Ebola's affect on Bitcoin?

[fa]

That's an interest topic. Maybe bitcoin will infect a lot of people just like Ebola did, but in a better way.

If I could send Ebola some Bitcoins and make it stop!

Anyone from the States need Ebola Proof Hazmat suits? Can do next day delivery.

lol why would be crazy? What will you do with the rest of your BTC, when you will get infected? Is worth 1 btc, not only 0.25.

Potentially if government becomes desperate due to uncontrolled outbreak and simply print fiat, btc might become useful.
Or btc becomes a medium of exchange whereby there is no risk of catching infection as what bodily fluids get passes on to paper money

In some countries these suits are not even available anymore, there is a very high demand for them.

People want to have them just in case...

with less people there wil be to much already existing money, so will be no printing at all.

I would like to see that, but he changed his sig.

I just noticed that all Bitcoin addresses that start with a 1 have been affected by Ebola. If yours starts with a 1, send your bitcoins to me and I will quarantine them for you.

[DarkHyudrA]

If he meant effect, then the best thing that can occur is a campaign so receive donations in BTC to help stop the spread of the Ebola.
Even if this happen, I would not be confident that it would rise the price.

I don't think Bitcoin will become infected by ebola.

lol

on a serious note tho, it is memorable when the technology of Bitcoin actually serves a good purpose and can provide resources without the shitty bureocracy:

http://www.coindesk.com/sierra-leone-group-continues-bitcoin-drive-fight-ebola/

The donation drive has raised a total of 3.173 BTC via two bitcoin addresses on its homepage and Facebook page.

if ebola does expand beyond US hospitals. then no one will want to touch other peoples bank notes, nor would people want to touch the buttons of keypads at cashier desks/ATM's

so bitcoin does have an advantage because you can scan QR codes at a distance without touching another person or item that 200 people a day may touch

But you have to touch the products you want to buy.

Hope the product is not touched by many people many times.

[Ruthful]

You  guys do realise that the Ebola virus can't survive very long outside of the human body ,right?The chances of  someone getting infected through bank notes is next to nil.

You actually have this backwards. all Bitcoin addresses that have been affected by Ebola start with a 1 (although it is actually more likely for a multisig address to be affected then a "traditional" address as they are, in theory controlled by more then one person). Not all Bitcoin addresses have been affected by Ebola.

Also it is not possible to "quarantine" bitcoin as it is fungible.

t's just that when it infects a lot of people already bitcoin, then they don't need doctors but needed a miner,
salesman and bitcoin ebola will not stop but at least it can reduce

[FeedTheDolphins]

Yeah "affect" is a verb whereas "effect" is a noun.  Since you're just making a statement, you'd want to use the noun form

[MakeBelieve]

No this would be a bad marketing scheme

Ebola seems to be negatively affecting the US stock market; I guess that is good for bitcoin.

If everyone in the banks dies, people have to use bitcoin
