Yes you are completely right, I was on a shit reporting drive and mixed up your avatar with that other Bitvest participant Indymoney god dammit shame on me! Hope my publicly apologizing here (+per PM) is sufficient to you, it won't happen again!
...
out of merit, will do later.
it is a global crisis of a century. a natural disaster (well, scope-wise, not saying it did not escape from some lab) that affects all human beings on the planet. this virus is so contagious that every single human being on this planet will have to deal with it. you either get it because of infection or in form of a vaccine. the immune systems of all human beings must cope with it. no way around that. i know i rather wait for the vaccine. it is there, it just needs to get produced on scale and distributed.
in my opinion, without the internet, we would have all ran havoc by now. tech is saving us. (it is possible that tech also got us there, i dont know)
for bitcoiners it is very weird to see the world almost falling apart while bitcoin is getting so valuable. the whole world went in kind of forced hibernation. when covid winter is over, we will make it out of our caves. it will be beautiful to meet again. humankind will have a party. the little bonus for bitcoiners is the amount of financial independence they gained.
for some areas, like for example where i live, the darkest hours are yet to come. but the silver lining is clearly visible, and it is real.
we will pull through. this is the crisis, but we will make it. hodl bitcoin and stay healthy. the rewards are breathtaking.
edit:
new ATH before February 14th. i take bets.
Could be tomorrow or Tue.
That said, there is a large increase in depression levels everywhere.
My coworkers (all working remotely) are reporting exhaustion.
This is what 10 mo of stress does to you. There is only this much adrenalin.
I am more concerned whether we basically going to normality only much later.
I already hear that we should still wear masks even AFTER getting vaccinated.
Well, maybe until most people are vaccinated as to not hurt their feelings of safety, but once >90% are done, f-k it, I would not wear a mask.
It would make no sense.
Agree, still masks would make sense for workers in animal farm buildings, and for people like me, who are catching almost every virus easily each winter.
This is the first winter since decades that i don't have caught a viral infection.
Now, i'm not a defender of mass-masking, to make that clear, but there are some developments in research, like nasal enzyme sprays that attack viruses at the entry to our body. I will use these in the future for sure, because i already suffered from years of post-viral-fatigue and that is something nobody ever wants to experience or even repeat.
What i hope for, at the very best for our global culture is that nations and cultures unite to stand as one against the next global crisis. This one is showing us the very weaknesses of society, health systems and economy. Party? YES! But we should evolve and be prepared, next time when whatever may come to threaten our lifes and values.
On the Bitcoin and crypto field, i hope the waves will even out a bit soon, there's obviously some heavy shorting and selling going on, and increased demand should break this. I can now sit back and watch the show, just buy the occasional dip if there will be free fiat on my account. Easy
