Hodl tight man. If you haven't seen bad symptoms yet, you likely won't. When it's bad, it's usually immediately bad. This pattern of yours hit two of my friends (one in her early 40s, the other in his late 50s). Both were out of it in just over one week, plus of course some time to get back to full baseline.

EDIT - No muscle/joint pain? That was the worst of the "light" symptoms apart from head splitting headaches. My older friend, a former athlete, said he'd never felt anything like that muscle pain, even in post-traumatic conditions.

I'm strongly considering quitting my job, and doing something, anything else while living off crypto for the foreseeable future. This is the first day of work after a 2 week break, and instead of being "refreshed" and ready to work, all I can think is the break wasn't nearly long enough. Despite finding the work deeply unfulfilling, my job is stable and pays pretty well (a quick Google search says I'm in the top 97% within my state).

Probably the biggest thing holding me back is losing the structure that comes with the daily grind. I'm not completely confident I have the necessary self-discipline to create my own structure over the long-term, and while there are a lot of things I want to do (contribute to open source crypto software, write a novel, go back to school, etc), there's the non-zero chance I end up wandering aimlessly without purpose until wasting away.

Has anyone else gone through this or a similar thought process? This might be the only place (that I know of) with people who could relate.

yeah it is weird . I was sick with it dec 31 2019 to jan 25 2020. fever on and off. my body felt black and blue and beaten on.

I was 63 when I caught it.
I have asthma
I have diabetes

And I did better with it then my wife. 91-93 on the o2 meter.  fever spiked hard one time 103 for 3 hours. with uncontrollable shakes. My skin felt hot and sweaty and my insides felt cold. Wrapped myself in 3 blankets and sweated that mofo out.

Once that one really hot shaking stopped fever was never over 99 and I was done with it.

For me this was not as bad as the h1n1 flu I had in 2009.

My wife on the other hand really has suffered long term lung damage which is just getting better after 1 year and 1 week since first getting it.

Good luck fighting this mofo bro.

Regarding paying taxes, this one is a bit older, but we can learn a lot from the big boys on how it is done right:

Germany foregoes ~500M EUR gift taxes on 1B stock gift:

The english article above says it is unclear how much tax he is going to pay, german media reports he is going to pay zip-nada-null because actually collecting the tax would have put the company in financial danger (his brilliant tax lawyer will probably get much more than the german tax authorities):

Justitia must be wanting to vomit more than she ever could eat..

Don't forget there are traders that don't sleep, trade 20 times a minute, every minute, every hour, every day. They also do so from a variety of signal sources, they always buy a dip, and sell a top. They rely on algorithms, are emotionless, and sometimes even do arbitrage across different exchanges at the speed of a block confirmation. They do all the tech analysis and quants and stuff at gigahertz speeds.

They are sometimes called bots. Trading bots. Selling bots. Buying bots.

Humans don't stand a chance. The only way to beat them is to buy now, sell later (or don't sell). Buy now, hodl for 5 to 10 years.

great for having you back here. but be carefull anyway!  #nohomo

Does WallObserver.tk work better on mobile?

Hey WO gang!

Thanks so much for your replies, I've read and appreciate every single one of them!

On the PC now, at last. WO is a pain to browse from the screen of a phone, let alone posting, quoting, etc. Should get a good tablet. iPad Air maybe? Why not, we're rich now, aren't we?

Still alive, confined at home monitoring myself. This has got to be the weirdest illness I've ever experienced in my entire life. Alternating wildly between feeling "OK" and having a fever and headache. No coughing, no shortness of breath. Not yet anyway. Hopefully never.

Got an oximeter as suggested. Readings look good (alternating between 97% and 98%). I read that 94% is the warning threshold, so all good. I'm quite fit, exercising regularly, not taking any medication, etc. This should help me win this fight.

On topic. I see we had a correction for ants, which is already bouncing back up and has entered the typical decaying oscillatory response. Based on what I've seen so far, I'd say it will either go sideways for a little while and then shoot up, or it will shoot up straight away. We'll see. I'm happy either way. Shouldn't be too greedy. Once upon a time I was aiming for 10k € and we're now at 25k+ €...

I read the post with the news about Bitcoin "losing steam" by dipping 10%. Really? Don't they know nuttin'? Are they embittered nocoiners? Paid shills? Rhetoric questions... Funny thing is that, as already noted, the news item hasn't aged so well, and very soon I see some nice memes being posted based on this.

Not selling a sat until I need to. No targets. Will sell when I need to. And as much as I need to. Will not fill the bank with fiat. Already have some there and they are now worth less than when they were put there.

Onwards & upwards.

HoDL.

burst of a pre bubble, IMHO. nothing to worry about.

The fact that even the S&P 500 could eek out a nice gain (as opposed to a heavy loss) in the worst economic year with the highest job loss since The Great Depression is so criminal that it's mind blowing, and should be very telling for the years to come.

I admittedly took that a bit out of context and fabricated that as a bit of a misleading teaser what you quoted (the "stonks will correct heavily soon").

What they asked him was if he bought stonks in 2020 and he didn't actually answer that but said instead that he already said a year before when corona wasn't a topic that things are overvalued currently and he expects a sizeable correction, not as much as in the corona crash this spring but since we are now mostly back to pre corona levels, around 20% from March 2020 prices wouldn't surprise him this time.

I agree that more USD = higher stonks prices generally but at some point eventually somebody is going to make some back of the envelope calculations and will be shocked to find out how overvalued some companies have become. But then again, we all know what the PPT is for and how the stock market must go up to keep the whole show running (debt, 401k and all that).

As I personally was never into stonks (and will never be), I'll just stock up on pop corn and watch how it works out from the sidelines.

The dollar won't collapse the way most people think it will. It will be a 'reset'.

What the Fed/Treasury will do is just one day out-of-the-blue announce a new "digital dollar cryptocurrency" (i.e., Fedcoin) that essentially replaces the old dollar, and everything will be rolled over to it. People won't get a choice to 'adopt' it, the banks will just do the conversion for everyone automatically and behind the scenes.

But it will be the fine print that Average Joe nobody will forget to read: the conversion rate from the old paper fiat dollar to the new Fedcoin will be something like 1.1 : 1. Or perhaps an even worse conversion rate.

Markets (due to the billionaire insiders) will front run this surprise announcement and go to the moon.

The Average Joes out there with lots of fiat savings will lose millions in purchasing power overnight.

he he he

A decade or two though? That seems quite the leisurely collapse.

My logic says that if the $ goes down then stocks will go “up” in number, because the companies and their assets will be worth more $s..

I agree with everything except the "stonks will correct heavily soon" part. They are indeed massively overvalued, but the Fed will keep money printer go brrr on the downlow every year from this point forward, sending stonks even higher. And at the end of every business cycle (7-9 years), they'll use whatever downturn "event" as cover to push trillions of $$$ through, giving Wall Street another massive injection. Next time it won't be just a few trillion though, it'll be more like $10-15 Trillion.

The melt-up will continue for at least another decade, maybe two. Rates will go negative in the U.S. and everywhere else.

Eventually the Fed and the Treasury will merge into one entity, and the nationalization (er, globalization) of the dollar printing machine will be complete.

That's some massive fight around 30k level!
BTW, voted for the poll T/A is shamelessly worthless! Better stick to the old plan B.
