In response to @btcbeliever's claim that hydroxychloroquine has a 99+% cure rate https://pharmaphorum.com/news/big-uk-trial-says-hydroxychloroquine-has-no-effect-on-covid-19/The largest trial to date on hydroxychloroquine has concluded it has “no beneficial effect” when used to treat patients hospitalised with COVID-19.
As a consequence the multidrug RECOVERY trial – by University of Oxford researchers led by Professors Peter Horby and Martin Landray – will stop enrolling patients in the hydroxychloroquine arm, but will continuing treating subjects in the other five arms.
The 11,000-patient study comes on the back of a drip-feed of negative clinical results with the anti-malarial drug in coronavirus from smaller trials in coronavirus patients.
Last week, for example, a study also found that hydroxychloroquine had no benefit when used prophylactically in patients exposed to someone with an active coronavirus infection, while an earlier Chinese study in the British Medical Journal found no benefit in COVID-19 patients admitted to hospital with persistent mild to moderate symptoms. Much better and cheaper options available anyway. At the end of the day everyone needs to decide whats best for him. Bitcoin gives only option for financial independence. Everyone also needs to manage his own life in every other aspect. If someone is of the opinion to put health issues in the hands of someone who gets rich the sicker or more sick people there are, so be it.

Last night I had a long chat with a really good friend of mine, who lives very far away from me (he's Chinese Malaysian). He told me that he has fallen in a kind of depressed state, because of unstable employment, financial difficulties, family and personal matters. He sounded very depressed actually, long pauses of silence, to the point of losing hope for the future, and we all know where that can lead to... Made me very sad...
Many years ago, my friend bought nearly 3 BTC for $1100, after I told him about it, and recommending him to buy as much as he could. He wired the money to me and I bought 2.7-something BTC for him, from the very same Bitcoin ATM that I bought my first BTC for $220. I helped him over the phone to install a wallet, and transferred the BTC to him. That was to be my very first long-distance transfer! We were both really excited at the time, talking for hours about the tech, the implications, the possibilities.
Why am I saying all this? Because last night, just before hanging up, I told my friend that those 3 BTC will save his life. And soon. He was a bit reluctant to believe me (lost hope, even in Bitcoin), but the phone call ended in a positive note, thanks to Bitcoin. I'm really looking forward to the time when he will be free from wage slavery and be able to enjoy his riches (because 3 BTC will be a major amount of wealth, especially in Malaysia, and anywhere really). Told him to check out his wallet, verify the seed, make sure it's all OK (coins still in his mobile phone, hasn't even claimed his BCH/BSV yet).
Probably a boring post, but I just felt like sharing it here...
Not boring at all, you have very succinctly captured what life is all about - the ups and the downs. You are a good friend.

Guys just relax about covid19. Its an old story that did not what it was planned to do. In 2 months we get a new pandemic. Swine Flu and 1918 Spanish Flu had sex and made a baby. And Bill and his wife are very happy about whats coming soon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP6_gy-MIEMedia started the fear factory and preparing us for it.

Now here this. High Command has just granted a requisition from the 81st Airborne to modify its company patch and forever more be called Phinneas's Fighting Squirrels. Further more High Command believes this bold act demonstrates the finest traditions of initiative and that go get'em attitude that the rank and file of the Wall carry into battle daily. In recognition of this gallant and selfless act the afternoons PT run will only be 90 minutes instead of the usual 2 hours..for today only. That is all. #stronghands

The usa count of cases is absurd. Counting anyone with any cold symptoms, and 15 or so others associated with as cases. The death counts are also wildly deceptive, not only counting every cause of death as covid, but also death by ventilator, blowing out pride lungs, and discrediting/withholding hydroxycoroquine, having a 99+% cure rate. One huge scam.
There is NO DOUBT this situation is extremely nuanced, and in my whole life I have never seen the world in such a state of hyper-politicization. This is the BEST time to be a critical thinker who uses logic, and not emotion to come to conclusions. It is certain that a major factor in the # of cases in the USA is we are TESTING (publicly) that much more than many other places. Mortality also reflects this high testing rate, as the percentage of cases is going way down. I agree hydroxychloroquine as a prophylactic as well as an early treatment has been mostly ignored for political reasons. This is insane. The media of the US and the world has lost all credibility as they have become transparent in their divisive politicization of all things. The government has ALSO lost a great deal of credibility for many reasons, a great example is the no-mask/mask about face. Armchair quarterbacking has become a very busy sport. All that said. It is important to also face the FACT that Covid, in a small percentage of people, but in LARGE NUMBERS because of the high communicability absolutely RAVAGES the human body, and can do permanent damage to nearly all the vital organs. Patients can be witnessed expending ALL their physical strength just struggling to breathe. People who are otherwise healthy are taken out frequently. I do not CARE if any government says to wear a mask, or not wear one. I wear it myself, by my own volition. I also am limiting my exposure to public areas. i do not care if people think I am a sheep, or think I live in fear etc. I just want to keep myself, and my family healthy, and the rest of the world for that matter. It is a small price for me to pay to wear a mask when I go in public if it can even just POSSIBLY help dampen the spread of this and possibly even save lives. People need to THINK. And stop politicizing this as much as possible, in my humble opinion. I have no clue what your talking about, all we have to do is stop testing for this to go away. Critical thinking my ass.

Always share brother... new people can learn a lot from previous things that happened
Out of merit atm
Sorry
Thanks man. He doesn't follow BitcoinTalk/WO. Will show him the post when we reach 6 digits. Let it be a small record of his story. Hopefully he does not get shaken out of his coins. When people are acting a bit weird, they sometimes want to cash in and buy themselves something nice. I understand getting into bitcoin with a lump sum, but what about dollar cost averaging? He could continue to dollar cost average $50 per month or some modest amount so that he might continue to feel like he is active in his investment, rather than just waiting for it.

Well that was fun, the $9,400 bull trap is finally playing out that I've been banging on about for the past week Now to see which pattern plays out... not long to go now I don't think, about 10 days max by my estimates: Something's gotta give soon, the lower the volatility gets, the larger the break-out is the likelihood:

Good morning Bitcoinland. Still sideways... currently $9286USD/$12603CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Borrrrrrring. C'mon Bitcoin, let's rise up. all we have to do is stop testing for this to go away.
Everybody knows it's just a scam fabricated by the MSM to scare people into giving their hard-earned money to greedy doctors and transnational mask manufacturing corporations.
