Just my 25 öre on the mask thing. where I live (Sweden) there is no law requiring you to wear a mask, and nobody does. And if I'm correctly informed, the same goes for Norway Denmark and Finland, but I'm not entirely sure about that. The reason is that the Swedish "CDC" claims that there is no evidence of mask wearing in public having any effect, they do however say that it has effect in certain situations, for example in health care situations. You can read their recommendations for yourself here, not a word about wearing a mask. https://www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se/the-public-health-agency-of-sweden/communicable-disease-control/protect-yourself-and-others-from-spread-of-infection/I'm not getting in to a debate on weather they are right or wrong, just pointing out that it's not black or white, there are western civilized country authorities that don't promote mask wearing.

The idea of local private currency is not a new concept, see the Bristol Pound or the Utah Goldback note. However, that wooden scrip thing is completely vulnerable to counterfeit.

Nice link. I know of local community who tried to make a currency at the turn of the century, tourism souvenir value drove most of the demand, it was printed on some press difficult to counterfeit and accepted by both local businesses and banks. Popular in the beginning, not many had ever heard of such a concept, people had sovereign hopes but kinda just lost interest and died out somewhere around 2008. I've got one of the notes which are still accepted there (as far as I know).

Wow! Hey, I wonder what would happen if someone were to create a digital currency pegged to the US dollar and tried to use it as a means of exchange? edit: Could these wooden plaques function as a security?

A pretty good news source has just born:
I'll be interested to see what it comes out with but anything with Samson Mow involved has murdered its objectivity before it was born. He could do with getting a nice job on a fishing boat or something. Wanna elaborate? I'm not up on him.

Cut him and he bleeds Blockstream all over you. And he does it in a rather trollish manner. Not totally sure what my feelings are about the whole Blockstream thing, but he's one of those people who you already know what their point of view will be without having to check what they've actually said. Such people sideline themselves and everything they touch.

I wonder if any of these shit coin profits will end up being converted into King BTC? Shit coins are shit coins, they pump & inevitably dump, hopefully some of the profits find their way into bitcoin.

They always do, as soon as the ship starts to sink the rats all leave to hide in bitcoin.

I don't think so. Some people would rather like to make dumb investments, unfortunately.

If Sweden's health care system isn't overwhelmed, their actions on Covid have been successful. Preventing all deaths is unrealistic. It's not, in fact things are slowly returning to normal, all the temporary hospitals, including the MASH units are gone, in fact they were hardly used at all. The weird thing is that although we have the same preventive measures all over the country, the outcome varies widely. In Stockholm and some other places the numbers are high, but in other places such as Scania, where I live, that is densely populated, they are very low, lower even than in Copenhagen where they have a lockdown.

Had a few pages to catch up on, only to wade through and find a load of uninspiring back-and-forth about masks. What a snooze fest. There's enough of that on MSM. I'm not sure what's worse - the selfishness or the self-righteousness.
Think I'll sign off for a few weeks and let the masks/covid debates wear themselves out or bore everyone to death....

@LinaSeiche (I am strangely obsessed with her) ... @Excellion
Lost all respect for them over the gym friend bullshit. Excellion is a cuck, and Lina is nothing but a clout chaser providing zero value to Bitcoin space, other than whoring herself around.

I work hard at being a safe driver. I resent the deep state questioning my ability to drive safely.
As do I. Oh wait - you were being sarcastic, weren't you? (as long as we're all screaming at each other, I might as well join in)
