet.

Corporations are just collectivist organizations like banks, communist parties, unions, or religions.

Not all entities are the same, including what motivates their powers, even if in the media or legal system, they sometimes might be clumped as if they were the same thing.

Similar to bitcoin.. it is not the same as other coins, even though sometimes it is clumped as if it were the same.  Minor details that I do not have time, right now, to explain.  ...

Silver is anti bacterial, pretty magical but its for bad burns and difficult wounds that might go sceptic.   Ingesting silver or gold, I'm thinking of some case where a dude turned blue I think silver can prove toxic as it has some reaction.    Gold is used on food in Japan and a couple other places, imo dull but if any metal is going to be ok I guess its a non reactive one but silver we know does oxidize some.    Silver in tanks of water is used to slow down fungi growth, bacteria when we still had useful money i read the silver coins were used in bottles of milk to slow the spoil from bacteria.   I wouldnt eat one though :p

We still use silver based pills for water tanks in boats and campers. Hospitals use it in their water systems to fight certain diseases. It was used for holding drinking water even in ancient civilizations. Sailors threw silver coins in their water barrels.

401ks have become a complete scam, the people just don't realize it yet. They just believe what they are told by their parents, family members, and "financial experts". Why do you think that 401ks lock peoples money in until they are 65 years old? There is a huge reason for that.

Become? When were they not? 401k was always a way to get rid of pensions, which seemed to work (well as long as you don't change the rules in the middle of course) and in that scam they succeeded amazingly well. Remember, retirement is a negotiated item and term of employment, it's never a *gift*. You took that retirement agreement instead of taking more money.

I guess you were asleep for 8 years while Obama and the Democrats were "raiding SS funds and using the IOU's to fund the market" ? Not saying they were the first though, both Rep and Dem administrations have been doing that for decades now. SS and pensions have become two of the largest Ponzi scams to date.

Use care, remember the R's happily created fake money (CDOs and such) in 2000-2008 and used that to "fund" the "economy". When that collapsed the hole was filled by the D's with fake printed money cash, but the debts were incurred under the friendly Bush administration.

I hold R's to a higher standard because they profess to be "fiscally responsible". Well, at least when they are not in power, of course.

Nope.

Yeah. I wonder if prostitutes are subsidized by the Govt at this point. That used to be a pretty free market. Ah well.

And India and China are going to war. Bullish for Bitcoin?

Yup, sure the fuck looks like a religion to me.

While I think that Torque's assertion that COVID is a "manufactured emergency" is a complete crock of shit, I do think that the stock markets are no longer "markets" in the traditional sense. When junk bonds (totally unsecured, trash) are bought by the government using the "money" of the "people" we have ceased to have a market that rewards innovation and punishes ineptitude. There is no more risk so companies should make the crappiest decisions possible to increase short term reward to the stockholders. When things go bad stockholders win by making the money machine go brrrrrr....

So consider COVID a convenient excuse, replacing the "well, we have to elect Trump at any cost, so the US taxpayer should fund his re-erection".

The next logical step of course is for the government to only invest in "right" companies. The reason for this is we certainly wouldn't want money going to abortion clinics (R) or gun companies (D) or whatnot. At which point the only fundamental axiom that will matter to the "market" is that of political pull.

The depressing part is this outcome sits at the feet of the mighty 401k: Once you set the perception that if the "market" fails you will be eating dog food in retirement it simply becomes another socialized version of "social security". The fact that well connected people (ie: pull) will profit handsomely from this is simply a "cost of doing business".

I believe this is why the Republicans always wanted Social Security to be invested in the market. However they seem to have accomplished their goal by raiding SS funds and using the IOU's to fund the market anyway. Ah well....

Wonder if any free markets exist in the world, aside from bitcoin.

Well said.

Silver indeed has antibacterial properties. I was prescribed topical silver treatment along with iodine-based treatment (not at the same time!) for a bad leg infection several years ago. It also has its dangers. When the wound specialist at the hospital found out that one of the nurses at the wound clinic had used silver on me without consulting her first, she hit the roof and stopped the silver use immediately. After running a series of tests, she restarted the silver treatment but at a lower concentration. Silver is not something for self medication. See a doctor.

There are many pseudo-sci cultists who think that colloidal silver is some kind of panacea. There is little or no scientific evidence to support most of this nonsense. It's really just an invitation to argyria (blue skin).

I used to believe that as well. But all you have to do is watch their actions, not their words.

Trump first raised the debt ceiling without so much as a whimper, proclaiming "I don't even know what's in the bill, I haven't read it. I'm going to sign it, but I'm not gonna do it again." Then when the time came to make a stand and *not* sign the $3T relief bill, he signed on the dotted line without hesitation. Didn't even push back or complain about it.

Fiscally responsible my ass.

Rep and Dem presidents, they're ALL in on it with the Fed, Central Banks, and globalist elites. They have to do as they are told and sell it to the American people as a "necessity".

A month and a half sitting in this range, lets go!

