Covid19 at the gates?
Venetia is not far from my home, and there are carneval events until mid next week with many north-italian visitors taking place.
Mankind is still too dumb to control an outbreak this big. I bet this will shake the economies quite intensively in the near future.
Shipping from China has stopped, while large container ships have less than 1 crew person per 1000 containers, The ships are practically unmanned.Covid19 at the gates?

Yet tourist keep flying around the world meeting other large groups of tourist from other parts of the world in very confined tourist attractions.
It's the perfect way to spread a human virus as fast and far as possible.
The average age of tourists, traveling to a climate they are not used to and eating food they are not used to all does not help there immune system.

In a strong statement, Israel's health ministry warned that nine South Korean tourists who visited the country recently have tested positive for coronavirus upon returning home.
The ministry called on anyone who may have come into close contact with the tour group for an extended period of time to self-quarantine.
The tourists visited some of the most popular sites in Israel and the West Bank from February 8 to 16, increasing the chance of a large-scale exposure in the region, the ministry said Saturday.
They are praised for giving out a warning on the sabbath, yet I read nothing about (temporary) halting this perfect way to spread the virus.The ministry called on anyone who may have come into close contact with the tour group for an extended period of time to self-quarantine.

It may have worked in this case but I think we are close to passing the point where halting tourist from specific countries would work.

Most here don't get the emerging medium term big picture.
Sadly, it would probably go along the lines of masterluc- that "Vanga" could be right again, but not for any "fundamental" reasons.
I expect a sharp drawdown in many assets including both stock markets and btc, maybe even gold, somewhere between now and late March.
After that, a recovery would start, maybe even reaching back to 10K or thereabout at the halving.
Still, kept all btc (since I am not good at re-entering), increased treasury bills position (sold 67% of equities).

Have been reading it this morning about Italy and some villages/cities on lockdown... Is that for real?
Yes.
Forget the lockdown you saw in China, but yes, some villages are on “limited lockdown”.
I think it is a more “strong moral suasion” to stay at home rather than a true ban (in Italy we have laws, contrary to China).
BREAKING: Italy orders mass closures after #coronavirus cases quadruple. Officials ordered schools, public buildings, restaurants and coffee shops to close. The emergency measures come as a cluster of new COVID19 infections emerged, including some who had not been to China (DW)

I don’t know if it happened also elsewhere, but situation is quickly escalating and I see (read) panick in the streets.
Trains being blocked, Chinese people being attacked and beaten on the streets.

Many people who have received large sums of money end up ruined quickly.
Yeah, if they suddenly received a million dollars they start living like they'll get a million dollars every year.
Wages is all they know.

There is talk of a resistance at $ 10k, it is likely that there is still a floating offer at the $ 9k level.

In the near-term, it is important to keep in mind that Bitcoin is facing mounting resistance between its current price levels and $10,000, with Big Chonis – a popular analyst – noting that he sees “more resistance than support.”

Looks like Craig finally dropped a few hits of X. Maybe he'll come to the profound introspective realization that being a scammer sucks.
Dr. Craig please.
I can only wonder, if jbear was a segregated witness, to this priceless moment in time.
Hey, I _do_ at least get that that is a WTF moment. OTOH, What, Me Worry?
I was vacationing elsewhere. I guess that means that I had already segregated myself.

Seeing the elderly in this situation is really sad.
Parents, schools and universities have to educate young generations financially.

i kinda feel that you need to be able to live poor before you can live rich. although taking the short cut to rich could be nice one may not appreciate it as much.
Many people who have received large sums of money end up ruined quickly.
Your prayer makes a lot of sense, when money is earned with effort, control of superfluous spending is deeply analyzed before executing it.
pretty much this. once i dug myself out of that dark time i made sure that, at every step that i could, i had a secondary plan to fall back on. it taught me so much. its second nature now.
long ago i saw a magazine ad that showed an elderly lady looking sadly at her oil tank gauge (for oil heat for those who may not get it) that was registering basically empty. whoever did the ad captured the look on her face perfectly.
at that second i vowed my wife would never be that woman.
i can still picture that image and that was decades ago. its why im so careful to have fallback positions.

🚖 Taxis called Uber a "bad idea"
🏨 Hotels called Airbnb a "bad idea"
It's simple, they're afraid.
Uber IS a bad idea.
And Airbnb also.
Why? Because they're centralized entities.
A decentralised version of these two companies would be a great idea.
In fact it would be easy to do it with smart contracts on blockchain.

I think BTC is going to rise.
fixed that for you
The once legendary rpietila.
very sad but fuck off. OK thanks you got me into monero, then you robbed a lot of people.
Why arent people like this banned.
Big shame, the fallen hero from my view.
Fuck off then fuck off again.
We all do have our fallen Hero's
Not worth any attention if they robbed you
actually I'm very lucky the game was too complicated for me to understand really.
There were lots of promises, but in researching "how to" I found a darker side that warned me off. Some people just stuck in a hole and stuff.
Others were not so lucky and we are talking big money here, especially in today terms.
Then an effective exit scam/ more empty promises to repay stuff never fulfilled.
Unbelievable excuses such as fire, robbery, flood, bird flew away with paper wallets etc. all in about a week.
Big shame
I would not touch that silly game with a 10 foot pole. It reeked of everything off about risto. A game where he sets himself up as king and creates all these guilded hoops for his followers to jump through.
I had private conversations with some of the active BCT Monero community via PMs here about my concerns about both how it looked, and the potential to be an exit scam.
I was sorry to see so many people ripped off by a madman. And also sorry to see the descent of the madman himself. He was/is(?) pretty nutty, but he saw things early. Too bad he was sucked into various chemical traps...

$9770, the 61.8 fib retracement is a crucial make or break moment imo. Above it, we'd be clear to $11,577, below it, we'd look go return to the 0.5 at $8501 (as well as 50 Week MA).
Regardless, even falling back down to the 0.382 at $7,231, where the 100 Week MA is priced (as well as $4 off from the hash ribbons buy signal), would still be bullish.
Needless to say, we are still very much in an uptrend.

[...] I needed to involve myself in other new side projects [...]
I kept the btc but continued the BTFD practice on TSLA stock, and did well. If this crypto-winter lasts any longer, I may be forced to look for a 3rd project. Jump to:
