I had not even noticed, but then again I had not been in any kind of practice of smelling my moneys


Edit:

By the way, jbreher.., since I have you "on the line"....

It must have been some damned busy weeks for you since about early to mid March and thereafter keeping up with your buy/sell orders.   Even I had been a wee bit busy during these times because the BTC price had been moving so much.. not only down but back up too and back down and back up, and my BTC buy sell orders seem to have higher spreads than yours and also higher increments... but still a bit busy for me...

Seemingly a wee bit more busy for me, than I would want, but of course, there has been stacking of what is hopefully going to be longer term profits.

On an additional working note: I did go through some readjustments of some of my more immediate buy/sell orders, though, in the past few days because I wanted to feel a bit MOAR better prepared for possible down, even though I am quite hoping that we do not experience any more sub $5k prices.. but in these kinds of ongoing uncertain times, it seems best to be prepared for those kinds of severe possibilities.. somewhat in the spirit of the mantra:  "hope for the best and prepare for the worst."

'acause it's still nasty fucking dirty, man. Can't even get the stink offa it.

Here's a link. https://www.rt.com/news/484073-putin-coronavirus-emergency-plan/
It's not written here the same way it was translated to me. I dunno, just the messenger.

Who is proposing that?  Link or it didn't happen.

Wait a minute, belt buckles and book ends sir? 

I dunno, it sure comes out looking nice this way

been ironing them to dry, they look all clean and crisp



so, 13% haircut if you have more than $15K in the bank, seems like a pretty good argument for Bitcoin to me

Not for all, it is for most of their people, except for the rich who are taxed on 13% of their property  Although it is good for the community, but I feel that it's unfair, LoL
Is this....
Bulk money printing, will inflation happen?

For the sake of following governments action, this was translated from Russia. They are running this message on every channel across the country.

Russia announced their immidiate solutions to corona virus spread and economic losses.
65 years old plus are quarantined to stay inside.
Basic income will be issued to those who've lost work and or supporting families. 12k ruble ($218 CAD) per month and another 5k ruble for each child.
Those who lost jobs will not pay tax for 6 months. Mortgage payments will be put on hold.
Sending money offshore will be taxed 15%.   
All persons with 1million ruble + (approx 18k CAD) in their bank are to pay a 13% tax on the balance.
Citizens are required to bring supllies to those affected by the 65+ quarantine.
He goes on to assure the people that the government is taking measures to benefit all.

In other news, I see the US FED will airdrop $1,200 to its citizens.
Money printer go Brrrrrr....

It may sound weird at first, but it makes sense. In lack of a better solution, NYC has the rink at Rockefeller Center and probably many others across all the state.

Also, instead of building an hospital from scratch like Wuhan did in 10 days. Madrid just repurposed IFEMA Convention Center into a 5000+ bed Hospital in just 2 days:

https://elpais.com/elpais/2020/03/22/album/1584868312_266377.html

That is just one of MANY pavillions of the complex. Also the repurposed rink morgue is very close to it.


On other news, Mexico's President is completely nuts. In a hilarious video staged on some kind of restaurant he encouraged their citizens to go out and socialice even more than ever... because it is good for the economy.


(In original Spanish it sounds much more encouraging... and hilarious)

Maybe he is a Slayer relative?

like, literally, washing bills

the soak water gets fucking nasty man

Largely the way the virus gets into the high-mortality figure range is when systemic failures are exploited. Poor testing, slow reactions from officials on border closures, hospital resource expansion, equipment procurement, basically a lack of foresight and moribund bureaucracy is what is killing people now. The virus is simply the mismanaged agent of death. The financial systems are fucked right now but they weren't in great shape under the hood to begin with ... bitcoin is the antidote for those rats.

I'm encouraged by the innovative approaches that blows away the old ways to save lives. The drive-thru testing from S.Korea that is getting adopted globally, antibody testing by private labs, Apps for disease tracing and an informed public "crowd-sourcing" for where the disease has been spotted (instead of old and slow press conferences with parade-leader politicians and health bureaucrats). Ice-rink morgues are another innovative solution to surge disruption bought on by the virus, hopefully if it is better managed at the prevention/mitigation end we wont need too many of them.

NY city morgues at capacity.

... snake bites. (or SARS-infused ferret bites?)

A report from Madrid where they commandeered an ice-rink (currently not used). Do they simply stack the bodies, literally "on ice",until they can catch up with funerals, cremations, autopsies, etc? Thought that was highly creative, if a little morbid.

I think that qualifies for the funeral home share app prize winner.

But... Isn't current scenario and, even more, post-covid one like the perfect environment for Amazon to have even more success?

Basically all their divisions are in a surge:

- Distribution and online selling of all sort of goods
- Cloud computing (AWS)
- Video streaming (Amazon Prime Video)
- Food distribution (Whole Foods)

It is like the perfect company for times like this.

While everyone is closing/firing they are hiring instead:

If you have bad memory, there is always something new.

Workin on it bro.....

It's tons of fun having piles of lists that you always forget to bring.
Actually you can re-use them again, just edit and then forget to use them over and over again.
Or on the off chance you do remember to bring one its always fun to be on the way back home only to remember you forgot to check the list thats in your pocket. Lol