[yefi]

The long incubation times and high percentage of healthy and younger people unaffected when catching the disease almost guarantee there will be a second wave because social psychology of locking people up for flattening the curve of the second wave is now basically impossible. The hospitals will probably become overwhelmed and it will run its course with high CFR. Unless there are discoveries of vaccines or therapeutic treatments that can keep people who would have been previously severely affected people out of hospital in sufficient numbers. Hopefully disease tracing, public information of preventative measures and surge capacity in hospitals have had time to expand greatly but Western public institutions seem to be in a corrupt shambles globally.

First we go too loose and twiddle our thumbs while the virus is breaking out. Then we go too tight and lock everyone in their homes to do solitary. Now we go too loose again and allow mass congregations. (Because we gotta battle those metaphorical pandemics, yo!)

To muse, it took over two thousand years of civic administration to reach this level of sophistication.

2020 will simply do not stop with surprises. I heard 30 Indian soldiers went missing yesterday. Only god knows what is the status today.

Indians and Chinese were playing dumb charades in Galwan Valley, Ladakh for quite some time. Face off is pretty normal in between both countries which turned violent in recent face off, when soldiers got into hand to hand combat (no report of bullet fired). so far 20 and 43 casualties on Indian and Chinese side respectively according to Indian sources/interceptor. Chinese officials are not disclosing numbers as they don't want to escalate things more according to Chinese source. First loss of life in at least 45 years.

And India and China are going to war. Bullish for Bitcoin?

Nope, India can't afford any war in the current scenario.

Majority of sicknesses including Covid is nothing else as wrong nutrition.
Daily intake of about 70% alkaline and 30% acidic food and anyone is as strong as can be. Flu, Covid, Common Cold.... not a worry.

Like a 2 component glue if mix according to instruction its hold well, if mixed wrong and 90% hardener is used or something crazy it will break at first sign of stress.

Acidic food: Seafood, Meat, Cheese, Grains (Wheat, Rye, Rice..), pasteurized food, Milk, Pale Beer, Carbonated drinks (sparkling mineral water, Coke...)
Alkaline  food: Fruit, Vegetables, Herbs/Spices, natural fermented food, Honey, Some Nuts (Chest, Pine, Coco, Hazel, Macadamia), Wine, Draft Beer, Stout Beer, Coffee, Tea...

What else is Acidic, Face Mask as exhaled CO2 (acidic) is partly re-inhaled because mask prevent it from being proper exchanged for fresh oxygen.

Healthy blood pH is 7.35 - 7.45 slight alkali, 7 is neutral, 0 max acid, 14 max basic (alkali), log scale

 WTF kind of weird science are you on?  Last time I checked, the neutral level on the pH scale was 7.  Anything below was considered acidic and anything above was considered alkaline.  ALL fruits and vegetables have a pH of less than 7, most fruits are extremely acidic.  Did you just make this up today?  This is surreal.  Please stop "helping" us.

N.B. It's a good idea to eat fruits and veggies. Do not ingest glue and/or hardener or subject yourself to stresses that will break you.
disclaimer: I am not a pharmacist.

Isn't pseudoscience hilarious?

What's next? Colloidal silver cure-alls? Turmeric with cider vinegar for longevity? The anti-carcinogenic effects of chanting mantras?

I was already laughing before I even got to the part about fruits being alkaline. Lawl.

I think I prefer actual double blind controlled experimentation, analysis of the microbiological chemistry of pathogens, and development of blockers for necessary chemicals required by these pathogens.

Yes, good diet is important but that has nothing to do with pH hocus-pocus. It has more to do with a good variety of fresh foods in moderation, with minimal processing.

I am still laughing, will be for a little while.
Calling a multi year scientific study with 100000 participants, pseudoscience is someone who lost track of life and reality.

Wishful thinking and fuzzy logic, if you want to lump all of those different kinds of organizations together in order to make some kind of vague assertion about reform or pointing fingers or some other vague wishful-thinking bullshit point.

This little list is just the tip of the iceberg. I could go on and on.

I find it interesting that Wikipedia, which tries to maintain objectivity by presenting both sides in a debate and is vetted by a worldwide community, has chosen to include it as part of the "Alternative and Pseudo-medicine" series.

There are many pseudo-sci cultists who think that colloidal silver is some kind of panacea. There is little or no scientific evidence to support most of this nonsense. It's really just an invitation to argyria (blue skin).

Fun fact...
Colloidal silver is used to force female cannabis plants to produce pollen. When this pollen is
used to pollinate other females the resulting seed is “feminized”... i.e the seeds will only
generate females.
Always wondered how the phuk some genius came up with that seemingly insane concept (but it works)

Cool. You learn something every day.

I always wondered how they "feminized" seeds. I'd thought that maybe it was just a case of identification and selection or maybe hormone treatment.

Induce hermaphrodism and let y-chromosome deficiency (sorry girls) do the rest. Makes sense.  

Still doesn't explain why the silver induces the hermaphrodism though.
