Chimp chips?

I fail to see the point.
How often do you get cowpox after eating beef?

Dude, adenovirus (mutated so it does not grow) giving chimps snuffles is NOT animal DNA, it is viral DNA.
Viral (inactivated for growth) DNA has been used for decades as a vaccine vector with no trouble.

Yeah.... how often do you eat monkey sandwiches ?

Calm down.

I have no idea how it all came down, but after applying Occam's razor it might have looked something like this:
Government is running around with 'hair on fire' due to population at large and their precious markets starting panicking.
"What to to, what to do?"
"Here, we have a tech that CAN help"
"OK, let's do MINIMAL duration testing, then use it if we can't find anything immediately negative"
Wham, bam-population is vaccinated by multiple methods (mRNA was NOT the most common world-wide, but probably was in US).

BTW, there is nothing wrong with animal DNA as long as it is not expressed (produce animal proteins) in your blood.
Do you eat meat? It contains animal DNA, you know.
If someone is a human, than that's someone also have a pound of bacteria living in your gut. It also has it's own DNA, lol.

TL;DR they used the tech that was not tested for a decade, like usual medications/vaccines are. Maybe some side effect would come out because of this.

I just had a horrible thought.

Most adults in the US are not eligible for a Shingrex (Anti-shingles) vaccine until age 50.

It's being reported that what is believed to be Monkeypox is in fact Shingles outbreaks (Not stating this as fact, I just report what I read)

I want to start seeing age breakdowns of monkeypox infections, and correlations with MRNA vaccines at this point.

Monkeypox is incredibly difficult to spread, so something else is going on here.

EDIT: Yes, I know this belongs in that other thread. Fuck you.

Yes, maybe BTC was due for a drop but Terra Luna caused quite a big drop and maybe, if Terra Luna didn't exist, we would have stayed above 30k, a very important mark for Bitcoin. Now, we are barely mastering it and Bitcoin has some difficulties to conquer it back.






It is not misleading, it is about getting an impression of Fundamentals of Bitcoin and Bitcoin's technical relations to Altcoins.  




Yes!
I really try to be fair because we need to research properly about Altcoins before calling an Altcoin as Shitcoin.
I'm also not anti-science. I'm for a science-based research and hearing expert's opinions.
And when we start researching Altcoins, we can find out, also when we are hearing expert's opinions about Altcoins: Altcoins are very often very fraudulent, based on hype and based on marketing buzzwords but providing little to no value. Altcoin salesmen are even misleading interested people by talking to much positivity into an Altcoin.
We should be fair towards Altcoins, yes! But we should also be honest and reveal hard criticism based on FACTS.  

About Bitcoin being detached from Shitcoins, we have pro and con argumentes, see below, but technically, we need to say Bitcoin is 100% independent.
From an economic perspective, you are right, we have pro and con arguments, even if it's hard to make a quantitative assessment based on it.



Your point is very valid, and it's hard to make a quantitative assessment based on it.
But also, it is important to say, an appropriate market reaction would be if Terra Luna crashes, to make Bitcoin's price rise!
Because why?
Because Terra Luna or Terra Luna USD holders will flee out of Terra Luna or Terra Luna USD and will buy OFCOURSE BTC.
So, a crash of Terra Luna or Terra Luna USD should create more demand for Bitcoin and send BTC's price up!

At leat it would be a totally normal market mechanism and we should support it.

But instead, people are selling all sorts of coins because of FEAR. Also Bitcoin and Bitcoin isn't responsible and more important, Bitcoin is technically 100% independent.

It needs A LOT more education for people and we, as HODLers, should definitely advocate for it.




It was my point, it was not about admitting it.
Shitcoiners are known for a certain degree of shenanigans.  




I meant everyone who is advocating for a strong BTC.  
We, all HODLers.  

If I were to glance quickly, I would imagine seeing Bart standing on his head therein.


Well?  My whole post says your clarification part doesn't it?

POW.. is the essence.. and I otherwise stand by my post without really disagreeing with your supplementation - even though it seems that I had already said that, especially if you read further down my post.

Another thing is that even though I have been exposed to the bitcoin space for more than 8.5 years there are several of the technical matters that I do not really understand or proclaim to understand.... except maybe gaining some additional knowledge through osmosis... and maybe even sometimes starting to understand some technical definitions beyond seeing the word(s) over and over...  so in the end, surely I do have to trust the judgement and descriptions of a variety of others and also attempt to assess based on some conclusions that sound good to me if I sometimes can still recognize when some matters are being expressed in technical mumbo jumbo or some folks try to act like they have better conclusions based on some technical knowledge.. we have had some folks playing those technical cards over the years and sometimes not faring too well even when they are technically smarter, and the BIG blockers played those kinds of cards quite a bit.. even though they ended up being wrong... and of course, there were various ways that we could see that their attack on bitcoin was not really technical anyhow, but mostly a pretext.

You are lucky enough that you were able to find a pizza shop that accepts payment in Bitcoin. Even in Developed countries, Shops don't want to accept Bitcoin. I don't know where are you from. But, In my country, I never succeed while trying to buy something with Bitcoin from the local market. But, Yes, I did some transactions with my friends and they did with their friends too. I always ask my friends to HoDL their Bitcoin sats and I always refer them to PlanB's Model. Some of them believe me and some of them laugh at me.

While I believe in Holding, I also believe that we should try to spend some Bitcoins in the market so that it spreads around the world. If we don't spend a sats and keep holding and it doesn't move at all, Why companies should open a gateway to accept bitcoin if holders don't use the gateway?

Yeah, I have access to tomato sauce and bread. I don't have cheese things. But, Better than having nothing at this moment.

The funny thing I want to share:
If I go to my nearest shop to buy a sauce and ask him to accept payment in Bitcoin, The shopkeeper will ask me: "What?"
I won't dare to explain to him what Bitcoin is because it's already Mid Night here, and he will never understand what I am talking about. BTW, Thanks for reminding me about sauce and bread. I have to take a look on youtube about how to make a pizza. xD

Explanation

I think that is a good celebration too!

Do you have access to tomatoes (sauce?), cheese (preferably mozzarella, can use provolone in a pinch, or any other) and dough for bread?  If so, making a pizza is really quite fun, and easier than you might think!  And pizza, like so many of the worlds great foods is also a great way to use odds and ends of meats and vegetable leftovers you  might have.

Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day WO

The sad thing for me is that I live in a village, and there is no pizza shop in 30+ Kilo meters. So, I was unable to try a pizza today. Even if there was some pizza shop in my village, I don't think they would accept Bitcoin at this moment because 90% of the people in my village don't even know what Bitcoin is. I bought a GPU raiser yesterday from my friend. But, I paid him today in Bitcoin Via Coinbase. So, It's Bitcoin GPU raiser day for me.

Most restaurant here isn't accepting payment in Bitcoin for pizza, so I purposely keep going around to conscientize some restaurants here the need to start accepting payment in BTC, that today is pizza day and I insisted to make my purchase of pizza in BTC until I finally got one that accepted my pizza purchase in BTC, and it marks my first time to buy pizza with Bitcoin and it's such a fun day for me so far.
Seem the market reacted to my buys, because we got a little spike today and I got my pizza little cheaper before the spike. Lolz

Just to pick nits (which you cannot complain about! ) I feel your meaning... but along with pow we have to credit cryptographic primitives, blockchain, and the difficulty adjustment as being "pretty much bitcoin".  It's the combination of those things that make it work.  It MIGHT be possible to pull one out and replace it with something else... but no one has yet.
