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.

Fiat is dirty with Ebola, use Bitcoin!

Ebola won't last long without human body, so fiat isn't a problem..

That's a good one! The only way ebola can be confined to hospitals is if the powers that be quit allowing nurses to travel in locked up tubes with hundreds of other passengers sharing the same sweaty toilet seats. The only saving grace would be if said nurses had aisle seats with the middle seats vacant, lacking the latter caveat decreases the odds of that occurring below 33%, dividing that percentage by the number of nurses that traveled said way, with one being one too many.

I specifically recall reading that the hospital in Dallas just went through some extensive ebola training prior to Eric Duncan's first visit, at which time he was sent home. Now, I'm reading that the very same hospital DIDN'T have any formal training to treat ebola patients.

What I'm witnessing is a clan of folks fucking up the coverup, all the while fucking up the actual spreading of ebola, not even able to get that right.

They know they're doing it. We know they're doing it. They know that we know that they're doing it. So, why don't they just accelerate the process and do it?

Guize, if i make an Ebolacoin, how many of you will buy in?

We can use the proceeds to fund ebola production, or something.

Bitcoin......The Safe Currency!!!

This could really convince people to use BTC, especially if the Ebola scare keeps getting bigger. I'm hoping Ebola goes away and BTC finds other ways to spread.  Smiley

I don't think it will have any potential positive impact on bitcoin.

The only way I see it potentially affecting it is indirectly by people being scarred to catch Ebola so they stay at home and do not go out shopping which would cause an economic downturn which would cause less bitcoin related transactions to take place

We can start a "Seans Outpost" like charity for Ebola victims-fueled by Bitcoin~
I don't think this would be necessary, at least not yet. Receiving payments/donations is one of a charities smallest expenses as banks generally will give some kind of a discount for credit card processing and banking services so they will not have the huge costs that most retail stores have in accept fiat based payments

Too bad Satoshi bailed-out on us (thanks Gavin). I'd love to hear his views on this subject. Tongue

Isn't the correct word, "effect" in the context it's being used?
