FTFY:But between people who call it a hoax, and people who overact to it a little with insane panic? The first set are the idiots. Why not both? The real problem is simpletons with absolutely binary thinking: Either Covid must be treated as the new Black Death, or Covid does not exist. How about some nuance and rationality?
P.S., The trick with Covid is it is so contagious that just about all of us are going to get it. And that means that <1% who it kills? There are a lot of them. That hearkens back to my own first public statement on Covid. Guess what, 100.0% of humans die—and as you yourself noted, people are going to get Covid anyway. Obsessive fear of Death destroys life, especially if it parlays a not-very-scary Plague into very-scary Famine. And/or War. Dear readers of the forum:
Some of you will die from the coronavirus. (—Some few of you: The virus has low lethality except to the aged or otherwise frail.) The virus may kill me, too; maybe, maybe not. That is acceptable: Life is risk, and death is a part of life. My only sadness is that sometimes, the worst befalls the best of people.
What is unacceptable is panic, bureaucratic “do something!” tyranny, and worst of all, hybris.
I hereby use an archaic spelling for the subject of a principle long forgot. The only difference between using a six shooter then playing Russian roulette with it and going to parties and bars is the math. 1 in 6 vs 1 in 100000 if you are young and truly healthy. Most won't play the 1 in 6 game and right now too many play the 1 in 100,000 game. In a years time there will be treatments for it that are not vaccines. Regeneron comes to mind. So why not play it safe for a while. Now this is a 63 year old typing not a 28 year old. This! Exactly my thoughts! Why risk it? According to some reports Covid ruins your balls. I'm 39 now and I wouldn't want to miss out the hookers part of hookers/lambos/blow when we'll hit 100k next year.... ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

What does it mean, bitebits? The early miner seems to be splitting his 50btc block rewards into 10btc chunks. Speculating about the why, maybe to slowly DCA out on the way up without jeopardizing 50btc at the time on an exchange? Plausible since the miner is holding onto those private keys since 2010, clearly not trusting a third party. And obviously extremely bullish long term, clearly believing at prices way above the previous ATH because he would have sold long ago otherwise. Even at $100k a 50btc block is worth $5 million, which can easily be considered too much at once to sell and expose to an exchange and bank. The 2010 miners were quite likely not rich by any means at the time, a 50btc block is likely still more than just pocket change to them. Why not just send 10btc to an exchange and 40btc to a change address at the time of selling? Don’t know, maybe he wil just hand over the private key to an OTC desk? Or maybe he is preparing to be able to sell the BCH and BSV forks? The BCH moved as well, the BSV did not.

This Trump assessment was right, the problem was that the conclusion he made : do less tests ! That was of course totally stupid. There should be a way to emphasize the difference between now that we have massive testing capacity, and the early part of the pandemic. Because right now when looking at COVID cases over time things look really scary, but looking at people in hospital with COVID, much less scary.

Meantime this is a pretty good compilation of modern conspiracies. Where do we fall on this spectrum? (Hint: I hit the "Hollow Earth" level myself) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FJ10TNOl.jpg&t=665&c=foRcTs55S5zACg) Interesting that they consider Covid being made in a lab as a lower probability than Elvis still being alive. That was surely worded poorly, Should be Covid doesn't exist. There is also a big difference between "COVID escaped from a lab" which is quite possible, but only some Chinese people know for sure, and "COVID was made in a lab". Conspiracy theorists will take any hint the former happened to jump to the latter.

The message is "Bitcoin is the King!"I took a few top and old altcoins for this dataset. If you need more, you can ask!
- Data source: https://coinmarketcap.com
- Price: is low of daily price
- Bitcoin pumps: % changes between 2 consecutive days >= 5%
- Bitcoin dump: % changes between 2 consecutive days <= -5%
FINDINGS- In 2020, so far, there are 14 pumps and 11 dumps (based on above definitions) from bitcoin
- Bitcoin does perform stronger than altcoins.
- When bitcoin pumps, altcoins increase less than bitcoin. (look at p50)
- When bitcoin dumps, altcoins fell deeper than bitcoin. (look at p50)
OverallEasily to see that the time-series of pclowBTC is almost overlapped and covered by others. It means generally the percent changes of BTC are smaller than of altcoins (in this dataset). For specific coin

Correction for my past work. It is a shame that today when I played with data again, I found a bug in my code for past update. I am sorry for this. You can ignore that post (data validity is unknow, I took from another source).The newest one is correct and data validity is good (from coinmarketcap.com). So I am sorry again and enjoy today update. Yearly low price of bitcoin: - During the period of almost 8 years, the lowest yearly price of BTC has 7 years with increase (positive in percent_change), only has 1 year with a fall (negative in percent_change, at -40.7 % in 2015).
- Min and max percent of increase is 6.3% (2019) and 341.5% (2014).
- Also, see median_l, p25l and p75l (in statistics and in chart) to see the continuous growth (yearly low price) of bitcoin
- Make double check with another dataset from 2010 to 2020 that I made in WO
Raw results: +---------------------------------+ | year min_l percent_change | |---------------------------------| 1. | 2013 65.53 . | 2. | 2014 289.3 341.48 | 3. | 2015 171.51 -40.72 | 4. | 2016 354.91 106.93 | 5. | 2017 755.76 112.94 | |---------------------------------| 6. | 2018 3191.3 322.26 | 7. | 2019 3391.02 6.26 | 8. | 2020 4106.98 21.11 | +---------------------------------+

Tells you a lot about the author. Is George Soros financing US politicians ? Yes, like many other billionaires of all sides. That's not a conspiracy theory. The conspiracy is that he's part of the QAnon delirium with pedophilia, satanism etc. Deep state, what does that even mean ?
